Heh, just when I posted about being a bit sad that we hadn't have any more indepth info yet. Huh, so that's what the other side of Intensity does. That's kind of cool, I suppose.

Intensify looks cool. The rest of the expansion looks like a pain in the .

And because of all that I'm glad my plan to buy 4 of these buggers on release is looking like it's a good idea lol.
Now I can't wait to see the dial. It's a TIE so we know it isn't going to be bad... but how good is it?

My guess is it's dial will be similar to the TIE Advanced. With the change of having a 1 Green straight, no 5 straight white(maybe a Red), and it's 3 straight will probably be White.

I don't know, I'd expect the 3 Straight to be green like every other Imperial ship (except the Firesray and Punisher), but yeah that sounds like something that would make sense.

Intensity with Poe could be fun. Now you get your focus, and boost as well, without stress. Poe will have his focus at the end of the turn, so will always flip the card. You still run into the problem with Hot shot copilot, plus unlike PTL Poe you can't stack target lock+focus.

Not sure about this ship overall, I like the dual missiles and Intensity (gonna be fun on Jake and looking forward to trying it on a Viper) LWF is good, not sure about synched turret (locked down Y-Wing?). Edited for stupidity.

I will likely be parking Intensity on Vader from now on. It's also cheaper than Predator too which is nice.

I've been having success with Vader. He's solid, just waiting for something to come along and buff him. Intensity could be that thing, though I would also like a way to get another Mod on his ship.

I could see intensity making the defender /D title a bit more playable too (making up for the lack of native evade action)... it's probably not enough to help Valen Rudor or the other TAPs tho'...

The last bits for this wave have been leaked, cant post pics because I am technically incompetent (thought it was posting from work before, but no its just that I suck)!
Lok Revenant and Wookiee Liberator both 26 with EPTs.
R4-E1 (salvaged mech, unique); You can perform actions (torpedo and bomb) even if you are stressed. After performing an action this way you may discard this card to remove one stress. 1pt.
Cruise Missile (missile); Attack, target lock. 1 red dice at range 2-3. Discard this card to attack. You may roll additional attack dice equal to the speed of the manoeuvre you executed this round to a maximum of four additional. 3pts.
Aggressor dial;
White 1 banks, green forward.
White 2 turns, green banks and forwards.
White 3 turns and banks, green forward.
White 4 forward. Red K.
Damn sight better than I was expecting and that new droid has the potential to be horrible.

What kind of actions are related to torpedoes, though? Aside from Seismic Torpedoes?

That's all as it currently stands, guess its for future proofing. Bombs though could be nasty. Toilet seat with Cad, EM, R4-E1, Burnout SLAM, Conner Net etc. Just what the game required is bombing slooping toilet seats who care even less about stress than normal.

I'm not sure Burnout SLAM is that big a deal, unless you also want to splurge on Advanced SLAM, in this particular case. But yes, a red Sloop right in the face of an enemy and dropping the delicate gift of a Cluster Mine is going to be delicious.
Darn it, I'm trying to focus on Rebels and Scum seems to try to suck me back in all the time.

Cruise Missiles just require a Lock, they don't spend it, correct? Mildly curious about trying it out on the Raider.

Yup. In-fact, most missiles actually do not spend target locks.
Of the 10 missile cards currently in the game,
3 are Attack[Focus]: XX-23 S-thread Tracers, Unguided Rockets, and Proton rockets. None of these require you to spend the focus token either.
Of the 7 which are Attack[target lock]: Only cluster missiles, concussion missiles, and assault missiles spend target locks.
So only 3/10 missiles actually spend anything to fire. The rest require you to have a target lock or a focus token, but do not require you to spend it to fire.

Not as great an idea as it sounds on a ship that typically only moves at speed 1. Since you never discard the card, you might as well go with something a little stronger like a torpedo.

It doesn't really need to go speed 1 though. It doesn't really need energy when its relying on ordinance tubes (speed 4 still gives it enough to fire its gun twice). Ram that thing up there at speed 4 and see how it goes.
Realistically, the problem is turning, but I'm curious to try it none the less. I got a Raider build I'm pretty happy with at 127 points with the things, which is a pretty great deal as far as I'm concerned.

I saw someone playtest Vader with intensity. It was a bit mortifying. We still had no idea Cruise Missiles existed at the time, too. So I can only imagine the kind of alpha strike he's going to be able to pull.

So with these now officially out in the wild, has anyone used or faced any Wave 11 stuff yet?
I've been itching to use my 4 Aggressors personally (that arrived on my doorstep 4 days early lol) but have been too busy to play.
And before people ask, no I'm not planning on just spamming 4 TLTs .

Nym
Havoc title
Genius
Bomblet Generator
Adv Sensors
VI
AB Turret
Contracted Scout
Cad Bane
R4-E1
Extra Munitions
Cluster Mines
Lone Wolf
Syndicate Thug
TLT
Unhinged Astromech
I know, I will die a fiery death to Cruise Missiles. I just don't want to play *that* list at the moment.

Just picked my Scurrg today, pumped to use it, happy it has two sets of cruise misses. not sure what I'm going to do yet, aside from bomblet spam, but I am happy with it so far, either going to fly something on Sunday or Tuesday, so I'll get something working then. Might bring the Rebel Nym with Cruise Missiles, TLT, possibly Tycho with Cruise missiles as well, but I've got time to work something out
