Recoome posted:Also I have too many TIE Interceptors, they are legit my fav ship. They're my favourite ship design in all of Star Wars and I can't think of any other spaceship design I like more, but I absolutely hate flying them and the non-EPT ones really need to cost 2-3 fewer points.  In other news, LGS just emailed me to say wave 7 is out midway through next week and I've ordered a Punisher and Kihraxzcxzcxc.

Geisladisk posted:they don't fit the aesthetic of the rest of the Empire's ships at all There is literally no reason why "the Empire's aesthetic" should just be pasting loving TIE panels on everything. The assault gunboat and missile boat fit in just fine. e; they should have given us the Scimitar instead of "the TIE bomber, but with more bombs" though.

Geisladisk posted:The Assault Gunboat would probably be closer to the B-Wing than the Shuttle in terms of gameplay, at least going by how it behaved in the X-Wing series of games. Yeah. It was explicitly the Imperial equivalent of the B-wing in TIE Fighter. If it's basically a B-wing that drops cannon slots for missiles and priced similarly, it would be fine.

It's not even an EU thing, it's a "NPCs make passing bitchy comments in some of the video games" thing, really. Y-wings were always outdated but respectable ships that used to be the Rebels' main fighter until they developed dedicated space superiority craft and the Y-wings was relegated to fighter-bomber duties. There's a reason why they're referred to as "the workhorse of the Rebel Alliance."

The Hunter, Vanguard, Droid and Clawcraft are just about the only EU designs in that list that don't look like completely unimaginative rear end.

These Loving Eyes posted:it seems it is far easier to be able to make a few mistakes that just eat up your shields rather than explode into smithereens with an unlucky turn Welcome to playing Imperials. Something decent for a beginner would probably be something along these lines: Krassis Trelix (36) "Mangler" Cannon (4) Mercenary Copilot (2) "Howlrunner" (18) Stealth Device (3) Academy Pilot (12) Academy Pilot (12) Academy Pilot (12) Total: 99 That gives you a solid damaging ship with a lot of HP that's easy to fly, plus a TIE fighter escort that you can practice flying in formation.

Just picked up my Punisher and Kiracxzhczx. Really hope the latter is good, because it'd a good-looking ship. Also, the Punisher and K-wing are loving huge.

I wonder how well 3x Black Sun Ace with upgrades would work, since they have an EPT. It's a shame there isn't really a decent 2-point EPT they can use, otherwise you could run four.

ro5s posted:Isn't the DYE-wing the other way around? A TIE fighter cockpit with Y-wing engines technically works, how does that thing even move?! The DYE-wing (officially known as the TYE-wing) is a TIE cockpit with Y-wing engines. The Y-TIE is a Y-wing cockpit with TIE wings and engine rammed in there, and ends up being a good ship (like the Deathseed).

If the people you play casually with object to proxying cards, I strongly suggest you tell them to go gently caress themselves and find better people to play with.

BattleMaster posted:Edit: Lol this is a game where Soontir Fel/Push the Limit/Royal Guard/Autothrusters/Stealth Device exists and people are whining that there's something that can potentially maybe actually damage their ships Landing even a single crit on an Interceptor will guarantee a kill 80% of the time, and that single 3 HP ship costs a full third of your list. The game didn't need a hard counter to arc dodgers. Calling them broken and asking for them to be banned is pretty laughable though. They're just poo poo design. Geisladisk posted:Calling it now, TLTs will be FAQed to be limited to one per squad in tournament play. No, that's not going to happen because FFG don't do things like that. What will probably happen is that in 6-12 months they'll release a 2-3 point mod slot upgrade card that makes it so you can only be attacked once per turn by any given ship, or something equally dumb.

Dre2Dee2 posted:So... what is different about the new damage deck and why is it good/bad? I see people keep mentioning it, but I'm not exactly sure what specifically they mean in terms of the cards. You can see it here: http://imgur.com/a/TNJiY#1 In short, they've removed stuff like Munitions Failure or Injured Pilot that flat out removed stuff permanently in favour of adding more cards you can "cure" with an action (plus some minor stuff like clarifying Blinded Pilot), which is especially good for any ship that relied on a turret or any pilot that can only function by virtue of its pilot ability.

The T-70 was designed based on the same McQuarrie concept art that was used by the EU as a basis for the Z-95, which is why the wings look like a single wing when the S-foils are locked.

There's going to be stuff that shows up in the films that is a) not deemed iconic enough to be toys or b) not deemed iconic enough to be in this first wave of toys and instead getting released in a second wave at some point in the future. It's a pretty safe bet that in the two hours of film footage there'll be at least a couple of ships that show up in the background which FFG can turn into models.
