This [url=http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4950]News Article came up on Facebook earlier.

It comes with an updated FAQ.

Updated Tournament Rules.

And, updated rules for Epic Games.

The one that I'm interested in is the idea that Huge Ships in Epic games now start with their ship cards at full energy. - That could be a game changer, or at least, make the first turns less predictable.

With the changes to Barrel Roll for Large Ships, it does make me wonder how come YT-1300's with Expert Handling were never much of a thing.

Nice to see you can't Barrel Roll over asteroids now. Means you have to think a little more carefully about it.

If you're following the Regionals reporting thread they've been showing up more frequently in the last month or so, one thing to think about is that it uses the ships action, so you wouldn't be able to grab an evade to combine with 3PO which seems to the be popular thing. The change seems like a bigger nerf to the forward or back movement a barrel roll can provide than to the movement to the side. Not a huge nerf, mind you, and probably more to do with Dash Rendar and the Outrider than anything currently available.

Biggest things IMO:

1. No more Advanced Sensors Cloak action and then immediately decloak.
2. No more using Strength of Schedule.
3. Rexler Brath's ability became even better in some limited situations.
