Hi,

So, the new upcoming points shows three Talents for Huge ships:

Snap Shot for 12.

Squad Leader for 16/18.

Swarm Tactics for 6/7.

Has anywhere stated how you handle Talents with Huge ships? Who can take them? I mean, what is the point of putting them in there if you can't take them?

Did I miss something? Or are we going to get something else? There are no Talent slots on any ship listed in the new guide.

=====

Just thinking of them, though, I can see Snap Shot being really good, but not the others. Wait....it isn't even that good because they move last, and who is going to land in front of the big ship to get run over?

These seem....marginal? For a lot of points.

Right now, they can't take them anyway. ^^

Swarm tactics use the huge ship's inititive, not it's engagement value.

Wow that's wild. Maybe the cost of Squad Leader and Swarm Tactics should be switched. Because, you know, all the huge ships already have coordinate.

You put Swarm Tactics on a Huge ship, then Daisy chain it across the cheapest generics that can take Swarm Tactics so it's really cheap on than, but that still get to fire at initiative 7 or 8. 😯 Yeah, I'm not looking the looks of that. Hoping huge ships don't ever get talents.

Probably just future-proofing. Mostly seems like a bad idea, eh? Unnecessary given how much is already going on inside those Huge hulls. But when did we X-Wing geeks ever stop at a reasonable point?

I think the fact that they are listed in there means we will see them.

Possible. Wouldn't be the first time FFG messed up the PDFs however...

Hopefully this means some time in the future Saturation Salvo for the Raider 🤠
