I think we desperatly need Corvus Title and Inferno Squadron.

Her are what I have thinked .

Versatile independant Special Forces. 🙂

Sorry if the wording is not perfect.

Should we design other Inferno Squad members ?

Interesting. Bear in mind Iden's ability here doesn't matter against squads unless you have flight controllers (and why do that when she's rogue?) The Corvus seems plenty thematic, but leads to some questions about cost. Do you pay for the officer or the squadron? If not, getting an extra 15 points added to the squad cap is... very powerful, to say the least.

I've toyed around with ideas for Iden a few times myself.

Iden Versio

TIE Fighter Squadron

3 blue AA, 1 blue AS

While attacking a squadron with HEAVY, you may add one blue die to your attack pool.

brace/scatter

16 pts.

The reasoning being that she effectively killed Y-wings over Endor and it allows her to make use of Intel, which fits with special forces.

We do need Corvus!!!

Don't you have the feeling, that this squadron is a little bit overpowered?

15 points for: Rogue, Grit, Scatter, Brace? Combined with 3 black Dice against squadrons?

But i like the combination of a TIE fighter that just abond all TIE Fighter bonis (Howlrunner and Sloane). That is fitting for Inferno Squadron.
But the effect is more or less pointless. Against squadrons it has no use at all, and against ships you could as well change the blue die to a black one, and you will have the same effect (75% chance on a hit).

Yeah, I would make the anti-ship a black die, and make her ability something like “when attacking a squadron, crit results add 1 to your damage” or something like that.

Also, increase that price. And to make everything fair, add the final price of her squadron (minus the cost of the crew upgrade) to the Corvus title. That way there is no question about what you pay for.

I love the idea of having her as an officer, a raid token and a squadron, and the Corvus title making all of those options I the same battle.

Well done.

Hi

Thanks a lot for the feed back.

yep... I see my mistake with the dice. I have to change the Black dice to blue dice against the squadron.

Yes, you have to pay for officer AND the squadron, it is the price of the versatility. You should have an officer very interresting for your raider and the opportunity to pop up a squadron during the game.

How I should word that ?

BTW, I would like extend the deployment of the squadron to distance 4. It is better to show a surprise scramble.

Yes... I'll move to blue dice against squadron. 🙂

how much should it cost?

If you compare her to these, i would say 18-20 points at least.
It should be even more, when you compare her to any of the unique rogues with effect. But a unique TIE Fighter, even with rogue, for more than 20 points will be just too much.
Sadly the rogue would make her this expensive.

I have revised the cards. I put them on the top of the topic.

I have raised of the squadron 's cost to 18.

Thanks 🙂
