Imperial Assault just got news of its next wave today.
>BT-1
>Triple-Zero
>Jawas
>Hera

My chassis is ready. The only thing missing is Aphra. I'm honestly surprised Hera and Chopper were the first ones we got from the Ghost crew. FFG has given us every reason to expect Sabine first.

>>51196698
Yes, you should! Get the Restored content mod as well. It's best through Steam, as LucasArts put out a stabilizing update a while back that allows it to play on something more modern than win XP

>Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

So this doesn't need to mean "fight everyone all the time."

What do the Jedi value? Inner peace. Serenity. Centered thoughts.

Peace is a lie - the Jedi are just navel gazing. They've convinced themselves that by clearing their minds they somehow approach great cosmic truth, when in fact, they only approach great cosmic stupidity.

By denying the experience of the mind, the experience of life itself, the Jedi have isolated themselves from the universe. They are a dead end, an aberration, and a lie.

>>51196794
Maybe sometime before Episode I? We only know about a few of Bane's Sith, so there's a lot of wiggle room.

>>51196885

There's always the period after KOTOR proper, where there's just a bunch of petty Sith warlords fucking around.

>>51196813
There's more than six enlisted ranks in most militaries, anon

>>51196813
Based on just the X-Wing novels, the Starfighter Command ranks from "Group Captain" down are incorrect. Commanders are higher up than Captains. "Pilot" should also be amended to "Flight Officer." Other existing Legends ranks include Major, Colonel, and General, though their placement on the rank scale is a bit fuzzy. Stackpole and Allston used a mix of naval and army terminology for Starfighter Command.

To be fair, there are usually only about six interesting ranks.

The rest are moot for the purposes of an RPG, unless you have ex-military players who also love pointless detail.

The Defenders and Gammas should be able to pop a Captain Jonus before the raider gets to shoot, right? I don't want to get Turbolasered too hard.
Alternatively, I could bring a swarmier list. I have the following imperial ships to work with, and I'd like to bring the Gozanti. Is there anything better I could do at 300?
Having 10 ships seems like it's not enough, even if they are fairly durable.

So I just started looking into to EoTE and noticed that there's an option to play with normal dice instead of the special ones, is this advisable?

It would be a pain in the ass always comparing it to the conversion tables. You'd be better off getting the dice app.

Depends on the skill of your group, I suppose.

"Too gimmicky" seems like a way of saying "requires different storytelling tools than humans," and you're implying you don't really want to learn those tools.

That's fine and all, but it's kind of lazy too.

Similarly, playing an alien who has six eyes breathes methane and constantly going "I HAVE SIX EYES and I BREATHE METHANE!" is lazy on the part of the player.

>>51197360
>>51197363
what platform would you guys recommend for an online game? Roll20? IRC?

Is there a way to get more dice at once, instead of just buying multiple packs? I was going to use the conversion tables but if it's too annoying, like is being said in this thread, I was just wondering because of how few dice there are in each pack.

I know, fourteen dice isn't really that few, but I've got a group that both doesn't share dice well and has people rolling for things at the same time or, if they don't, forgetting what they're supposed to be rolling.

>>51197780
Oh, and I'd prefer physical dice over the app, because my players are also a combination of unemployed people and cheapskates, so I'd be the only one with the app. We also don't like phones floating around the table since one fell and broke when someone was sharing a picture.

>>51197639
Roll20 works pretty great, but the GM has to pay for the fancy dice to work.

Any logs of EoTE games?

How would I build up a stormtrooper stat block to a SCAR trooper?

Why do I keep getting autists in my game? I cant even run an Imperial game that my party wanted without it devolving into either memes, no one deciding on what to do, or general forgetfulness in games.

>>51201278
Start planning for the inevitable point where they know too much or fuck up somehow and get targeted for elimination.

Is it said in the new canon how the ancient Jedi were like? I'm hoping they're more like mystic monks dealing with the Force instead of self righteous ''guardians of truth and justice''.

Woops, meant to say: a year ago, a month from now, yesterday.

hey /swg/ i need your advice: up until recently i only played x-wing in a casual setup with friends, and all was good. but a short while ago i started going to my flgs to play pickup games there.

now to my actual question: the store-meta is very heavy on very few very fat ships, and particularly fat dash is very prevalent. i personally like flying 3-6 ships in my squads with 1 or 2 aces and some "cheap crap" to bolster my ranks and i'm having a lot of trouble dealing with those lists. what are some good ways to deal with this?

tl;dr: how to deal with fat dash and similar elite builds using bigger squads?

