    Dunno how I feel about Odanan's version - I'll just rattle off things that strike me.

     

    • it was never hard to hit but neither is 2 agility, and it was built like a Bolo. 2/2/4/4?
    • for Imperial ships with minimal pilots (Phantom/Punisher/fo/sf), they definitely seem to like whole-cloth callsigns over oddly-shoehorned minor characters
    • the torpedo slot, while fluffy, feels kind of odd to me. How about a generic Xg/1 title that functions in an Extra Munitions/Expanded Magazines sense? Would fit with the trend of auto-include titles (and parallel the TIE/* ones) and keep the mod slot open, without requiring a torp slot (which we already have the Punisher and Bomber for if necessary)
    • I really wish they weren't limiting Tech upgrades to TFA+ships so far, because the Hyperspace Comms thingy from the Upsilon would be perfect here

    I would argue that a minority of people wanted the /fo because everyone thought the /sf was cooler.

    No argument, but I would have preferred if Lucisney made an upgrade to the Interceptor, not line fighter.  Nostalgia and fanservicing doesn't take into account military logistics and competency in the SWverse apparently.
     

    Who says they wont in the next movie...?

    Personally I'm kind of disappointed that the the /sf didn't have Interceptor wings. Same 2-seat cockpit and external wrap-around engine layout, same deuterium tanks ringed around the connecting struts, but those beautiful Interceptor wings. And completely removing the standard below-the-cockpit TIE lasers in favor of the whole bottom section of the ball being a combined turret assembly and missile magazine.

    I would have loved an update to the Advanced, similar to the Avenger. We can always dream.

    I just move on. Instead of the new canon books, I'm thinking of starting The Culture series.

    This is probably a great move, just start with Player of Games instead of whichever one's the chronological start.

    In other news, Rakky Wistol continues to struggle with the concept of hashtags.  We'll bring you more as we have it.

    Sweet, I made the news twice for the same thing... I must be doing something right!  Doubly so!

     

    You keep this up and I'll just be more famous!

    try Strange Eons - it's noticeably more accurate with fonts and such.

     

    I'd suggest a reference card for large-base decloak, dropping the template to 1-straight instead of 2 so it works like the old large barrel roll.

     

    Considering that, the dial should probably be approached very carefully, maybe something like the Aggressor with nothing faster than 3-speed except a 4K. Would definitely be interesting with Juno. Is large-base 1-hard+decloak scary enough to have its only hard turns at 3?

     

    Would it have an asymmetrical dial given the off-center engine placement?

     

    Maybe:

    4:      K

    3: TBSBT 

    2:  BSB  

    1:  BSB  

    The assimetric dial is not a bad idea, but I think this ship deserves better maneuvers. (Even the lambda has more green :) )

    Could probably give it the 2-speed turns (both in white?), it's just that everything on the dial has to have decloak factored into it, and I'm not sure it should have a green turn. Just for example, decloak+2-hard turn is essentially a 1-hard in the opposite direction, except that it ends up about a base-length behind the normal large base's 1-turn.

     

    4:      K

    3: TBSBT 

    2:   TBSBT    

    1:  BSB

    Rotating laser cannons sound great to add, but introducing this mechanic in the rebels show and after the rebel aces have done their work doesn't put this idea to happening in the near future.

    The biggest problem with introducing this into the game is they'd have to re-print all the current pilots with an aux arc.

    And so as we discussed on here and on at least 2 other threads in the past, it would be much easier for them to releae a specific pilot.

    What'd be nice is if the the Episode 8 A-wing (RZ-2?) has rotating laser cannons. That way we don't have to worry about it for every existing A-wing pilot, plus it would be a good way to distinguish the new one from the old.
    Again I don't see FFG revamping the A-wing as it is, but if they introduce the new model from episode 8 like the T-70 in comparison to the original x wing, (a similar ship yet different in it's own respects) we could possibly see this happening. That is, if the powers that be even decide to have rotating cannons on A-wings.

    Imagine an A-Wing with the same attack dice as it has now, but SLAM instead of Boost (maybe a slightly worse dial) and a title that lets it attack after SLAMming.

    Welcome to the forums by the way.  There have been many ship requests/votes on the board but FFG's magic selection criteria is unkown to us.  Feel free to look around, but you won't find a formal area to do so.

    OP is undercover FFG...we need to vote, people!

     

    If he was undercover FFG he didn't need a poll to know the most requested ship.

    :ph34r:

    Maybe-YOU! (gasps)... are the undercover FFG!? (cue dramatic music).

     

     

    Well, people's tastes change and maybe he... uh I mean, you need ideas for Wave 13.

    Bet a million against that.

    It's entirely possible, and pretty shady. There are ways to turn off ads like that, though. I highly recommend AdBlock, which will turn off ads entirely. However, if he must still see them, I'm pretty sure you can disable the specific ads in browser settings somewhere.

    Honestly, I'm disgusted that alcohol companies target their ads towards people seeking help.

    uMatrix and uBlock Origin are practically mandatory these days.

    ^I don't really see Sabine as badass, tho

    She's more like, idk, a caricature of what teenage boys think of as badass, not girls. Heck, I wouldn't have been amused as a teenager, but then I wouldn't have predicted Twilight being popular either.So glad I'm out of that demographic.

    My pre-teen daughter and her friends all seem to like her a lot.

    See

    So glad I'm out of that demographic.

    if you look at the dial it has a green 2 bank, which seems to indicate it will be more mobile than the Lambda.

    Just means it's faster, which with a large base and single arc isn't the best thing. Odds are it doesn't have 1-speed green banks, maybe not even 1-speed greens at all.

    Not going to lie, my first reaction to the quad was a disbelieveing "...noooooo way"

    But that was soon followed by "I HAVE to make this work somehow"

    I have a real soft spot for anomalies such as the star viper and K wing, and the quad is VERY much an anomaly

    The fact that there's probably a godlike blocker beneath what is easily the most adorably pathetic looking ship in the game just makes me grin ear to ear

    It's got so much character for its five seconds of screen time :P

    It's basically 4 engines strapped to a seat. The spirit of Chuck Yaeger is strong. 

    I'm gonna make it in KSP and report back!
