    Default TIE Punisher preview; or how I learned to stop worrying and fly green banks

    (online since yesterday)

    TIE PUNISHER:

    "Deathrain" has two seperate pilot abilites, a first in the game - since both require you spend extra points on bombs, it is not as weird as it sounds.




    Cluster Mines are 2 red dice per Token, one set are 3 Tokens - so, 6 red dice if they blaze through all of them


    UNHOLY LADY OR LORD OF UPGRADES BE PRAISED!
    While adding a 1 point charge on the base cost on many cheap TIEs won't be worth it, the TIE Defender, Advanced and Phantom-pilots as well as Night Beast and Lt. Lorrir will want some of that action. While it won't make them stress-clearing machines like the Interceptor (but hey theoretically you can give your royal guard T/I now Autothrusters and green 3-banks in addition to PTL; won't that be fun? ) it will make several stress-costed abilites viable for a broader array of ships.

    Note to self: Bring back the 2 Defender Lists!

    I don't see any reason to take a punisher over a bomber for cheaper. My Defender will love the Engine card, however

    About 11 Points* of free Upgrades and a slower dial (greens are the 1s not the 2s; 4K instead of 5K) like to disagree*; and the combo of bombs and systems might be a nice in Epic...

    * 3 Shield Upgrads and an Engine Upgrade sum up to 16 Points, the cost difference between the PS2s is 5 points.

    Thanks for the info, we played X-Wing last weekend and it was hilarious.

    New things keep happening - FFG spoiled the PS4 TIE Punisher pilot, breaking the rule of keeping at least one pilot card per ship unspoiled before release
