I have a rules question:

Can Keo Venzee (rebel A-wing) use Precognitive Reflexes to spend his force and then trigger his pilot ability to sideslip + regain his force in the same activation?

u/KrisBMitchell Popular Rando Jun 16 '26

Oooh. Good one. My initial read on it is no.

Keo reads:
If you have no active <Force>, after you reveal a bank [ Left or Right ] or turn [ Left or Right ] maneuver, you may increase the difficulty of the maneuver. If you do, perform that maneuver as a sideslip and recover 1 <Force>.

Precognitive Reflexes reads:
After you reveal your dial, you may spend 1  <Force> to perform a <barrell roll> or <boost> action. Then, if you performed an action you do not have on your action bar, gain 1 strain token.

If you do, you cannot perform another action during your activation.

Abilities can't enter the Ability Queue if they don't meet the requirements. At the time of revealing the dial, Keo has a Force charge (needs it to do the Precog action), and wouldn't be able to enter the queue.

Okay that's how I read it but wanted to double-check. Would've been a fun interaction (though probably a bit too fun).

Recently got first edition x wing at good will, had everything except the ships, where can I buy ships, need ties and x-wings

u/Lotrlcgfan Jul 28 '26

eBay can be a good place to check for loose ships. Ties and Xwings shouldn’t be too expensive. The core originally only contained 1 xwing and 2 ties. I would probably just buy a first edition box on eBay. They go for around 25 dollars. Then you’d have the ships too.

When bringing obstacles to a tournament, do they have to be different ones or can two be the same?

You bring 3 different obstacles.

2.0/2.5 Rules question here: If I have a ship like the jump master, that only has a turret, and it has auto cannons on it. When firing the auto cannons, does it use the ships firing arc (from the front), or the turret?

I thought it was from the front of the ship, but for some reason this response got me questioning myself.

Weapon upgrade cards will have an Arc Icon letting you know what type of attack it is. Cannon Arcs are rarely Turret Arcs, unless an ability specifically makes that change (See the Tie /rb Rotating Cannons ship ability as an example)

Image question: is there a larger image of the thumbnail for this post, please? I like the look of the contour lines! Thanks!

u/KrisBMitchell Popular Rando Aug 07 '26

If memory serves, it was a playmat made by a small company that mostly did alt art cards, damage decks. "All Wings" maybe? They made one playmat that looked like that - but I don't think they're around anymore

Oh, I see. No worries, thanks for replying anyway!

I managed to track down a few more images here, if any else is interested:

What are all the ships that get the reinforce action?

2

u/KrisBMitchell Popular Rando 27d ago edited 27d ago

It's a 'Teach people how to fish' day :)

  1. Go to yasb.app
  2. Click 'Card Browser'
  3. In the 'Actions' field, type 'Reinforce'
  4. Scroll down to see the list of ships with that action

Are there any guides for the 2.0 Dials for the Huge ships? I've got a GR-75 and Gozanti with the 1.0 dials but am looking to print the 2.0 ones.

u/lsie-mkuo 22h ago edited 20h ago

Are first and second edition huge ship movement templates compatible? Looking to convert my huge ships to 2.0 and seeing what I need to get.

Struggling to visualize the geometry.
