Oops that was a false call. You can take four plus 2 prockets.

Probably were remembering the pre-Phantom "nerf" when it was 4. They nearly doubled its cost instead of upping Phantoms...

Considering that this is a straight upgrade to the Tie V1 primary at ranges beyond 1 and that five Inquisitprs with this upgrade are possible, this sounds very interesting.

Does anyone have experience with that many bullseyes? Did anyone fly CLT jedi?

I flew Obiwan with CLT. Reasonably often use of bullseye, but the problem was force was being expended like crazy to survive.

And CLT Jedi do NOT survive very long. 7B regen lasts longer.

In reality, I was actually thinking of 5 Phoenixes with Juke and Intimidation. But they don't have 2 talents anyway so the whole thing is bunk.

The knee-jerk reaction of some CIS players.

embed didn't work. booo!

I also assume that Precog shuts down using Vader's ability to do more actions at ALL times during his activation phase.

1. For Foresight, does adding die count as a mod? 2. Can Vader add a die from AdvTar to a Foresight attack?

1: Rolling an additional die is not a modification (dice mods section of the rules reference state this directly), adding a result is. 2: No, AdvTar is primary attack only, Foresight is a special attack.

Yes ala Advanced Sensors.

Hmm. Snapshot is missing info in YASB for what the attack range and dice are...

If Sun Fac cares about how many tractors ships, maybe we should be getting a 2nd (or even3rd) Nantex. Or flying it with Maul+tractor?

Any other ways for the faction to give out tractor tokens?

Foresight is a secondary weapon. ATC doesn't work on secondary wea0ons.

I can see it. :D Easy goof to make. I'm grumbling about the death of my hopes for Snap/AB TPVs right now... Oh well...

All in on Ensnare/tractors?

I call this the low-I6 style, with no bid and just chunky fun. Wipe out their I6, and let whatever end piece at I6 or I5 you have leftover clean up.

Sun Fac (54)
Ensnare (24)

Stalgasin Hive Guard (34)
Ensnare (10)

Darth Maul (67)
Hate (9)
Tractor Beam (2)
Total: 200

Grievous really needs the Soulless One title. Those three just are not going to fit together well was currently costed

I’m very pleased that all 3 Anakins will fit in one list (from a points perspective, of course it wouldn’t be legal) for silly play, with 7-B and 15 points to spare.

>Nantex comes with Targeting Computer

>has no Modification slot

After going under the same with Fang Fighter, I can say only one thing to FFG:

**********! AGAIN, FFG? 😡

And they even forgot to add the Trade Federation Drone to the new points list...

Edited by Vector Strike

R2-D2 with shield upgrade, ion turret, and Palpatine is only two more points than 104th Battalion Pilot with Palpatine. Oh that I might be able to fly backward.

Fun fact, in the app, "Odd Ball" in the Y-wing is actually spelt "Oddball".

This means you can have 2 Odd Balls in your list.

Forget Sun Fac, Chertek with ensnare is a steal! 49 points! 49! He will be the one to make you cry for nerfs

Agreed. I think we see a lot of chertek subbing in for some of the other midrange ships in CIS swarm builds.

Another fun fact. Sun Fac quick build card comes out to 94 points for 3 threat.

Has anyone realized just how many actions he takes for free? boosts/barrel rolls with tractor, tractors someone and takes a focus, and has rerolls.

49 points

That sounds a lot like Ensnare got a big points increase late in playtesting....
