Poe looks offended that he even had to lay eyes on them.

I just want to meet the guy who built the AT-STIE. Even the other junkers must think he’s nuts.

"Jim?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm afraid we've run out of cockpits."

"Don't worry - I have a plan."

"....No, Jim."

That AT-ST TIE is hilarious!

As I pointed out in another thread, Kylo at I5 is in a very similar place to where he was at 1.0 since he was 9 and there were 10s and 11s our there.

Fair point considering he almost always had push the limit! Hopefully he has a powerful pilot ability to make up for it, wasn't a fan of his old one in the silencer.

If Kylo is only i5 that is pretty stupid.

If only the force allowed you to Heighten your Perception..

That doesn't help you when trying to out manoeuvre I6 pilots, but yeah others have had better arguments that make more sense. Won't be too different than what we have now will hopefully have a better pilot ability.

Going from what was stated in Rebels, because they altered the panels, they handled differently and were under powered compared to the stock Imperial TIE Fighters. While I don't see FFG reducing it from a 2 Attack, I can see them altering the dials so these TIEs don't have anything faster than a 3 straight and an extra red basic maneuver (Red hard 3 turns for example) If their ship ability not been already shown, my guess would have been for these to treat any critical rolls as regular hits to represent their weaker power.

Ship ability is seen in the screen caps taken from Gold Squad's coverage as well as stated on stage. They ignore asteroids while moving.

Well we don't have the Light Scyk anymore so it's probably a good fit for that hole.

Plus it would probably play well with some Quadjumpers.

I wonder how different from a standard tie it will be. Less hull? Less agility? Altered dial?

Yeah, but that was was hole that was originally filled by the z-95.

Edit: double post. Nothing to see here.

I feel the Mg Tie will be a good blocker. The Light Scyk could BR. The Z couldn't, and while it now can it's red.

Especially with their ability to ignore asteroids they can move through the table like no other, (unless the ship in question has collision detector).

Hopefully it's cheap like the Spacetug

Perhaps, but that’s still a role filled by Z-95s without pulling TIEs into it.

and considering that special ability, it will probably be lucky to be priced like the tugboat.

Indeed. If they're reasonably priced, I find myself fielding a hazard-striped swarm to the cry of "oh, no you don't, Rendar!!!!".

Kylo being the same as Luke/Corran makes way more sense anyway and as others have mentioned above he will be in the same position meta wise with a few things moving after him but with a nice bid he'll go after everything else. I'm sure the silencer will be super fun still

Dear lord I think I nearly died of laughter there.

I kinda want to see a AT-AT tie now.

Welp, I died of laughter. Just a force ghost passing through. I hope everyone enjoys 2.0 and May the Force be with you all.

Long live the AT-ATIE!

I'll be waiting to add it to my Scum fleet, FFG. Wave 3? I bet you can make that happen. I dare you.

Holy crap, it just gets funnier the longer you look at it.

That AT-ATIE definitely has cannons.
