The pink Keepstar it seems from the image the base is a rubber suction cup and you use it to press down on a tile to suction the tile out of this place so you can flip it right?
Nope. Havoc and Titan were not part of the Prototype so we only have the Design Updates to go on. Titans will be difficult to build but will earn victory points just for their construction and will become a terrifying presence on the board. Expect the game to last longer as currently the game tends to end shortly after folks have battleships. Ergo, Titans will create a longer and more spectacular game. Havoc adds a 3rd/4th/5th player with asymmetric playstyle and goals. Instead of starting at the edge and working in, claiming systems and building an Empire, Pirates start in the middle of the board and score by corrupting systems.
@@captainbenzieHonestly if the games feel to short or too long. We can just adjust the number of VP necessary thta trigger the endgame. It's not like it'll break the game which seems cool btw.
I'm super excited for it. Haven't played Eclipse or TI but ecah time I watch a tutorial of these games, I understand barely something and got bored + way too mich icon and stuff on board. But for EVE? It's like I understood everything. It looks like super streamline and easy to play. I pledge the veteran one + 1 mat + succession + 1 additionnal dice set. Did not took the dice tray because I think it will not fit the box and I already have some. And I hesitate taking the structure set but finally abandon this idea for 3 main reasons: - Readability of the board - Not enough place on tile so it will constantly be punched out and Ships are more than enough. - Titanforge said that if you want to be sure ti have enough minis structures, you should get 2 boxes. Which is logic if you consider there are only 8 structures of each meaning that in a game of 4 you would just have 2 per player before running out. So considering the size of this and the price, I'm out ^^
I spoke with the dev team about this, and they just didn't have "space" for Assault Frigate hulls in the game. Interceptors and Explorers had uses, but Assault Frigates didn't overly stand out and would have just padded the game.
@@captainbenzie the reality is my group isn't that into these games, so the longer version would get played less. The variety though, will help get it out more.
I was actually waiting for a video like this to pop up, thanks! 😊 I went with veteran + succession, mat and dice tray. Still struggling with the structures due to the reasons you mentioned, but probably will take them even if they won't see much action. What is your opinion towards an extra set of dice? Any situation where you would have liked an extra set?
We never found we needed more than one set, but I'd hate to lose any dice, and an extra set saves having to wait for one person to do their combat, then pass to the other. You can do it truly simultaneously.
doing the fight simultaneously was what I thought about as well...just added a set of dice and a second tray, compared to the price for rest of the set it won't hurt much @@captainbenzie
worth noting structures are 200% sized as well so they will be massive. good for painting as u said, not good for game. I've got myself veteran pledge + succession expansion along with dice tray and combat mat
Sorry that is wrong. The structure set is not 200% size. If you look at the campaign page where the structure are the 200% Below the pic of the structure set is related to the Collector sets. Structures will not be 200%
@@captainbenzie Yeah, that's why I believe that the Omega division in EvE Echoes is so good for developing countries for example, as they allow people like me to not spend a lot and continue playing normally, even if I gain fewer skill points

I think it's hard plastic to get between the tiles and prise them up if I understand it correctly
it is indeed a rubber suction cup
Good video still on the fence here, is there gameplay how the titan expansion works? Ive only seen the base game played.

How are there no Rifters?! So disappointed right now!

If I've made the Veteran Pledge. Will I get the Succession expansion. Or is that a separate add on?
It's a separate expansion
Veteran Pledge is the Core Game, the three shown expansions, and the Stretch Goals.
@@captainbenzie Cheers. Super excited for this game ^^
@@FabledX_UK I hope you enjoy it as much as our group does!
Thanks, I like the battle mat and succession additions. I added them but decided to get rid of the Titans.
I'm in two minds about the Titans for sure, and I think that Succession is definitely the more versatile expansion!

@@Wininoid7254 very good points!! Hopefully they'll love it as much as my group did which will help get it to the table more!!

Oh sory dude thought you were talking ab online, also came across your corp a week ago in my home hole, was a fun fight o7👌🏾
Nice! I don't think I was there for that one!!
I have the early bird veteran and everything but the OVERSIZED versions, including 2 battle mats, succession, extra dice and 2 rolling trays
Very nice!!
