Maybe tonight? I'm visiting family and I doubt I'll be home before 8 or 9 pm central.

So I flew your Vessery, Redline, Bomber Buddy list in a casual game last night, spaceinvader! It's a lot of fun. First time actually playing with the TIE Punisher and TIE Bomber and those things can take a surprising amount of fire. Especially the Punisher.

Redline became the number one target to my opponent early on but he really felt the pressure of him throwing 2 target locks out a turn and the threat of Proton Torps and Cluster Missles. Though I had a difficult time effectively utilizing the Seismic Charges since I don't often use bombs.

Fleet Officer on the Gamma Squadron Bomber Buddy Shuttle was super awesome and when my friend decided to try and whittle away on it with his twin laser turret Y-Wings her hull points were enough to absorb the attention.

All in all I think it's a dope list and I kind of want to play it in an upcoming tournament at a local game store, instead of the 4 B-Wings with Accuracy Corrector list I'm humming and hawing about.

What sort of design space is left for ships? Feels like they're going to run into a wall of "What does this ship do?" soon. I'm not a designer.

I've had this exact thought every wave since 6, and they consistently manage to crank out ships that do something interesting each wave. :shrug:

Because it's fun to play and fun to watch and gives us stuff to talk about. Goons reporting on matches with other goons is more fun than goons reporting on matches with randos.

Thrawn as a concept is fine but yeah hes a real dumb character with his magical see art and know how to beat someone or finding anti-force lizards lol.

I'm fine if hes just a sociopath, egotistical admiral who is really good at seeing patterns from battle reports etc and just does the art thing for the same reason the nazis stole a bunch of art to make him feel superior and more refined than the lesser peoples hes fighting.

This thread comparatively doesn't have as much activity as the magic thread which has enough to need I think 5 threads including their league thread. I mean, I could talk about funny recent developments with the poe dameron body pillow which some of you guys detest even though we all swoon and fawn over him.

And the math is easy; if you can fire twice for two dice and two dice, those four dice are more than the three you would get from the enhanced attack made from your forward firing arc.

whahuh? Sure, in theory. But if I'm fighting Imp fighters with 3 agility (or 4 because of range 3 or stealth device) then I almost would never want to take 2 attacks at 2v3. I'd get a better chance of pushing damage through with a 3v3, right? If i'm fighting low agility stuff, then sure.

And that dial seems really bad. No green hard turns. Red 1 and 3 hard turns (like the Ghost/Shuttle). It's going to have to end up taking a stress to get into position for these prime double arc shots.
