Finster Dexter: Oct 20, 2014; Beyond is Finster's mad vision of Earth transformed.

I've been out of the game a while, but 5 X-wings sounds extremely fun. If they're 19pt and you can load them all with an astromech and integrated... :bisonyes:

Is inquisitor popular? If so what�s the usual list? I want to use my painted one again.

It's popularity is tied to the popularity of Imp Aces...

But FWIW, a RAC/Inqy list won Fargo regional this past weekend.

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (46)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Emperor Palpatine (8)
Kylo Ren (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Dauntless (2)

The Inquisitor (25)
Push the Limit (3)
Proton Rockets (3)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)

Total: 98

Every game I will of course be doing "Lock S-foils in attack position" in my best Red Leader voice

...huh

I post way too much about this stupid game.

Flew Thweek (double title, FCS, glitterstim, thrusters), Guri (PTL, new title, thrusters), and Fenn Rau (PTL, title, thrusters) today. It was like triple interceptors except not lovely. I really like ace-style play. God I hope Fenn/Lothal gets nerfed before the Tulsa regionals in a few weeks, so I can play something slightly off-meta without conceding the tournament.

Also, copying Omega Leader's ability with a ship that has FCS, 3 reds, 3 greens, and autothrusters is just wrong.

How do you typically use Thweek's ability (when OL isn't around)? Just copy the highest PS?

Mindlink, like Palpatine, got nerfed then immediately got powercrept to the point where the nerf was mostly meaningless.

Sorry, I've been out of x-wing for a bit, but how is the Palpatine nerf meaningless? Do you mean meaningless because other things took its place as imbalancing?

These two-ship boxes always seem pretty good.

Is Krennic enough to bring Soontir back? I would be kinda excited about this game again.

Yeah, R2-D2 has to expend a lightning bolt to use his ability so I guess they have a notion of charges for just about any upgrade. I think that's a cool idea, like what if Palp was exactly as pre-nerf Palp, but he had X charges you could use per game.

Also, Proton Torps were 4 red dice.

I came here to crap all over this but if they are sincerely doing away with "you have to buy this weird turd looking thing from one level of a video game because it has the rockets you need to put on your cool x-wing" thing, I'm potentially back in after having been basically in stasis with this for a year.

I don't see how this is going away? I assume the second wave of 2.0 expansions will absolutely have cards/upgrades unique to each pack, no?

Wait, so are expansion packs not coming with upgrades anymore? Just the plastic ship? That would be cool if the having the app at the table would be tournament legal.
