Tekopo posted:There is no one that invested in Scum, I'm sorry. I've heard the above many times but I think it's a myth. I think the more likely story is that it just wasn't seen during playtesting. That J2K build relied on a interaction between two upgrade cards, R4 Agromech and Deadeye, which had been in game forever and had both been considered pretty useless until that point. Plus, at that point in the game, the notion that torpedoes could actually be good was downright absurd to most people, as they had been hot garbage since wave 1. In other words, it required assembling three awful things and putting them on this entirely new ship to create something broken. It's a combo that feels blindingly obvious once it has dominated your meta for months, but it's totally understandable that playtesting didn't catch it.

Plus the notion of people being invested in certain X-Wing factions doesn't really add up, since X-Wing's upgrade model forces you to buy one of everything to get the upgrades you need. It's not like Warhammer or whatever where you are heavily invested in one or maybe two factions, since owning all the stuff is a prerequisite to playing the game competitively anyway.
