Who hurt you?

I make a wish when I blow out birthday candles. I guess it must be from some latent childhood trauma, then.

Wow.

Usually I'm the guy advocating fluff because I love Star Wars. Now, I make one suggestion that FFG is missing the boat on a tiny design element for the game and immediately I'm a stick-in-the-mud crybaby.

Maybe you should check out my Willrow Hood thread, my Rouge Squadron thread, and my Moby ****-as-Purrgil threads if you think I'm too serious.

I've been trying desperately to get Poe/Tallie/L'ulo to work. I've won exactly one game in about six tries, and that one game was sloppy error fest.

Then I slashed off all but the essential upgrades (Heroic/R4/Black One), ran Tallie/L'ulo with only Heroic and Crack, and added a Heroic/Crack Green. Enough room left over to squeeze some torps on Poe and leave a modest bid. Tallie and the Green burned down Quickdraw in two rounds while Poe and L'ulo took care of Kylo, leaving my opponent with just Null against all four of my ships.

Lesson 1: ships > upgrades

Lesson 2: the only thing better than a pair of A-wings is a trio of A-wings

Oh, I knew 99 point Poe was stupid, I just wanted to stack as many reposition gimmicks as I could in one turn. 😬 HLC was interesting on him, but just flying well with the primary is probably better, since you can push crits through.

I could definitely see myself picking up another couple RZ-2’s with Christmas money... if I don’t get a Switch and I want to prioritize that over Overwatch Legos 😜

I thought Prockets was a good idea for the A-Wings, but I didn’t have double mods because of a poor approach, so... yeah. Maybe better flying fixes that one.

Happy beeps... I don't get it? Just like a happy R2 sound?

It is the title of the article but I do believe they're implying the BB series equivalent to what the R series would beep out when happy.

God I hope you're not serious.

Yes, but more importantly it’s a quote. Poe tells BB-8 “happy beeps.”

(Edit: like “Think happy thoughts.”)

🤨 Must have slipped my notice. Where/when did he say that?

Thanks. I have no recollection of that at all though 😕

One of the first lines out of TLJ.

I’m pretty sure he says it in The Last Jedi? I watched it within the last couple months… I think when he’s approaching the dreadnaught, because he’s doing something objectively, dangerously stupid, he’s basically telling BB-8 to cheer up.

Well, I marked out like a geek when I saw that they'd given Jess the title The Great Destroyer.

I love it.
