anyone found what they messed up yet?

So the Renegade Refit gets you two mod slots. If you take the S-Foils mod, can you also add Autothrusters with your second mod?

Does Autothusters only trigger when you have the "Closed" side up?

Okey a huge boost to t-65. It's alot of packs for new players too get a base ship viable though.

Will we get new packs like these for B-wings as well? There are so many ships that need points or powerlevel adjusted, but how many packs are we gonna need to buy to keep this game floating?

can't equip autothrusters because in the list building phase the ship doesn't have a native boost action.

You just need it on your bar to equip thrusters

Doesn't say anything about needing boost to use em ;)

Just want to get this in here now: the Boost Action on your action bar provided by Servomotor S-Foils card will NOT allow an X-Wing to equip Autothrusters (unless you ALSO buy Engine Upgrade). This is because of the following line from the Dual Cards rules card:

"Dual Upgrade cards are not active until they are placed in the play area during setup. Only the faceup side of a Dual Upgrade card is active."

Happy hunting! Very excited!

But you could equip EU and AT, then, skipping IA and s-foils. If you wanted to do that. For some reason.

I think that if you equip the S-Foils mod closed, you can. Autothrusters says you need the boost action when you equip it and the K-Fighter has already set the precedent that you can equip engine upgrade and autothrusters.

So you can equip it, but in gameplay if you switch to attack, you can still trigger Autothrusters?

Sounds iffy to me but I'll take it.

Sure you would

Because OT Poe

Also, confirmed that the spread is wrong?

Sadly, nope. See my above post (probably posted while you were typing!)

At least Imperials have fighters that are good.

That's true, they do. They aren't the 2-att TIE/ln though.

Having X-wings and TIE/ln not be in parity feels funny. Plus, I'd love a reason to take a few of my pile of TIEs off of their HotAC bases.

looks legit to me

So if you start the game with servomotors on the boost side, can you equip autothrusters?

EDIT, Nevermind, man replies happen quickly.

Whelp, 5 T65s are real.

Heh. R2’s I guess?

So now the real kicker

Does renegade refit make the U worth considering over Low or Ezra/Rau

...I highly doubt it

Although double mods means janktastic EU + thrusters

Saw with Maul and Ezra?

Eitherway, happy days! So much goodness in this!

Excited about the X-Wing stuff!

Wonder if it will be about in line with the Kihraxz Fighter.

5x T65s seem good.

These two cards scare me though.

Indeed I was. Thanks for the quick explanation. Disappointing in that regard but there's still plenty here to be excited about.

Much in the same way as you can't use Adaptability to qualify for equipping a PS-restricted upgrade card, you can't use S-Foils to equip Autothrusters.

If you could, however, you could use Autothrusters no matter which side is up. Much in the same way as losing Veteran Instincts wouldn't preclude you from using Black One.

Flight Assist Astromech

Does Magva's ability happen if your ship doesn't have a native TL such as the Auzituck?

Yes. See "Systems Officer"

Overpriced, perhaps. But Saw still needs to get through defense dice. Vader doesn't - he just does a crit, directly. That can be handy...although probably not at that price.

Yes, the mechanic is different enough. But it is a loss of faction identity, at the very least.
