Polish leaks for 2.0 with dodgy second hand translations.

Nah stealth device is same as before except it has 1 charge that you loose if you take damage, however if there is a way to get back charges then it would come back so interesting little change

I don't think there will be way get back any charge you want, that would brake too many thing. Only thing we will get are things that recharge specific things like Reload recharging a munitions charge, Tomax Bren recharging an ept charge and maybe Jabba can recharge illicit charges.

For the record, palp giving the ship hes on +1 force isnt really that amazing.

Remember palp only fits on 2crew ships, which for imperials (not FO) thats strictly Decimator, Lambda, Reaper, and depending on how the TIE Shuttle is handled (if at all) the TIE Shuttle might be one too.

None of those are force pilots. In fact, does the Empire even have another force user BESIDES vader/palp? Kylo is FO so hes out (as is the inevitable Snoke)
This is why him being both 2crew AND only +1 force (which only mods focus without a special ability for it) hes kinda bs. Unless hes basically "the slots are the cost" so pointswise hes very cheap, not sure if we'll see him much.

Well that's why im sure "force" is pilot card based so you can't Regen more than one force a turn per pilot, outside abilities

Otherwise you'd just be encouraged to stack force upgrades on a force sensative pilot, and that kinda **** was what led us to a game revamp in the first place

Anyway, Palp is FINE. We're entering an era where it will be VERY difficult to secure additional modifiers, ESPECIALLY action independent modifiers. The force, and Palp, is one of very few ways to do it

And Palp still works independent of action or range, AND he can be used by the ship carrying him

He's going to be great (long as he isn't overpriced)

kinda moot if they keep 0 agility, though ?

Decimator keeping 0 agility is a bit counter to them having the reinforce action, since it now only changes to evade, does not add. Having them be behind obstacles doesn't make too much sense when combined with reinforce.

Reinforce reduces damage by 1, to a minimum of 1. It has nothing to do with agility or defense dice.

Heard something different a couple of days ago. Anyways so it now works like reinforced deflectors, it seems more balanced.

Empire has The Grand Inquisitor and possibly other Inquisitorial characters who could be force pilots (Probably in TAPs).

There may also be others who can add +1 Force as an upgrade you could stick on a Decimator with Palp (assuming it's 3+ crew again and not like, 2 Crew and a Gunner since it'll be a PWT)

There are at least three force using TAP pilots that we know of.

The only craft aside from Vader's Tie Advanced for the Empire at the moment that has been confirmed to have a force rating is the Tie Advanced Prototype. The Inquistor has it, I think they might have said the Seventh Sister is a pilot, but more importantly is that there is a generic Inquistor pilot with a force rating of 1. Which I think is the only generic pilot with a force rating as it is limited to only unique pilots/crew otherwise. At least until they decide to make a Republic faction which could probably introduce some kind of generic jedi pilot for the D7, D7 with standard astromech slot, and the Eta-2.

I think Han + Luke crew will be the go to card combo for now as it is the closest to what people know from version 1, that said, it may not be massively competitive, we will have to wait and see.

Speaking of what and see . .

I wonder what they have re-worked Leia, Chewbacca, C3PO and crew R2D2 into. .

More excited for Leia. . will she be +1 force?

And giving free dice-modification. He better cost and arm and a leg.

If he doesn't they can fix that problem now!

Perhaps it has been state in a previous post... but since The Galactic Empire and The First Order in V.2 are seperate factions, Palpatine can nolonger assist Quickdraw or Wampa or Kylo in his Silencer.

Perhaps Snoke is on his way in the First Order Conversion Box comming second time around?

Luke seems like he may be very powerful, basically reverting any Turret ship he’s on back to 360 firing arc

Spend force token.

Lots of stuff in 1.0 was endless always on. Almost all these cool effects here use up a resource.

Why can't my boi Palp help Wamba??

Maybe you can’t regen force if you have stress.

That would be cool. Would also make Palpatine stronger as you would have to stress the Lambda in order to stop him from influencing the rest of the fleet.

The force token changes one focus result to a hit or evade.

I wonder if Carnor Jax will get force powers. Or if his ability in 2.0 is that he prevents a force user from being able to use their force power. That would be sweet.

Emperor Palpatine - When another friendly ship is defending, you may spend your force token as if this friendly ship just spent a force token.

Could be very powerful with Vader and other Force users to give them way more uses of their abilities

Noted and agreed, but I think the post was referring to Wamba being part of the First Order, have that moved him over?

No, Wampa was always imperium.

Don't forget Mara Jade had force powers. Assuming they include her in 2.0

Maybe we'll see Starkiller too from Force Unleashed. Really doubt it though.

Isnt Mara Jade EU though? im not that well versed in EU
And seeing as Juno's ability got shifted over (and relative PS) i'd be shocked to see Starkiller. Plus you jus tknow they'd be forced to do something in line with his greatest feat: pulling a freaking Stardestroyer out of the sky - and imo that definitely trumps Palp's ability, the supposed most powerful force user in the galaxy.

Yes, she is EU.

Are they really doing away with EU pilots? I remember hearing that they were bringing over all the pilots from 1.0. I can't be sure if they're planning on bringing all the crew too.

-----------------------------

Honestly, I wouldn't want Starkiller in X-wing. I was just trying to come up with more Imp force users.

there would be something appealing about having a massive tanky 'flagship' with both the Empire's bigwigs on board..

When the rebels inevitably blow it up, the empire would be pretty overthrown ?
