MORTAL KOMBAT
>>48189640
It literally got announced four days ago. So no, not a single person has it outside FFG.
>>48189652
Personally, I could go for some more X-Wing previews:
>What does Tailgunner do?
>How about Snaps and Jesse?
>Where we right about Finn and that one Tech card from the TIE-SF?
>What's the new Starviper going to look like?
Which new edition of F&D has those interesting new Force locations?

I've been enjoying this little squad immensely. Doomshuttle Jr is such a great buy.
Asking for advice on d20 Saga
What are some of the pitfalls to balancing a game. E.g. dead picks, op picks.
What era do you recommend
Can a mix of Jedi and NonJedi work as a group
Are some races better than others
Whats a cool idea youve used that worked well
I'm pretty new to TTRPGs in general and looking to start off with a Star Wars game. Which RPG is the best and why?
>>48190519
>Doomshuttle Jr is such a great buy
I wondering about that build, but I wasn't sure given how you can only use it 3 times max.
>>48189540
Seconded. The Interceptor is sexy. And I love running them in X Wing. Unf.
Gonna be starting a new EotE campaign soon, first time as a player.
Since I'm basically the most knowledgeable about SW in the group, I thought it might be fun to play a very knowledgeable and educated character.
So far I'm thinking I'd play a Cerean, maybe force sensitive, maybe Mystic?
Any suggestions or tips?

