Gonna be running the Force and Destiny beginner game soon (and the Lure of the Lost bonus campaign if all goes well.) Any tips for GMing it? I've only got experience of GMing from a lot of playing (ie, I don't.) but I've read through it all and feel reasonably confident.

Only thing is, heard a lot about giving players lightsabers that early being pretty OP, and the final baddies being pushovers. Advice?

>>
>>43931870

This may well depend on the players' tastes, but lightsabers need not be the most interesting part of playing Jedi. These budding Force-users are negotiating an ancient tradition which has nearly been stamped out-- theirs are the moral and philosophical questions which, by dint of the nature of the Force, can have real and tangible consequence.
>>
>>43932126
That's entirely true, I suppose. I was just more worrying about it from a balance / pacing point of view but I see there are so many parts to pimp sabers with anyway. I might start them with training lightsabers, or we'll, when they're supposed to get sabers, give them training ones instead. Thanks for the input.

My players want me to run a star wars game and I've read that the FFG versions are the best, but what are the differences between Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force & Destiny?
Are they different games or are they
all supplements to the same game?
The only one I've ever heard about is EotE.

>You merely adopted the darkside
Isn't it actually sort of an unspoken narrative rule that fallen Jedi become better sith than sith who might have been born into some kind of sith order? Or just in general a jedi or sith who understands their opposite tends to be stronger in their chosen side?

Or does it only tend to seem that way just because a former jedi can recognize how other jedi would think and can plan accordingly?
>>
>>43932249
Sheev is arguably one of the most powerful Sith ever and was never a Jedi. Fallen Jedi keep coming up because the fall of a Jedi often leads to a resurgence of the Sith after a period of decline or near extinction.
>>
>>43932222
They're all the same game pretty much.

My groups using them all pretty much to play.

EotE is for playing Smugglers, Pirates, etc...

AoR is for playing as Rebels

F&D is for playing full on force users, more importantly, Jedi.

Would it be weird for a jedi to actually attend officer training when the clone wars start? Seems like they really took to flinging themselves into the role of general none of them were trained for.
>>

>>
>>43932395
It wouldn't be too far-fetched, though given how the Clone-era OJO acted, they would probably bring officer training to the students rather than sending students to an academy to mingle with the muggles. It would probably also be a way for older Jedi to ensure that the rookies are taught to not act on carnal instincts at the first sighting of Gilad Pellaeon's mustache.
>>

Was the GP rocking the 'stache during the Clone Wars?

>>
>>43932653
If the images on the Wook are any indication, yes, the 'stache was around even then. Unsurprising, since it's the source of his powers. I'm convinced that he was born with the 'stache or that the 'stache is the real Pellaeon and the meatbag is just the host organism.

It's post-Ruusan, so while our GM promised us dark siders to fight, it's doubtful they'll actually be Sith, since the Sith went into hiding for the next 1,000 years after Ruusan.

And for the power, tree is to the left, minor spoilers:
Basic gist is that you find a holocron in an attacked ship, and have to go around grabbing crystals with stored knowledge of the power on it, basically accessing more of the power's tree as you go. Crystals can also be turned into lightsaber crystals when the players are done with them if they chose, I think it didn't specify any specific stats unlike when it gives recommendations for other characters if you use knight level play, so they're just meant to be Ilum by default I guess.

If I took off that weird bug armor, would you die?
>>
>>43935694
I'd need to check again, but I think it has only really basic attachments on it, some sort of face distorter, and a vocal changer that makes the user sound like the first Pirate Queen. Mask itself is just a crown essentially and gets passed down to candidates deemed worthy by her and the council that know that the Pirate Queen isn't an immortal being. So the rest of the people in the gang don't know the truth. And use of decoy masks is used to throw PCs off on finding the Queen the first time.

The character isn't really anything really big or special outside of just being pirate gang ruler.

>I do and don't understand how anyone who likes Star Wars can hate Jedi.

I want to field this question, because I do.

My two reasons are simple.

1) When I watched star wars as a kid, the magic and lightsticks were not what appealed to me. It was the ships! X-Wings, TIE Fighters, the Millenium Falcon - the Ep4 death star battle was the coolest shit I had ever seen. I built scale models of every star wars ship, and had multiples of X-Wings, and Y-Wings, specifically so I could mock each up with kill flags, battle damage, squadron markings. I was a kid who loved military things, and I was enthralled with WW2 air combat - star wars was that for me, but in space. The force, jedi, and lightsabers was cool, but never as cool as the other things.

