I  mean, FFG was apparently *** backwards enough to introduce luke gunner into 2.0 (assuming polish spoilers  were correct) but come on...they CAN'T be dumb enough to allow luke gunner on Dash, buffing him past his 1.0 incarna  tio  n

I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with the HWK?

Please try to remain on topic

...

More interesting to discuss is Moldy Crow....

Closest thing to Rey/Advanced Optics we have seen so far, and keeping things in that front Arc with the Hawk for a fully modified shot isnt going to be easy but sure as **** is going to be rewarding.

Did you not read the context at all?

I was responding to the mention of a dash Jan build with the inclusion of moldy crow

I'm flattered to have people so invested in my complaints but please pay attention to its context

which is why I'm leaning towards engine upgrade for white boosts.

EU for white boosts

Cloaking device on the scum buddies, topped with palob/mux abilities

Going to be a real "cawcaw, mother****er!" kind of 2.0

Never thought I'd see the day the HWK turned into a combat ship

It also has the fortune of not having the limiting clause of Advanced Optics, so we could go into an engagement with 4 focuses, if we have the Rec Spec replacement.

Which was 100% clear already from the wording of the card alone...

Have you seen how many arguments are taking place on the forum based on what is said on the cards. Even when we think it is perfectly clear what the card says, I guarantee there is someone on here who says it means something totally different.

Man I just thought of something

The 2.0 defender looks really good, yeah?

Well, imagine how screwed they are when staring down a moldy palob (sounds like a euphemism...ew)

Dang thing could actually outjoust them if it could kturn, sporting TL + focus + pilfered evade

Okay there are lots of valid arguments, but in this case... why? It is crystal clear.

You gain a 3 front arc.

That’s what it says. And what it does.

It's beautiful. Truly beautiful.

Having my favorite ship in all of Star Wars in this game was a dream come true when it was first announced and my love of the game essentially collapsed into a passing interest upon the actual release. I was previously planning to focus on Imperials for 2.0, but if Rebel squads can run this and an X-Wing and whatever else effectively, I'm probably all in on Rebels.

Does this mean you are quitting X-Wing? I mean, can anyone else imagine five years of 2.0 on the forums where every FGD post is about how *** *** ******** ****** *** ***** **** Luke (gunner) is. I mean, five years of 1.0 with you incessantly complaining about turrets for nearly 30,000 posts (29,470 to be precise, almost ten times the amount of posts of many other prolific users) was already sufficient, I think.

Sounds like a compelling forum thread-as-blog format. Luke Gunner and the HWK. Luke Gunner vs Boba Fett. Imperial squad building in a Luke Gunner meta. How the Starviper got her groove back, and why Luke Gunner laughs at her two left feet. Which Luke Gunner are you? Take this quiz to find out!

...I'd read it.

If hes not a force user I wont really care. Whatever is best for gameplay and balance is best. Force could be to good? Kyle as a force user could target lock, rotate, and modify a focus each turn if he can clear stress?

Like Corran Horn, Kyle was cooler before he became yet another Jedi-wannabe wish fulfillment fantasy.

I personally hope he is not a Force user.

wasn't Corran spoiled in the unboxing? I seem to think he has no force.

Not to force the topic, but my force powers have never been in question.

For many ships I have been able to mentally store second edition info by remembering a list of changes from first edition. I've had trouble doing so with the HWK: it's just a different ship altogether, and one I am very excited to try out.

but he is still a force to be reckoned with

Kyle is being erased because his early story (Dark Forces) directly contradicts the Disney canon of Rogue One.

Although I personally liked him better in JK2/JA.

Noooooooooo! This is impossible!!! Aehm... I mean... do we have any sources that he will be erased from the game?

Quite the opposite: we have Jan Ors as a 100% confirmed HWK pilot. I'd be astonished if she stayed and Kyle didn't.
