Who's that riding shotgun...veteran turret gunner? Wait, somebody is riding shotgun??!

Horton has an EPT AND CREW!!!

No, Y-Wings have a GUNNER. It’s a new slot.

And.... using the incorrect terminology encourages and perpetuates incorrect assumptions that become expected and then create resentment when not true. I have literally seen someone’s random speculation become something “we were promised by the company” that fans were angry didn’t materialize.

This effect is even more pronounced at times like these when there are dozens of multi page threads with people drawing on many sources of information.

Oh, sure. I think the slot is turret gunner, which is a specialized form of crew, like teams. not the same slot, but the same overall category (also including Astromechs)[Categories aren't official and mean nothing so far as I know]. Pretty happy.

Oh, Ten Numb ate Keyan... Didn’t noticed before.

I havent seen too many people mention the new Firespray Dial in the preview, a huge improvement over 1.0

Someone mentioned B-wings could reverse, so that dial could be the B-wing's.
In that case it's greatly improved, with 3 koiogran and talons, and fewer reds.

That dial doesn't have talons, just red three turns.

B-wing will have talons, they said it on the stream, so this can't be it.

Most probably its the new HWK dial i think, the one with the 1 backwards maneuver

Wow, you ain't kidding. Han loses his 1 turns and Boba takes them.

People keep mentioning a "red" force token . . they getting confused with the Ion token because I cannot see anything that looks like the four leaf force token that is red.

That picture got removed once it was understaood that it was an inactive force token.

The Empire has a few more really infamous droids no one is mentioning. Imperial Probe Droid, it even has Dead Man Switch built in. Interrogator Droid, not sure how they will implement that one. Maybe as a crew, if combined with Rebel Captive, make it work twice a round :P

joking of course

Rebel Cloak... the illicit cloak still exists and Rebels still have ships with access? I would prefer this isn't the case.

Imperial Calculate, as others have said, could be generic K2 droid. That makes a good amount of sense though they were mainly used as security. Doesn't seem like the right place for them. If Thrawn is the in the game, I could see him generating masses of calculate tokens, even though he's not a droid, somehow.

Rebel Calculate is pretty easy to explain with various droids that can either be pilots or crew... but it could also be Leebo.

This thread is missing somethong in front of you.

Wait, what!?

Of course this could just be a completely temporary mock-up and almost certainly just beta values, but hey ho.

R2D2 - 10 points

Proton Torps -8

Some new Force ability - 5

R5-D8 - 7

Check here. Apparently during the streamed demo game they mentioned some of the tweaks to the Falcon. It loses hard 1 turns but gets hard 3. Full new Firespray dial is visible in the Become Infamous article.

Out of 200 pts now

so R2 is 5 pts. One more than before

and Protons are the same at 4

The red is probably exhausted for force, charge, and shields, the scum force token is maul and ventress, rebels have chopper, ap-5, leebo if he made it, and some other droids for calculate, but I’m as stumped as you are for imperial calculate

MSE-6 (mouse) Droid confirmed!

As to the rebel reverse, I do hope it is on the HWK-290.

the imperial calculate could be the imperial hunter droid M-OC, possibly coming with a Tracker I title for the TIE Phantom - these are from the Freemaker Adventures.

0-0-0 and BT-1 could be crew that give calculate tokens

Could also just be a system slot that assigns them?

So don't get hyped because of "ummm, actually..."?

Nuts to that, Forgottenjoy!

HORTON SALM IS GUARANTEED TO BE THE BEST EVER!!! IT HAS BEEN DECREED AND FFG HAS ETCHED IT INTO STONE TABLETS?!

Uh-oh, did I just encourage false assumptions? Are the FFG forums going to be resentful towards FFG for the first time in history???

Stay tuned.

Stay tuned.

The proper response would be. “Oh, I didn’t realize that. That’s just as cool, maybe even better. Thanks for pointing that out”

not being an *** because your $#)*&$ ego cant handle being wrong and excited at the same time.

Im sick to death of people getting bitchy about stuff I’M excited about because people don’t know how to read and write.
