Not quite as much info as the last one, but I look forward to hearing what people think.

I am waiting for the Ps 6 B-Wing pilot, the PS 7 bomber pilot, and Adrenaline Rush. Those ar ethe only things unspoiled so far I think. I may be wrong, but the unspoiled "Flight Instructor" crew card is also in there too.

Blimey! Ten Numb isn't cheap. I know he's got a lot of hull and shields, but I figured that the low agility would balence it out a bit points wise. When you add the upgrades we all want to give him it's going start getting silly...

I think one of the itneresting things with Ten is that he (like Kath Scarlet) will see his ability work better in mirror matches. TIEs at least have the option to evade reliably, even if it will mean decreased offensive performance to do so. Far less evade potential for the Rebels.

I am happy with the news of the wave 3... every thing the FFG shows looks amazing...

But isn't Ten's ability kind of a counter to that? I mean if they put an evade token down then they have a better chance, but if you are facing imperials who haven't evaded you are getting a 1/8 chance of a guaranteed hit. It would basically do nothing against rebels because they are already low agility and thus the crit is likely to go through even without the ability. I'm new so maybe I'm missing something but it seems to me like your assessment is a bit backwards.

I'm still rather new to this game but I'd think that his ability has more than straight up offensive ability; consider that if I'm running him at your TIE fighters, you have to decide whether to burn that action on an evade, or try to barrel roll out of his arc... this doesn't account for whatever backup may be accompanying him.

Also, he's the first "bomber" type pilot that has access to elite skills as far as I can tell? I can see marksmanship going a long way to make him one scary dude.

He does look expensive, I didn't expect the B-Wings to be so pricey. But that's just my impression, not backed up by any play testing.

He is the highest PS pilot...so I guess it seems fair...seeing he has more HP than wedge.

This is what jumped out at me:

Ps2 rookie x-wing - 21pts

Ps2 blue Sqn b-wing - 22pts

Ps8 Luke skywalker x-wing - 28pts

Ps8 Ten Numb b-wing - 31pts

Luke and Ten both gain the same increase in pilot skill, a unique ability and an elite skill slot, but Ten's cost increases more compared to his generic equivalent. It depends on how the ps6 b-wing pilot turns out, but I think I'll be trying an upgraded blue or nova Sqn pilot before mr numb.