2) Jedi were, in my opinion, at thier best when you didn't know what they were. They got ruined by the prequel trilogy. Alluva sudden, they went from being Knights, guardians of peace and order, to being emotionaless buddhist monks with no humanity, and an complete inability to relate to people on any kind of emotional level. Different portrayals have gone to fix this - TCW for instance - but they became really insufferable in the PT.

Tales of the Jedi did a much better job of rep'ing Jedi as knights, and its one of the portrayals I like the most - it also did something the Jedi NEEDED - that being, a much more diverse philosophy based on who was doing the training. By making Jedi stuck in a single temple, subject to a single code, they became a stagnant group. But, from what I gather, Yoda is the most the blame for that (as is Odan-Urr).

But the one thing that makes me HATE Jedi, is that the Force\Jedi is a plot point that is at the center of EVERY star wars story. Only in the EU can you really escape that, but most of the time, its still there, if only tangentially. Both X-Wing series had a force sensitive - one became a Jedi, and bless Allston, because his FS barely ever did anything force related.
>>
>>43937458
To be fair, most of the jedi council are unaccounted for, we only had the ones we actually cared about verified as dead.

>That feel when the only emotion you had in episode III was when Ki-adi, Plo, and Fisto bought it.

That boner kill when Secura bought it

Continued...

I hate the way Jedi a dn The Force are either forced or shoehorned.

And the last thing - everyone in a star wars RPG ALWAYS wants to be Jedi, or Force Sensitive. And why? Because Powers and Lightsaber - it has nothing to do with code, discipline, or public service - its always about being a space wizard with a mary sue glowing sword.

Or worse, they want to be Dark Jedi or Sith, and being even more mary sue

Or the absolute worst, they want to be grey jedi and use both, and the mary sue'st of them all.

There is also this disgusting idea that only Jedi\Force Sensitives can do anything heroic, because this is how the media portrays them. Only the Jedi\FS matter in the plot.


So yes, I hate this.

I've personally always wanted to be the scoundrel dude a la Han probably because in real life I'm a lonely neckbeard so I totally get where you are coming from. Hell even when I play a force sensitive I want to be gun guy who doesn't understand what these weird powers he sometimes has rather than a full on Jedi. That being said I don't really get full-on hating Jedi: there's more than enough room in Star Wars to have non-Jedi heroes and stories.

IMOPH, Lightsabers become that much harder to take seriously, the more you fuck with the basic formula.

Also, a character should be happy and satisfied to even have a basic lightsaber - and if they are a Jedi, a basic lightsaber should be all they need - Sith can be much more creative, but I dont allow Sith PC's, so there is that.

A lightsaber should be special. A player who has one should be very respectful of it. The more you treat it like a tool that you SHOULD have, the less important it becomes. A lightsaber is not owed to a PC, even if they are a Jedi. Therefore, respect one when you have it, and stop trying to improve upon the design just to stand out.

Taken to an extreme, you eventually get bullshit like pic related. In my opinion, innovation, if it leads to tech heresy, should be countered and fought at all costs.

I seriously dislike Jedi. So, if I have any in my game, I make sure that the people playing one have a serious respect of what they are playing, and dont fuck it up with edgehog bullshit. Of my experience, most players are not mature enough to take all that power seriously. The last PC I had who was just a force sensitive (in an EotE game), bitched the entire game "am i ever gonna get my lightsaber?" and proceeded to use force powers to make every combat completly meaningless. Keep in mind, he spent all his start exp on buffing move object, and then spent all his in-game exp to buff move object, specifically so he could do 50 damage every turn. He made every character combat irrelevant, and openly didn't give a single fuck about dark side points - he only stopped being flagrantly retarded about when i started crimping everyones destiny points.

I hate fun if that fun is derived through purely fucktarded methods, at my expense, and everyone elses

Hate to say it but you're not helping your case.

