Main is 1-3, but Raider has 2 hardpoints so it’s not really an issue.

Besides, bombardment specialists can let you protorp at R4, denying not one but TWO green dice!

This. My base build for a Raider, based solely on theory to this point: Corvus, Bombardment Specialists, Ordnance Tubes, Targeting Battery, Pro Torps, Conc Missiles, and maybe Damage Control Team and Sloan. Illuminate a target with the Battery, light them up with ordnance. Corvus giving an extra calculate for just three points is ridiculous.

No ordnance team? I thought they would be a given for the extra reload charges, disarm removal, and free calculate for your bombardment specialists? And at an incredible price too.

So, we don't know how many shots a game we can reasonably expect to get. Also, it's not an additional free calculate, since we can broadly assume we'll be taking locks, and if you are then Bombardment Specialists have calculate actions covered. It might make sense. We'll see. They'd replace Damage Control Team (for one more point) in the build in question, if it is reasonable.

Just received a call from my LGS., They received the Epic Battles Scenario and the Huge Ship Conversion Kit. Available on next friday.

My Epic Battles copy and Tantive IV expansion is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Anyone know when either YASB or the Official app will be updated to include the Huge ships?

YASB has had huge ships for a few days now.

Critically, you have to drop down the game type to "Epic".

But the ship expansions aren't listed in the My Collection yet, and not everything has the rules text. Nor can you add each card individually in My Collection since they don't appear in the lists.

This is because it hasn't been released yet. You can still build with them:

My Epic won't be here until next week -- a question though: are the generic remote tokens the same basic size as the bomb tokens? (albeit only have the nubbies on one side?)
