You’re thinking of Mara.

Luminara is Canon clone wars era Jedi.

Not Mara. There is a character named Lumiya.

As to why Rebels are missing a ship...I have no idea. But do keep in mind that Rebels got extra X-wing pilots in Saw's Renegades, in addition to new U-wing pilots, while the Empire got only the Reaper pilots. From that point of view, releasing the TIE striker makes a lot of sense.

Kinda lame, but I'll take it.

...sinker? More like STINKER!! (Can't be in your own arc)

Eh, I'm sure he'll be okay. Certainly leagues above Garven ?

It definitely is better than Garven, and if you fly multiples you can just fly them in formation.

If you look at the pilot cards for the Jedi Starfighter it has a purple Evade action. Wonder if you can spend a force token to activate the action?

That or lets you spend a force to get the action as a free action though if that is true with its ship ability to perform a boost or barrel roll after fully executing a maneuver for a force charge it might be a little too crazy.

Great but....is the Rebellion faction now officially dead? I see plenty of new generic missiles, force upgrades etc. I thought FFG announced you wouldn't need to buy across factions any more. Looks like I'll have to hit ebay again when this lot comes out.

I'm guessing that they will get something in Wave 4 since the Imps are getting the Striker this wave. Though I'm a little surprised I'd have thought they'd try to push the Tie Brute out this wave since we are just getting further and further away from Solo.

Probably you *need* to spend a force token to use that action. The Sheev twins both add a purple coordinate (along their ability and Force token).

It would be interesting/STRONG if it was a free action though spending a force to perform the action makes sense too.

...wait, is that mother loving PALPATINE!?!?

can I get that glorious meme machine on my glorious albatross...es?

Can I get THE sith Lord to man the rear gun turret while gleefly shouting over the roar of blaster fire "I AM THE SENATE!!!!!"?

...**** me, I'm broke as **** and trying to get a tutoring job and now THE DREAM comes sauntering along

What is a poor, weak willed mortal to do :(?

I wonder if the Sidious crew can be used by the Separatists or Empire too, but I suspect it will require either no Jedi in the list or that the only Jedi is Anakin.

The Delta-7B Config card is mad.

Is there anyone here who wouldn't just staple it to the ship regardless of the cost? +1 attack and +2 shield is so worth -1 agility. Like, all day erry day.

Depends entirely on cost and how many of the Delta 7s you can put into a list without it, and the cost of the other configuration.

I assume/hope the individual ship packs for the Vulture and Aethersprite will have different cards.

They certainly seem to aside from generics. I do wonder if the Republic starter pack comes with 2 more generics or if they are 2 low int pilot options.

What are the red tokens in the ARC-170 spread, just above the ion, stress, and crit tokens? Kind of looks like maybe a diagonal arrow on them?

They're also in the Republic pack spread, above the ion and crit tokens.

Also in the Sith Infiltrator spread and Seperatists faction pack spread.

So excited to see the mini-starter squadron packs!

Be right back - need to go apply for a loan so I can afford to get everything at launch.

Anyone able to get zoomed in images or use their elf eyes to read the tiny text? There's content there to be consumed!

A few of them have been written out in the thread. The stuff in the back (pilots) will be difficult, though.

So far FFG as said they would release all universal upgrades in all factions, but never said it would be in the same wave.

If an upgrade cannot be obtained within a faction's ships without the assistance of time travel, then the upgrade is not available in-faction.

A false statement is not made true by saying "well it might become true at some unspecified point in the future".

No multi-ship bases! WHOOT!!! These look like fun, especially Vulture's + config.

Can anyone make out many of the generic upgrades?

I think FFG answered a question poorly and in a way that they thought made sense at the time without considering the full implications of the answer.

Ok, next on topic of energy shell charges, barrage missiles done right, would be broken as **** if not the limitation of platform, as you can get calculate in so many ways it basically reloads every turn.

Yeah, personally not going to try on any of the pilots. Might bother on the half-covered upgrades to see what can be deciphered, but not until later.

Bit of a wild theory here, but if vultures end up being as cheap as I think they'll be this may be THE card of the wave

Granted it's just a crappy Barrage Rockets, but it might go nuts given the cost of the ship and the crit effect

I'm certain that you'll have to spend a Force token to activate the action. It's probably a way to keep it balanced, especially in light of Brilliant Evasion. Otherwise, it'd be pretty easy to combo the Evade token with Force spending to generate 1.0-levels of guaranteed evade results.

No, that's Lumiya.

Luminara Unduli was a Jedi who debuted in AotC and featured in several Clone Wars episodes.

I'm also pretty sure we're looking at Luminara there. The other pilot looks like her padawan, Barriss Offee, so it makes thematic sense.

Isn't Luminara from Legends  ?

I believe it is Luminara Unduli, Master to Barriss Offee.

Oh boy, having seen "Sinker" and making a joke of him being a "Stinker" is just going to lend itself to too many "rear firing arc" jokes ?

All I can get

Strengthened Synchronized Console:

After you perform an attack, you may choose a friendly ship at range 1 or a friendly ship with the Synchronized Console upgrade at range 1-3 and spend a lock you have on the defender. If you do, the friendly ship you chose may acquire a lock on the defender.

Especially with Kraken crew letting them save a calc and go into combat with essentially 2 calcs or a lock and calc

If every faction could have one that would be nice.

The only thing about Squadron packs though is they have a ship that isn't its own expansion.

FFG was very clear in their answer that upgrades may not be available simultaneously. They can’t be held responsible for people misrepresenting their answer on the internet.

Initial pass yes. Takes an action to reload it, so like every other single charge munition it is every other turn at best.

Wait, Where is the force on the Sith Infiltrators?

Another question, can you build tourney legal list out of single starter box, or is extra ships needed?
