...is how we are all in pain, waiting to see which squad builder app gets the new card info uploaded first. I swear it's just taking SO long, AMIRITE

I'm more upset that I have yet to see a double sided token for s-foils. Seriously it's been a few days...

Get Startactics: Squadron Builder. It works so nicely for me and updates it's cards quickly. It has the recent cards already added. I highly recommend it.

wrong

it's actually clickbat

...whoops

Aurora app got them up that night. And yeah I have those tokens ordered already lol

****...e bay only .

Renegade X-wing's overall gives good vibes. But it's a travesty that the poor Kihraxz was just updated with Vaksai title and it is so utterly outclassed by the new T-65.

I have no idea why people keep bringing up the Vaksai

They're not the same thing, and the vaksai can easily hold their own against T-65s simply by having Harpoon missiles

easily

obviously the cartel marauder ain't got **** on the new rookie, but no renegade refit can pack the same punch as a simple Deadeye harpoon Blacksun ace


the only way the X truly out-classes the Vaksai is within the specific context of intra-faction design, i.e nothing in Rebels really does what the new X does (esp with FFA) while the Vaksai is already competing with the SCURRG and Kim for its role as "poon caddie"

There seriously needs to be a pilot named Tang.

You got me all excited for nothing! Curse you! I just checked: Aurora does not have Renegade Refit nor Servomotor S-Foils (at least not the Android version, at least not yet).

Apple has both right now ?

The Cartel Marauder brigade actually do better than I'd expected. There's a distinct difference between the X and the K now - X-wings are a bit manouvrable - barrel roll and talon roll mean they don't have to come at you straight on, whilst thread tracers mean lots of focus/locked attacks from the khiraxz - and contraband cybers means they can joust, loop, and still keep shooting to pretty good effect - the one thing all the refits and modifications don't give the rookie X-wing is any way of generating extra dice-fettling tokens.

Launch Bay on iPhone had the updated cards that day. It’s now my favorite builder.

Yah, the iOS version got it within probably an hour or two of the article, android is lagging behind on updates at the moment. A couple updates back on iOS introduced some pretty bad bugs, so I held off upgrade Android at the time until I could get it fixed. I got that fix out for iOS, but for some reason I'm having other issues in the android version that mean I haven't been able to release the last update there until I get it figured out. Unfortunately, one of the changes in those last couple updates was changing how over the air updates work and where they're fetched from, so Android won't get the OTA updates either until I get a new update out

Somebody PLEASE update the Squad Builders!

We need you guys!

Exactly. Compare a 20 point build with the titles

• The Post Vaksai Khiraxz gains
  • Thread Tracers with all the trimmings
    • 4 focus/target locked attacks are better against almost all opponents than 5 attacks with 'just' focus
    • Being able to use a range 3 shot for a no-range-bonus secondary weapon with guidance chips is a good trade; rerolls on four ships will make up the damage you would have done.
    • With munitions failsafe, there's no real downside.
  • The one-use ability to perform actions or red manoeuvres whilst stressed.
    • Yes, stressing your own ship is bad but back-to-back K-turns at the right moment can win the game.
    • Alternatively it can allow you to fire a tracer after a mass K-turn and give your entire squad locks they shouldn't have.
• The Post Renegade Refit X-wing gains
  • Talon Roll (but then it didn't have a choice of 'end-around' moves and the Khiraxz did
  • Barrel Roll
  • Flight Assist Astromech - free repositioning except in a head-on joust
  • +1 shield (ish) with integrated astromech

They're actually closer in effect than you'd think. And as noted, once you get into expensive aces, the fact that the K still has its missile slot and the X doesn't helps underline the jouster vs dogfighter styles both have developed.

In my experience, the one thing I really miss when flying the cartel marauders is the 1 straight.

A slow roll whilst maintaining fire for 2 or even 3 rounds would be amazing. The 1 hard turn is about equivalent to the 3 hard, but that 1 straight is what makes a Z95 better than a light Scyk for 12 pts.

Agreed. At least it has the 1 bank, though - that puts it head and shoulders above most of the faster heavy swarmers.

I love Aurora. The fact that it has been updated so fast is amazing, and the fact that it's a free resource is something I'm very thankful for. That said, the version I have currently isn't discounting the EPT even when I have the Refit equipped.
