FFG's presentation at GAMA is at 9pm Nevada time, which will be when this post is 3 hours old. They've announced stuff there in the past, so put your speculation caps on.
so he has 2/3rds of a sector fleet's star destroyers and that's not enough to you...
Henry Rivera
When will we hear results of GAMA? Doesn't seem like the type of event where a neckbeard will be live updating on it.
Levi Gray
I know they never talk about new stuff in the RPG except for it being a formal announcement, but god damn, we need some updates on when we can expect Fully Operational and Cyphers and Masks.
Keep an eye out for Team Covenant on Twitter/Facebook. They always live tweet FFG's stuff during Gen Con, and they outright streamed an Asmodee panel earlier today; so I'm sure they'll be there providing updates in some capacity.
Henry Kelly

Being assigned to Jabiim or Felucia.

Rebels Thrawn has all the Arquitens and Gozantis in modern SW/Armada fleets, but otherwise that seems pretty faithful.
Grayson Jones
And here's Thrawn's battleline for the Assault on Sluis Van

Yeah, the Asmodee GAMA panel was here: >facebookdotfuckoffspamfiltercom/teamcovenant/videos/2033149636725007/
Where, among other things, they confirmed "new Legion releases every month"; but overall nothing terribly interesting (just a board game publisher talking to stores that carry its products).
just as a sidenote, the FFG presentation itself isn't for like, another 3 hours
Adrian Bailey
hour and a half famalam
Kevin Rivera
If anyone is getting an Epic ship it's Scum, considering they only have the C-ROC while the other factions have two.
William Parker
Z-95 Headhunter with extra fuel drop bods converted to single person sleeping bod (preferably with life support). The plasteel coffin is the most efficient way to house full party on shoestring budget. This coffin can also function as orbital drop bod for daredevils, adding some way to slow down enough is recommended.
Jackson Martinez
>Headhunter with pods attached to it Holy shit that sounds like an absolute claustrophobic nightmare. Imagine your pilot being in a dogfight while you're stuck in one of those.
Mason Hernandez
Party members can also act as screaming, terrified gun pods.
I think a three person party could live out of the blastboat or firespray, but it wouldn't be comfortable. you'd want to be landed as much as possible so you could camp next to it
Bentley Kelly
>camping innawoods on some weird alien planet around your landed firespray >wouldn't be comfortable
William Smith
With a bit of redecorating a Lambda could be made into a small flying one room apartment
Chase Davis
One Shot Podcast has their PCs in a Blastboat IIRC, though I do remember it being a bit roomier than the average deckplan would imply (kitchenette, escape pod/closet, etc).
Kevin Nguyen
If the party consists of clowns, an A-wing or R-22 Spearhead also works.
>"You can see Laura Dern say 'pew' when she fires the gun, which she could never not do every time she shot it." Holdo may be Holdo, but Dern sounds fun.
Alright I changed my mind now that just looks way too small. Decisions decisions...
Christopher Peterson
>Hitler's Aerial Sedan The Iron sky saucer ships could be good...
There's all kinds of weird shit a military will adopt that was completely infeasible 30 years ago, then 20 years ago later its into select use, another 10 and its beginning to go mainstream.
Or the reverse. A lot of military subs use xbox controllers for unmanned vehicles and submarine periscopes because a lot of people in the military's age demographic already know how to use them and they're way cheaper than specialized equipment.
Luis Evans
>xbox controllers >not fight sticks Fucking casuals. Meanwhile, in Shadaloo
Basically, think boats- a 40ft yacht can hold 4 people no problems, but after a week or two its not pleasent >dont ask me how I know Likewise, people will live in all sorts of ungodly things like submarines but they're a special kind of weirdo that does it regularly
Yeah I think the link between user and tech interfaces has come a long way, back in the olde timey days people adapted to use equipment, whereas now there is quite a bit of effort going into making things work via usability studies. Mobile phones being some outrageously powerful little devices for what they are and a prime example.
Logan Wilson
>dont ask me how I know Swinging related misadventure?
Which of the various types of light freighters would a party be most likely to run across? I'm assuming it's one of the YT ships, but are there specific models that are more common that others?