I've found a few B-Wings, led by Farlander or Nubb, with your chosen form of torps and guidance chips to be pretty good at utterly obliterating lists which only bring 1 or two fat ships to the table in about 2 turns of firing.

>>51202256
well, i must admit that i am not too familiar with flying b-wings. i assume "nubb" is meant to be "numb"? if not who is nubb?
the problem that i foresee though is that the high mobility of especially dash combined with the fairly high pilot skill of a "fat" build would make it pretty hard to properly align a torpedo strike (since you need to get target locks in place before he moves, meaning he could arcdodge pretty well)

>>51202156
I know your pain. My local group mostly plays casual lists. I personally like low level dogfights. But we have 2 guys that just love their big ship meta-builds, one of which is Dash, Corran Horn and Wedge. I've had some success against that combo with a list I found online.

"Deathrain" — TIE Punisher 26
Enhanced Scopes 1
Extra Munitions 2 Ion Pulse Missiles 3
Proximity Mines 3
Proximity Mines 3
Autothrusters 2 Ship Total: 40

"Redline" — TIE Punisher 27
Accuracy Corrector 3
Extra Munitions 2 Cluster Missiles 4
Cluster Missiles 4
Ion Bombs 2 Autothrusters 2
Ship Total: 44

"Dark Curse" — TIE Fighter 16 Ship Total: 16

You could probably sub out one of the punishers (deathrain, most likely) for a couple of Defenders and still achieve the same result.

I'm the military player and I don't give a shit about that sort of fidelity. If I wanted it to be entirely correct, you'd just have Crewman 3rd Class through 1st Class and Private 3rd Class through 1st Class. But there's no point in differentiating for an RPG.

i can see the use for him with his pilot ability, but the simple fact that he will shoot after any of the usual "fat" pilots makes it into a bit of a gamble, since tie fighters aren't exactly known for their defensive capabilities.

Learn blocking. Dash's mobility counts for precisely dick if an Academy pilot lands in his path. He'll get no actions and since you planned it your entire squad is prepared to rip him apart.

Why are bothans the worst?

>>51197780
This is a game where hearing dice is assumed and encouraged. It's better to have one big pile in the middle of the table.
Everyone in our group bought a pack a we just pool them for play.

>>51203343

The less-ambitious ones mostly just surf the holonet and occasionally pick up on decent intel. The more ambitious ones (see our old friend Borsk Fey'lya) are cunning, self-interested, manipulative sons of bitches. They're like political rabid dogs - dangerous to have on your side, but even more dangerous to have against you.

>>51202904
But isn't this just a space technical?

>>51203489

That's more the YT-1300. Or the YV-666.

The VCX is the thing that's got a detachable attack shuttle built into it, numerous gun turrets as standard and more armour than a frigate.

Remember the Falcon is NOT a standard YT-1300.

>>51203125
so essentially "outfly your enemy". the problem is: i'm a total scrub, and that is not an option (telling someone to "get better" won't make him better), so i'm looking for a list-based solution until i git gud, that is

>>51203343
Because they're not even good at gathering information and that's the entire focus of their civilization.

Quick question to the Armadafags. When squadrons or captial ships attack squadrons, do crit icons still count as 1 damage? I know that squadrons can't get critical effects applied to them. Does the icon still count as damage? Or is it ignored entirely?

>>51203660

Been a while since I checked the rules for Armada, but by default, no - they can't be spent for the standard critical effect. However, there are pilots (like Vader IIRC) that can spend the crit icon for any abilities they have. Take that with a grain of salt, though.

>>51203554

Try this:

https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v4!s!204:27,-1,201,2:41:-1:;9:0,-1,-1,69:21:-1:;199:-1,206,203:-1:-1:;64:-1:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron

It's a tinkered variation of something I bought to a store tournement before. If you have it, you can strip everything out of Norra and give her Expertise instead. You save no points but it means you don't have to waste a few turns banking focus with Rey to make her ability work.

You can also trade the Stresshog out for Biggs, but I didn't get my money's worth with him when I tried that on the day.

I suggest Rebels over Imperials and without Palpatine Imperials are 100% reliant on green dice, and your green dice might fail you, conversely I've never seen a Hull point magically stop working.

Another revised Tournement list, the TIE-Defender is pretty interchangeable. Feel free to replace it with Ryad with PTL, or Vessery or even Echo with Swarm Leader and either an ACD or Stygium + Kallus if you think PS6 degrades the ACD's usefullness enough.

Star wars is the pacific theatre, m8. What you should be asking is what's the space Liberator.

>>51203111
Could always take Vader in a Tie Advanced. Short of that you need Rexler and Whisper with appropriate builds. I don't really use defenders or phantoms that often so I'm not the guy to ask.

