Is Oicunn the best large base ship?

Optimised prototype required the ship to fire with primary weapon, in the front arc. I may be wrong, but with this wording, it look like all condition s are fulfilled for a Decimatorn ( it have a turret primary weapon)

We're just going to disagree on this until FFG states it more clearly.

As it is now, I don't think it is clear.

Seems pretty clear - the symbols are on the cards. A Deci has a bowtie turret, which isn't a forward arc only weapon. The card indicates a forward arc only primary. I believe they've been consistent with symbology at least.

Rules reference Page 4 "firing arc"

I read it again and again, there is no doubt. The (v) symbol mean front arc, if arc indicator of a primary weapon point towards the front arc, it becomes firing arc and the condition are fulfilled.

I think the confusion comes from the symbol, but the wording in the rules make me 95℅ sure it is so.

Almost sure, check the page 4

This has come up a few times already. FFG needs to clarify it. It is not clear or it would not have come up as often as I've seen it come up.

The Firing Arcs section on page 4 seems to indicate that turret arcs (with a turret arc indicator) use the same arc lines as a printed arc but are not the same arc. This is what allows Veteran Turret Gunner to work with a turret arc even if the ship has a primary forward arc weapon- it's not technically the same arc (they just sit on top of each other).

Why do you say that?

Second vote for scum han. It’s not difficult to throw 4 dice on offense or 3 green with regularity.

Combo with 000 for free mods, or stress control and more dice.

Yup, I don’t understand the hate towards Scum Han. That ship is ridiculously under costed.

I think the key would be to not go full in on obstruction, but diversify a little bit.

Dengar crew instead of Title to increase damage output even without obstruction.

Triple 0 is a must, Zuckuss could be a good fit too.

You can have all this with Trick Shot and Cargo chute for 71 points, which is crazy for INI 6 large ship with so much health, great dial and boost..

Scum Han relies on good flying, so I'm happy for him to be good. If FFG continue the practice of making "easy" things expensive (eg Force) and "hard" things (eg bullseye) cheap, then I'm stoked

Psssst, everything in second edition requires good flying

This is not Oicunn, but I'm quite thrilled that you can fit these 3 ships into one list (and can't wait to test it..).

Patrol Leader — VT-49 Decimator 80
Emperor Palpatine 13
Ship Total: 93
Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor 52
Predator 2
Ship Total: 54
"Whisper" — TIE Phantom 52
Trick Shot 1
Ship Total: 53

I'm really loving how they made all the non-Force Aces cheap and cost efficient..

Pocket Aces were my favourite thing in 1.0, and now we have so much more options!

I managed something like

Cheri

*Trickshot, Vader, tua

Kestal

*Barrage, ion turret, barrage rocket

Jonus

*Barrage Rocket

Seems worth trying