Nothing so exciting, more a case of having 4 people and only 1 knows what the fuck they're doing with a boat. So that made for a very long 2 weeks of just hard slog with none of the other 3 having any aptitude to learn, along with the fact somehow none of them knew really how to cook very well either. Basically knowing what to do with a boat has been the bane of my life, if someone ever offers you the chance how to learn- just say no.
I just had a possibly stupid thought. So in one of the Wraith Squadron books, they steal a corvette that had been modified to turn it into a pocket carrier. Because of design of ties, they require a lot of hanger space, so the wraiths modified it a bit more to replace some of the escape pods with ties, and made more room in the hanger for their xwings. I thought about doing something similar with awings. Modify the pod slots so that you can put the wings into them, so that the entire flight or squadron doesn't have to risk trying to exit a single bay in succession. With how small they are compared to ties and xwings, I'd suspect you could fit a few more fighters in the corvette, and if you do it right, nobody would notice unless they're personally inspecting the hull
Nathan Taylor
Good lord the /co/ star wars general is a shitshow. I poked my head in there and it's a flaming garbage heap.
Christopher Perez
YZ775. She's the best ship you'll ever see, and used by more than just scummy smugglers and tramp freighters.
Sebastian Williams
How is it more of a dumpster fire? And is it more of a dumpster fire than Veeky Forums on a bad day, compared to the rest of /co/, /v/ tier? How bad are we talking?
Brayden Ward
Karen Traviss is history's greatest monster
Andrew Hall
You know that guy who pops in here sometimes who replies to 20 people at once and just says "not an argument."? Everyone on that thread is that guy. It's all just arguing about TLJ's box office and reception. that sort of thing.
Camden Gray
Why the hell does Stefan Molyneux even come to Veeky Forums?
"Phased shields", or something, I forget the term. The First Order's shields have millisecond intervals where they're not active. Of asspulls to justify shit it's not the worst, but it's still terrible
Anthony Collins
/co/ was always gullible and easy to bait but now its a dumping ground for /tv/ shitposting so retards can squeeze a bit more from their shitty memes.
Snoke was stupid enough to put the ship in harm's way?
That's about the best one I've come up with so far.
Grayson Rodriguez
Panel just started. Talking about Legion at the moment.
Angel Ramirez
Can I watch this somewhere?
Ian Fisher
It only worked because Hux was an arrogant ass that told his gunners to ignore the ship until he saw it aimed at him.
Thomas Lewis
"We want to focus on what you see in the core trilogy first"
Search for "Sentry Box" on Facebook. Spamfilter won't let me link it.
Leo Powell
>actually like cartoons and comics >can't get any value out of the entire forum
Hell, I like tv shows too, but that's literally the lowest form of life crawling around there shrieking like fucking morons. There needs to be a final solution to /co, /pol and /tv
Alright FFG should be presenting, let's all stay alert for news.
Dylan Davis
Nothing new announced for Legion
Nathaniel Harris
"Commanders in Legion are really what give armies their personality". Moving on to Arkham Horror now, nothing new from Legion (no surprise there).
just final solution the whole website desu, I won't pretend we're worth saving
don't worry, I'll post any juicy bits
Gavin Thompson
To clarify, they are onto Arkham now
Tyler Reyes
Legion just had like, two announcements in less than a week, so it's fair even if I really, really want them to talk about Scout Troopers.
Nolan Scott
Destiny up next
Death Troopers or bust
Jeremiah Campbell
Oh shit I wonder if this will make it into X-Wing
The Lego version was dope af
Andrew Cook
Davy confirmed Scouts back at like the Gencon announcement, so I reckon they'll be a mite sooner, but I personally think anything which has been on a screen in canon should probably appear for sure.
Isaiah Gomez
Says they didn't even come close to anticipating Destiny's popularity. It's now their single largest team.
Aaron Brooks
The s-foils do open/close on the new X-Wing models. (Don't remember if we knew that or not.)
But that's the end of the presentation, nothing new to announce. Taking questions now.
Anthony Diaz
>The s-foils do open/close on the new X-Wing models So, just the Partisan models, then