>the way the game is meant to be played in my opinoin
Right? Cheese battles are fun, once in a while, but there's something deeply satisfying about out planning an opponent on a large, level playing field.

>>51203794
K-wing would be my best guess.

>>51203554
The easiest list in the world is Chiraneau w/ VI, Gunner, Vader, Hot Shot Co-Pilot, engine upgrade and an x7 Defender. Fly in circles, strip tokens, never die.

Flying lots of little ships is hard, but you will git gud if you just play a lot. A tie shuttle or phantom with intel agent can help you learn how to block by peeking at dials.

I know they don't get crit effects applied to them. I am asking, since crit icons count as 1 damage against capitals ships, do they still count as 1 damage when squadrons fire on squadrons, or when capital ships fire on squadrons.

Remember the time the Nazis created a giant moon weapon? No? Oh well then it must have been the Japanese... wait, that didn't happen either.

Now, I'm just going to throw it out there, but maybe Star Wars takes inspiration from a bunch of different sources and shoe-boxing it into a specific theatre in a specific war is just lazy, considering that space samurai and wild west-esque bounty hunters are a regular occurrence in the story.

>>51204101

And the concept of the Death Star kind of fits in with the IJN's 'decisive battle' doctrine. Except it didn't work in either case

>>51204141
>What is the manhattan project?

Also calling the Yamato a super weapon is bit silly, given the fact that this was just after the era of dreadnoughts and battleships were considered the height of Naval strategy.

You do realise they fixed that by the P-38J right?

If you're going to compare Tarkin's folly to a crazy Japanese super weapon then you may as well just compare it to their failed deathray project.

>>51204274
I didn't say I think the Yamato-class was a good idea, but it was intended to be a naval super weapon.

Imagine how many Chi-Tos they could have built with all the steel they beeched for literally nothing.

>>51201673
Greasily, and after payment?

>>51204320
And my point is that it isn't a unique strategy.

>The Vasa, a massive Swedish Man o' War in the 1600s, built under the logic that more guns must be better
>Big Bertha, a Superheavy howitzer developed the german Empire during the first world war
>HMS Dreadnought, the British Navy's new line of superheavy naval vessel, created in the early 1900s

The point is, Empire's are often ruled by leaders that want the biggest gun or the greatest ship ever made. Saying the Yamato is unique in that regard is simply incorrect.

my guess is that over the years there has been a lot of feature creep that now there are so many ways you can deal with superior numbers that it's just not really viable to go for that style anymore...

also flying in formation requires a lot more forethought and strategic thinking, while high PS/high mobility ships can just easily correct their course through proper use of their action economy

I guess I actually need to double-check, since it says "at distance 1." Is a squadron at distance 1 of itself? I assume he is, otherwise Biggs couldn't transfer the damage to himself, because the squadron taking the damage has to be at distance 1, too.

The other half of the equation I'm clear on. Biggs specifies "a friendly squadron" rather than "another friendly squadron," and he is definitely friendly to himself.

That's the most surprising thing for me, as well. You think they would make new sourcebooks for every era they could dig up, as well as for each new movie, but the most we've gotten so far is a starter game for episode 7, and with that they explicitly said they're not going to make a book for resistance vs FO.

It's equally bizarre that they insist on sticking to "right after episode IV"

You're exaggerating, anon. Most of TotJ happens during the Great Sith War, which was only a few decades prior anyway (3996 BBY). And KOTOR is what caused the stagnation in the first place, seeing as the game's whole art style is just PT but lower-res.

What you said

There is a difference. They said right from the start that they were free to use Legends material in new-canon.

I clearly remember reading a book about her. She was a Chalactan jedi consular who worked in the library and preferred meditation and study to "peacekeeping". She often made trips to her homeworld to commune with the Chalactan Adepts. She had a lightsaber hilt carved from a rancor's horn and she was quite skilled at brewing tea. In the story she was charged by Mace Windu with leaving her hugbox and going out into the field to track down a lost holocron with information regarding the Prophecy of the Chosen One. When she first encountered the Dark Side she passed out from the experience. She hadn't used her lightsaber in so long prior to her assignment that it failed to ignite and she had to fight without it. Is it possible all of this was a fantasy fueled by heroin?

>>51208647
Sounds like fanfic to me, anon.

There's Depa Billaba, which you might have gotten confused via the name, but she never had a rancor-horn lightsaber and there was never anything about tea with her past.

The rest of the story you've got there is vaguely similar to Shatterpoint, but that was definitely not the first time she encountered the Dark Side and she never had a problem with her lightsaber.

So yeah, bizarro drug-fueled fantasy, I'm thinking.

