X-Wings Daredevil?

By SpiderMana, in X-Wing Squad Builder

Somebody in a Facebook group was fairly adamant that you couldn’t run Daredevil on a T-65 because the S-Foils’ Boost wasn’t added until setup or something like that. But the app will let you do it, at least if you attach the S-Foils card closed. Is this just a bug or can anyone confirm/deny rulings so far as to this not working?

The app lets you.

That's the closest thing to officially we have.

I would say yes.

Like I told him on FB, it’s hard to say the app is wrong ?

I've been finding it rather easy to say the app is wrong. ?

the web app doesn't seem to have that option, adding Daredevil to a T-65

In first edition that would be correct that you couldn't add something like Daredevil on a T-65. At the time of squad-building S-foils don't give either boost or barrel roll to the x-wing in question so that upgrades that require boost or barrel roll are not legal. The x-wing doesn't get the new action until setup and one of the sides of s-foils is chosen.

We have no such clarification for 2nd Edition. The web based builder allows you to equip either side of S-foils to the T-65. One side allows the addition of Daredevil. The either does not allow the addition.

Done using the web app, you have to add the servomotors closed first to give it boost.

That is interesting. If you include S-foils open it doesn't give you the option. If you include S-foils closed it does. Clever that.

Let's face it, if you're not building your X-Wings with s-foils closed as standard so you can flip them turn one and say "Lock s-foils in attack position!", then you're doing it wrong.
