Yeah I like new poe more than most people on here. Feels like a rebel ship, so much so they priced it like a rebel ship

I don't mind the ability I just don't like the price. Cova Leia is a better support ship.

I don't like the range restriction, because Poe is I6, so he probably moves last. So your ship that moves first needs to be at range 0-2 to use his ability, it can sometimes be a problem.

I am not too enthusiastic about the release despite it being my first X-wing purchase since Upgrade Packs. Since 2.0 I have found my flavor in Resistance and iterating 4-5s and 3X.

Old Poe with Overdrive looks VERY fun. Depending on the order of his actions he has immense control over his positioning. I just wish Predator was still Hyperspace.

Predator is not in hyperspace but R6-D8 is, although you'll be suffering without the blue hards R4 gives you.

Have to say, played with Overdrive Poe, Rey and Fireball last night vs a Guri, Ketsu, Talonbane list and he didn't land in arc once, and my opponent was trying hard to catch him. However having to choose between Poe and Rey was a tough one for him, you don't want either in the late game.
