My money is that when some new toys get added in an imperial expansion that they won't be faction locked.

Before new Scum content since Imps are getting stuff in Wave IV...

Nothing new though.

We didn't get anything new for wave 1, or wave 2, or wave 3, or wave 4. Scum (the largest faction) got a new falcon in wave 1, and a tie fighter in wave 2 (STOP GIVING AWAY OUR SHIPS FFG).

BBs cannot appear before they were first made, and Battle Meditation seems to be an advanced Force ability some boy from Tatooine or an Alderaanian princess might not be able to work out on their own.
But R4s? These should be available in every scrapyard in the Galaxy, just next to the spare part containers

Wouldn't surprise me if the Jedi Starfighters that survived the war and Order 66 were all scrapped by the empire and/or put into deep storage. It's not like there were mass produced for the GAR as a whole.

Rebel gunboat with Sabine in the cockpit, coming right up!

New toys? I suspect at this point the only thing that old Imperial players have to look forward for new upgrades, pilots, etc, is the Tie Brute from Solo and Squadron Packs.

Don't even say that in jest!
Back on topic, anyone figured out how Dedicated is going to work with those 2-pip N-1 pilots? You remove a Strain token after performing a blue maneuver or defending and the N-1's have some interesting blue maneuvers.

How do you mean?
They can equip it fine, assuming they have the slot, but they're Limited, so they won't be able to benefit from it.

Dedicated won't work on them since they are limited.

I could see them getting Auto-Blasters before Rebels if the TIE Brute comes out Wave 5. That'll be an interesting announcement week to say the least.

Still better off than Rebels. Nothing new in the main waves, but Imperials at least had an actually-new ship in wave 0.5 in the Reaper. Rebels just got rehashes of existing ships with the Saw's release.

Have to wonder with the timing of things if they won't try to save Wave 5's announcement for May 4th.

They could do it on the 3rd and still qualify more or less since May 4th is a Sat.

Lol, good point.... 😕

It would actually be the opposite. Multi pip names are limited, meaning they couldn't take dedicated as an upgrade, but a generic pilot with that talent could provide its benefits to the multi pip pilots because they fulfill the requirements layed out in the card.
Edited by Hippie MoosenYeah I super derped on the whole reading thing there.
I have a feeling battle meditation is going to be very pricEy to equip to a I5+.
What's strain do again?
4 hours ago, AgentoftheEmpire said:Huh? What are you babbling on about? How am I trolling? None of the Inquisitors we have met have an established ability of battle mediation. So......not sure what your getting at.....
I assume he means if random Jedi who aren't known to use BM can equip it why shouldn't random Inquisitors who aren't know to use BM be able to equip it. Makes sense to me.

Probably, but I suspect it just counts as a debris field after launch anyway, so it could be a different card that also drops spare parts but a different way.

When a ship is strained it rolls 1 less defense die. Strain clears after the strained ship is either attacked or performs a blue maneuver.

Will strain apply to other waves as well? Seems to be interesting.
It will come up a lot this wave and occasionally in future if previous new mechanics are anything to go by.