I have only one thing to say to people who hate Jedi: deal with it. Jedi and the Force are and always have been the heart of the mythology and if you don't like that tough. Yes the PT and the EU didn't do us any favors with how they were presented. But Star Wars is not a tacticool military sci Fi franchise. It isn't Ace Combat in space. There's stuff that can scratch that itch but if you want that to be the soul of SW and want to force it on others then you should just not run Star Wars games

Right there with you buddy. I don't hate jedi but god dammit there are way nore interesting things going on in the star wars universe then space wizards.
And from a fluff point of view i don't understand why everyone doesn't hate the jedi. They are a militant religous cult that is intertwined with the ruling power to a retarded level. They bullshit about peace but a major part of there faith revolves around using a specific, and over powered weapon.
To top that of, nearly every major war is jedi vs sith. And i really wouldn't blame the general public for not veing able to tell the two apart. Billions and billions of innocent people dying because of some religious conlfict that has nothing to do with them.
How could any republic citizen see these people as good guys?

Just because you CAN do something does not mean you SHOULD do something. This is actually a huge crux of the Jedi philosophy and important to the Morality system. RAW you can murder people real good with Autofire weapons, should you answer all your problems with "more gun"? No, that causes problems. Obligation racks up, you get a bad rep. There's FTL comms in Star Wars, people who do bad shit will end up with the Death Mark in 16 systems. People start talking about "Jedi" and bad things happen.

You're mad at a guy for doing crazy actions a lot and minmaxing something, but you're not using the proper consequences for actions, you're here bitching about "man, I sure do hate jedi"

Not exactly a good example outside of Assault Horizon. The main Ace Combat series throws tacticool out the window and piles on the mythology, fantasy, trench runs, WVR combat, and batshit crazy superweapons. It's basically Star Wars with Eagles and Flankers in place of X-wings and TIEs.

It's fine if you're okay with min/max-ing, but somebody freely roaming around doing things that'd get them as high-value targets amongst the Empire, is an entirely different thing. Throwing out consequences for continuous reckless bad actions is a good reason why the player continued to do what he was doing.

Thats all i can remember. I have had a few jedi\FS characters that were cool though. One guy played an Antarian Ranger who was jedi dropout, and had a bit of force powers, but was basically a paladin commando. Another guy was a wookie jedi during a clone wars campaign who was pretty much party healer - dude did the voice and everything - and in the end, sacrificed himself against a dark jedi so the party of clones could escape.

In my upcoming AoR campaign, I'm letting two people play Jedi - notably an Apprentice of Rahm Kota, and a Jensaraai.

They had twenty masters leave the order.

Twenty. Over the course of the thousands of years the Jedi had occupied the Jedi Temple, just twenty left.

Even accounting for stuff prior to that and whatever knights occasionally go rogue... it's extremely fucking rare. Like, once every couple hundred years type of rare. And very few of those get beyond the point of being able to take over a single planet.

>Someday your good group will come

I have a good group, they just get dumb when it comes to star wars.

And its not even really the group - its always usually just one guy, even if it isnt the same guy. Everyone plays perfectly normal awesome characters, and one guy tries to push the limit of acceptable concepts, by adding things that dont belong.

Now, with F&D, I can just say "if it aint in the RAW, you cant have it" as far as lightsabers are concerned. And even then, whats presented in RAW F&D isn't even things I have any issue with.

My upcoming campaign, I;m nervous as fuck about, because everyone is basically EotE\AoR characters, except for the two jedi. I worry that they are going to make everyone else completly irrelevant - although I did my best to sidestep that, by having everyone do a specific job aboard their Corvette - one Jedi leads the marines, and the other hasn't decided - but the other characters are all pilot, engineer, quartermaster, etc. So, everyone is relevant, and likely the Jedi wont have much to do during space combat (which is a problem in and of itself, but I havent figured out how to fix that)
>>
>>43938915
>I worry that they are going to make everyone else completely irrelevant
Even min-maxed Jedi end up being extremely specialized. Changing up the encounters and giving out varied non-combat scenarios will keep the rest of the party relevant throughout the campaign, especially since muggles will usually spend XP to branch out into other trees.

Darth Caedus.
Darth Krayt.
All ex-jedi and all of them threw the entire galaxy into chaos everytime they rose up.
And everytime it happens the Jedi Militarise and smack them down, killing millions and billions in the process.
And the 20 jedi masters thing is rubbish. The jedi made a habit of suppressing knowledge of the sith, especially from themselves so know knows how many fell to the darkside and carved out there own little empires.

I like stories about powerful characters where a big part of the limitation that's placed on them is that it's difficult/inappropriate to use their power and Jedi do that really well

Why Qui-Gon will never be on the council, the post.

