There's also Flechette Cannons, and something called a "Mangler" Cannon. I want oh so desperately to know what those do.

Is there a nicer shot of the wave 1 ships I can use for the OP? The one we've got is fine...but it really stands out compared to the fun formation-over-space-feature pics of the other waves.

Has anyone who's repainted stuff had issues with just undercoating straight onto the mini and painting over? Yes. I prefer painting straight on top of the factory paint. Undercoating is fine but I feel it is easy to make the coating too thick and obscure the paneling grooves.

 Those Z-95s have a 1 skill pilot. 11 point Z-95s ahead. Nine ship lists imminent.

So it's great they're coming out with so much stuff for this great game, but maybe they ought to come out with Rebel Aces first and do one thing at a time. I just want Rebel Aces to come out already

It's not like wave 5 and 6 have delayed Rebel Aces at all. If I recall, RA is on the boat already. It's done, developed, manufactured, and is being shipped back to the states. This is the stuff coming out after RA, not preempting it.

The Falcon list has no way to ensure hits on Soontir and Whisper really. No gunners! 4 of us from MN made the trip and went 7th, 8th, 12th, and 15th, so that was pretty cool. Incredible competition in pretty much every game. And and awesome blend of metas!

Makes me think though..,with 3 factions now, think we'll get more ships per wave in the future? Or still 4 ships with an asymmetrical distribution between the factions?

Double Falcons are gayer than Phantoms, the amount of frustration long-time Rebel players direct at me for using a Phantom really is offset by how obnoxious the Falcon is.

So for the more math - inclined goons out there: what does the Accuracy Corrector mean for shot statistics? Is there a scenario when making a shot normally makes sense?

Some sperg did it on the FFG forums but basically it's of questionable use on ships which have the Systems Upgrade slot, only because they all have 3 attack anyway. It would be mega good on a two attack ship, however. The dude on the forum also speculated that it might be good on the Shuttle, there was another ship he thought it might be good on but I don't usually care for that anyway.

So what I'm hearing is that lord vader desperately needs a systems slot so he can keep barrel rolling and passing out candy to his friends. Lemon Curdistan posted:Thanks, it's stuff like this I wanted to know. It'd be easier for me to spray on the basecoat though, since I plan on painting it white - have you had any experience using an airbrush? I've had some but never with primer. I prefer brushing on the primer and I feel even the Vallejo brush-on primer had to be watered down to make it thin enough to not obscure anything. I used black primer - I don't know the white primer's characteristics.

Just saw the news report about scum on FFG. It's really annoying that the y-wing has extra cards to cover at least one extra model but the z-95s do not. Might have to do a bit of trading with people who buy the scum set and don't have the original z-95 cards.

The HWK would love it, makes it a lot less useless since it's one dice becomes two hits for 3 points. Might actually start seeing HWKs once S&V is released.
