Supernatural Reflexes looks super fun!

I disagree

Night Beast seems good. Valen in a normal TIE? Hmm. Upgraded ability though.

Elusive is interesting. I'm curious to see how often it will be used, and what ships will use it best.

I love the idea of a competitively-priced Outmaneuver. The art on Sense is one of my favorite parts of Rebels.

I get a 404 trying to use this link

EDIT: Alright, found a working link on Reddit. Very interesting. Force definitely seems to be the area where you previously just "did" stuff now you spend the token. Since force crew only seem to add tokens and not Force Talent slots, that makes native force pilots very valuable.

Heightened Perception looks very good on Luke, always shoot first and regen the force anyway if they shoot back.

EDIT It bothers me that R2 & R2D2 do the same thing but their text is arranged differently.

Reminds me of early Gwent, where "remove x strength from 1 enemy unit", "choose a unit on the opposite side of the board and remove x from its strength" and "remove x strength from any opposing unit" would all be describing the exact same effect printed on different cards.

With 3 force I think Vader might be good with Supernatural Reflexes as he can do all of his actions before he moves, force tokens permitting.

True, but using up all of the Force he has might not be the best tactical choice...

Thanks guys, no idea why copy and paste was not working for me....

But the links work.

Heighted perception on generic inquisitor missile ships....

Those force powers are all very very good.

Also a little scared that R2 and R2-D2 are worded differently... i mean its clear both ways how it works but why would they be worded differently? i thought FFG was trying to introduce continuity in there wording.

When you have something 100% identical and yet its worded differently? How FFG?

Same for the R5's..... really upset.

It's not working for FFG, so no one can have it!

Very excited to see the costing on the app, gonna frame so much of this but they look like great fun thus far

These are all core set?

Hot **** that's a crapton more content than the rather piddly options of the 1.0 ones

Here's what strikes me: force powers do interesting things, but as far as straight up numbers and dice manipulation go, Predator or Outmaneuver do more. This makes sense. Force points can be spent as mini-focus, so it's good that Vader or Luke doesn't get Predator.

I'm loving the new R3 Astromech, which is the old Weapons Engineer. Getting bonus actions is nice, and TLs won't go away. Seems like it'll be super good on an E-Wing, if they can take a droid.

Looks good force powers could be too good if the price isn't high enough.

Porkins is in the core set? He's canon and all, but not the pilot I would have thought would make the core set.

Ol' Biggs was the logical choice before, still is.

Has it been confirmed that Force users don't get Talent upgrades? I know they mentioned that particular difference when talking about Inquisitors vs. Barons of the Empire, but do you think that will extend to all Force aces vs. Non-Force aces?

Yeah that's a little confusing. Good that Darklighter still comes in the expansion, though. I guess Jek is recognizable enough.

yeah, I was kinda hoping...literally any other X-wing pilot had made it in there other than Jek

or just a different ability

Is peculiar that they didn't just slot in Biggs, but eh. Biggs' ability is technically utterly worthless if you only have 1 X-wing (core set games), Jek's isn't.