I disagree. I feel like the force responds to emotion. If you power it with positive emotion, you get generally "light side" effects - if you power it with negative, you get "dark side" effects - if you power it with no emotion, you get...stuff. But the Force can siren call from either side. Its all relative to the person

I hate this shit. If there's a Dark Side subset of The Force, what do you refer to the subset that is not the Dark Side if not its logical opposite, the Light Side, if "The Force" refers to the entire thing? What do you say for "The Force except not the Dark Side"?

I actually don't give a shit, I think it's childish and stupid that something like shooting lightning or choking someone or screaming really loud is somehow a "Dark Side technique" while force fields, stunning droids or precognition are inherently "Light Side techniques". The Force grants you telekinetic powers and choking someone with that is an immoral abuse of that power but it's not a video game with a "Force Choke" skill. There is simply The Force and how you use it, no Dark Side, no Light Side. DS/LS are just terms used in Jedi/Sith philosophy for different understandings of how to use your power.
>>
>>43939547
>>43939574

The Force is not a dualistic force

The Force is a single, unified power. Like Obi-Wan said - it's the energy that binds us all together

The Jedi way is about detaching yourself, so that you don't interfere with that pattern, but get to share in it and understand it to a greater degree than the normal person, which makes you wise.

The Sith way is about cockslapping the rest of the universe to get your way. It's about giving into desire at the expense of everyone else in the universe and, ultimately, at your own expense. Because the universe will, without fail, right itself and continue downstream with or without you, but if you rock the boat you're gonna get wet.

>>43939574
The term "light side" was never used once in the films. That's entirely an EU creation.

In the films, at least in the first six because fuck you JJ for adding The Light Side as a thing, there is just the Force, and the dark side.

The closest you get to there being a "light side" in the films is Yoda telling Luke that they're luminous beings, not crude matter.

Force "lightning" is a bit of a special case, though. It's not actually *electricity*, but more of the user thinking "I wish I could hate this guy to a slow and painful death" and the dark side obliging. It's not "call lightning", it's beams of hate radiation

Your intentionally using the force to hurt and kill people - negativity begets negativity. Also, and this is where I disagree with general interpretations of the force - you need to channel hate and negativity to even get the force to do those things - the ends do not justify the means in this case. The means are what you live with, and what ultimately fucks you up. And, you will always have more ends to justify your fall.

>The Jedi way is about detaching yourself, so that you don't interfere with that pattern, but get to share in it and understand it to a greater degree than the normal person, which makes you wise.

I argue that doing this completely removes your humanity, and you really stop caring about things.

The ideal Jedi isn't detached. The prequel OJO is far from a good representation of what a Jedi should be. Look at Luke instead. He had friends, family, and bonds. He and his loved ones would fight and die for one another, but he never let his emotions get in the way of doing what was right. He redeemed Vader through compassion, not through stoicism.

It's not about giving up your emotions. It's about not being a slave to them.

>>43939612
>The closest you get to there being a "light side" in the films is Yoda telling Luke that they're luminous beings, not crude matter.
I'd argue that's not even what he's saying. He's not even really commenting on the nature of the Force, he's saying..... okay, let me bring in John Darnielle for this:
>And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
>'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
(from Isaiah 45:23)
So yeah, he's saying that you ARE a soul, you HAVE a body and that Luke should stop just thinking in the here and now of meatspace and think about more than just what's in front of him.
>>
>>43939643
>I argue that doing this completely removes your humanity, and you really stop caring about things.
Yeah, that was kind of the OJO's downfall.
The NJO sees things kind of different; if you desire to good, the force will help you along and allow you to do otherwise impossible things

You are both 100% correct. When a jedi goes sith its all bad. My argument definitely wasn't pro sith. They are so much worse but at least they aren't pretending to be the high and mighty good guys.
The argument is that by giving powerful force users free reign with minimal oversight is always going to end badly. The failure to punish those who transgress against the galaxy. Kyp Durron destroyes an inhabited solor system. Ben Skywalker assassinates an innocent man.
But its okay because they learnt there lesson.
On top of that is fact that you are allowing this group to literally change people minds as they see fit.
"You want to go home and rethink your life" is a massive violation of that beings free will. Im pretty sure no one here would like some so called good guy to walk in an literally mind rape you for your own good.
Jedi should just fade from politics and go sit in a monestry worshiping the force and leave the galaxy alone.
Either thay ir they submit to authority that can actually control them
>>
>>43939665

I didn't say "inhuman" - I said "lacking humanity" - I really should have said "lacking empathy"

With no emotion, you stop caring about other people.

