I mean, I want to, but also, no way! I don't think we'll get an ARC or Aethersprite for less than 50 points, maybe the cheapest generic(?), but the force on the Jedi Knight will make it expensive no matter what.

Rebel Arcs currently range between 45-55 with no generics, it would make sense for the generic to be 43 or 44. Big cost question is still the Delta, can you get one for 50-ish points.

I don’t think the Delta will be nearly that expensive. I look at it and I see a more maneuverable M3-A with a force point. I expect no more than 41-43 for the generic pilot. Especially if you have to spend a force to Perform a purple action.

False? Or is it already the 28th where you're from?

Ibtisam is 50, Garven 51, Shara 53, and Norra 55.

I agree with 41-3 based on the precedent of generic Inquisitors (maybe add a few points for a neat-o ship ability and then remove those extra points on the basis of no native linked actions and a smaller faction pool to work with). IDK how expensive the "turn yourself into a fancy x-wing" config will cost, but I am sure that the ship will experience TIE X1 levels of cost increase based on initiative. For like Vader and his lock-dependencies, Anakin and his bullseye-dependencies would very much like to move last. That and 3 force adds a price tag.

Oops, you weren’t supposed to know that yet. gtg, someone’s knocking on the door.

The best first-guess at an Aethersprite price is the generic Jedi at about the same 40 points as a generic Inquisitor. Similar stat-lines, both have some access to extra actions. I wouldn't be surprised to see higher Jedi aces in the same price range as folks like Seventh Sister or The Grand Inquisitor. Now, TAP v1 is a ship a lot of folks think should go down in price, and the Aethersprite's ability is very powerful and very costly (thus very hard to estimate), so there's certainly some wiggle room. To note: I'm guessing the price of either of the configurations (Delta 7B, or Calibrated Laser Targeting) will be about fair, much like the SF Gunner is fairly priced.

Looking at ARCs, Garven's X-Wing is 4 points cheaper than his ARC, and there is a 6 point difference between an Init 2 generic and Garven. So around an implied 45/47 points for an Init 2 no-talent/Init 3 talent generic arc. Alternately, comparing to the TIE/SF might be illustrative. Backdraft with SFGunner is 51 points (same as Garven), but with an ability which looks like it's at a bit of a premium. Generic SFs are 44/46 for 2/3t versions.

I think a 44-46 for the Init 2 generic Republic arc makes sense. I'd expect it no lower than the TIE/SF and maybe a little higher, since while the SF has a better dial, the ARC has a standard rear arc rather than an awkward mobile jobby (and essentially has a 2nd gunner slot, in comparison), and the defensive statline of the ARC is a bit better. Sinker, I'd guess, has a slightly more premium pilot ability (group-buffs kinda seem like they do), so I'd guess 52-ish.

//

To that end, I could kinda see a Sinker/ARC/ARC/[baby Jedi like Ahsoka] working out. 46 for the generic arcs, 52 for Sinker, leaves 56 for an Ahsoka. That'd be, like, the equivalent of Sev with Hate and Fire Control System, and maybe a filler Talent on Sinker.

Remember to bring an industrial length marshmallow stick, to cook from a safe distance of the flames.

They'll probably be hot enough that I can wave the bag in front of the screen and it'll be ready in a micro sec.

Points will be posted either within the first hour or last of their business hours, is my guess. Maybe around lunchtime so they can read the comments while on break.

Or maybe they’ll post a fake/joke list around lunchtime so they can have some fun watching the explosion, then post the actual list later in the day when they’ve had a good laugh...

I’m salty that FFG took two weeks to preview the same one expansion, and now they’re probably not going to post anything else until Thursday at the earliest thanks to the points, probably not until the second week of February 😞

Sorry don’t have anywhere better to vent. 😅
