Bleh, who cared about this thing, I want my U-55 baby GR-75. That cute little thing would get me into the resistance for sure!

Please, no.

Unfortunately, it's probably one of the only options on the Resistance menu for Epic. (It's like the size of the Ghost, right?)

The U-55 orbital loadlifter is 22.5m long. VCX-100s are just a little under double that at 43.5m long. The U-55 would be a medium base at the largest.

My gosh, this faction is weird.

At least the Rebellion generally feels like a military force. Resistance is literally just a hodgepodge of leftover New Rep. tech.

And Old Republic. Was reading on the transport due out in Wave 4. The engines are from transports built before Palp came to power.

Ah yes with its beautiful 1 red forward and 0 firepower and 3 hull.

Well that's sort of the point isn't it? They're literally a resistance. Insurgents. Asking why they didn't use Y-Wings or B-Wings instead of the MG-100 is like asking why Al-Qaeda doesn't just use Stinger Missiles instead of RPG-7s.

I think people forget the T-70 is three decades old.

The Resistance truly is just a pile of ragtag fighters.

๐Ÿคจ Taking into account current minimums for the stat line, I think the U-55 would be more along the lines of 2/1/3/1 with dual crew, the Quadrijet's dial minus the S-Loops and reverses, 2-K Turn and a red stop. Focus, Coordinate, Jam and Cloak for actions. Agility might be 2 base.

Yeah, I know I know. I'm just saying that it'd be pretty useless to include.

Maybe. "Useless" things have a funny way of becoming very useful at times. :)

I still would have preferred the Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship but hopefully that will still come later. I admit it makes more sense to release the ship that's already been seen in the fiction.

But this thing will be fun.

Won't the transport pod (if the mini separates) be smaller than an A-wing, or am I misreading that size?

I will get one, though i'll have a hard time giving up a place in a squad for it. We'll see when the more full reveal happens.

The OP's mention of Han/Poe being the only viable squad is confusing, as I've never even seen a resistance falcon played in 2.0, seeing many more combinations of T-70's, RZ2's and some bombers.

In my opinion it must be a medium and small base here and not 2 small bases.

Can we get the starspeeder 1000 in the game? ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's the ship from disneyland's "Star tours"

Medium base. 2 attack, 2 agility, 2 shields, 5 hull

Action bar is boost-->Red evade, evade, Calculate (all droid pilots), coordinate, and Jam

Ship ability: when you perform a calculate or coordinate action, aquire 1 calculate token

Dial has 1 banks and turns, all basic 2 template manuvers, red 3 hard, 3 straights and banks, and a 4 K-turn

Pilots:

C-3P0 Init. 2 (35 points)

His ability is the same as his rebel crew card

R2-D2 Init. 4 (40 points)

While you perform an attack, you may treat the range as being one higher or lower than it is

This is because, on the ride, R2 is able to Shoot a Naboo sea monster off the ship, even though it is gripping the ship in It's mouth. He also destroys multiple TIE fighters on the ride.

Star Tours Tour guide Init. 1 (33 points)
