Funny you should reply. The thing I got

  • looks like it should cost about $5 even if it worked
  • it doesn't work
  • they charge $10 for shipping USPS in a padded envelope (not even express shipping), making the cost $30

Also Funagain's website says all sales on this item are final. Feels like I may have got scammed.

well, that sucks.

Oh no...does it say "On Target" on the side of the laser? (faint red lettering)

Yeah. It look like in the pic on funagain's website but says On Target in red on the other side.

I email and they quickly refunded me and told me to keep the thing. That's cool, but at the same time, can't help but suspect they knew they were sending out a poor quality / nonfunctional product, as their handling fo the refund did not reflect their store policy at all.

Also, if you look at the 2 reviews on the amazon website you linked it looks super sketch.

I've got an extra one...want me to send it to you?

Ps4 Unique Hyena: You may perform primary attacks beyond range 3. while you do, the defender rolls an additional defense die. After you perform an attack beyond range 3, suffer 1 damage. ï»ż

DBS-404 : PS4

You can perform primary attack at range 0. If you attack at range 0 - 1 you must roll one additional dice. After the attack hit, suffer 1 critical damage.

So no attack beyond range 3 ! ;)

Another One :

Passive sensor : System :

Action : Spend one charge. You only can only perform this action during the "Perform Action step"

If your charge is inactif you can't be coordonate

Before you engage, if your charge is inactif, you may perform a calculate or target lock action.

Yes ! Picture from the french FFG and I roughly translate for the cause. ;)

And yet you won't share the link? Lol

Polish and French sites spoiling stuff! Lol. Any other spoilers?

Links : Picture in french only the Hyena is the good one :

The latter half isn't primary only?

So I can have 6 dice APTs?

From my understanding, seems like these are two different effects.

-You can perform primary attacks at range 0.

- You must roll one more dice at range 0-1 but you take a crit if the attack hits.

Ric Olie is visible there too, and it IS 'when you defend or make a primary attack if the speed of your manoeuvre this round is higher that that of the other ship, roll 1 extra die. ZOOM ZOOM.

****, that's going to be nice on low init missile and torpedo carriers. Can't wait to see the point cost.

That just made disengaging to activate an R2 a little more appealing.

This is really interesting as it basically says to spend your action to delay a lock or calculate action until you engage. On top of that, you can't be coordinated if you've used the Passive Sensor action so there's a bit or correct usage for order of operations if you can coordinate. It's not faction locked either.

The thing that sticks out so far is Separatist squads with Kraken in it to help save the calculate in case it's necessary for defense on top of networked calculations from other "escort" vultures for the ordinance carriers whether their Hyenas or equipped Vultures. Beyond that, Vader might really like this for opposing i6 ships that move after him since he can use his ability off of it anyway and get coordinated beforehand. There's likely more usage in the future, but those are the 2 that stand out the most.

BTW, are the pics linked above not loading for anyone else? I'm curious about the Transport.

What I don't understand is how the hyena bombers have access to the barrage rocket with no focus action. What kind of shenaniganery is gonna give them the token ?

Probably the new Tactical Relay that comes with them.

It's fine for me. But nothing to see actually. Most of the text is hidden.

[One charge; regenerates each round.]

Nice for generic Punishers!

Also for Redline: take the Passive Sensors action, acquire a Lock, then on engagement take a Calculate action and get another Lock. Could be fun with Cluster Missiles.

Yes, my immediate thought was punishers too. That and generic Gunboats, and most importantly to me THE X1!

Now it doesn’t solve their issue with action economy, but Storm Squadrons now have a prayer of a usable attack mod.

Vader+Passive Sensor+Hate? ALL the actions!

Its neat because it doesn’t waste the action if you don’t end up in a good spot for the TL, but it guarantees you get your lock on a target of your choice and will actually be extremely powerful on low initiative ordnance carriers. Probably gonna cost similarly to Traj Sym, for that level of power.

People have been asking for delayed locking, we’ll see how much they complain about it in a few months 😂

The card art for passive sensors is a TIE/sf, though? That seems odd, for a card most useful for Hyenas (if only because they already have calculate, so they don’t risk downgrading their focus).

Photos work for me. You’re not missing much. We know there’s an init 4 unique pilot, but not what the ability is. Looks like “when you defend or perform an attack ....” but that’s just me guessing comparing to other cards with known values. The others are too obscured to know a pilot initiative or anything helpful about what they do. The upgrades shown are composure and expert handling.

Looks a heck of a lot like R2-D2 is coming with the N-1, so we won’t see him in wave 3 I guess.

Even better than that, if the translation is accurate then Vader can proc his ability off it before he engages - do the TL action, then barrel roll in the engagement phase - out of the arc of the I6 that moved after him.
