What is your problem?

After further review, no violence is neccasarry. The Gand Findsman can be employed to find who took this picture and pressure them for information instead.

@realstarkiller- multiple posts recently saying they have new info that turns out to be months old. Thought a comment about a Gand Findsman would be enough to show humor...guess not.

Coordinate, reinforce and recover actions are possible.

coordinate - grant free action to ship at range 1-2.

recover - regain shields (not sure how many)

reinforce - add an evade action to every attack made against this ship

thats the gist anyways.

The ability to shield other ships.. just what rebels need.. lol.. well, I guess we have to step up the Imperial game then..

I'm curious to what the new upgrade type is. That face-down one on the picture with everything all together...

Fascinating.

Didn't they mention that the Transport had powerful communication systems? I think that was a hint at it's new upgrade.

I saw the same thing in my news feed on FB. I dug around and found an internet copy of the story after I saw the GTM 2014 in one of the corners. Less up-side down but it lacks the picture that has the cards in it.

Edit: This is odd as it is the first real new news we have had on these in a while. In fact when I was looking for news about the huge ships this morning, FFG did not have anything on it other than the announcement from August. Seriously, if you look at upcoming or in products, it is not in development or being produced or being shipped. It simply does not exist aside from the original announcement and now this Game Trade Magazine article.

Hehe ... its rebel only.

No option to use the transport as an Imperial player, as far as I can see it.

My Bombers are ready! Let them come with their transports!

Well, I plan on getting at least two of each anyway, and having a massive 500+ point battle with one CR-90 on each side. :D

Different damage card decks for front and aft section? wow

A 'Slicer Tool' to convert stress in damage? Whats a 'Slicer Tool'?

Might be referring to the "Coordinate" action described in the upside-down text.

They missed a much more appropriate opportunity to include pilots of both factions with the lambda shuttle, so I doubt they'll start now. (A special 'Tyderium Shuttle' pack has to be coming at some point.)

Hoping that's a General Dodonna crew upgrade card, always liked him. I imagine being a capital, a fair few of these will be crew cards. The transport looks to have 5 upgrades and 3 look similarly blurred.

I'm really pleased we're seeing 6 X-wing pilots - 4 new ones. Two have the EPT, and I'll predict that 1 of these is Janson and the other is a Rogue Squadron generic (far right, PS 4?). Biggs didn't get an EPT, so I don't see why Porkins should. Last pilot would be Hobbie, since he actually flew an escort X-wing in the movie (supposedly an included scenario).

I'm actually quite excited about this one - can't wait!

Looks like the transport is one big support ship ... a Shield Projektor protect fighters ... free actions for ships in 1-2 range ... Com Jammers generate stress ... but no weapons so far. Are there laser turrets amongst the upgrade cards by any chance?

As far a i can make it there is only one pilot with EPT.

Wow guys, I'm even more excited about these things than I was before. I can't wait to smash TIE's into the side of my hull. :3

Yes, it is the latest game trader magazine. There is a two page article with not much new info. The ships have their own damage decks for front and aft, a well as three new actions. There are four new unique pilots - Jek, Jes, "Hobbie" and Tern?. That last one was hard to make out from the back picture. I know it looked like Tern.
