I'm really liking this ship!

It's gonna be a fun one for sure. I want to do the stupid thing and try to fly Anakin in it with SNR, so I can have the dumbest ace ever.

Though I'm most looking forward to seeing what our first Astromech pilot can do. R2 and 3PO just sound really interesting.

I just noticed the "something Reflexes" that says "cannot perform another .... your activation"

Supernatural getting rotated out and/or fixed?

Add in a force sensitive crew/gunner like the one in the spread to get a 4 force Anakin...that's a fun sounding Y-Wing

Different card art though. I'd hope a more affordable version of the same with less utility and less insanity. Possibly a post-movement reposition at the cost of a health?

That word you can read looks a lot like "Tano"

Yes, almost certainly an Ahsoka gunner

It’s been interesting comparing it with its Rebel/Scum counterpart. The downgrade on the dial hurts, but R4 is cheap.

What really has me intrigued is the C-3PO card in the stack. Are we looking at a 3PO gunner or (seems more likely) a config that puts in a crew slot?

Doesn't even need a config, there is an I2 limited pilot that only has the pip showing. If that is R2-D2 (who from what I understand did fly one with 3PO as a passenger) that pilot specifically can have a crew slot instead of an astromech slot with the way the current slot system functions (IE Leebo)

That would actually be really cool. I like the idea of unorthodox pilots like that.

Yeah I'm really digging that theory. Still want R2-D2 as a mech, who knows if they're saving him for the Actis or he might be hidden in the N1 or Y-Wing, too... Hard to say.

...And now I'm picturing R2-D2 chauffeuring Palps around in a Y-Wing 😂

This is a bit terrifying... On an out of game concept level, not the actual combination of the two ability sets as it would work in game.

R2-D2 is one of the pilots, we have his card art from the website's banner.

In Clone Wars, the only time we really see a green Y-Wing was in the episode Nomad Droids where R2 was flying the ship, with the art for his card being a direct reference to that episode. So, with that in mind they will likely have that ship lose its astromech slot, since R2 is piloting from there, and instead give you a crew slot instead. Should allow for some fun combos, though the lack of R4 will make it so R2 doesn't want to get stressed.

We do know from his text that he has a start of the engagement phase ability, and it seems to say he gets 1 for something. Maybe he gets 1 calculate token if there is an enemy ship in his front/mobile arc, or maybe he gets 1 for each ship at range 1. I'm suspecting it will be the former rather than the latter.

He won't be on the N1, you get 2 astromechs in that spread with one being known which is R2-C4 and the other is in the spread but is a repurposing of the art of R2-D6 from 1st edition likely for R2-A6 which was the astromech on Ric Ollie's ship, who happens to be the highest int ace in the N1 pack. As for the Y-Wing we get one astromech which happens to be C1-10P aka Chopper from Rebels, since in his backstory he was a clone wars astromech on a Y-Wing that went down on Ryloth before Hera found him.

My guess is that R2 is being saved for the Eta-2 considering the other notable astromech on that ship was R4-P17 who has already been released. Though, with the rate we are getting Republic ships, and that we have gotten 3 versions of Anakin in a row, we will likely see him in Wave 6 or 7 since we have 2-3 more variants of Anakin likely to be added. Said variants being him piloting the Eta-2, the Twilight, and him as a crew card likely for the LAAT/i.

I didn’t notice him in the spread! 😱 😄

Still, how sure are we that we’ve seen all of the Astromech cards for each expac yet?

Was this supposed to be in the Painting forum?

Minor topic detour. We still have no word on the new black and white hexagonal tokens that show up in this and the Hyena Bomber preview, correct?

Because we can look at their spread and the product description. The N1 comes with 7 upgrade cards which are Daredevil, Collision Detector, Passive Sensors, Plasma Torpedo, R2-A6, R2-CR, and R2 Astromech. The BTL-B Y-Wing comes with 10 upgrade cards which are Snap Shot, a new Ordinance, Instinctive Reflexes (new force upgrade), Ion Turret, Republic C-3PO crew, Ahsoka Tano gunner, Chopper/C1-10P, Proton Bombs, Electro Proton Bomb, and a modification.

Both have the new device token as well so it could involve those.

On the one hand, I’m not sold on Anakin in a Y-Wing, his ability is soooo good on the Delta, but then again it makes R4 less mandatory for him.... I just don’t know.

R4 is likely highly advised for him. But he seems to have a slightly different ability as the text looks longer on the card as compared to his Delta 7 ability text. Maybe now that he has a mobile arc he can trigger off of that too?

You're not flying him for his ability. Hes a ps6 proton torp carrier with 3 force.

where are you seeing the full names?

Many of the card names are partially covered.

Force chonk proton chucker. Yup. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Unless they did something crazy like removed the torpedo slot and added a device slot.

I think you got the wrong forum @Force Majeure !

maybe just create a new painting and modding thread since this one's already got a lot of other conversation in it?

I'm actually really looking forward to these, more options for things to fill out a Clone swarm
