Outlaw Tech is for those turns when I have to do a red move and no one else can focus or something. Is there a better crew or other options to throw in?

That's pretty much the list I posted earlier, but I have Dengar on Zuckuss in place of FCS and Outlaw tech. I thought of Outlaw Tech at first too, but Dengar is so much more useful, and I rarely if ever have to take red maneuvers with Zuckuss.

With as many dice as Zuckuss tosses, I feel like a TL would do better than 1-2 rerolls. Assuming they let me fire at that ship.

You really never need more than one or two re rolls. Average roll on four dice is hit hit blank focus.

Intel Agent would be really no that useful I would think, And tactician kind of goes against the whole 'get in range 1 and throw 5 dice into a mother fucker' think I always did with Zuckuss.

  that TIE aggressor dial. It's pretty much a TIE advanced dial without a 5 speed maneuver and with the 2 speed banks now green. That ship with native barrel roll is going to be the most obnoxious TLT carrier in the game. Also, the PS3 generic wookie pilot is 26 points, with an EPT.

Cruise missiles seem crazy good. Up to 5 dice without spending target lock for 3 points? Time to break out N'dru. I'm looking forward to the jousting mindgames of trying to bluff 4 straights to force slow rolls.

>2 years from now in the Grim Future of "X-Wing 2.0: Bombs n' Missiles"< You know, sonny, I remember back when X-Wing games used the maneuver templates and the dials. Heck, I can remember back when your firing arc might matter once or twice a game and people used their primary weapon!  Shhh the world championship is starting, let's see if the apprentice starfighter's homing proton drone squad can roll high enough to fly through the novice smuggler's rotating pulse-bomb field. >2 handfuls of dice are rolled< Wow, that was a great game, did you see the one guy roll fifteen hits and the other guy only roll nine evades? He's a great pilot. That was exciting! 6 more evades and we'd have seen a maneuver dial used! gently caress this poo poo I'm getting drunk.

Could Cruise Missiles make A-wings decent? No longer having to be at range 1 plus having an extra EPT so Deadeye isn't all you have doesn't sound terrible. That's 21 points (23 with Autothrusters). Take PTL and Juke instead maybe? I don't think rebels have a ship that can use them effectively besides As. Edit: ugh, gently caress Chardaan Refit sometimes.

It would also allow ships with bombs/missiles (or just a crew slot + missiles for Rebel Sabine/Scum Cad Bane) to equip extra munitions, because very few of them have torpedo and missile slots.

When I say Torpedo/Missile upgrade, I mean it takes up the slot and you gain the other. How many missile/bomb or double missile ships are in the game without torpedo slots, one or two?

I wonder how well 4 of the Scurrg Pirates would hold up. Primary 3 weapons with a pretty mobile dial and 10 health per small base. Seems sturdy. Competitive play has had me down for a bit, but this and the new Staeviper fixes sure are making this game appealing again.

I have a feeling X-Wing 2.0 won't be for a long time now - which stinks because there's a crapload of unused ships that further and further sink into irrelevance along with a bunch of unique but decidedly useless cards when compared to others.
