Mining Guild TIE

Overseer Yushyn - Friendly ships nearby can get stress instead of disarm.

Proach appears to give tractor tokens to enemies in bullseye.

Ship ability allows to move through asteroids (it appears to specifically say asteroids rather than all obstacles).

RZ2 A-Wing

Zari Bangel - Doesn't skip perform actions step when partially completing manuevers.

Can't make out Tallisan Lintra's ability personally.

Ship ability restricts turret to forward and backwards and also gives red boost after actions.

T70 X-Wing

Poe - spends a charge to perform a second white action, treating it as red.

Kare Kun - does something with turn manuevers instead of something else.

Resistance gets a card called Heroic, which I assume is their "faction identity EPT" like Ruthless, Selfless, etc.

G-**** it I need a poe now. A ptl for moves, that is hot.

So what on earth is the plan to keep ships count up in the other factions with the scum faction? They have Lando’s falcon, now the mining guild tie to add to their already very large collection.

They have to be done for awhile, right?

Granted, we don't know how many charges he gets.

I’ll lay money BB-8 gives charges or at least regens them.

The only white moves could make it suck though ? Have to see his dial before I go all Squeeeee!

“You can swivel as forward as possible, and as backwards as possible. There is no in between.”

Could be, yeah. I don't think it will be anything like his 1st edition text as 2nd edition astros seem to be focused on augmenting ships rather than giving them new crazy abilities.

so no new First order ship(s)? guess we'll have to wait for Resistance to air before we get to see those.

Only the FO TIE was announced but I haven't seen a spread for it.

EDIT: The spread WAS in the panel but I haven't found a screencap of it. Gold Squad's stream does not look to be watchable after the fact.

I think it's worth mentioning that the wording regarding what's in the FO and Resistance conversion kits was very specific. He specifically said that you won't need other packs for "neutral upgrades." I imagine that's what they've meant to say from the beginning.

First what ARE the factions? Republic and what?? A Sith infiltrator is cool but it was never even fighting in space. Is it CIS?

Second, Am I seeing two I5 pilots in the FO conversion pack? Kylo is I5?? Get out.

Between Clone Wars, this and the Armada SSD, I guess I'm buying a lot more FFG stuff. But man. I sure hope its good stuff and not awful stuff.

Armada first.

Super Star Destroyer. $200

I don't even play Armada (yet), and I want to pre-order it!

Oh! They just announced Wave 3 is going to be a dozen or so different Uglies!

...all for Scum, of course.

So:

Computer Engineer (digital) = Sith

Electrical Engineer (analog) = Jedi

?

Explains a lot about my college.

The SSD will be cool until the Rebel player realizes they can just sacrifice an A-Wing squadron to get rid of it.

I don't believe they stated TCW era faction names for either Legion or X-wing. Best guess is Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems because nothing else is close to sensible.

I don't think they are planning for each faction to have the same number of ships.

if its NOT CIS I won't be too happy.

Dark Sith thingiemabobers? Like. why did they use a Sith ship for the first image? And not a droid fighter.

Yeah, as long as each faction has at least a bit of variety and is competitive, does it really matter if the ship counts are equal? It's not like anyone's playing, "Field one of every single ship for your faction" as a game mode.

These may be the first ships the factions get or might have been the only art they had approved so far or might have just been the art they liked the most. Your speculation is as speculative as mine.

Poe's ability lets you do a white action as red, not a white move.

Hmm ok so just a normal ptl. Not near as thrilling.

Sith Infiltrator (Maul) and a red Aethersprite (Obi Won)... Seems fairly obvious to me.

SO GLAD I sold off my Armada stuff... That SSD would have killed me...

and now I'm going to need to figure out a new sorting system for my ships... not sure if I'll collect CIS and Republic factions. Converting and continuing the five factions I have now is gonna be costly enough... I don't really want a 6th and 7th!

This is all VERY awesome news

Looks to be Republic and CIS.

Now to wait feverishly for the reveal article to paw over less fuzzy pictures of half concealed cards!

Good stuff announced. A little bummed about the Mining Guild TIE being the Scum addition to the wave, but that’s the way it goes.

So now all we need is Poe's Stolen TIE, Republic TIE Prototype, and CIS Automated Stolen TIE Prototype and we'll have TIEs for everyone!

Ug. Well, at least if we get Poe’s stolen tie, we might get Shriv as a pilot. That could be worth it.