>>48190915
Is there a reference I'm not getting here, or...?
>>48190906
Watch pic related to get in character.
>>48190946
Not really, it started with the Drake Squadron cover story from Solo Command. But then my imagination went places.
Scum and Villainy asker from previous thread.
Like I mentioned, I am considering starting to collect S&V for X Wing, and want some advice on what to pick up as a "base" so to say. I've been eyeing the Interceptor, StarViper and possibly picking up the Most Wanted pack since I already have the Firespray. Or should I pick up some Z-95's instead of the Interceptors? As I understand it, the StarViper is on the same level or equivilent of a Tie Interceptor for S&V, though this perhaps isn't true.
>>48190906
Always try to carry a healthy supply of explosives, a burner commlink, and false IDs.
Don't get into a starfighter if you're playing RAW. Starfighter combat is incredibly lethal without homebrew.
Trustworthy contacts are worth their weight in gold. A good info broker, fixer, fence, and black market dealer are always nice to have.
Stormtroopers are pretty damn lethal in groups, especially if the GM plays them smart and uses combined-arms tactics. Exercise extreme caution around them.
You probably already know this, but still: lightsabers and visually distinct Force powers should be used only as an "Oh shit" button in the Rebellion era.
And as always, watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammunition, and never, ever make a deal with a Hutt.
>>48191013
Addendum: The Most Wanted pack seems like a must have, all in all.
>>48191031
Thanks for the general tips, but I was more looking for character advice, like what would be a good career, specialization, etc for a character like this?
>>48191078
I had a player interested in making a Cerean doctor from the Core Worlds who was coerced into letting a prominent Rebel sympathizer die on his operating table by an ISB agent and then hung out to dry after the deed was done. Disgraced and desperate to hide from several groups (Rebels, Medical Union, and an ISB agent looking to tie off loose ends) he made his way to the outer rim.
I talked the player down from the idea when he started talking about installing freezer units on the ship and selling body parts on the black market, but the base concept's a good one.
>>48191078
If Force-y maybe a Consular/Sage? Presence and Intel characteristics
>>48191078
Colonist Scholar works if you want to be a pure bookworm using just EotE's core classes. FaD's Force-sensitive bookworm is the Consular Sage, IIRC.
>>48190688
I've only used it twice at most, but for the points it's a big threat and at 6hp it can't be one shotted and can be really annoying to put down of its green dice hold up. And who wouldn't give up 19 points to finish off soontir or some other ahole?
>>48190607
None of the Star Wars RPGs are bad. In fact, they're all quite competent, if a bit obtuse at times.
Personally, I like the FFG games. Read the rules chapter and see if you like it.
>>48191013
Most Wanted is nice. Good bunch of upgrades and ships. Definitely pick up a HWK, too, as they're all fantastic.
Starviper is closer to a defender, maybe an interceptor/B-Wing mashup. It's not a dodger, more of a bruiser. They are a tad overpriced, but the named pilots are good.
Scyks are hot garbage. Fun to mess around with, but easily the worst ship in the faction and the game.
I would highly recommend the YV, jumpmaster, and G1-A. The YV is a tanky beast with lots of good builds, the jumpmaster can be damn near anything, and the G1 is a bit of a bruiser with a ton of great upgrades.
>>48191246
What's the opinion on the Kihraxz? It looks pretty beefy, and Talonbane looks like he could hurt a lot.
>>48191013
The Starviper is more like the TIE Defender (pre-patch). I love the Starviper, but it's not a ship you'll use very often.
You need Most Wanted if only for the Agromechs and Crew that come with it.
The other guy's recommendations were good.
>>48191303
Not him, but it's basically a Scum X-Wing.
Also, I hold out hope they release a Vaksai title for it at some point, because the Vaksai was my shit in Galaxies.
>>48191232
Shall do, cheers!
Is there anything official or semi-official on why FFG completely ignores the imperial assault gunboat?
Alright, so the list I've been running recently is two glaive Squadron Pilots with the Tie/D title and ion cannons with Predator as their Elite pilot Talent. I've also been teaming them up with a bomber shuttle that has the mark 2 engine and Fleet officer. This has been amazingly lethal, but I'm wondering if it is worth it to drop one of the glaive Squadron Pilots to the countess. It's the same points cost, just pilot skill 5 instead of 6. I lose that extra pilot skill that I love on the glaive Squadron pilot, but gain more unpredictability in my k-turn alignments. Thoughts?
>>48191479
It's probably because the upgrades on the gunboat would basically be exactly the same as what's on the Punisher. Maybe losing the bomb slots, but really just gaining a small amount of health and a large base.
>>48191479
Just take a shuttle with a heavy Laser cannon, and stick Red Line directly behind its base. Perform the same maneuvers on your dials, and there you go. One gun boat.
>>48191479
1) Well....its not a TIE, so visually it clashes with everything Sienar (except the Shuttle, which it does resemble, but babby casuls won't catch on easily)
2) Its basically an Imperial Y-Wing with no turret, which is useful, but how do you jazz it up to not be another bomb truck?
3) Technically non-canon anymore/for the moment, which, depending on how tightly Disney wants them to adhere to NuCanon is a stumbling block (unless it gets recanonized in a novel or Rebels or, hell, I'll even take a mobile game)
On the bright side, FFG gave it stats in EOtE.Now what's criminally ignored is the Missile Boat...
>>48191303
It's basically an X-Wing without the options, pilots, and fix cards that make the X-Wing good. Talonbane has his uses as a "trade for your ace" guy or at least drawing fire. Not essential, but useful in the right circumstances. I get good mileage out of 2 Black Sun Aces w/glitterstim and crack shot running with Latts Razzi. Subtle as a brick to the face, but it works.
>>48191540
I think Countess is better than the Glaive. Dropping from 6 to 5 is largely irrelevant. You're still under Dash and aces but still over most generics. The extra stuff she can do more than makes up the difference.
>>48191688
That was my thinking as well, but I always have played with symmetrical lists of equal skill when in squadrons. Helps maneuvering options as well as my OCD is calmed.

>>48191688
I find Glaives are at a nice spot, for PS 6 and 34pts. Countess is a beast, but she's a specific beast who doesn't benefit at all from Veteran Instincts (like Guri). Glaives do, and are a better fit for something like an x7 build with Predator. You want Countess to have stuff like Juke, Outmanuever, or PtL and MkII or Engine Upgrade.
>>48192809

Leia Blade...I really personally don't like these last three, Princess Kitana would have been better for Leia with the Princess connection and the gold bikini at the very least, and Han and Luke pieces are just Han and Luke with the MK clothing and no real changes to the character models

>>48193433
>>48193505
Darth Kabal could actually be a real thing design wise.
>>48193423
Yeah, I'm genuinely suprised they didn't go for Princess Leitana or something for Leia.
Boba Fett should probably be Scorpion, because a Boba Fett who can breath fire is all the universe needs.

