It doesn't. It literally says in the wave announcement article it doesn't.

"This ship bears the unusual jam action that lets you jam nearby ships and prevent them from using a focus, evade, or target lock" .

Right, but two things here

1) Rules in articles are virtually never correct, and when they are theyre on the absolute most basic rules in the game (crits cause face up cards!)
2) Wheres the rules card for Jam in the reaper spread? It neither has jam token rule or the jam action.

Again i highly doubt were getting the stress version, but so far its making me think they forgot to update something or include something, so RAW it is the stress version. Which would be fixed rather quick i bet if that did happen, still wouldnt stop a lot of people from abusing it while they can.

Yeah, I even quoted the article in another thread and someone was like, "we don't know that yet."

They wrote it right there!

Now, I totally expect there to be a Jam Action reference card with the Reaper, if not a mission/rulebook, for specific details but with what was listed in the article, I do not think that there is any worry.

There are two Jam tokens in the Reaper spread. Those are not used by the Huge ship version of the action.

The U-Wing spread also doesn't have the correct number of chits to pilot cards, and originally had the U-Wing ship using a X-Wing chit (which was later edited). I wouldn't get hung up on the accuracy of the spread.

Personally, I think having just a Gozanti and a lot of Tie Bombers with ordnance is the best bet.

Then again, while some people have played Epic, we haven't really had a meta form yet. I would love to play numerous games of Epic with people to really work on the various types of builds. I'd love to see a CR-90 that has lots of long range shots and tries to skirt the battlefield. I'd like to see people deal with numerous small ships. While people locally have tried epic, they haven't really gotten into it too much.

Long range CR-90 works really well, I managed to wreck my friends C-ROC before he could get in range: https://anotherdorksblog.wordpress.com/2017/07/09/cr-90-vs-c-roc/

I'm pleased they brought out an epic FAQ, I play epic quite a bit so this is welcome
