Damage buffs for all x-wings don't make Biggs more of a problem. Damage is cool and good, make x-wings more killy.

X-wings are already reasonably killy. Wedge and Wes really don't need more offense to be good ships.

Ignore the image and the attack number. I was just being lazy (because it's a horrible idea anyway). But ignore those two things and the image is accurate.

Maybe make it "when revealing a green, instead of clearing stress, you may choose to regen one shield." Or "when revealing a green, if you have no stress, regen one shield."

They are never going to nerf Biggs. It's been 9 waves since his launch. When I come against him, I tend to try to bump all the ships he is protecting then unload on him since obviously he is range one or at worst range 2. Works really well against Ghost/Biggs. I have heard quite a few people get miffed when he dies in one round. Raged fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Mar 20, 2017 |

That's almost the exact same thing as R2-D2, for half the cost, on a slot that a ton of uniques would love to have it on.

Whoops.  Anyway, I know that card is a horrible, horrible idea. But I think the idea of a low cost defensive boost in the Elite slot has merit. On a less ridiculous topic. I didn't get a chance to play with this list today, but any thoughts/suggestions on this? Darth Vader (29) Expert Handling (2) Concussion Missiles (4) Shield Upgrade (4) Tetran Cowall (24) Push the Limit (3) Hull Upgrade (3) Targeting Computer (2) Royal Guard TIE (0) Kir Kanos (24) Hull Upgrade (3) Targeting Computer (2) Royal Guard TIE (0) Total: 100

Give those Royal Guard Interceptors some Autothrusters and Stealth Devices. Interceptors live and die on their green dice their ability to arc dodge. Replace Vaders Shield Upgrade for an Engine Upgrade to give him a boost action, and make his ride the TIE/x1 so you can equip Adv Targeting Computer.

I could see them nerfing him if they gave all Rebel ships some kind of durability/agility boost, but it would have to be across the board. It's also possible Paul Heaver is a great player, and probably could have won with Scum big ships like every other scrub

The Auzituck Gunship should have a hull value of 0.15 While I am in love with the Scurrg and don't really mind the Tie Agressor, I.. really don't care for the Auzituck Gunship. I made some comments about this to my brother-in-law (former player of the game), and after reading the wookiepedia article on the ship which details how this ship is literally made out of wood and sap*, in a fit of hilarity, we discussed the prospect of a spaceship made of wood and sap fighting alongside ships composed of military grade titanium alloy. It was only a matter of time before he decided to "crunch the numbers". Here's what he had to share- Since the X-wing hull is made of titanium alloy (assuming titanium comprises a majority of the alloy ratio), the ultimate tensile strength of an X-wing's hull could range from 434 Mpa (63,000 psi) [100% titanium] to 1400 Mpa (200,000 psi) [titanium beta C alloy]. Unfortunately there are no hard numbers on Wroshyr wood (type of wood from the wroshyr tree of Kashyyyk) which is the main material of the Auzituck Gunship; assuming that Wroshyr wood is as strong (or marginally stronger) than the strongest hardwood found in the US, the Black Locust wood has a tensile strength of 70 Mpa (10,180 psi). Using basic ratio to find the relative hull value of the Auzituck Gunship (70/1400= x/3); the hull value for this "gunship" should be 0.15."

A wooden ship might be even dumber than the guy with lightsaber knees. Is everything in the thing made of wood or just like the hull.

Wookieepedia says interior, but let's not pretend it's only supposed to be luxury car wooden panels. It's the EU, this thing is a full -on wooden starship with a metal shell when it's described as having a wooden interior.

I was thinking closer to "conversion van" than luxury car, which explains the 2 crew slots for the captains chairs in back. Curtains and blinds on the windows, and maybe a 7 inch CRT TV in the ceiling with a Nintendo.

I mean, those specific details come from a literal book for children, so I'm not sure why it really matters. Personally, I like the thing-it looks like the Star Wars equivalent of a Cobra gunship, and I love the idea of having door gunners in spaaaaace. Basically, what I'm saying is that there's a non-zero chance I'm going to take one, slap Vectored Thrusters on it, and pretend I'm playing one of the helicopter missions from Ace Combat Assault Horizon.

R5-P9, R2-D2, Gonk, the thing where you take an Ion token to recharge your shields. Crits don't go through shields. There's lots of reasons.

The main purpose is that you can't suffer crits on your shields. There are also, as of now, at least two dozen upgrades and abilities that distinguish shields from hulls.

My friend stomped me with this in a casual game: Rey flying the Falcon, along with Finn, C-3PO, Expertise, Millennium Falcon title, Engine upgrade. Jan Ors with a TLT. When it was in arc it would hit for its base damage + 1 from jan ors + a blank from finn, which all focus turning into hits and 2 reolls on blanks. It's defenses weren't fantastic, but it dished out a ton of damage. I was flying a TLT Miranda, a pretty conventional Norra Wexley (PTL + R2D2), and a TLT rebel operative in a HWK. My list beat some brobots handily before this match, but got crushed by Rey. Any suggestions for a Rebel list that can take that Rey on? I'm guessing keep out of arc is key.

Go after Jan first, because the HWK may as well be made out of wood for all the durability it has.

Rey suffers when stressed or blocked. If you can block and focus fire, Falcons go down fast. Anything that deals stress totally neuters ships with Expertise. I played against a similar list with a list including Assaj and I don't think Expertise triggered even once.

Treat that list like you're flying against Biggs/Ghost and slam into the falcon if you have to be in arc, or stay out of arc, and blast Jan Ors until she's dead. Kanan crew lets it act like a defender, but otherwise it's weak. If you have a stress generator, it's doubly weak. My friend and I were chatting about the wooden starship, which led to the K-wing and how terrible it looked, which got us talking on what would look suitably better for the same role, which turned into the P-50->XP-82->P-61 Black Widow. Imagine how cool of a ship if we had gotten that instead.  I say "instead", even though the K-wing was just initially a throwaway ship in a comic book panel. This thing could conceivably drop have a small bomb bay like a y-wing and have the front cone replaced with a chin turret and would own.ConfusedUs posted:It's also a good name for a Gay Bar, to circle back to a previous conversation Chill la Chill fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Mar 20, 2017 |