Let's talk retarded
>>48191303
Kihraxz is like a correctly-priced X-Wing, that replaces it's astro slot with illicit. Torp and missiles are an even exchange.
Otherwise it has a pretty good dial, trading the X-Wing's hard 3-turns for 1-turns, and having both 1 and 2-banks as green.
Gameplay, it's a bit lacking and could use a bit of love. I'm hoping the Vectored Thrusters card in the Arc-170 helps it (and the X-Wing) regain some utility. The Kihraxz has a serious dud pilot in the form of Ghaz the Hunter. He's absolute rubbish, on par with lower-end Tie Interceptor pilots. His lack of EPT is what kills him, and his ability is only sub-par and doesn't make up for it. Talonbane is solid, and benefits from several different builds. I've had luck with engine upgrade, VI, and glitter, but he becomes a 35pt hail-mary. By far the best so far has been Cloak Device, Stygium, and an EPT like Predator, Adaptability (for low cost), etc. It helps him get into that sweet R1, makes him unpredictable, and he feels like a scummy Phantom.
Cartel Marauders are a decent 20pt filler ship. And Black Sun Aces are pretty good EPT carriers.
>>48191584
>Technically non-canon anymore/for the moment, which, depending on how tightly Disney wants them to adhere to NuCanon is a stumbling block
Aren't most of the ships currently available on TT not canon any more?
>>48193980
HWK-290s, Z-95 Headhunters, YT-2400s and TIE Defenders are back in canon and it wouldn't surprise me if more of them slipped back in. Disney/Lucasfilm owns the copyrights for them, so why not make money off them?
The going concern is with the increase in NuCanon movies, shows, books and games, that there's going to be increased pressure to "synergize" with the new products for cross-promotional purposes.
That said, FFG invented the Raider Corvette out of thin air, so who knows what's possible?
>>48194095
>The going concern is with the increase in NuCanon movies, shows, books and games, that there's going to be increased pressure to "synergize" with the new products for cross-promotional purposes.
Plsno. I don't want a rerun of all tie fighter models with a black paint job and slightly buffed stats.
>>48189148
I failed to convince my group to go with Edge of the Empire rather than Star Wars Saga. Consequently, I'll need some help making a gunslinger-type character in Saga. Any suggestions?
>>48194095
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if the people at LFL/Disney working with FFG are like, leaning in and saying "hey some of our stuff is pretty hot right now, it'd be good if you could work in the new stuff", but that's as much marketing for FFG as for Disney. Since X-Wing is a competitive, trying to be balanced game which seems, y'know, moderately popular, I assume FFG is still limiting to doing stuff they find interesting or compelling with the game. You can do some real good stuff Ghost, and I saw video of several high finishing lists in Hoth Open using the Inquisitor. Most people seem to agree the latest wave has some interesting and probably useful ships in it.
The question is going to be if NuCanon continues to produce interesting ships or recanonizes interesting ships, and if they don't if FFG will go back to the well of old Flight sims or SWG.
>>48193703
>metal crossguard
Looking at Strongholds of the empire, Tierfon base, the samply (small) starfighter base, it only has eight starfighters, of a mix of x-wings and y-wings. Is that enough to succesfully attack a supply convoy? Seems on the lower end to me.
>>48193603
But why does the blade curve?
>>48194292
Scoundrel 1, then dump everything else into force-user class/es.
Remember that Use the Force is your primary, secondary and tertiary skill for everything. Grab any and all feats that replaces other skills with Use the Force.
>>48195062
>>48194645
It's on the low end, but its enough to attack lightly defended transports. Most of them are slow, have little to no weaponry, and poor shielding. They also aren't going to die to ship blaster packs, so showing up with a squad of ships saying you'll blow the shit out of them is sufficient.
>>48195067
Right. And what about if I want to remain friends with the DM, or have a character who is not a Force User?
>>48195111
>what about if I want to remain friends with the DM...
make sure either everyone is a force-user or no one is.
>or have a character who is not a Force User?
either A) be completely outperformed by the one guy who inevitably goes full force-user, or B) take another shot at convincing your group to play FFG or D6

