I find myself wondering about a downgrade like the Chardaan refit card, but that would delete Y-wing turrets.

alg posted:It's a goddamn Y-Wing, they don't swap the fuckin' turrets. Their turrets are the point of their ship. They should just get a straight up upgrade card for 0 points that adds a Crew. That's the point of Y-Wings, they're a two man attack ship with a turret. loving B-Wings why the gently caress did they get the crew card. Think of it as the movie-version Y-wing. Though really, to finish the job they'd need to be just as fast as X-wings and about half as durable. I got no answers on the B-wing thing.

Ville Valo posted:Started playing the Tantive IV campaign tonight. If I understood the rules for using it correctly, it can never shoot directly behind itself, even with the turret primary, because that'd cross the blue line on the base? How was it firing at the Star Destroyer in the opening scene of A New Hope, then?! It's another LucasArts artifact.

Focus should be usable for either offensive or defensive purposes, but not both. You should have to decide when you take the marker--deciding your "focus" as it were.

Chill la Chill posted:But...the ability to choose either is what makes focus even a choice. If you had to choose either, target lock and evade would just be the default choices. Target lock gives you a whole .5 reroll instead of .25 on a focus and evade just straight up gives you a free 1.0 die. Whereas now, focus is the default choice unless ordnance is in play.

Soulex posted:Like for example. Sometimes my friend and I go head to head and we were under the false assumption you can over shoot. I move forward and am clear. He moves forward and rams me. We are now nose to nose. The next round, since we are blocking each other from moving forward, how do we continue movement when any movement would cause another collision? Maneuver gauges don't cause collisions with other ships. Collisions only occur if the bases would overlap. Gauges do cause collisions with asteroids, though.

Has anyone tried Vader + Expert Handling? I'm looking to anchor a Howlswarm and unless I'm missing something, that looks like it gives three actions a turn like Soontir/PtL.

Obama 2012 posted:Proton rockets seem pretty much made for the A-Wing, but I can't help feeling that Chardaan Refit has kind of sabotaged the meta for them--Their effective price has jumped from 3 to 5 points now, which seems prohibitively expensive for what they do. I've been tooling around with some potential A-Wing lists lately and I just can't justify the opportunity cost. OTOH, Prockets are a godsend to the TIE Advanced.

Carnor was in range 1, blocking any use of focus or evade with his Force bullshit or whatever it is. Tycho blew up and his return fire left Carnor at 1 health.

Pinely posted:X-Wings, Generic E-Wings, Rebel Y-Wings, and the HWK-290 could use some extra love, imo. Astromechs could be a good way to help 3 out of the 4 I suppose. All good ideas. None of the pilot cards have mentioned stutter fire yet, maybe there could be a late-model X-wing title that lets them reroll an attack die or something.

Well, except for the prequel designs are cool-looking, and in wargame format, we get to appreciate them without having to sit through the prequels themselves. I can see why FFG's marketing department would consider them poison, though.

Ordnance shouldn't be viable as fighter-to-fighter weapons, really. They were only used that way twice in all the movies, and never in the OT.

Orvin posted:Someone at my league night had an interesting idea for ordinance. If the missile/torpedo has at least one hit, cancel all defense dice. This was to make it a more thematic, either you evade the missile, or it hits and does full damage. So nimble tie fighters are likely to evade the missile, but if it hits, they are pretty much dead. I approve of all lethality-increasing mods.