As for Buddhist Monks, its a bad analogy. Buddhist Monks have both been terrorists in the past, and worked for peace - the famous image of the Monk burning himself to protect Vietnam, had nothing to do with the war, but the fact that the South Vietnam regime was putting native buddhists to death (the president of RVN was a hardcore catholic)

>>43939739
Luke literally is the ideal Jedi

He's capable of detachment but still feels compassion. He understands that others are worthy of respect and love. THAT'S the ideal Jedi - observing and understanding without allowing desire to rule you but still acting when you need to.
>>
>>43939705
Oh absolutely - and that's the point; there's no such thing as the light side when it comes to George's creations.

>>43939734
Kyp Durron's situation was all sorts of fucked and it doesn't make sense that he wasn't really punished, I'll agree. Can't speak about Ben Skywalker, because I don't even want to try and venture beyond Vector Prime.

But you're also fundamentally misunderstanding the Jedi Mind Trick. It's not mind control. It's suggestions. "Hey, dude, selling drugs? Not the best life plan. Why don't you go think about this and see if you can try and change it" is basically all Obi-Wan said. It's not mind-rape at all, until they make it so (and there's even a scene depicting this in a very worrying way in TCW).

And yes, it's a huge issue that the Jedi got themselves too wrapped up in the politics of the Republic. That's a significant part of Dooku's backstory, that he's fed up with the Jedi playing politicians.

For sure. Jedi are individuals and an individual's approach to enlightenment is going to be different every time, in the same way that no two Buddhists are likely to have the exact same approach. That's how Buddhism is supposed to work. Obviously, not all Buddhists are good at being Buddhists, just like not all Jedi are good at being Jedi, but ideal behaviors do still exist.

It's simple. We teach Luke Skywalker and Kyle Katarn the fusion dance.
>>
>>43939810
I imagine that talking to older Luke would involve him listening to everything you say as if it's the most interesting thing he's ever heard.

Also, he'd be able to do that thing where he's just no longer where you thought he was when you try to hit him. Like the Silver Horde.
>>43939881
>He's still an individual
So were the members of the OJO, if you remember. They're all emotionally stunted, but they're still individuals.
And notice how the stories of Star Wars work, no matter who it's about, Jedi, smugglers, pilots, Imperials; it is individuals who make the difference, not interchangeable, faceless automatons.
That's why the clones, despite being identical, all have characterization.
>>
>>43939739
>With no emotion, you stop caring about other people.

And that's not what the Jedi are about. Anakin says it himself, that the Jedi are all about compassion, unconditional love for others.

You're looking at the Jedi Code and interpreting it far too strictly even for how ridiculous the revised code is.

The original is "X, yet Y."

>Emotion, yet peace.

Acknowledging that emotions exist, that they affect the way you think and act, but also admitting that you can step back, take a breath, and try and work things through as neutrally as possible, not letting your emotions cloud your judgment.

Odan-Urr's rewrite is the one that takes it to the extreme, "there is no emotion, there is peace," but even still in context it's not "you are an unfeeling robot."

I don't think im misinterpereting the Mind Trick. And its not just the mind trick. The council completely mind wiped Revan and built him a new personality that they liked more. But back to the mind trick.
If you are using force to make someone think something, aldo making them think it was there own idea, then that os a massive violation of that being free will. You have free will so you can make mistakes and if you make mistakes you will most likely pay for them. In the deathstick dealer case, all he had to say was "you don't want to sell ke deathsticks" and the dude would have gone of on his merry way to suffer the consequences of being adrug dealer. Instead Obiwan took away his choice. Because Obiwan though he knew better. He was a drug dealer and no one cared but truthfully it was a massive violation of his being.
And the Dresden reference is good because The Dresden Files always harps on about how important choice is. That its i what makes mortals special because they can actually choose their fate, and no one should take that away from them.

And he still had the free-will to go right back to being a sith master.

Nothing about Revan changed after the Jedi were done with him. He was still charismatic, a great leader, and deeply invested in doing things because reasons.

>I don't think im misinterpereting the Mind Trick.

Yeah, you really are.

