Fly Better Podcast

Galactic Holonet! Today we are bringing on guest Richard White, better known as Kelvan Tiberius from the Scum & Villainy Podcast, to talk about two new factions coming very soon.  Both the Resistance and First Order have seen fresh preview articles released with all manner of juicy spoilers to dissect.  In addition to contemplating the fate of the new factions, we also spend some time on the current meta breaking down just how good "Whisper" is.

We have an extra large episode this week (with a side of beef).  The main focus is Second Edition list building, with a concentration in "broken" or undercosted pilots and upgrades.  With a fresh meta right around the corner it's important to identify and discover what the new staples of each faction might be.  There's a lot to discuss, so set your hyperdrive and let's get going!