Nope. Way too dark and edgy for Star Wars. Play KOTOR 1 if you haven't, that one's great and suitably upbeat, but forget about the second game.

>>51205403
So, does anyone have thoughts on whether I should field the Ackbar fleet (and should I swap in an Assault Frigate for two of the CR90s?) or the Mon Mothma one?

On one hand, the Ackbar list I feel like has more offensive power, but Home One is such a lynchpin. If it goes down, I lose so much of my firepower, both from its big guns and Ackbar. (I suppose I could put Ackbar on the transports and keep them entirely out of the fight, I guess, but that seems like a silly solution.)

On the other hand, the Mon Mothma fleet is much more defensive, and it seems like it would be better at the Hyperlane Raid campaign objective.

X-wing dudes,
Is there any use for the T-70 X-wing or is it just too overcosted to be worth taking ever?

>>51210092
The T70 is one of the best ships in the game, on stats and price. What are you doing that it seems overcosted?

>>51210092

Nah, the T-70 is pretty good. Ello Asty with VI and some shield regen is amazing. Poe is pretty decent but he's kind of reliant on actions so he needs to be fat. Jess is pretty flexible in what you can do and how much she costs.
I haven't used any of the others enough to really comment on their usefulness.

>>51210140
>>51210168
Not him but the metafags seem to think it's a terrible ship.

Personally, fuck the meta

Anyone ever seen Rad? Literally everyone in town are always talking about either BMX or Cru. It rules.

>>51210140
>What are you doing that it seems overcosted?
Just looking at the numbers.
With old school x-wings you can run something like XXBB. Can't do anything close to that with the t-70s.
The extra shield is nice. I'm sure the t-90 benefits more from having R2D2, I just don't know how to fit it into a list.

>>51210182

I think you're getting the T-70 mixed up with just Poe. And Metafags things Poes fucked because of Hotshot Copilot, which isn't an issue for other pilots anywhere near as much.

Plus Hotshot is difficult to fit into the current meta favourite lists right now, sure you could fit it onto a Dengar in a Dengaroo lists, but that means shedding points elsewhere and that lists is pretty lean as is.
As for Palp's aces, where are you going to put him that'll work out. You put it on a Bomber Shuttle and Poe just won't target that shuttle so he'll still get a shot off, and if the Bomber Shuttle is attack last because it's a generic then what's the point? The shuttle? That's supposed to be staying out of trouble?

If anything this brings something to Rebel lists because now you have something that can strip focus off Fel and X-7 Defenders.

>>51210182

Poe regen was pretty dominant for a while, then U-Boats killed it, and "meta" people are concerned Kylo Ren will kill Rebel Regen again in the future (even though Kylo is hard countered by Determination in a time where PS is depressed by /x7 defenders) - but these are the same people who talk about how Palpatine was useless and TIE/D would be better than /x7, so we'll see.

The T-70 has a lot of variety, and it will probably be the cheapest way to get Tech into a rebel list for a while - so that's something, and a lot of the pilots are pretty good. Top tier they might not be, but unless you're going to Worlds or Nationals, "top tier" doesn't really seem to matter. Lunatics are winning regionals with TIE Bombers, Deci+Phantom lists, G1-A lists and I think I heard a guy who did some combination of bs, ys and a z.

>>51210276

HotCops lives and breathes on Decimators with Gunner, as far as I know. Occasionally on a Falcon.

>>51210140

Efficiency-wise, the T-70 is a more expensive X-Wing, and the regular X is probably a pinch overcosted to prevent you running 5 3-ATK naked rookies. So she's a hair overcost. IA evens that out really well, and if they make like a 0-1 point astro that'd be swell.

>>51210252
>With old school x-wings you can run something like XXBB. Can't do anything close to that with the t-70s.
You can play 4x T70 with R2+IA, which in my opinion does a lot better than XXBB or BBBBZ. T70 compared to T65 gives you an extra shield, a Tech slot and a natural Boost, which aside from being a very strong action means it can also take Autothrusters. Talon rolls are about equally useful as a 4-K but in some situations the shorter distance traveled and/or lateral shift is helpful.

>>51210252
The old T-65s are the ones that are overcosted though, compare the lowest generics of the two.
For only three points you get an extra shield, boost, a tech slot, T-rolls, and a green 3 straight.

>>51210252

>XXBB
>Running B-Wings in the current meta

Well THERES your problem.

Look, I love my B-Wing I really do, but it can't survive out any remotely competitive game. Which is a shame as Keyan with Stay on Target, Adv. Sensors and an HLC is tremendous fun.

