Is anyone else noticing a lack of cards that might also add a salvo token, at least in the "spread" of cards? Is Agate (Admiral) the only card for the rebels that will add a salvo token? If so, then I only expect a single card in the Onager too.

It actually ignores fire arc and LOS so why not?

exactly.

The more exciting prospect here is the announcement pic of the Onager shows 3 salvo tokens, seems to me the Onager is going to have an upgrade that gives the salvo token to other ships as well. That's exciting news as an imperial. if that is th case can a salvo attack proc off a salvo attack?

I really hope this is the case, otherwise the attacks are gonna be pretty meager most of the time I think...

I’m also wondering that

They really want enemy ships to engage it. It'll be a tough ship to plink down from long range.

I feel like it would have to be - with the spoiled cards it looks like the spirit of the Starhawk is to have enemies come close...no...closer....no even closer....to it. Amity and Concord for example - overlap me! I dare you! And then Haha speed 0 you say? Sure why not. Could set up some interesting last/first options for Rebels, have a MC30, position itself well, your Starhawk comes up and bam speed 0 + Magnite used on an ISD might get 6-7 unmitigated damage into a Hull Zone.

Also I just noticed the Magnite is unique to the Starhawk - I wonder if the Onager will also have it's superweapons upgrade icons tied to its ship.

Oh AND ANOTHER thing, where's the guy who was trolling saying the Starhawk would have FOUR SALVO tokens base??

Surely not. Just like counter can't trigger of a counter attack.

Amity is too good IMHO

Do be aware - its onjly when an Enemy overlaps YOU. Won't Trigger when you overlap Them.

Amity with Hardened Bulkheads.

Bringing the pain train at Speed 2.

Edit: Shoot. Just saw Drasnighta's post. No pain train then. Pain wall instead.

1 hour till the stream and no Onager article yet. Also if they would want to post something about the Onager they would have bundled the Starhawk and Onager together in one article. I don't think there will be an Onager article today and I think it might not be in todays stream. I doubt that they want to spend the first half of the stream with explaining how the extra mechanics on the Onager work, that's why they released the Starhawk article, so that they don't have to explain superweapons and salvo in the stream.

I really hope we will see the Onager but I don't have high hopes 😔

I'm sure we will, its the new SHIPS stream, plural.

Plus, last time they ran the Stream, we saw stuff in RitR that we didn't see in the Associated Artcle, too - so all precedents are on the side of not being hopelessly Negative

Well it gives you a token (no to exchange it) and a choice in a situation that you didn't choose. It is also just 6 points against 10 and 12 of the other titles

I think the front arc is also very small on that ship... Maybe it could benefit ackbar...

Yes, however, arguably, the Token is less useful than the others, because its Range Restricted, unlike them... So its not useable a portion of the time.

Plus, Concord is Baller. Its hard to compare.

I was thinking on a Raddus bomb on the front with TRC and double arc. xD

Can anyone dial up Ryan Kingston and convince him to get the squad builder updated? I Want my fix.....

I guess if you got really cheeky you could do Agate (Cmdr or Officer lol) w/Evade + Amity + TRCs...I might not be able to use Spinals or QBT, but it looks like I can modify dice....AND it looks like Crit effects are not restricted against Salvo as I thought they would be (But I also thought you would use half your attacked hull zones battery armament)

As he's local to me, I can say with confidence that He'll do it when he has all of the Cards in HiRes, and not beforehand.

With the preview there seems to be a lot of fun lolzy ways to play this ship. Here are some that popped off the top of my head.

1. Agate(Com)+ Concord, Start with 3 Salvos. generate 3 extra attacks, max out at 6. Laugh till you die

2. Harden bulkheads + Amity. My guss here combo causes 0+1 on your end allowing you push damage cards harder on the on the enemy.

3. Raddus+ Concord+ Crystal. Park at precious board space or objective and lay into the oppenent.

4. Agate+ Derlin+ Unity+ Adv. Shield tech. Tanky brick

Interestingly, 3 rebel ships have 3 printed rear arm. Both MC80HO and AFM2 A. If anyone still wants to have crazy ideas about agate salvo on other ships.

Wedge feels more like hes squadron support for the other squadron 3 rebels carriers lacking support teams slot. Maybe we'll see an uptick in AFMII+ b-wing builds.

Btw new anti squadron turbo. I don't see it too useful for imperials but if it is cheap enough.

It’ll have to be cheap to beat LTTs. It’ll probably be a flop.

Yeah but since we’re all nerds here we know the lore now makes the distinction that a coordinated fleet action took out the Executor, with the A-Wing providing the decisive blow.

I really really enjoyed that short story. Pretty much explained the entire Battle of Endor from the Imperial side. The fact that they set up the entire Rebel fleet was blasting away at it nonstop and how both Ackbar and Sloane knew it was the center piece of the battle really give the ship some much needed credibility. Also helps that in RotJ you can see around 10 Mon Cal cursiers around the SSD before and after the A-wing takes it out.

Hey, now the repels get an ISD, and it hits harder. Yikes.

Its almost as if they took ISDs, pulled them all apart, and then built a better ship out of the components, eh?

LOL! I also really like how if you look long enough you can find the different parts of the Star Destroyers all over that ship. Also just to drive it home they have the picture showing all the pieces they took from the ship in the background lol.

Wedge's ability has changed in contrast to the previous article. The "non-unique" part was added.

The defender is still a ship, I'm assuming.

Hey, no fair making sense!

Krysta Agate: After you deploy, gain 1 non (scatter) token

I see a slight ambiguity here, is it

1: after deployment phase gain a total 1 token

or are they mad enough to mean

2: after you deploying each ship and each squadron, that ship or squadron gains 1 (non scatter) token

For the points it has to be #1, but I dunno

Absolutely its JUST the Flagship.

Its "YOU".

Onyl after THIS SHIP deploys, it gains a token.

Because rememberm on Upgrades, whenever you see "YOU", you substitute the words "The Ship This Upgrade Is Attached To."

It does NOT mean "You, as a Player."