The mind trick is just that - it's just a trick. It's not possessing someone, it's not mind control. It's stronger persuasion - and that's it.

It's not Obi-Wan saying "go home and do something besides sell deathsticks," it's him saying "don't sell me deathsticks. Think about what you're doing, is it really what you want to be doing?" And you know what? In Legends, he went right back to selling death sticks after that.

>The council completely mind wiped Revan and built him a new personality that they liked more. But back to the mind trick.

They mindwiped Revan but that's it. They didn't rebuild his personality, they just wiped his memories of who he was and what he'd done. They didn't alter him otherwise, and it was a last-ditch effort for them to do so and something they likely wouldn't have done if it was in any other situation.
>>
>>43940074
You are, though. The mind trick is described as basically making the individual using it seem extremely charismatic, not literally commanding someone's mind (though the sith do occasionally do literally that, but that's the sith)

Not necessarily okay from the wiped person's POV, but given how badly Revan could have fucked over the galaxy, it still comes out as a net good action for the rest of the galaxy. Revan is no longer a Sith Lord and the probability that he'll work for the good of the galaxy is theoretically increased.

Thats implying that Revan wasn't of a soldier mindset to begin with.

Your basically stating that Revan, was a genuinly nice guy who solved all his problems with words.

And ya know what? Your right - that kinda Revan was probably a Jedi Consular, and then after the wipe, was a Smuggler on the Endar Spire.

Your forgetting the point that Revan was basically whatever the player wanted him to be

It's not an intrusion. That's where your misunderstanding is.

The Jedi aren't poking about in your brain, hotwiring it and making it so you are more accepting of commands they give you. It's a temporary boost to their charisma, and it doesn't even work on everyone anyway.

True, but what other choice did the KOTOR-era Jedi have?

>Kill him
Doesn't change much, and it still leaves Malak and his army at large. It's likely that the Jedi were drained by so many members siding with Revan and Malak, as well as the Mandalorian War casualties. Given Malak's magical ability to stun you without fail as long as you enter a cutscene, the Jedi would have been hard-pressed to stop him.

>Put him on trial
Revan's charisma makes that a risky proposition at best and keeping him detained and powerless would likely be tough.

>Redeem him the usual way
Not guaranteed to work, and the memory of his past would likely still haunt or tempt Revan. The time this would take and the lack of Sith being carved up in the process would also probably make this cost-ineffective.

Revan's competence and player character status made him too valuable an asset to destroy or put at moral risk. The mind wipe was the Jedi Order's best shot at taking down Malak and retaining one of their most competent members. It's not a pretty choice by any means, but shit happens sometimes.

Even more, they didn't completely erase all of his memories (if they had that capability at all). His homeworld was the same as Revans IIRC, and he kept getting those convenient memories of the Star Forge, which was the most important reason for keeping him alive. The Jedi had no clue how the Sith remained so powerful and well-supplied despite coming from out of nowhere. Letting the ever-curious Revan rediscover his own memories and retrace his steps was their only shot at discovering the Star Forge.

Just played Armada. Ran 4 corvettes all with enhanced armaments and Ackbar in an assault frig. Holy crap, I'm told that's sub optimal in a few regards but it still just melted the ships like nothing and could maneuver to wherever the hell they wanted, was just circling the whole field like flies (ambush objective put them the enemy right in a very not ideal center position) and dishing out 5 red dice each, 6 from the frigate.

If that was considered a poor list, I'm terrified of what Ackbar is going to do on an ideal list. The meta of this game might have shifted way too hard in 1 direction.

It's closer to the M14, but even then, it's a shaky comparison seeing as the DC has a shot capacity more in line with an assault rifle or LMG.

It's Poe Dameron and BB-8. They're the new guys, they get the new cutaways. Also, Poe's X-Wing has BB-8 in it at some point in the film, just as some older cutaways have Luke in his X-Wing with R2-D2 in it. We probably already have cutaways of R2 and R5 units in older Star Wars books as well, so this one is for the new stuff.
>>
>>43940759
we'll have to see how the meta goes. We got a lot of toys to play with, and a build like that will melt just as its melting. you might want to consider swapping out enhanced armament for slaved turrets though, just a heads up! Considering you'll normally be firing out only one side with Ackbar, might as well save a few points and maybe add in a few other upgrades. Only keep enhanced armament if you think you can regularly get shots out of both sides.
