Some interesting stuff, but nothing that makes me say “oh I gotta have that faction”.

For the folks who really like Awings, or the folks who really like TLJ, could be good for you though.

I liked the FO pilots we saw last week more personally, but that dial is really good....

Ferrosphere paint looks really good!

Interesting. It doesn’t have an extra shield like the other direct descendant frames.

I do like these pilots.

And sadly faction locked...

What the. My bookmarked “X-Wing News” page on my phone doesn’t show this yet.

Although it does give something unique to the Resistance

Should have named it "A-wing news", maybe.

Ferrosphere paint had better be expensive, as that is a crazy powerful ability.

edit: Also, Talli had better be cheap, as she has the worst ability of the set.

This seems very intriguing. Plus it's Talia so.... automatic pick up. With Talia's ability, Rey will see a lot of additional dice mods

There continues to be no tech upgrades Tugboats actually want to take

Jesus, Ferrosphere paint is Brutal.

I hope that's costed so that Primed Thrusters or the like is usually a better option outside of a specific need because otherwise it wrecks ordnance carriers.

Midnight is outright fuming at that, it's practically a hard counter.

Ten Numb and Braylen Stramm kinda like it, though...

It can be used on a few ships, but I think if it is too strong it might just lead to more people preferring Attack: Focus/Calculate attacks, so Barrage Rockets away I guess.

That’s a real paint use on B-2’s. Caused all kinds of health issues for the guys who worked with it. Odd choice by ffg.

Tallissan (Talia) Lintra (with Ferrosphere Paint) and Rey (with Finn/Rose) is very efficent.

Zari Bangel's quick-build includes an Outmaneuver talent that can never be triggered?

Outmaneuver works fine on Zari.

Heroic looks really powerful!

That could be way useful, if my dice rolls are any indication.

Nope, Outmanoeuvre doesn't work at all with a Turret arc. It's not a V primary.

Gah FFG come on

Rules Reference FAQ p23:

Quote

ARCS Q: Can ships that only use [turret] or[180 arc] attacks use effects that require the ship to perform a [front arc] attack? (i.e. Fearless, Outmaneuver)

A: No.

Can't use it on primary. I don't think it works on prockets either (a bullseye arc is not a [front] arc), but even if it does that's once per game

For everyone hating on Tallis ability, as an I5 she should be able to line up bullseye ok and it works on herself. Which means a 4 dice defense. That’s not too bad and people will overreact to avoiding her bullseye. I think she will be ok, and likely cheap.

i think this kit looks pretty fun.

Zari Bangel is easily the best pilot here, for my money.

What an incredible ability. If you bump someone you just bank boost, Gyrostabilize a red rotate backwards and you've cleared the opponent with a range 1 shot on them.

She's basically impossible to block.

Obviously she's held back by low initiative, but ****... she's going to be crazy fun. Primed Thrusters is probably going to stapled to her too.

Also, I'm picturing her with lots of neon, plastic jewellery and big 80s hair.

Impossible to block... with a small base.

But yeah, it's a very strong, very interesting ability.

Yup, doesn't work on the prockets either.

This is a really weird one. This isn't FFG giving a Quick Build ship an upgrade it can't normally equip, this is giving them one it literally cannot use by their own rules.

What on earth are they doing?

True, true.

Hype got the better of me and I hadn't really thought as far as large bases. Although bumping at an angle is probably more common than being straight on, and I think a lot of the time a bank to the correct side would be enough to get you past even a large base if there's enough of an angle.
