Some Numbers posted:Can someone remind me what a purple maneuver is? There's not actually rules for it yet, but there are purple maneuvers on the new jedi fighter and references to it on upgrade cards. The assumption is that you must spend a force to do the purple maneuver. Presumably there will be a penalty for not having an active force charge when you do them, although that should be rare given how few opportunities there are to spend force between regenerating one at the end of the round and performing your maneuver. We'll find out for sure when they update the rules, which will hopefully be no later than the official release date of the product.

It's nice to see something that can help the Republic's somewhat anemic offense. The faction sorely lacks ships with 3 attack dice and, until the LAAT, it didn't really have a way to make those 2-die attacks count.

A buddy of mine is flying a generic Y-wing with 7th fleet gunner, dorsal and a bunch of CLT jedi. 5 dice at range 1 in bullseye is pretty powerful since the CLT focus die gets around the "4 dice max" rule of 7th fleet.

My guess for purple maneuvers: "During the 'reveal your dial' phase, you may spend one force to change your revealed maneuver to purple. A purple maneuver does not gain or remove stress."

I thought they already specified that purple maneuvers just cost 1 Force on the Twitch stream from the end of July? They don't clear stress. They even said how they work with Damaged Engine, though I don't recall the specifics.

Are they planning on reissuing dials for existing ships? I figure they’ll want the existing Jedi pilots and ships to be able to use them.....

The eta-2 has purple maneuvers. I think that’s the only one we’ve seen.

Hmm I'm surprised by initiative on "Fiver". Isn't the 2.0 term pilot skill?

You have it backwards. Pilot skill was 1.0, where initiative meant player order. Now it’s 1st Player and Initiatives 1-6 (technically 0 and 7 too).

If I remember correctly, you spend a force to perform purple maneuvers with no penalty. Otherwise they work like red maneuvers.

We can just start the countdown clock until there's a way to get Sideslip on to other platforms.

Man, Sideslipping is the coolest addition to the game I've seen so far. I'm totally fine with that becoming a thing for other ships.

"granting the HMP Droid Gunship unprecedented maneuverability." *frowns in Echo* Countdown to Synched Cannons being the ultimate tease and then priced prohibitively.

The Brute might have a niche as a platform for synched laser cannons, but otherwise it's uninspiring.

Hi X-Wing goons. I'm extremely late to the party but I finally got conversion kits for Rebellion and Empire and a 2e core set. However, I am still personally disinterested in any ship that didn't appear in the movies (don't @ me). Thus I have a large number of dials and cards that are of no interest to me. Most of the conversion kits really  . Would any goons be interested in making a deal? I'd be looking to lose every component from the conversion kits other than those for XABY-wings, the Falcon, Sabine's TIE, and the ARC-170 on the Rebel side. Everything other than TIE Fighter/Bomber/Interceptor, Vader's TIE, and Lambda shuttle on Imperial side.Hey waitaminute the Empire can't use Fett any more? Note: I do not own models to match the component kit parts listed, so I'm not offering models (unless I have more X Wings and TIE fighters than a single squad can hold right now after getting the new core, haven't checked). It's really just the dials and cards and whatever from the conversion kits. Again I know I'm really late to this and you're probably all supplied, but I'm willing to let the items go very cheap or in trade for some more dials and stuff for the ships I like.

However, I am still personally disinterested in any ship that didn't appear in the movies (don't @ me). When all else fails, you can often sell a ship's worth of stuff from the conversion kit for about five bucks on ebay (or market of your choice). Don't need K-Wing stuff? Ebay it. I'd keep ALL the stuff for your movie ships though. Points change and how many of each thing you can fly may change, too.

The TIE Striker, Reaper, and the YT-2400 all appeared in the movies pretty much as long as the TIE Bomber did (all it really did was bomb an asteroid)
