Why not both? Both need it.

Nothing lasts long anymore. Can you cripple the rest of thier lost before going down? 4 ships makes it hard A deci and 2 smaller ships is much easier. I tend to fly Oicuun a lot. When you're Ramming and doing damage they can't shoot you back. There is also the Big O deathroll build that autokills anything it can ram with 5hp or less There's also Invincible kenkirk silliness about. Not truely invincible but they can be tough.

Decimator. 3 ties

Both were pretty ineffectual. Imp Aces was 7-8 months late and made 1 pilot better (title) and added a second that could play (Jax). Both pilots would be better on a better chassis. Imperial Vets was interesting but didn't fix bombers (shuttle option is nice but meh) and made defenders so good that they had to be nerfed back into disuse. Vets was great in style and scope with poor execution. Aces was and still is a joke. 2/3 of those ships still need help. 1/3 still see table time. 1/3 has simply been powercreeped out of the game. I'll just keep hoping for an imperial war machine box with punisher and Firespray boosts. Missiles and torps for bombers too and another mod or title for the phantom so it can do something. A few imperial officers would go a long way for the hipposhuttlebus, deck, and bomber shuttle.

If you want to see more Imperials at tournaments
Rakky Wistol replied to Shadow345's topic in X-Wing
Exactly! Everybody likes them, or is just jealous of them, or has an issues with authority but the Empire itself is wonderful. I mean that with absolutely no sarcasm. -
They can't hang. These imperial pilots with some of the best abilities in the game, are on outdated ships. Soontir, Vader, inquisitor, Jax, whisper,OL would see play on almost any ship. They would all be sooooo much better in almost any other ship. Outside of whipser, each is a wave 1-2 ship or the better version of those ships. They can't compete as they haven't been updated to do so.

When we started playing heavily in wave 2 we missed this somehow...PTL interceptors who can BR or Boost twice in a round were amazing. Sadly, that's the arc dodging ability they would need to see competitive play these days. And, again, would make an amazing pilot ability.
-
ETA-2 is small enough and agile enough.
-
I think it's an amazing pilot ability and surprised we didn't get it with Imperial Vetrans. I love bombs and I can see how they would quickly be too good vs. too many things: pretty much anything with 5hp or less.

Not enough bothans have died yet I guess.

I remember...In the old days we didn't have these fancy computer bots reporting lists for us... my ctrl, C, and V keys never worked quite the same after tournament season... thanks again MJ!

If you could change one pilot ability, what would it be?
Rakky Wistol replied to CRCL's topic in X-Wing
Lorrir: When performing a barrel roll action, you may use the ( 1) or ( 1) template instead of the ( 1) template. Choose one enemy ship at range 1 that does not have you in it's firing arc and assign that ship one stress token. -
Duchess Countdown Oicunn... there's a story for you!

Try to convince the wife to finally watch Rogue One. She's been holding out, worried that it can't compete with the hype.

Bounty Hunters- Imperial and Scum cross over. Imperial contractor- Firespray-31 generic Imperial Supply chain: squad benefit Highly Modified- Double mod or tech slot firespray Prison Transport Retrofit- Firespray Illlictis for empire BH crew for "hire" in all factions A BH crew that allows you to use unique rebel or scum crew once a game. Title that allows an illicit and tech slot for scum lots of options... Rebels... well who cares? But I'm sure they hired BHs somewhere that someone can make it work.

Who is looking forward to the 2nd edition of the game?
Rakky Wistol replied to devotedknight's topic in X-Wing
I don't know that we're quite there yet but we are certainly getting close enough. Here are my thoughts: Has to be done via update kit Update all old cards with new text. Add 1 different color dice for attack and defense (elite dice) that are available to "advanced" ships out of the box and all via upgrade OR Increase red and green dice to increase granularity and differentiation between ships OR separate accuracy and damage. Update dials Waves 1-4 Do away with MANY pilots and upgrades or significantly recost them. -
The one that makes us all feel nothing: nothing.

So, we're just getting "Empire Strikes Back 2" then, huh? Sad.
Rakky Wistol replied to AllWingsStandyingBy's topic in X-Wing
I kinda think you don't really like Star Wars. Or any movie ever since it's always a remake of one that's already been done. Which is the Hero's Journey. Which is what Star Wars was based on. -

Rakky Wistol replied to AllWingsStandyingBy's topic in X-Wing
Without reading another 9 pages: you are complining that The Last Jedi might be too much like what many, most (maybe), consider the best Film (notice the difference between film and movie) of the franchise?!?!?!!!?!?!? [insert Wookiee curse words here] [and here] [insert halfhearted response to rant about previously misused/misquoted furry language here] -
1. I'm pretty good but know I'd have to practice to get next level good. Who has time for that? 2. I really hate this part. I really dislike that the most iconic ships in the game are some of the worst. It was bad for awhile but at this point its starting to grind my gears a bit more. I really have no interest in Kwing + sabine spam (though I do love a good bombing... just wished it was imperials) or 3 toilet seats or triple defenders ( the best teaching list turned powerhouse turned less fun but still a good teaching tool list). 3. There is that time thing. Especially when competing with "fun flying" instead of "fly the best". Tournaments are out for me for the near future anyway.
-
I'm beginning to think you are right. I really really hope you're wrong. Bounty hunters with Imperial contracts should be the Scum/Imperial cross over just like the rebel scum cross overs.

Would Luke turning to the darkside save Star Wars?
Rakky Wistol replied to Shadow345's topic in X-Wing
Luke, No. Rey, Yes. Family reunited when Kylo returns to the light... makes sense. Makes it a family movie. Too easy. And, in fact, it could be awesome. But who is Snoke?
