    True, a lot. There's more: his room of possibilities is way more larger than anyother Viper. Because as an opponent vs a standard Viper i can just think about blocking only the maneuvers that makes you able to shoot me, whenever I can be safe if you will do all the others (because of your standard arc of fire). But him? He turns a lot of these "blind" maneuvers into "fire position" maneuvers. 

    Even without ADV, he still way to maneuvrable than any other Vipers.

    What is the best EPT to make sure he still has modifications? Adv Sensors is cool in some situaitons I guess, but he lso has that slot. Problem with Starviper was and still is that it can't clear stress. So this dude doing red maneuvers is not that impressive.

    He starts bottom left, and would move to a rather bad spot bottom right. He also has Advanced Sensors equipped. So he barrel rolls top left first, and then talon rolls to the top right with his bank.

    No mistake I can see here, just inefficient communication.

    Perfect. So the  move to the right is just a "potential" one that is unused.

    That is strikingly close to my house rules. Just add in the obligatory cost adjustment.

    So we're getting revised pilot abilities in that thing too?

    I flew against a pretty tough pair on Saturday. It was advanced sensors, PTL brobots with Ion cannons. (B and C). 

     

    At least one Ion Cannon sounds pretty cool versus Nym lists.

    This was noticed as soon as the card was spoiled, and it's probably one of its best uses. They're solid, but their single greatest problem is that they're the same price as a TLT Y-wing, and living in a meta that isn't hugely friendly to their firepower - they really want to shoot at medium to close range at ships with limited defensive tech, because the enemy gets to defend twice.

    Get a few more low-agi ships out on the field, however, and there shall be glory. Had they existed during the days of B-wings and Decimators? There would have been ruinous lamentation. :D

    One interesting possibility does remain, to mine eyes: They're an excellent TLT Y-wing counter. Same price, and as long as they get the other guy into their sights without taking more than a round or so's unanswered fire, and those 5 modded dice a round will chew them to breakfast.

    ... Pity it won't work so well on Aggressors.

    Cool until after the first opening joust, then the TLT ones have advantage for the rest of the game. All depends on if they get some off the board early.

    Just wait for the Episode VIII A-wing. It's a near clone of the original but power creep dictates it'll be much better.

    Yeah, since those fancy new TIE Aggressors were soooo power creeped T_T With their wave 3 statline/cost...

    Are you talking the hugely inflated stats we have for the Z-95 in X-Wing?  Being generous if the Headhunter was satted appropriately in game it would get 1 attack, 1 defence, 1 hull and 1 shield.  The dial would be substantially different too.  Something along the lines of 1 straight and banks white and a 2 straight red.  It would also loose the target lock action.  Remember these things are supposed to be significantly inferior to scratch built Uglies.

    "As long as they keep on making upgrades for this baby, the Z-95 will never become outdated."

    It's still a popular ship during the Rebellion era and was often modified to be pretty decent even if it couldn't hang with X-wing and TIE fighters. It's in-game chassis reflects that, by being slightly worse than those 2. Plus, some claim that it had a "tighter turn" than the X-wing, so would have been cool with a 1-turn. If it's too strong in 1 aspect, it's probably the 2 shields instead of 1, but they didn't want a ship worth less than 12.

    It's like saying that the son of a car racing champion is more likely to drive a cab. Of course it makes sense for Kylo to be a pilot; of a TIE Silencer, not a shuttle. It wouldn't even be in the Empire's mindset: these are VIPs, they may fly fighters in battle, but they are flown around by their staff when riding transport ships. Picturing Vader or Palpatine flying a lambda is just silly, and it should be the same for Kylo Ren on an upsilon.

    Maybe he likes that ship for personal reasons, could have been the first one he was taught to fly something :P
