Fang Preview is up!
DID NOT REALIZE THAT YOU COULD AFTERBURNER BOOST AFTER K TURNING.
Maybe now I can finally run a points efficient ship that fly's like Nien Numb with Pattern Analyzer lol.

WHat did you think 'even whilst stressed' meant? There are VERY few ways to get stressed in 2e thus far other than red moves.
E: are Afterburners in the conversion kits? I've not seen them in the prviews, but I thought that all the upgrades from wave 1 were in the conv kits... Afterburners are AMAZING and I'd be disappointed if they're only in the one pack at this point.
Edited by thespaceinvaderYup, its a fang. Almost unchanged compared to 1.e other than verbiage change to conform to new terms.

I suppose I was imagining that you could do some action chaining shenanigans, but now that I have actually read the card I see that it makes perfect sense for k-turn boost (or run away while stressed boost)

I thought they were in the conversion kits; I'm sure I've sene them mentioned in conjunction with A-Wings/Interceptors, anyway.
*yawn*
Give us the TIE/rb

They’re in the core set.

THis I know. I'm expecting to want multiples and I really don't need a third Fang, especially when I already have 3 dials.
So the article has two different paint schemes..............interesting.........

I'm sure the old model is being used for one of the pictures. Their mistake I guess. That and missignthe opportunity it to give Kadcyla Solus's graphic to Joy Rekoff.
Quadjumper with Afterburners... execute a red reverse maneuver then boost forward for the win!
Is it just me and my dyslexia (spell check...check) kicking in or is "Joy Rekkoff" going to be called J.Erkkoff forever more.

You need to do a 3 speed or faster maneuver for afterburners.

But it's a different paint job. And the wings rotate!

When JRekkoff rubs out a torpedo charge, her target becomes distracted, reducing their ability to defend.
This suggests to me that scum will likely not be getting mods to recharge/ increase charges of torpedoes, or at least they won't be equippable on the fang.

Threat card for Fenn Rau shows two modifications. So there is that.

Congratulations for spotting the mistake in the article!

Well now it is.

I just went through the BoLS unboxing videos and no Afterburners in any of the conversion kits. And only one copy in Core.
They are not even in the baggie of "extras" in the scum kit that includes cards from the Slave I and Fang packs not otherwise included in the conversion kit. I guess with the justification that its in Core. Though it means the article is less than honest when it says "All of the ship and upgrade cards included in the Fang Fighter Expansion Pack can also be found in the Scum and Villainy Conversion Kit. "
And based on that precedent if the card comes with a ship in a future wave, like the A-Wing or Tie Interceptor, it won't be in the associated "card only" pack. You'll need to buy the ship to get it.

This makes me sad. I hope you are wrong. Its a great card for aces. Especially vader.
Nothing new here. Move along.

It's even funnier because it's a she!

The coolest ship in all X-Wing, for me. 2 of them are a given and I suspect I'll buy even more later...

So minor thing, but the threat card lists Fenn with a few upgrades at 3 and Kad at 2. If A 200 point squad is roughly the equivalent of 8 threat, this means we should have some pretty good squads with 3 named Fangs right? Or am I perhaps overestimating their survivability based on 1.0 token stacking?
Doesn’t show the wings rotating tho.

Not really. On paper, the old Fang was probably better.
1) The new Concordia Faceoff is substantially weaker than the old title. It only lets you change a die, where the old title let you add an Evade outright. Not a huge loss of efficiency (it'll only be weaker in situations where you roll all paint and have a focus token in hand), but it's there.
2) A bigger concern is that it only works if you are in the attacker's forward firing arc. The old title would work against mobile and auxiliary arcs, which are much more common.
3) On that note, the loss of Autothrusters will hurt the Fang against turreted ships and when defending at range 3.
