"Here's your fix, dear prince...also here's your curbstomp hardcounter"

Good point sir. It is an ironically a well balanced expansion, as it adds amazing abilities and cost reductions to virtually unused tourney Scum ships, as it gives their prey the exact thing they need to destroy them easier..... interesting to say the least.

at least we got Thweek

Thweek is goddamn hilarious

It’s only letting me order one copy. Anyone else have this problem?

Id like one for myself, and one for my brother (his birthday is 4/4), but it doesn’t look possible...

In any case, thanks for for the heads up! Purchased one.

Understatement of the year.

It doesn't matter what the question is, the answer is always "Thweek"

So many pint nights that I see Thweek accross the table, I'm running something like a lightly stress loaded Patrol Leader with a pair of Alpha Squadron Autothruster Interceptors....so he ain't too happy.

If you can Viper roll after your opponent has moved, you should ALWAYS be happy

It's says limit 1.

They often do that for sale items.

Poor Kihraxzes and Vipers.

De ja vu - almost the same thing as when Talonbane was released. He would have been amazing with his double range boni had FFG not released TLT in the same wave.

TBC is still a really good ship still. I don't understand why people complain about him, especially with the fixes.

because he's still just a worse fenn rau

I actually think the Vaksai is pretty cool, especially with 1 point glitterstims, but nowadays you won't last a round without ten health/autothrusters/regen/gobs of defensive mods/combinations thereof

and giving them EU into vital autothrusters just turns them into **** Viper/Fangs

But Fenn Rau is powercreep.

And considering that Fenn Rau is pretty good as it is, having a slightly worse second version is still pretty good. I would really like a PS 9 Imperial that is slightly worse than Vader, but does generally the same thing.

Plus, you can really go crazy with Vaksai.

If they had not nerfed Mindlink, I would be running Vaksais everywhere.

Well, I'm happy you don't get to do that

I still can't get over the fact they nerfed Mindlink, then nerfed the original problem all along, but never bothered touching Mindlink again.

Oh, I'm sure it's still broken, but I would've preferred strengthened counterplay instead of a simple removal. Mindlinked Scyks were hilarious.

I had so much fun with my "Scyk Bastards" list, 3 Mindlinked Tansarii Vets, 1 each Tractor, Flechette and Ion. And for maximum jank, the 4th ship was Mindlinked 4-LOM with Electronic Baffle, Title, Outlaw Tech, Black Market Slicer Tools.

Won more matches than I lost, lost more friends than I made.

What "original problem" with Midnlink did they nerf? The Jumpmaster nerfs didn't really touch the Parattanni Asajj/Fenn/Jump or the Fenn/Terroch/Jump lists. 3x Torp Scouts (or 2x Scout + Lok Revenant, which looked promising) did get hit by the Jumpmaster nerf, but still.

I mean, did you forget last System Open Series when nearly all the top tables were dominated by Parattanni?

They released TLT the wave before. Torpedo JumpMasters were Talonbane’s issue.

Fortunately, FFG handled that problem in a quick and decisive manner.

hes one of my favourite pilots, but he costs too much. the 2 points overpriced puts him at 32 points plus with upgrades, which is a lot of points for something that dies that easy

TLTs came originally with the K-wing. Wave 7. Kihraxz is which wave? 7.

Lots of TLT everywhere (among others Thug Lyfe). No 4 green dice at range 3 for TC, instead only 2 on a platform with a rather stiff dial. No autothrusters unless investing 6pts, and at that time no barrel roll available at all. Illegal cloaking came later, as well. Kihraxzes were "old" design, before powercreep really took off in earnest. Difficult to avoid so many 360 arcs w/o range bonus.

28pts dying superfast, as TC has a real big target painted on his back. Later came powercreep JM5K and powercreep Fenn Rau (who basically was a slap into TC's face*).