Metal crossguards are perfectly acceptable if you use cortosis, phrik, or some other saber-resistant metal. They're certainly less dangerous to the user than Kylo Ren's lightsaber crossguard.
>>48189148
What are some movies and shows that could be good inspiration for an EotE campaign?
>>48199832
>inb4 Star Wars
>>48199832
I dunno about it being a good inspiration, and I certainly don't agree with it being good, but I'd love to see you try to do a campaign inspired by Turkish Star Wars.
I'd almost pay money to see it.
>>48199832Though I'm not entirely sure how you'd replicate the caster gun.
>>48199832

>>48199832
Just going from what I've watched today, Midnight Run (for a smaller campaign), obviously firefly, The Wild Geese, The Dogs Of War, maybe some plots from CI-5
I've also got a list of westerns as long as your leg that'd be good inspiration

>>48200165
I've done that in the old 40K Black Crusade
Funny thing was the damn characters where plagued with bad luck, either half the product would end up in the crew or they'd set part of the ship on fire with an exploding drug lab... then successfully blame it on the crew so they didn't get in trouble with the chaos captain. Whole enterprise sort of lurched from hilarious shenanigans to abject failure every session.
>>48201586
Those are the best sorts of moments
>>48201607
Yeah, this unaligned tech priestess who used to make paint for the Imperium (well someone had to) that got into trouble with the ad-mech, running around with all this chemistry knowledge that got put to no good use and teamed up with a Slaanesh cultist charlatan.
Neither could roll their way out of bed to make/sell or ever break even, but somehow always managed to pull it back from the brink when they where cornered and truly fucked.
Rest of the group was sort of derp-fight types, but those two where memorable

When I say I have no idea how to play, I mean I've never played a tabletop RPG. My only experience with diceroll games is Kotor 1/2, and even then I don't think that counts because I played those when I was 8.

>>48204272
>>48204401

I do find the idea that after Fett got famous and Kuat had its post-Endor shakeups Mandalmotors poached (And possibly literally kidnapped) the Firespray team.
>>48204590
>Wings are superfluous on a craft that's either flying in vacuum or using its particle shields to work in atmosphere.
In Star Wars, at least, s-foils help radiate heat or some shit like that. Plus, given the size of that "wing," it probably stores a lot of electronics in addition to all the gubbins that help the lasers work and maybe the trunk. Sitting on that wing sounds like a great way to fuck up all the machinery and moving parts.
>>48204623
Personally I would have given the hinge more room and let the tail thing flick FORWARD so the flat rear of the long part would be on the ground.
And it could even fly that way too.
>>48204272
Oh look, more creative bankruptcy. Since Jango was kinda-sorta a Mando, and Slave I was his ship, clearly ALL Mando ships should look like they were designed by the same guy who designed the Slave I!
GENIUS!
>>48204788
It's hilarious, given that Slave 1 wasn't even designed for Mandos, or by Mandos either.
I just got a most hunter and I'm loving the cards that come with it, but I don't understand something about the camo card
It says that in the final phase you have to roll an attack dice and if you get a concentration result you have to choose to either deactivate the camo or remove the came token
Isn't it the same thing?
What's the difference?
>>48204788
>>48204844
This is a ship made after Boba was put in charge (In the awful Travis trash)
It actually makes sense that emulating Slave 1 became popular at that time.

In my personal opinion Talonbane is the best pilot in the game. Your boring old lasers at range 1 have 5 attack dice and you get 4 evade at range 3 (unless shot by a secondary weapon).
Does anyone actually play any SW campaigns in here?

