Holy ****, People Who Hated The Last Jedi, we ****ing GET IT. You DIDN'T LIKE IT. Can you please shut the **** up about it in a thread where we're trying to discuss a ****ing X-Wing expansion please?

So good to see others snapping about this after so long.

Because it has almost literally been an entire year, non stop.

It wouldn’t have come up, except for the most unliked character in the movie becoming one of the most powerful cards in the game.

They’re reacting to the said expansion, not to the movie.

Frankly, it smells all over of the Disney/LFL approval department requiring “their” trilogy have the stronger stuff to try and force folks down the path of the characters they created. And it does bother some of us from a gameplay perspective as well. (I had similar gripes when 1.0 Kylo crew turned up).

I won’t be buying anything for the Resistance. I will be converting my existing FO ships because I had a lot of fun with them in 1.0 (while in 1.0 it was literally just Poe... ).

You can officially never, ever complain about trigger warnings. Ever. Don't ever tell anybody their triggers mean nothing or are trivial in any way, ever. Because if you ever do, I want you to think about this moment in your life, where you got so upset over cardboard and plastic that you had to tell everybody on the forum how angry you were about a character you didn't like being represented well, and that Disney/LFL/FFG "Didn't get the memo" essentially that, "The entire fandom" hates Rose.

This is your hill that you want to fight on for some reason. So never trivialize anybody else's moments where they get unreasonable over what you perceive to be nothing.

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

Oh my God. That's fantastic. I've always wanted a reason to run the MG-100. Now I may have exactly that!

Chill out, man. This is an overreaction. Take a breath.

If that gets the gunner slot I'm going to be ticked.

I guess you’ll be ticked, because as Paige is a gunner in the bomber in the movie, it makes a lot of sense to give the ship a gunner slot. Also, skilled bombadier is the gunner slot, so there are at least two good reasons why the starfortress WILL have a gunner slot. That being said, I suspect that the ship will get a red rotate action to balance the near total coverage.

Based off what little we can see in the conversion set image it looks to have its old dial but not has red 3 turns instead of them being white.

The bomber's dial is on the left.

That dial is way too good.

Range 3 3/2 double tap... Better hope it doesn't get a talent slot as well, Trick Shot would up that to 4/3 at range 3. Not as bad as YT2400 + Han Gunner and Garnet, but not small peanuts.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it gets two. It has bombardiers and like 3 gunners. But I suspect we're looking at 60 odd points for the basic generic if the attack profile not3d above is to be believed.

You're a weird dude.

If anyone's coming across as 'triggered' here, it's you.

Any time anyone says a bad word about TLJ, you fly off the handle and tell them they're just stupid for 'not understanding it'. I've seen it several times.

Also, I wanted to point something out:

@ScummyRebel didn't say that.

They said that Rose is the most unliked character in TLJ.

That is just straight up true. Look on any discussion board and you'll see way more criticism of and complaints about Rose than any other character.

It doesn't matter if most of the general public were fine with the film and fine with Rose, she is still quite obviously the most disliked character.

I doubt two gunner slots. If I recall from the book, it had two gunners, 1 pilot, and 1 bombardier and 1 spotter/ops/mechanic. I suspect that it will have 1 gunner and 1 crew.

Two gunners would be crazy, but if these were say 80 points each, I could see it maybe.

I'm not sure why. Best it does is get you i7 with a 3 then 2 attack. It can't get you triple tap any more.

What are you seeing being so crazy about double gunner?

Though I'd agree gunner crew is more likely.

The only reason I doubt Gunner and Crew combo is that bombardiers are classified as gunners.

How would the Resistance Bomber get i7 shots, at least from what we have seen so far?

Derp rebel=/=resistance any more.

The point is who cares?

Because some people disliked her in the movies she needs to have a **** ability and suck in X-wing? how does that make any sense? That's what he is pointing out that a large part of the fanbase is moronic for lack of a better word.

"I did not like it, and my friends did not like it, so it should be either not in this game or crappy" is one of the stupidest arguments I have ever heard.

So the kid who liked rose in the movie should not see his/her favorite character (or see it be crap) because fanboys did not like her... right. morons.

While I can't speak for @Captain Lackwit , I think that the issue - and I agree with him if so, is that the vitriol has been said before, ad naseum at this point and has no merit in regards to the conversation about the card. Whether you love or hate the Last Jedi doesn't matter in this conversation at this point in time, because how the character acts and their story has very little relevance to the game mechanics. This thread is about the cards and game, not your feelings on the movie. There are, literally hundreds of, other places to discuss that, most notably the off-topic forum.

Bringing up that you hate the character in rant has no relevance to the game. It has no agenda from Disney, and her card ability could have just as easily been given to ANY character.

I mention the gunner and crew because the StarFortress, Cobalt Hammer, had a whole bookmavpit her crew which had Paige and Rose flying together. I see that being implemented. Also, in that book, the bombers didn't drop bombs only, sometime probedroids. They had other missions, and had a large enough crew to merrit the imclusion.

Ah, I didn’t know about that. Okay, that could make sense. They could also give the Resistance a crew along the lines of Sabine and Cad Bane to fill a more bombardier type role.

Well, it seems the YT-1300 is going to be quite popular in three different factions. There are some solid builds to be made here. Looking forward to fly the Resistance!

And because FFG just can't stop printing falcons, the republic will gain one based on the cameo in Revenge of the Sith. The falcon is to FFG what Skyrim is to Bethesda, lol

You knew this was coming. But on the bright side, weapons guidance (offensive sensor cluster) is coming back under the name of advanced optics. That will be more tactical, except on force users.

Jar-Jar wins that by a long shot. And TLJ is still lightyears better than Phantom Menace. Phantom Menace was so bad, that the light from TLJ will take 3.7 billion years to reach it.

Rose is so bad a character from every angle, she's a lowly mechanic, trying to be a everything from fanatical activist, to a warrior woman/leader and then a love interest for Finn which is like so pushed on us that it's nigh believable.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like she was a lowly farmboy trying to be an ace pilot, mystical Jedi warrior, a leader and a potential love interest for a Princess, right?

(Seriously, why on Earth did the Rebellion give Luke two wingmen in the Battle of Yavin and have _him_ lead an attack run, instead of making him a wingman to either Biggs or Wedge? Aside from plot necessity, of course).
