..is flying upside down. Just thought I'd mention it.

Other than that, great art all around!

Tht is interesting, especially s the B-wiing had a rotatable cockpit to keep the pilot poreented properly at all time.

On the other hand it was a notoriously finiky system that tended to lock up if the pilot pulled to many hard manuvers, so maybe a case of fridge brilliance?

If anything, they appear to be oriented facing upward along the long axis of the ship from the cannons. Whatever the case, "upside down" is probably not in a B-wing pilot's vocabulary.

If you look closely the canopy part is facing straight down, as it would normally be in its "S-foils in" mode if it was upside down. Incredibly minor but yeah it is there.

Also my last post was a mess. I need caffeine.

In space there is no upside down.

The thing I'm most excited about is that the bwing can barrel roll. That will be fun.

I am curious why peop0le are so worried about spatial orientation. The gate is down.

The B-Wing looks to be a great ship. I'm just waiting to see its movement dial. If you add a shield upgrade you can make a more manuverable 'Firespray' for the rebel side.

You'll just be short a crew member.

The new cards give you a lot of options.

The manuvere dial will be quite key though.

I'm looking at:

Named Pilot

B-Wing

Heavy Laser Cannon, Marksmanship, Shield Upgrade, One of the new Systems Cards (probably the free target lock)

Can someone link me to an image of this new target lock every keeps talking about? I haven't seen that one yet.

I'm assuming all the speculations are based off the text on this image that mentionsree target locks and fire control systems in the same sentence.

Ah ok. Very interesting. If it really is a free target lock though then that seems insanely underpriced.