>>48210796
>video game Mary Sue protagonist
But that's Kyle too.
And Revan only gets called a Mary Sue because you play as him. After Kotor 1, everything he does goes to shit. He's imprisoned for 3 years, freed by the Exile for all of a day, then the Exile dies when he tried to take on the Emperor, then he's imprisoned for 300 years, gets freed by a bigger Mary Sue, tries to genocide the entire Sith race, gets defeated and dies, comes back as a Dark Side Lich, and then gets btfo and leaves (presumably) forever.
Kyle is successful at everything he does, or at the least, has a higher success rate than Revan.

V-wing for Scum/Villainy 2017
>>48212536
V-wing could be the first all-faction ship, honestly.
Maybe they should do a wave with it, the skipray and some other all-faction ships. That mite b cool
>>48212771
Mmmmmm
Skiprays.
>>48212894
>>48212771
See, I'd probably find that an interesting concept, y'know, to release a ship across factions like that which would probably have all the same upgrade slots and to just see how that synergizes differently.
I don't think the V-Wing could do that because it should have an Astromech slot, which, y'know, would not be supported Imps normally and would probably cause some issues.
>>48212771
You see, I can picture V-wings as Rebel/Scum ships, but not as Imperial. The V-wing was specifically phased out for the TIE Fighter soon after the formation of the Empire, as opposed to something like the ARC-170, which they still did use in small numbers as 'elite' craft.
>>48209672

Anyone want to talk about the times they've been taken into, or maybe confess about the times they've brought Star Wars RPG players into their magical realm?
With this general I expect most of the stories to be about the times they've had players modify star fighters.

They were canonically still in use with remote garrisons and reserve units around the time of the OT
>>48213027
>I don't think the V-Wing could do that because it should have an Astromech slot
V-wings can only use the one specialized model, actually. So they shouldn't have a slot
Any other Star Wars LCG players? My two main decks right now are Rebel fighters and Sith Force dominance. But I'm toying with an idea for an Ewok deck using the Jedi faction. If I put in all of the Jedi or neutral objective sets with Ewoks in them, I come up with 11 objective sets.
>2 x Lost in the Forest
>2 x Sacrifice at Endor
>2 x Ties of Blood
>2 x Warriors of the Forest.
>1 x Courage of the Tribe
>1 x Tribal Support
>1 x Tribe of the Trees
I'm not sure which one or two objectives I would want to take out. Taking out 1 would get me down to standard deck size, and taking out a second would let me try to get in a set with Twist of Fate or some other useful tech.

It;s literally a recolor of the generic vibrosword, it was originally going to be a Cortosis or Beskar Vibroblade but lucas said he'd rather that lightabers not go up against saber-resistant swords (Staves were fine though, he just didn't like it done for sword vs sword from an aesthetic point of view)
THe less-round blade apparently makes it somewhat easier for a non force sensitive to use it without having it torque out of his hands.

Has anyone here read Bloodline? How'd you like it? I've enjoyed most of the new books but they have a serious case of 'nothing much happens in the end'. Without giving away what happens in Bloodline is it the same?

No, stuff definitely happens, but the problem here is that it's all a setup for TFA. There are some genuinely good bits, yes, but most just feels like A is happening so B can be there by the time the movie happens.

How much world-building do you do in preparation for your star wars games? Cities, the people there, all that jazz. Apologies if this is worded poorly, i'm not quite sure just how to articulate my issue.
I have been sort of aching to run a game again(maybe one of the FFG books), but the irl group I ran with up until a year or two ago has made me too nervous about giving access to a ship. The fear being, of course, that they'll just fly off and do their own thing, probably on some planet or in some sector that I hadn't really accounted for. Galaxy's a big place.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing, necessarily - I could get into some more exploration-based shenanigans instead of following whatever humdrum story I piece together. Depends on the group. I struggle a great deal with it, though, in that I just feel constantly unprepared for keeping it entertaining.
Is there anything I could perhaps do to make this sort of changing of locations a little easier to work around? Or is it perhaps something I should hope they just don't do that often?
>>48220968

