Deplete: Red Token, -1 attack die. Applies to any attack the depleted ship makes.

Did they say if it got removed after attacking?

I think that piece of information was spoiled in the original article.

Rush looks super fun. Canadian Prog Rock fans should be glad.

I am really excited to fly Holo, looks like a pretty solid ace with no consequences for double repo as long as you have another ship nearby.

Ten Numb with s-foils.....

Cannon/FCS B-Wings just got powerful (whether they're good or not... who knows... but powerful). Ten Nunb more than Braylen, kinda, since red Lock plays better with Ten than Braylen.

Also closed roll to red evade on Ten = focus evade.

the B-Foils better not be free....

geeze, closed they don't affect red dice. wow

Add stealth device on Braylen? Good luck trying to push damage at Range 3 with rerolls and an Evade.

Focus/evade on one green die though is pretty lame.

Very curious if B-Wings get a cost increase and free foils (please oh please oh please) or if these foils have some cost.

Jamming Beam is useful and won't waste your attack! Hooray! Jam someone and then Autoblaster/HLC them!

Also the linked actions without the cannon stuff is also cool. Extra options for a ship that wants them.

Anyhow, I like that there is a chance you won't be able to flip them.

That's how I fly Dash. Surprisingly effective if you have enough mods.

I hope they are and I hope they nerf the B-Wing by about 5-10 points.

I've always wanted the B-Wing to be a punchy powerhouse and now it finally is. Hopefully by default.

I dig the B-wing.

I dig any tractor changes.

I don’t dig the lack of E-wing upgrades.

I like how they flipped the action order on the foils so you don't have the option of failing the roll and gaining all the benefits of the stress. Forces you to do the roll now to gain the stress with those linked actions.

Just want to say to the devs: This is a card WELL DONE.

I was skeptical of flying-flippy-foils on the B-Wing, but thematically it absolutely nails it.

They probably won't flip them much because having them open is just better, but sometimes you just need that little bit of evasion, or an extra reload...

No way they go up. The genetics are already struggling and a basically free jamming beam shot won’t be enough to justify any upward move imo.

I also love how these things are just roly-polies. They be rollin' every which way. Gina's gonna be so much fun to rock out to.

I'm assuming this is a no go... but with vectored thrusters you cannot focus/roll/evade(lock)? right?

no reason to make the foils free by making the base chassis more expensive if the overall price is the same. You can always fly them naked for cheaper if you just want a tanky brawler instead of a powerhouse.

did they spoil her card?

They should be free and then adjust the pilots.

Was that a “Lieutenant Kallus” VCX Pilot?

Strong disagree. Should be priced less than VTG but still considerably. Maybe 4 points. At least now there's more granularity in pricing so it doesn't crowd out the X-Wing. We'll be seeing more generic Xs (as we should be). B-Wings are for firepower and won't be flown as anti-thematically naked as they were before.

Imagine 50 points for a ship that can barrel roll and focus, then shoot tractor with a reroll, and then shoot again with focus. It's pretty strong.

The reason is so that a generic B-Wing is more expensive than a generic X-Wing. B-Wings are probably already a little better than X-Wings, but the price doesn't reflect that. With these new folks free, we can have a 42 point or higher B-Wing that makes sense.
