Pilot card gets 1 regenerating charge.

When you spend a charge on an equipped upgrade, you may spend 1 charge to regenerate 1 charge on that upgrade.

When you would spend a charge on an equipped EPT you may spend this charge instead.

Triple Aces? We’ll know more tomorrow, but I am really curious how many unique pilots we’re actually going to get per ship with the conversion kits. I suspect that we won’t be getting near all the pilots that are in 1.0, and that some of them may pop up later when the actual ship ezpansion comes out (and the macthing wave conversion kits).

If it exists in 1.0 and is going to exist in 2.0 then it is going to be in the conversion kit or core. New pilots will certainly come out, but they are not holding back existing pilots from the conversion kits.

I said what I said for a reason

Making it any equipped upgrade means that he has a use for his ability in rounds where his EPT doesn't do anything, and gives more options for using it generally.

It also gives him infinite munitions. They aren’t doing that.

Reload is still in the game.

Reload costs an action, a stress, and likely a weapons disabled token on the bomber.

A single tie bomber would still carry more munitions than could be fired in any game, so it's not like it's impossible. Plus there is already common reload mechanic, so far it seems that on every dedicated ordnance carriers.

It could just represent his skill as a pilot, to perform an action better than your average pilot.

Is it good? Sure. It's not broken at all, and it isn't something otherwise impossible.

They could do it. I'm not sure they will tho.

I’m a little skeptical of this... They have to leave some room for growth. I think we’re interpreting what was said slightly differently. I believe 100% that everything in the new wave one expansions will be covered. And , I believe the faction conversion kits will cover all the non-unique pilots for each ship. But, I think going forward we will see a few new uniques pop up with subsequent expansions, along with some new upgrades. These are what will be covered in the vaguely described wave conversion kits.

Yes, but those will be new pilots, not rereleases from 1.0. They are not holding back 1.0 content from the conversion kits.

I still believe your going to get quite a few less unique pilots than that are currently in 1.0. I just don’t see them flooding the game with tons of uniques when it hasn’t seen field testing yet. If the conversion kit only contains enough cardboard for two ships of most types, which I’m assumming would be the limiting factor for the number of ship listed for the kit, then this only gives you four side to work with. A generic pilot (for both ship) takes up half the sides, only leaving room for two uniques. Or less, if there are more than one generic for that ship type. This, of course is all speculative, until we see the actual contents of a conversion kit. Perhaps they are providing more cardboard than the number of ships listed. I.e, 2 supporting to ships means two sides for each generic class, plus a variety of uniques. Tomorrow, we get more answers tomorrow...

Wish we knew what that Salvo card did.

While you perform a {torp} or {missile} attack, you may spend a charge from that upgrade card to (obscured text) defense dice. The (obscured text) those dice.

The hidden parts are apparently (re-roll a number of the) and (defender cannot re-roll)

So his ability would be to spend his recharging charge to charge another charge with a charge?

Yeah, if Brenn (or his renamed incarnation) appear in 2. 0 he'll just do the same thing

When you spend a charge on an ept, put a charge on that ept

Crackshot nerf sucks but ellusive seems quite dandy

Ok, given that image, I can see there being rules governing "bonus attack". I took the OP's wording as verbatim, and clearly I shouldn't have. This reads differently, and there is language that can obviously be regulated with the rule book we haven't seen yet. Apologies.

" After this attack, you may perform this attack against a different target at range 0-1 of the defender, ignoring the [lock] requirement."

Actual text: " After this attack, you may perform this attack as a bonus attack against a different target at range 0-1 of the defender, ignoring the [lock] requirement."

As we can see, the original quoted text works just fine. If that's the case, then there is no reason to include the words "as a bonus attack" as they are meaningless. But they did, so we must assume they were added for some reason. According to current rules, they have no meaning. However, there will obviously be a new rulebook with the new edition. Who wants to bet it has a definition for "bonus attack" and that definition includes a limit on the number of bonus attacks a ship can make?

I missed it accidentally. I wasn't aiming to misinform. sorry

Won't be too bad of an attack with Fire Control System, esp. on a force user. (Going off memory, the new FCS lets you reroll a die if you have a lock on your target.) Getting a reroll on each attack with the chance to modify with force (or extra focuses from ablities/allies) ain't too bad.