D6 holocron. When you've got that WEG feeling.
>>48220968
Here's what I would do, the players are the assigned crew to a ship they've been assigned to by the Empire/Rebellion/Black sun/whatever. There is only a single NPC on the ship, the Captain, who receives a list of targets/rumours/opportunities from elsewhere. He turns to his trusted crew to decide on where to go next, and sometimes he decides that they must go somewhere next. This way you end session arcs with letting players vote between 2-4 short descriptions of destinations/quests, and then have time to prep the actual place in detail as it is relevant.
Eventually you can off the Captain when you feel the players are in a place where they will probably continue this same behavior on their lonesome, and ofcourse the pipeline of information will still remain from further up.
Also, never underestimate the capability of talking to your players beforehand and laying down some groundrules, ie they can't expect to just fuck off wherever they want. They need to make goals and interests clear beforehand so you can prep for it, if there's a difficulty winging it.

X Wing help:
I've been running the Y wing like it can use it's primary weapon AND it's ion turret per turn. Is this the case?
I got completely rekt by it at the weekend but that was mainly because we were counting all the dice hits rather than just 1 damage per use of the ion turret. I researched it because it was clearly OP but only using the turret per turn seems too weak.
>>48224114
>like it can use it's primary weapon AND it's ion turret per turn
Are you running it with the BTL-A4 title?
>>48224241
No I wasn't. Is that with the Y wing expansion or a later one.
It was Horton Salm with an astromech I can't remember and Ion turret. Since my opponents was ignoring the ion turret only does 1 damage sentence. He was shooting then hitting for up to 3 damage with the turret rerolling misses. Took Vader out in turn 2.
I was too stoked to use my new interceptors I neglected to read up on the Y.
Any armada news?
Flotillas when?
>>48224286
Then no, you can only make one attack per turn regardless of how many weapons you have unless you have a card that explicitly says otherwise.
The main advantage of turrets is that you do not have to worry about firing arcs.
For ion turrets you roll the attack as normal, it's only after any amount of damage gets through the defender's green dice/evade tokens/etc that the damage dice results get replaced by 1 damage and an ion token.
If that 1 damage seems weak, that's because the whole point of ion weaponry is to inflict ion tokens, the damage is just a bonus.
Basically your opponent was indulging in some turbo-bullshit.
>>48224446
Thanks for the clear response.

>>48224286
As the other guy said, epic level bullshit.
The only way a Y-Wing is getting multiple attacks, is if it takes the BTL-A title, or a Twin Laser Turret. With the Twib Laser Turret, it makes two attacks at 3 dice as a turret, but each attack inflicts only 1 damage if it goes hits. With the BTL-A title, it can perform a turret attack after performing a primary weapon attack, but it can never attack outside it's arc (the turret is essentially locked in the forward position).

