PSA: No, you can't use S Foils to equip Autothrusters

By thespaceinvader, in X-Wing

Because I've already answered that question like 8 times and it's only been announced for an hour.

Dual Cards don't set their side until the ship is placed during setup, they have no effect during list building, so you don't have boost during listbuilding, so you can't get AT with it.

Regardless of what squad builders might say, squad builders are not rules sources.

So the T-70 still has something different from the t-65.

You CAN use refit to get engine and autothrusters if you REALLY want em though.

Balls!

It may work well on a U-Wing.

I was so busy thinking of mixing other upgrades on my baby the U-wing that I never even considered this level of madness. Thank you!

You can make the U-Wing super tanker, especially against turrets.

•Bodhi Rook (38) - U-Wing
Sensor Jammer (4), Renegade Refit (-2), •C-3PO (3), •Magva Yarro (2), Engine Upgrade (4), Autothrusters (2)

Plus an M9-G8 carrier out there to lock on to the attacker and have that re roll. Even TLTs will have trouble making it through.

If the issue with autothrusters and the boost icon is rooted in the place forces step, what is the interaction between the barrel roll icon on the s-foils card and the Expert Handling EPT? S-foils open + barrel roll = no stress but s-foils closed + barrel roll = stress?

Holy sweet beeping jeebus Renegade Refit isn't Limited.

Whilst the modification rules specifies "2 different modification upgrades" not "an additional modification", can someone give me a rules reason why I can't double-equip Renegade Refit and field 5 Blue Squadron Pathfinders and/or get a double-discount on Saw's elite upgrade?

  • Saw Gerrera
    • Pivot Wing
    • Daredevil
    • Advanced Sensors
    • Kanan Jarrus
    • Kyle Katarn
    • Renegade Refit
    • Renegade Refit
    • Engine Upgrade
    • Autothrusters

For 38 points.

Suck ion fumes, TIE Strikers.....

Because U-wings only have one Torpedo slot.

...Thank heavens for that. I honestly don't know why I was convinced they had two.

That puts the cost up to 41 points - a bit more reasonable - but still very impressive, especially as he only gets nastier as you hurt him.

Saw is going to be a lot of fun. Especially for pilots that live off of stress. Tycho, Keyan, Classic "Super Dash" etc ... (He is not limited to once per turn either.)

Makes stress-hogs and -pedes a bit more menacing as well!

Also a subtle soft counter to Asajj and Stressbots and the like, too.

E: also, worth noting that he works on himself. Saw/PTL/Kanan/Kyle/Engine/Autos yeah.

Or Saw/PTL/Kanan/Finn/Engine/Autos.

As well as making it easier to miss with the first shot of a stressmule* or stressipede with gunner.

*Braylen is still relevant, dammit. Oh who am I kidding, no he's not.
