Post by: Corey on November 10, 2017, 08:18:01 AM
Hey everyone, it's once again time for me to do another preview playthrough in 2.2, this time as the Pentastar Alignment in Art of War. That being said, while we are closing in on release, there's also some other upcoming news posts:

1. Ability Preview (Boarding)
2. Era 5 Breakdown
3. Hero and Roster Changes for NR/IR/PA/EotH/Yevetha

1. Ability Preview (Boarding)
2. Era 5 Breakdown
3. Hero and Roster Changes for NR/IR/PA/EotH/Yevetha
For the hero roster changes I have three questions:
1. Is the IR getting nerfered when it comes to heroes? what I mean is that will we be getting less Heroes in Era 1 2.2 then Era 1 2.1?
2. Will the Yevetha be playable in more Gcs?
3. Will luke get the ability to purchase a upgrade that allows him to use the Liberator(this was a capture ISD that luke use up until its destruction in 11ABY)?

1. Probably not
2. Yes, we've said they'll be playable in some era progressive ones as well.
3. No, he wasn't that closely associated with it and there's already a ton of events around Luke.

I would like to Luke use a Star Destroyer for one or two GC's.

Luke only use the liberator during the Pre-Shadow hand campaign as he was commanding it along with Lando.

Hello guys, here's my opinion on the boarding ability :

The unit is well shielded and probably too much armored. But anyway, what really bother me is that the failure of the boarding did not destroy the unit. If the shuttle fail to enter it can make sense but that mean every time the boarding crew get inside they suceed to take control of the ship ? Also I believe there's no cooldown for the ability. All would be ok if that was a hero ability (Judder Page's Commando) but if you can produce such units (depending of the cost of course), that would be too powerful, particulary as I believe the AI can't use it.