So how hard is it/should it be to get a small handful of people out of the spice mines of kessel (around the time of the galactic empire)? I've tried reading up on the place but a lot of what I've found is inconsistent or at least paints a very complected picture.
Basically I need a few pieces of information.
Who, ultimately, is in charge of Kessel. On paper or in reality. I've read that the empire controls the place but also that local nobles control the place. Are the nobles part of the empire? In their pocket? Does the empire "donate" prisoners to them?
Can you land on kessel? Under any pretense can you say sneak a freighter onto the planet with the guise of doing normal merchant shit?
Can you survive on the surface of kessel? I keep reading that it's various stages of uninhabitable, mostly that the atmosphere just sucks and is supplemented by factories that produce oxygen. Could you say walk across the surface unprotected?
How much of a shit would the folks there give about only a small handful of slaves getting away? Acceptable losses not worth losing 40 guards over (but maybe worth 20)? Chase to the ends of the planet? Chase to the ends of the galaxy?
Is there any indicator whatsoever what a prison on kessel might look like? I'm picturing more of a mining camp without a whole shitload of security and cells and shit just because it's not like you can run anywhere, instead of say a bunch of maximum security prisons that they let you out of to mine every now and then.
>>48225021
Though, it is worth keeping in mind that at the turn of the century, we had lots of digital tech advancements and were still figuring out how to apply them. We had advancements in CGI. The Internet was almost what it is today. The N64, Playstation 2, and Xbox were in their prime. The music industry was still safe and secure prior to the rise of the MP3.
Sure, these weren't all life changing developmentsfunctional blaster when, but the early 2000s had some very interesting changes for the world.
>>48193603
>no Tsubaki
>>48189148
I miss Kyle, do they at least have some replacement?
>>48225525
There isn't much solid information about how Kessel works. The Empire controls the mines, likely through a Governor (everyone loves that title). Prisoners are sent there as part of Imperial-sanctioned punishments, so I'd expect the prisons are similarly Imperial-operated.
Given how tightly the Empire controls the Spice trade from Kessel, you'd likely need special clearances to land, even if you aren't buying/selling spice. You should expect searches, especially when departing.
The atmosphere does indeed suck (it is an asteroid in most of the appearances it has had). Surviving on the surface would be difficult, due to thin atmosphere and cold.
You'd likely get a fairly heavy initial pursuit; any vessel carrying slaves off of Kessel could also be carrying stolen spice. The Empire also looks very poorly on raiding their prisons in general. Depending on who you freed would determine if the Govenor would escalate the response (if a few minor prisoners? They'd likely cover it up. Major political prisoner? Expect big trouble).
The prison would still be heavily guarded, due to Imperial standardisation of stuff.
>>48225650
Kanan Jarrus is shaping up to be Katarn-lightalong with Rahm Kota light. He hits a lot of the same buttons for a lot of folks, including myself. He's not really a full replacement yet but I hold out hope.
>>48225525
From what I recall, deep in the recesses of my childhood, Kessel is a red planet that is incredibly dry with lots of canyons. The Empire treats the planet like a very high security prison, as it's a popular destination for people that piss off Palpatine or commit capital offenses (i.e. Incom's staff that didn't escape to the Rebels was sent to Kessel for passing the Rebels the X-wing designs). Travelling on the surface is possible, but not advisable, partially because of the conditions, and partially because there is nowhere else to go. That, and because Imperials patrol the surface with both TIEs and walkers. Most of the facilities (including the mines) are Imperial, and therefore incredibly blocky and grey.
I'm not sure if business can be conducted, but I imagine if there is either you normally deal in spice with the Empire, or it's under the supervision of several blasters.
Take anything I said with a grain of salt, as this is what I vaguely remember from the old Rogue Squadron game many years ago.
>>48225603
N64's prime was the mid to late 90's. Gamecube was during the era of XBox and Playstation 2.
So alliance overhaul costs 0 points and has no downsides, typo?
>>48225398
To be fair, most shit from the early 2000's looked goofy and outdated when it came out.
>>48226174
No. It's designed that way. There's nowhere to put text that alters how a ship operates, so titles are what they have to use. The cost of the title is baked into the ship.
Preview thoughts:
Tail gunner is actually pretty good. Definitely give it a try on Scum Kath, might even brake out a Imperial bounty hunter and see how it does with it. 35 points can buy you a lot in the Empire these days, but I'll give it a shot at least.
2 pt. barrel roll mod is a good addition to the game. Helps the Kihraxz a bit. Will be fun to throw on HWKs.
R3 astromech seems godawful. Literally useless on generics, because they'll get the evade after they get shot. Giving up firepower seems like way too steep a price, and 2 pts. for the droid isn't free. Combo with Juke maybe, but then it has to be a primary weapon attack. I feel like there's something I'm missing with this card, and yes I thought of Norra's ability. Still seems really bad.
Overall looks like a fun ship, curious they didn't preview the torpedoes. They probably will do another preview about all the different asteroid-changing stuff in the wave later.

no, its the lack of "we cant individually stat primary weapons in different parts of the ship"
the primary front guns are obviously more powerful than the rear, thus the title. and you cant have a turret slot on the ARC since the rear turret was not meant to shoot 360.
