So now that I’m in possession of a 5th Guardians of the Republic (mistakes were made), I’m getting pumped for epic. What kind of craziness are folks looking forward to trying out?

If there’s no hard cap of 8 ships per chassis like there was in 1.0, I would love to throw 10 Gold Squadrons flanking Sinker down my opponent’s throat.

A full flight of loaded up Y-Wings.

5 Jedi Knights with Foresight and CLT (I know they don’t work together, but if someone lands in a foresight attack I will also get a CLT attack unless they reposition).

What craziness are other folks looking forward to?

The Epic forum has plenty of examples, I myself am looking forward to seeing what a Selfless Evaan-supported CR-90 can do as well as BroC-ROCs.

I think the IG-2000 Aggressors will be good even in non-droid focused lists just because of Tragedy Simulator bombs, and IG-88D on a C-ROC with IG-88A for calculate passing and/or IG-88B for bonus cannon shots will make C-ROCs quite strong. Azmorigan+IG-88D C-ROC with a TrajProton IG-88A and/or B should be a great starting point for Epic Scum lists. If huge ships are allowed to boost with Cad Bane, you can even throw C in there for the evade token on top.

Hm... that’s the hard cap in standard play, now, so I certainly hope it’s not for Epic. I want to fly two full wings of Vultures! 😧

They aren’t. It was said on stream that boost/BR/cloaking aren’t getting rules for huge ships at this point

If ever. They gutted Cik to make sure it doesn't happen.

Ah, haven't followed all the streams so must have missed that. I figured they wouldn't allow it, but I didn't know for sure. IGs A and B will still work just fine with C-ROCs though. A can have the C-ROC get a calculate to a ship in dire need, like a killboxed Guri, and if I understand the rules right, B will give Corsair C-ROCs a cannon bonus attack for each attack that misses, but will only allow one cannon roll per missed attack as per the once per opportunity rules (so no broken infinite cannon bonus attacks until you hit like I feared)

There's still Cad Bane with Bombs (both of which can be equipped on the C-ROC), but most likely it'll be stated somewhere in the rules that huge ships cannot boost or barrel roll at all.

The “at this point” was only because of he way he put it on stream... he blatantly said huge ships won’t be able to boost/BR (and thus cannot decloak), but if a ship was introduced that needed those mechanics for it to work properly, they might add them in then 🤷‍♂️

I remember the stream. I'm still salty that my question resulted in Cik getting hammered.
