E-wing has +one hull, and the LRS has insane synergy with FCS. LRS is also a very good action economy action, like advanced optics. E-wings can get full modded attacks and FCS predator (best passive modifier).

So guys. Easy TL/Focus for proton torp feels like it could be a thing, like if the generics are cheap enough I might do 3 of them (iirc they said it was going to be more expensive).
E-wing & Defender are the big winners from todays reveal. Thankfully Corran is bullseye arc now. Hopefully he can keep Falcons in check cause those are looking strong as well.
aint got nothing on the defender
Yeah fam my defenders ain't worried.
I'm betting both Defenders and E Wings cost a minimum of 67 points.
Semi-glad I didn't get a third defender now.
I'm glad the E-wing got good. I always liked the more unusual letter-wings, although they really should switch to a different model for the E-wing 2.0 expansion.
Throw on the new R2 astromech, which is called R4 asteomech and you get a dial with white 1 turns and blue 1 straight, 1 banks, 2 straight, 2 banks, and 2 turns. Also with the blue 3 and 4 straights and that dial seems pretty open. Definitely not Defender level, hoping we see more cards like maybe a configuration, but looks far better than its 1.0 counterpart.
Edited by KiraYamatoSFRegen droids will still work alright on Corran as well. He's getting a disarm token on a double tap anyway so he won't even have to worry about sticking to greens while he sets up for his next run.
But only three times it'll buy a little more time but not make him immortal
Yeah, and with the double tap being bullseye only it'll give that build an even higher skill requirement.

And the order it is in will give him (or his opponent) no modifications.

I'd presume that you'll be going with Predator or something with his talent, seeing as you're aiming for the bullseye arc anyway. Maybe FCS if they still have the system slot, maybe...
But yeah, it's definitely been brought down a bit from where it was.
Edited by __underscore__Sounds like E-Wings and Defenders are the pricey deluxe options. I'm willing to bet you won't be able to put more than 2 of either in a list. Tech fluff wise, they're like the ships that bridge between Rebels/Empire and Resistance/First Order.
We got pics anywhere? I've been trying to catch up on things from yesterday but I haven't seen the E yet.
The E-Wing looks good, but I'm not sure how it'll shake out. Even less sure about the Defender. Guess it depends on what upgrades they have available/cost.

Ahh, thank you. It's embarrassing, I made it through all the Imp & Scum pics last night but forgot I'd only made it through part of the Rebs.
Anyway though, the E looks very promising! I'm not regretting having 2 now!

Yeah, through a single trade I received 7 E Wings. Down to 6 now through a trade but still.

And it’ll be easy to land on large ships. If they get out of control he’s the guy.
I'd be more concerned about SatSalvo pro-torp knaves than corran
Long range scanners, fcs, ability to force green dice rerolls (sat salvo seems to be rakoff's ability) is a frightening alpha
If E-Wings cost the same as defenders, they will probably suck. I’m guessing the stock Defender will cost 66, and the stock E-Wing will be mid-high 50s.
The E-wing gets a pretty nice buff on its dial, and I think it BADLY needed the extra hull point. Corran only being able to double-tap if a target is in his Bull's-Eye arc is a bit of a nerf, but hopefully the opened up dial (1-Turns and S-Loops!) will make it easier for the E-wing to gain that arc.

Quite possibly. But the great thing is that FFG can tweak the points on the fly so that everything can stay useful, regardless of where they end up on the cost curve.
