The Gate posted:New X-Wing Title: Republic Refit You might be on to something. A 0 or 1 cost title that gives a benefit if you have an astromech equipped. Maybe give the ability to reroll an attack die. It might have to cost 2 points since it is then a weaker predator.

Played 4-5 games. Mostly flew a list that had as its main features Kavil with Agromech, Opportunist and Blaster Turret and Palob (guy who steals focus/evade) with opportunist/blaster turret/moldy crow (moldy crow was actually useful I found). The rest was either Drea Renthal with a blaster turret/agromech or a heavy scyk with HLC and a vanilla Z-95. Doing 5 attack dice shots outside of arc with a Target Lock or 4 attack dice with Palob with usually a focus available is really nice

Intie fix was Autothrusters to be honest. Royal Guard TIE only really worked when Autos came out, thus giving something that worked well in conjunction with Stealth Device.

The "Interceptor fix" was only a minor buff, but it only had to be a minor buff because Interceptors were already pretty good. They were a small step behind other things, and all it took was a little nudge to make them equal with the competition again. The problem with X-wings is that they're a full step behind where Interceptors were. Lack of maneuverability options plus an unimpressive maneuver dial mean they're really suffering. Astromechs that give boost or barrel roll would be a decent fix, I think.

Clearly the answer is Rebel Aces 2: Y-Wing + X-Wing, new astros, new torps, new titles, alternate paint schemes. It practically writes itself.

Lets have this RA2 box NOT have any X-wing named pilots and instead have the reverse side of the of the rookie and red be 2x generic PS6 rogue squadron with an EPT slot.

bunnyofdoom posted:First make it Baron Fel I'd like to see unique pilots with multiple ship options. Corran Horn in an X-wing, etc. Cross-faction pilots maybe later, but cross-ship pilots first. They've got named pilots as crew cards and Artoo as an astromech and a crew, so obviously they aren't completely opposed to the concept.

Like, I don't think they'd make Corran exactly the same if they put him in an X-Wing. His pilot ability would probably be something like "trick allies into thinking you're dead with allusions to cakes" or something.

I mean identical pilot ability, mostly. We have Kath and Fett that cross factions, but they have very different abilities for each faction. I think Corran Horn's ability, for example, would work just as well on an X-wing as an E-wing. No reason he can't keep it.

Corran in an X-Wing. "Friendly ships may use and spend your target lock to fire secondary weapons with Torpedo and Missile icons with the "Attack: TARGET LOCK" header. If they do this, they may use your range and arc instead of their own to determine the range of the attack." "PS if that isn't Mary Sue Enough, also add (filled explosion) to the result of their dice roll."

Val Helmethead posted:Corran in an X-Wing. That's... actually a really cool ability and I would totally use that all the time. For another Corran-specific Rogue Squadron novel tie-in, you can have: "At the start of the combat phase, friendly ships may perform a hard left manoeuvre then receive a stress token."

Also, if we have Emon Azzameen, I hope that means that one day we might get either a Scum YT-1300 with the "Selu" title and Aeron Azzameen, or a Rebel Z-95 with Ace Azzameen. They already have generic Bandit Squadron pilots, so why not?
