I suppose the people know where to go for their epic, huge, and scenario news!

Can't make out the Ordnance teams.

So Stalwart captain is just a less-good Raymus Antilles?

Well and any faction. The epic rules reference already has an errata removing “rebel” from it

This seems really good:

Outer Rim Patrol (150)
Proton Torpedoes (13)
Homing Missiles (5)
Ordnance Tubes (2)
Targeting Battery (9)
Ordnance Team (4)
Bombardment Specialists (6)
Tibanna Reserves (3)
Instigator (6)

Ship total: 198

Start with 2 energy and no charges.

For your actions, you tibanna for 2 energy, then reload and get both torps and 2 homing missiles.

For your attacks, you do your primary, then spend one energy on targeting battery, then homing missiles with the lock and 2 rerolls, then Protorps with 2 rerolls. Full front arc, and you can spend that calculate to do that out to R1-4 if necessary.

That's quite the combo, and it doesn't even break the bank. Interesting...

Sensor Experts might be nice instead of Bombardment Specialists because otherwise if you destroy the target you have locked, you can't fire anymore ordnance that round. But that's just me worrying. It looks great the way you have it.

Tagging @raithos , @J1mBob , & @Wazat just in case y'all are interested.

Can't view without FB account. Is there an Imgur album or could somebody post the pics here?

Anyone else struggling to read a load of them? Not sure if it's me or the photos themselves as it sounds like people know what some of the harder to read cards say!

Also congrats on the early drop Tydirium!

Takes a ton of guesswork; it's all a pixelated mess to me too. Maybe they took the images too far away and cropped them, or were too zoomed in with a digital phone cam (tends to be all pixels), or it's a bad camera? The cam in my phone offers much better resolution and it's not special, so maybe they just had a setting wrong or something. Or they saved it to JPG with the wrong compression settings. It's also possible this is through official channels under the table to build hype, but the agreement was to have bad resolution to keep some cards kinda mysterious (does that hype people up more? People love leaks but it's not working for me).

It's giving me a headache trying to read them -- I stopped at Ordnance Tubes. I'll check again later in case they fix the images.

The mobile link is really pixelated, but it looks fine on desktop. Must be a FB thing. Here’s an imgur album.

It's really cool that Shuttle Tydirium posted about getting this first and in my headcannon forever FFG did this on purpose.

I'm also really digging the picture of all the factions' dial covers next to each other. Don't think I've seen that before but they all definitely pop next to each other.

I'm on desktop and it's ultra-blurry, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Facebook will be facebook, though.

Thank you for the imgur album, that helped a ton!

It's that the link is mobile, not what machine you're using. It's one of those "m dot facebook" links, which makes it render everything for a mobile phone. Which looks real bad on a desktop. The website doesn't automatically switch it to desktop, it's all Zuccs fault.

Excellent, that explains it. Here's the fixed, non-mobile link

Thanks for the explanation @CaptainJaguarShark and the new links @Wazat and @asterborn . Now the true scheming can begin!

Start with 2 energy and no charges.

Is this assuming that you've used energy and ordnance in previous turns or is there something I'm missing here that means you've started without ordnance charges or energy?

Question on Ordnance Tubes. It doesn't actually give you a Ordnance slot. It seems to take the ones you have and make them bonus attacks instead of a regular attack (because you only get one regular attack. Fire main guns or your Ordnance). So....does this mean that only ships with existing Ordnance slots are the only ones to use this?

Correct, which I think is just the Raider or the C-ROC with one of the titles.

It seems to read:

Quote

Ordnance Tubes

Setup : Equip this side faceup.

You can perform [torp] and [missile] attacks only as bonus attacks. You must treat the [forward] of your equipped [torp] and [missile] upgrades as [180 forward].

Bonus attack : Perform a [torp] attack.

Bonus attack : Perform a [missile] attack.

[Edited:]

Raider (both Empire and FO version) has a [missile] and [torp] slot. C-Roc Corsair Refit adds a [missile] slot.

Yes only these can equip it. For 2pts you get to double attack, and your ordnance is suddenly 180deg. Good buy, if you anyway wanted ordnance.

[Original text was

Raider (both Empire and FO version) has a [missile] slot. C-Roc Corsair Refit adds a [missile] slot. Seems no torp anywhere [Future proofing? Or something in the works, even the strange Coaxium Injector might hint at something in the works?).

Agreed. I think a lot if people are going to miss that. I find the Raider is full if hard choices. One Hardpoint. One Crew. So many good options that it gets difficult.

Raider has a Torp slot

If you take Ordnance Tubes, you lose the only Hardpoint you can have. It removes all your long range options (besides main - what is the range on main?).

Range 3. Only the CR-90 has a range 4 primary- presumably because it can't chase things down with those broadsides the way the front arc Huge ships can.

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!

Oh, it does have 2! I think I stapled Targeting Battery on so hard that I didn't see the slot!
