I'm a bit underwhelmed. By all means, I hope to fight against First Order list, they're just not my cup of tea, apparently.

Yes its all pretty underwhelming, think both Hux and Phasma could have some utility but without points...

Just hope they get the new Interceptor pretty soon as they are the most limited faction and need something.

isn't Phasma just a redo of Mara Jade ?

Hux might be okay as restricted action economy is still action economy

Yeah, Phasma got Mara’s ability. Does being First Order now mean I can’t put that card on my Decimator (used it several times in the past on my Oicunn ramboat to corral enemy ships for a ram)?

And Hux...Hux seems as incompetent as his on-screen character; not sure he’s worth using.

Part of me really wants to drop my Imperial stuff and just play FO, but then they went and released the Star Wing... :(

honestly, in a game like this I'm all about the Galactic Empire! It's what I grew up with and all this new stuff just feels a little knock off. XD

Although, I say that... I do have a soft spot for a droid army if that ever comes out... and I hated those films even more! XD

I don't care for prequels, but fielding generic ARC-170s and Jedi starfighters are riiiiight up my alley.

The system open prize announcement has spoiled Quickdraw and a generic TIE/sf (Zeta squadron survivor). The images don't want to embed here butt hey can be found at the bottom of this page;
https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/11/5/2019-system-open-prizes/

The /sf has the Zeta at int2 and Quickdraw at int6.

Features a 2 attack forward primary and a 2 turret.
2 Green and 3 each of hull and shield.

Has focus, lock, BR and evade all linking into a white turret rotate.

The turret can only be moved between the fore and aft arcs and treats all missiles as turret attacks.

Quickdraws ability is after you lose a shield you can spent a charge (she has 1 that regenerates) to perform a bonus primary attack.

I'll be a bit sad if the TIE/sf loses its ability to shoot once out of both arcs... that said rear-facing missiles sounds fun.

There's a Gunner upgrade that looks like it's going to allow the same double shot as the SF used to get.

Ah thanks for the reminder, I'd forgotten about that card.

Hux is definitely made for Swarm lists.

Striden+Hux will probably be a thing, points dependent of course.

Snoke also seems legit.

Points are up;

I'M gonna try the Resistance bombers tonight, see how they fare in 2.0.

First order points are interesting. You can now field 7 TIE/FO in a list or 5 TIE/SF or 3 TIE silencers. Definitely lowered the point cost compared to 1st edition at least on the generics. Much more swarmy.

Since the points are available, did they say when they'd update the app?

I just hope the BatTank is better in 2.0

The app is being updated on the 13th, which is the legal street date for the wave (though some places have it released already) and on the 24th for the premier events.

From the talk among FO players it would appear not.

The release article from FFG looks like it contains the new Silencer sculpt, cant port it over at the moment but its a lot smalle and the wings have been slimmed down.

That's a shame it's the one ship I really want to fly.

From what i have read and heard it seems like the dial is the largest issue. Raw stats and slots its pretty great with some interesting pilot abilities but the fact it cant turn worth a damn is really hampering. Try it out though and let us know!

Image of what I am assured is the new silencer;

Everyone is going crazy at the FLGS over the First Order... I'm here with my Resistance stuff, wondering what this is all about.

And also not being at the FLGS. Damn you Christmas Season!!!

Apparently, Kylo Ren with Proton Torpedoes is all the rage on Vassal.

Great.

Great.

Doesn't he just get a target lock and fail to pull the trigger?

Yeah, but that gives his wingmates huge bonuses.