Alternatively, try A wings instead of B-Wings like this T70-T70-A-A list

I put him on Chewie with Baze Malbus and Rage with a nearby Cassian Andor with Inspiring Recruit on Thursday.

He would not stop killing.

And I'm not talking about Generics either, he near as much fucking one shotted Fel and Inky with that build.

the cartoon would probably work.

Assuming you don't need to do much different than the Rebels art style, you can easily get A, B and Y modeled and hopefully the X - and Imps have Eyeballs, Squints, Dupes and the DEFENDER modeled. Maybe a weird TIE fighter thing or some weird imperial mook, or a vague doomsday device like once a season, you're set.

>>51211060
Not as important as re-canoning Tycho, either way.

>>51211180

In all seriousness though, given how brutal TCW and Rebels have been at times, you could carve a decent episodic narrative scattered with real story arcs about fighter jocks. I'd prefer a Star Wars Netflix series with a tone say, somewhere in-between Rogue One and Marvel's netflix shows, but it could work.

You have space, you have ground. You have characters to sell action figures from all the pilots - some of whom are your everymen and women, others are you quirky aliens, some are your sexy aliens. You've got astromechs out the wazoo. You've got villains. You only ever need like 4 capital ship models just like Rebels. You've got your humor and light moments, you've got your romance, and occasionally you have dark shit like bioweapons and brainwashed sleeper agent or Iceheart burns down a village. There's merch out the wazoo. And lorefags could have a field day with all the shit that would inevitably come up.

>>51211227

Sadly, this at least is impractical unless you're throwing away Lucas money each episode. But you could easily drop a couple a season since you logically shouldn't need to model much of anything else new. Except maybe ground vehicles.

AT-AA when?

If you cheap out and pick 2D instead, shitting out a constant stream of new TIEs and capital ships could be doable. The Gundam franchise does it all the time.

>>51211320
The current season is, on balance, good. Though I may just be biased, seeing as I'm just glad Thrawn is back in canon. However the first and second were pretty spotty. There's not currently a viewing guide but I'm sure somebody could be convinced to make one.

>>51211466
That is no Zaku, boy. No Zaku.

>>51210901
Seems fine to me, but then my winrate is probably like sub 20% so I don't know how useful that feedback is. Each individual ship seems fine, I guess it would do poorly if the enemy had their own autoblasters since it's all relatively low health but it seems mobile enough to stay out of range 1 so I guess it would come down to who flies better. Having only the Proton Rockets for alpha strike damage might be too little if you're up against a lot of big ships as seems to be popular these days but I guess if you stay on their tail well enough then plinking them down with regular shooting shouldn't be too bad.

>>51211564
>However the first and second were pretty spotty
One could say the same thing about TCW.

>>51211701
I'm enjoying season 1 of Clone Wars, at least when there's battleships, clones or Grievous on screen.

>>51211701
True enough. Hopefully it improves over time like TCW did.

>>51211320
It's an alright show. The season finales are always good. Season 1, was okay. I primarily liked the episodes focusing on Kanan training Ezra and it really picked up for me when Tarkin arrives. Season 2 improved, we got see more planets, more references to TCW and James Earl Jones voices Vader when he shows up. Season 3 Thrawn has showed up but hasn't really done anything yet but the midseason trailer looks like he's finally going to do something against the rebels.

Season one of TCW had "Rookies".
That episode alone makes the season good.

Finally saw Rogue One.
Overall great. More moderate critiques turned out to be true (bits with Saw felt rushed and so his death didn't have much impact). Extreme complaints were bullshit. So business as usual.

Only bit to add is the first scene with Vader would have been SO much better if he hadn't gone for the pun.

It helps against the initial impact concussion but not the whiplash concussion.
>>51212967
Whiplash concussions.
At least on ENdor the Stormtroopers were fighting on slopes and you had the silent self-justification that they fell down the slope and got stabbed between the plates offscrren as they tried to stand up. Most of the Rogue 1 melee KOs at least tried to show them being whiplash concussions but it's hard to show off a whiplash concussion without actually GIVING the stuntmen whiplash concussions.

Vibroblades (non lightsaber blades in general) are too messy for a PG-13 rating. Star Wars is never gonna go for a hard R. So all Melee kills will be lightsabers, blunt or offscreen.

>>51213150
I found them pretty boring. The game mechanics made most of them less useful than their KOTOR 1 counterparts except for the skill monkeys and Canderous. The voice acting, for the most part, was lackluster and oddly inaudible. The only ones I could hear without really cranking up the volume were HK, T3, Canderous, and Kreia. Not sure if it was a glitch, though. Backstories in the unmodded game were pretty bare-bones, too. Get the restored content mod if you intend to play it.
