Slicer tools, wow. Energy rules are looking pretty powerful.
Dam, was just going to post this!
Looks awesome so far. I can't wait to see the other pilot and upgrade cards.
The cost is surprisingly cheap, only 30 points. Obviously it can take several of the new energy upgrades and a couple crew members. The Falcon has a higher hull and shield total. I like the movement template, it seems right, although it took me a second to figure it out. 6 x-wing pilots although it looks like rookie and red are among those. Very interesting and exciting.
I like that running into any Ties/F in front of you = insta-kill for them. Wondering if its 3 hits to any ship?
I have to admit that this has me more excited than I previously was for these huge ships. The number of options that it opens up is mind blowing! (I still can't figure out exactly how movement works though). But unfortunately I don't get to play nearly as much as I would like. So this just makes my decision on what type of game to play even more dificult. I may hold off on buying these unless I see something that I just must have for my Standard games.
Only one pilot for the GR-75 from the looks of it. I guess it wouldn't really matter because it's such a large lumbering ship it a pilot wouldn't be able to do that much with it.
I'm also curious about any upgrade cards for regular ships/x-wing, new astromechs, named ship card, etc. Man they are just teasing us.

O wait. Now I get it. I wish thay had given more examples than just the 2 bank to make it more obvious

Yeah it probably counts for any ship as Capitols would obviously affect each other.
Now. When will it actually appear?
More likely a collision three damage going straight through any shields. Or maybe it just means dead ship no matter how big.

I'd guess it's something like this. I can't see a YT-1200 being destroyed by running into a Transport.
Y-Wings and a GR, ion and smash....
So will get new crew members for sure, let's cross are fingers for new Astromechs!
Combo's look pretty good I must say. Thankfully the Jam and Slicer Tools are both actions, so you can't hand out 2 stress and then immediately deal 1 (or 2?) damage in the same turn. As long as there isn't a new crew member that does the equivalent of PTL........
Speaking as a Rebel mostly player... My biggest issue with the Transport is that it seems to be a Rebel only ship. I know the Empire was never seen using one, and likely didn't have a huge need for such a thing when they have ISD's.
But for the game, and without seeing the rules... It seems like this gives the Reb's a huge number of new toys and nothing for the Empire.
I'm surprised that there is only one pilot card for the GR75, I wonder if the new crew cards come with a named captain(s) that have awesome abilities.
C'mon Porkins! He has GOT to be in there.

Porkins is there, he's a pilot for the X-Wing that comes with the Transport.
We just have to wait and see how Epic play turns out. It does look like the Rebels will have the advantage for a while in that format. But again, we don't know if there will be anything tweaked to the rules other than point total, and likely, play area. I am curious how an actual Interceptor swarm would operate, though...
There is a new Torpedo in the mix there too.... can't read it though.
It looks like there should be a generic rogue squadron card, the center pilot card! If you compare that image to the LCG image http://www.cardgamedb.com/forums/uploads/sw/tn_rogue-squadron-backup-balance-of-the-force-l01.jpg
It appears that it's a cropped image from the same picture. And that image is for the card "Rogue Squadron Backup." Though now that I look at it again, it would appear the X wing is at a different pitch. And in the past when they've shared images, they haven't altered them at all... so maybe not...
You have to admire the pure awesomeness of the effort put into this ship. So awesome, looks great!
I am really intrigued... and kinda scared...
I really hope this "Epic" version doesn't replace the standard rules for stuff...
I also can see a severe abuse of the "Tie fighter crashing into ship" thing.
Imagine transports VS Tie swarm where the rebel wins simply by cutting off all Tie Fighters...
Doesn't seem too fun to me.
3 Transport lists inc!
