"Caption Rex"

By Khyros, in X-Wing

Haha, so as I was going through and updating my tracker on everything we know thus far (which can be found here if anyone is interested: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DMqgr3MQPStvLtLQRCLr0b_hcvNz53Sow7IGB7gXN_U/edit?usp=sharing ) I noticed that the suppressive fire condition card calls out Caption Rex . Seeing as they opened the upgrade boxes right in front of us, do you think that typo is going to make it to us in the first printing?

If it does or does not, it'll make it to us in our hearts

Yea from this point on, who is this "Captain" Rex to which you refer?

I have to assume the unboxed pack was from a final test run but I could be wrong (I don't know that much about manufacturing). They may or may not have caught it before the production run.

"Master of Captions ", the former soldier thought to himself as he bent over the most recent issue of the New Yorker. He had won the caption contest 3 times in the last 8 months: an unprecedented streak of winning wittiness. Peering at the printed sketch of a business man standing in the rain while holding a duck under his arm, he chuckled to himself. " Better make that 4 times! I'll be Caption Rex! "

He makes memes so awesome, it slays opponents in their tracks

This is the new guidance chimps.

It's part of the 2.0 overhaul. They decided to move the "Spot the Error" minigame from their web articles into the actual physical products. It's the same reason why the Engine Upgrade card uses the Vaksai artwork, even though the 2.0 Khiraxz doesn't have the red boost required to use Engine Upgrade.

or maybe...illicit red boost upgrade slot + engine upgrade + khiraxz triple mod slot...

dare to dream?

There are other simple typos that, while they don't exist, are brought to mind by Caption Rex.

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

...Red Two had heard enough about the shot that was "one in a million". You know who got the squad there? Red Two did, that's who . With a jerk, he swirled his black trench coat on over his back and slammed the door as he huffed out of the ready room, leaving the other pilots behind in the awkward silence that followed. F'ing farm boy! I'm a **** good pilot myself, you know...

He knew what would make him feel better. He'd go see that pretty Senator's daughter. She's still probably sad her planet was destroyed. She'd need some cheering up, right? He could do that, it would be the gentlemanly thing to do, and he was a gentleman, even if nobody saw it, gorramit.

He rounded the corner to the hanger and spotted the young woman. She was covering her mouth and laughing at something that **** spice smuggler said. Of course! Unidentified rage exploded inside and he spun around, slamming his forehead into the doorway arch, causing everyone to turn and look. "I'm the best pilot in the Galaxy, you morons!" he shouted at everyone and no one.

How bout no?

Boost is supposed to go on fast and maneuverable ships.

As I understand from the continued complaints about the HWK, it is supposed to be fast and maneuverable

This is awesome.

But no, for he is the King of captions. All hail Caption Rex !

New Captain Rex seems worse.. if a higher PS friendly ship shoots at him, it removes your condition?

Read to the end! There's a narrative arc and everything!

Only if Rex is destroyed.

Second line

”after captain Rex defends, remove this card”

Brainfart.

Seems like it. Well, good. Rex was way too good for his points as a distraction, now his low PS actually has a drawback.

When Rex assigns the condition, you also have to declare, "Help! Help! I'm being Suppressed!"

Similarly, when the enemy uses Palp, you can complain about not voting for him.

So as the ship pilot probably is spelled Capt a in Rex on the pilot card, in the current iteration you will always be supressed, cause you never can attack Capti o n Rex ;)

Do FFG ever proof read? Reminds of the text garble on the Jam token reference card ("remove of its 1 tokens").

Or even worse, the C-Roc blunder.

Quite the contrary.

Every ship you attack is a ship other than Capti o n Rex, so you are never suppressed. Ever.

But if you were, it would still fall off when you attack Capt a in Rex.

It's already a 2.0 alt-art card that the krayts made- It was done a couple hours after the livestream.
