The only time Rey should do that is if it's to setup a good shot against the Sloane carrier. Else she's just hurting herself in the long run.

Or needs to get Finn working/her force mods to get any good shots.

Plus even more than regular turret ships in 2.0, she's really susceptible to arc-dodging. Needs to point the bowtie forward/aft to get any of her tricks going, means her flanks are more vulnerable than 1.0.

Reading Rey's ability, does it mean she can change two blanks if she spends two force? There doesn't appear to be a limitation.

Rey doesn’t really care about the turret rotation part of her title anyway. She wants to add Engine Upgrade to the title in order to Sloop, and then white Boost her front arc on target. Makes me wish she had Bistan Gunner available to double tap out of her front arc, although it’s probably for the best she doesn’t.

I’m not sure the Resistance Falcon will even get a mod slot. If it does and EU is to good on Rey they can always remove it later.

I'm not 100% sure. Focus and Evade specifically state "one or more" in the RRG. This only states "one." That's a solid question which could make her less scary depending on the answer.

I'd imagine she can do it twice, but it does require that she has you in her front arc.

Threepio is fascinating, as it clearly shows that other Resistance ships will be able to get Calculate. Also, pretty certain that the bomber is getting a gunner upgrade.

And we add Scavenged YT-1300 to Customized and Modified.

I’m looking forward to getting my three resistance bombers back on the mat.

So Rey could take Supernatural... maybe Engine Upgrade. Potentially powerful crew and gunner.... ****, throw some Prockets on there.

Chuck some Cybernetics in while you're at it, in case you fancy a triple sloop for some weird reason.

1 ship list anyone? :D

guesses as to what he will cost points wise?

has to be in the 25pt range is my guess.

Looks like Old Teroch is going to get the call up in my scum list.

Baze Malbus does something very similar in the Rebel faction for 8 points. Baze caps at 3 tokens and gives you a stress (Han can forego the stress with the old Falcon title), so I'd guess the card shouldn't cost more than 10-12 points.

Holy heck. Looking like "I ain't going out that easy" is the faction theme for the Resistance. Wow.

I hope three is still possible. Nothing about them right now indicates it would be only two possible... but who knows...

regarding the Rey question if she can do it twice, no she cannot due to the whole "once per opportunity rule"

It says when attacking/defending, you may spend 1 (one, singular) force to change 1 (one, singular) result to a hit/evade.

That is one instance, so one chance to spend 1 force for 1 die mod.

She can, however, still spend the other force for its usual effect.

Starting to lose faith that 2.0 was a fresh start when i see Finn doing the same thing he did in 1.0 and Rey's Falcon being able to turn the turret even when double stressed

theres no expertise, no kanan. she has half her tricks and still needs to be in the right position to use them.

in a sense, the falcon's ability to basically always be stressed is kinda negative.

Theres some pretty mean abilities that want YOU to be stressed (Lando's falcon or Sloane for example).

According to official tourney rules, you cannot have 1 ship lists.

Old Falcon title is Rebel only, no?

Rose is...is...incredible. My blank green dice results can become target locks? Are you f'in kidding me?

@ficklegreendice Rejoice! Your savior is here

EDIT: She isnt even limited to once per round or even an arc. So Rey could fire, spend a lock to reroll dice, any blank results, get the lock back. Or, you got all hits and are now defending, you spend a blank green to get the lock back for next round. Its FCS for any crew carrier ship. You could even get a lock, kill a ship, then another ship attacks you and you get a lock on that new ship for next round. There is literally ZERO downside. You either evade or get a lock.

OMG, she even gives you locks when you are stressed and cant get focus tokens, so you just turn green blanks or eyeballs into locks. If she isnt 30pts, she is undercosted.

Also worth noting from this thread: Mines can explode instantly when placed on only one ship.

Where are you seeing this? I'm seeing nothing that specifies one-and-only-one ship.

Happy to serve! On the national FB page, we have been given this as an extra piece of intel about the bombers.

The Biggest issue is Rey might start at like 130. Paying that hefty Tax for Force just to start.....

You're right, which makes the Resistance Han crew that much worse.

That is insanely good. I doubt you'll be allowed to field 3 in a list if they have that. That's about as close to a 360 turret as any ship can get.
