Dang it FFG, why you no have maneuvers in your squad builder?

The desktop version does now have maneuvers. Haven't tried the app yet.

Yep. CLT is 4 for JK, 10 for Ani

Yes!

scale is

7b- ?/?/15/16/17/18

Calibrated Laser targeting

?/?/4/6/8/10

So the math works that you can take any 3 Jedi with the 7b config, as long as you don’t take Anakin. Obi Wan, Plo, and Ahsoka is the most expensive trio otherwise and is exactly 200

One other interesting thing, the Jedi Knight is 39. One more than the Inquisitor. That purely has to be because of the presence of the configurations, doesn’t it? Because they are very similar in stat line and actions (the v1 slightly better on both due to non purple evade and better shield ratio). And they lose access to FCS.

Interesting. I’m thinking that there won’t be much generic play on these.

I stand corrected!

It's right there next to the individual ship's points value.They look strange, but they're there!

Here's the Sith Infliltrator as an example:

Maneuvers

----------------------

I should add that you have to click on the Maneuver icon to get them to show up.

Don’t see it in the iOS app.

Maybe it's the desktop only. :(

JK7B/JK7B/JK/Ahsoka comes in at 194. Maybe Sense on the JK?

I'm kinda depressed that Brilliant Evasion seems priced into oblivion. 6 points on an Aethersprite, 4 on a T-65... I was hoping it'd be a decent cheap option, perhaps literally half it's current cost.

Yeah I was thinking 2pts, making it "ok" for 3agi :blink:

R4-P is generic and not limited to small base! ARCs can get in on the maneuver fun! ❤️
