I hope the model can be set up without the Vulcan laminar warp drive ring. Those things have always been fugly

Looks like the Tie Heavy was missed for pictures

Man, this fall will be expensive.

Needs more Separatist & Scum ships, because those are the two factions I don't buy!

Yes they did mention they are detachable and also they can attach to other already released ships

Oh man.... I am buying all of them. I’m not huge on the seppies but I gotta give it to Jango

Yeah I missed the TIE Heavy picture sadly. ☹️

Purple talon rolls on the ETA are interesting.

Anyone else feeling lied to?

No mention of X-Wing info being dropped today and they pull this.

My kingdom to a person who can divine what that new Poe and Snap text is.

FFG give you something ahead of schedule and you berate them for it?

There really is no pleasing this community sometimes...

In Flight Report does this every year...

All good, caught a screen grab on Discord. Its stat line is an underwhelming 2 1 8 0. I'm guessing the ship's ability at gives it some way to have a 3rd red dye.

That's a good way to sell me reprint. Excited about all the not sequel stuff there. I am glad I do not play Resistance as I rather hate those paint schemes. Just not my cup of tea.

can we get a post of the Tie/rb pic??

My guess a config or cannons.

Link to the Stream Recording on Twitch. X-Wing portion starts at 18:40 (sorry, not embeding properly)

Looks like the Trifighter comes with two Networked Calculations Modification(?) cards. And Thread Tracers. And a new Talent that gives strain to a ship in your forward arc if you moved through an obstacle, structure, or huge ship.

I can see Anakin, Obi-wan, and Aayla in the ETA. Oddball in the V-Wing.

Jango is an i6. Zam Wessel gives out as many as four condition cards? There's a baby Boba crew, and a Jango crew. A talent called Deadeye Shot that seems to have something to do with the bullseye.

TIE Brute appears to have reinforce? And reolad linked to calculate? Two configurations, Ablative Plating, and a copy of Deadeye Shot.

It matters a lot, certainly enough to feel lied to, if you wanted to experience it live. I don't mind because I didn't plan to, but I didn't think there would be anything until tomorrow, and it did sort of throw off my anti-spoiler feelings. It's not a huge thing, but it sucks if you wanted the thrill of seeing it as it happened.

Okay. Recap from what I just watched while texting my bud.

The Droid Gunship, LAAT, and Xi are due out in Sept. Expect articles on them.

Tie/rb is medium based, the port cannon swivels, and it comes with "Tie specific" upgrades.

The Resistance Squadron Pack (Heralds of Hope) is variant paint jobs (see @Skitch_ 's OP) , and new pilot cards for existing pilots.

Tie/rb and Heralds of Hope are planned for release in Oct.

I didn't focus too hard on the Sep and Republic section other than to find out the planned release, Nov, but I did catch 3 things ( @mrkyle already mentioned one but I'll repeat it anyways).

1. Jango's Slave 1 is coming with new Illicit upgrades that are supposed to be usable by both Seps and S&V, having flashbacks to Coaxium Hyperfuel's announcement so call me skeptical .

2. The V-Wing qualifies for "Tie Specific" upgrades since it was the precursor design (no mention if the Actis does, personally I think it should but we'll see).

3. The hyperspace ring that is coming with the ETA-2 Actis is compatible with the Actis, The Aethersprite and the Nimbus (aka V-Wing) as @mrkyle mentioned previously.

Hey @Darth Meanie , Tie Specific upgrades sounds right up your alley.

So we've got the Actis, the V-Wing, and the Tri-Fighter all in one announcement! Then the Resistance Pack has a green A-Wing, something I've wanted for a long time. Not sure I'll pick it up as I don't do Resistance at the moment, I'm really not that fond of the X-Wing paint jobs, and I've done my own A-Wing paint jobs at this point, but it's exciting nonetheless. Even a Separatist Jango is something I wanted to see (but don't particularly care to fly). The only real outlier for me is the TIE Heavy, but even that's a ship that I had started to want to see just out of a certain "how has this not shown up yet?" kind of way. 😜

I went from wanting nothing in an announcement to everything.

• TIE/rb Heavy ability looks like a cannon equivalent of the TIE/sf. Turret only front or back, treat your cannon arc as a turret arc. They have a copy of the 3-dice range 2-3 cannon from the HMP in there, whatever that does.
• Init 6 Firespray surely won't be unfun to play against. I can't squint up anything interesting.
• Tri-Fighter has two different blue hards, the 2 and the 3, but no blue banks. Networked Calculations, Boost and Roll linked to Calculate. 3/3/3 stats.
  • Two-dot limited Init 5 is interesting, if for no other reason than it's an Init 5.
• V-Wing has an init 5 who isn't Oddball? What? 2/3/2/2 statline with Interceptor/A-Wing style dial isn't super exciting, but S-Foils Config and Bombs might add something spicy.
  • Looks like 2e Thermal Detonators have 4 charges, which is interesting. Lots of charges, but weak bombs?
  • Init 4 pilot has closer-together numbers, probably indicating a charge-based ability, since we don't see any force charges in the spread.
• Stupid ring covering up the actions and statline of the Actis. We can see it's a 3 bullseye, 2 full-arc, 3 agility, but no info on the hull/shields (although the wide spacing on the stats might indicate no shields), or the actions. Purple Tallon Roll maneuver is interesting. Presumably, it'll be no stress, but cost a force, much like a purple action.
• Heralds of Hope is a much better name than the "Traitors and Collaborators" leak that folks had presumed was Resistance. There's nothing interesting I can squint out.
