Man, I missed the word "bonuses" and thought that card was cool. Giving X-Wings shots at Range 4 would be really interesting.

The problem is that it only effects Wedge, Wes, and Luke, who don't necessarily need the help as much as every other X-Wing pilot except Biggs. It'd make them super-good, sure, but that shouldn't be the be-all, end-all of an X-Wing buff. Now my stupid idea, on the other hand... quote:Rogue Squadron Pilot (2 Points) I was thinking about this earlier, and thought something like this could be a novel solution. Ignoring the point cost for now (Since that's not the important part), I think something like this could be a solution to the X-Wing's biggest weakness in its lack of post-dial maneuvers and vulnerability to arc-dodgers-basically, allow it to react to enemy aces to keep them in arc, get out of the way of bombs, or get closer and dodge their arc to close in for the kill. It'd be strongest on lower-PS pilots, since there's no restriction on doing an action before triggering RSP, but Wedge, Wes, and Luke could easily get some utility out of it as well. It'd also less useful for Biggs than any of the other pilots, since he's going to be flying in formation where barrel rolls would be less useful (And could potentially pull him out of range 1). Thoughts?

Wotsnik posted:Having played through it fully I can definitely say it is a blast. You don't really need a dedicated GM, just having one person be the AI-guy, rolling the dice and keeping the maneuver charts in front of them each session, works just fine. I ran a game by myself for the first mission of HOTAC, running a couple of X-wings against the opfor. It was amazingly fun and I can't wait to get my group in on this Friday. But since you brought it up, just so I can make sure I got this right with the swerves: I have a TIE fighter that'll run right into an asteroid at a 5 straight ahead it rolled for AI maneuver. The swerve rules as I read them say that I drop that TIE's maneuver down the nearest one that changes the maneuver to a bank left or right. My question comes with this hypothetical TIE would NOT be hitting the asteroid if it just moves a 4 straight ahead. This would seem to be illegal according to the obstacle rules as written, which direct that I drop the maneuver to a 3-speed bank left or right (whichever is closer to the target and the highest speed bank available on a TIE Fighter dial) fulfilling the 45 degree change in direction. I just want to make sure that swerves to avoid collisions are always a change to banks and never just a drop in the speed of a straight-ahead maneuver if that's what they originally rolled.

Wouldn't be surprised if we saw something like your covering fire, only as a token your opponent assigns to your ship (like a red eyeball - distracted or suppressed) and chooses when to spend. Because negative tokens your opponent spends is a mechanic from the new Runewars mini games and designers tend to look for inspiration close to home. Edit: I guess Latts crew already is kinda this

If you're not married to R5-P8, I would replace K4 with RecSpec and R4 Aggromech. This combo can potentially - after the first exchange with a target - have a target lock and focus in both his attack and the eventual extra attack. Having 2 focus is also pretty decent for defense. If you're not married to Mindlinks either, I would put Marksmanship on Bossk. With the spare points you could try to squeeze in PTL on Dengar maybe. Math related edit: You don't have any spare at this point, so adaptability is a cool card on Dengar I guess. uncle blog fucked around with this message at 12:23 on May 18, 2017 |

So something like this perhaps: JumpMaster 5000: · Dengar (33) Push The Limit (3) Engine Upgrade (4) Recon Specialist (3) · Punishing One (12) R4 Agromech (2) YV-666: · Bossk (35) Marksmanship (3) · 4-LOM (1) K4 Security Droid (3) · Unkar Plutt (1) -- TOTAL ------- 100p. -- Couldn't think of anything useful to replace Unkar. Maybe IntAgent to better position Dengar?

Or you could replace him and 4-Lom with Zuckus and Inspiring Recruit, allowing you to reroll two green dice every round as long as you do a green afterwards, which you'd want to do in any case.

So I guess I was wrong and must've read it from somewhere else. FFG OP *just* put up their 40th anniversary article. And would you look at that, the store champs I went to last weekend wasn't supposed to include it as part of SC. I'm thinking the store champs this weekend are planning to give them out then as well. Would've helped if they had released it sooner~ https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/op/x-wing/x-wing-40th/

Anyone have any luck finding extra drawers? I don't recall the model number but there are at least two models of drawers that are the same overall size. One of the models has big slots at the bottom and one only has small slots. Call up your local outdoors store (like Bass Pro) and ask them. Or just go and look; all these are on the shelves.

Yeah, that was my issue; there aren't really any outdoors stores that are local to me, and I was hoping to find a model number for the drawer so I could just order some off of Amazon or whatnot. I'll do some homework and see what matches.

Mmmm, that's good homebrew. So, to recap, for the EPT slot, you get the effects of a stealth device, without losing it if hit, and can reroll all dice. bunnyofdoom fucked around with this message at 16:54 on May 18, 2017 |

I like that the first comment is that the card should actually be costed at zero points. It helps that it's only for Luke in the T-65, but yeah it's, uh, powerful.

If you remove the reroll ability, it seems like a good exclusive EPT.

Actual quote I got in response to my pointing out how broken it isreddit posted:Well that, and it makes it about the same price as a Defender. And it gets shut down by stress like the X7 title. Oh and the Defender has a better dial and also the Defender has a better action bar. And the Defenders don't have to use their EPT to be able to get the benefit of the +1 agility it just comes standard and they can still grab an EPT if they would like. So either this is fair or Defenders are still broken....... I....give up when dealing with people. Infinite re-rolls are the same as the x-7 everyone.

IronSaber posted:A while ago, folks in this thread were discussing ways to Make X-wings Great Again, some with an S-foil ability, others with a title card. Was there any real consensus on this, or did it just kind of peter out? This was always my thought. You can't buff their defence because Biggs, and buffing their manoeuvrability is twitchy and awkward to work, so buffing offence is my idea. And I'm inspired by the Rogue Squadron games and the way you could do one big blast followed by stutter fire, or continuous two-shot bursts. Title. T65 X-Wing Only. Quad Laser Cannons. 0 points. (And yes, this requires errating the name of all the OT x-wings to 'T65 X-Wing' as they always should have been) Quad laser cannons - linked When attacking with your primary weapon, you may add one [crit] result. If you do, you must flip this card over. Quad laser cannons - stutter When attacking with your primary weapon, you may turn one blank result to a hit result. When you hit with a primary weapon attack, the defender suffers one damage. Then cancel all dice. During the end phase if you made no primary weapon attacks this round, you may flip this card over. Gives a big punch, normal guns, or an interesting high-accuracy low-damage option.

I could see ti getting used occasionally, but mostly yeah, it's a cool combo but x-wings are so rare and most of the ones that take R2D2 want a different mod.
