I'm waiting for MajorJuggler's version- I've lost all hope that FFG can or will fix this game- but MJs has a chance to rekindle the flame.

NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW

How do you explain that the wording in the leaked changes to Advanced Slam seems to line up with the Gunship preview (you can see the side of the updated Adv. Slam card that will be in the set). If the FAQ leak was a hoax, how did they guess correctly that Adv. Slam was going to be changed? Quote from the FAQ Leak: "Advanced Slam: now becomes action bar only. " Original Adv. Slam: (5 lines of text) Picture of the preview for gunship: Notice in this picture, Adv. Slam now has 6 lines of text. Seems to me that they are correct, or else it's a HUGE coincidence.

This man gets it.

How about we just let ships roll their agility against bomb damage? Seems to me that Obiwan is using the agility of his starfighter to avoid these seismic charges. Seems like a 'duh' thing to me.

Understandable, though it's a big reason why you don't ever see Interceptors anymore. Without Old Palp they're impossible to keep alive. That and bombs, lots of bombs.

If that's how you feel, good for you. I used Palp more as a means of keeping Stealth Devices up on my Interceptors- really can't do that now. These days I pretty much just use him to force crits in RAC Kylo builds. The reason I think he's overcosted: Compare him to Sabine. I just don't think he's 6 points better than her.

It's not bad. But it's not 8 points good anymore, either. If it had also been accompanied by a cost reduction, it would see more play. If it we're 5 points (keeping it off the bomber shuttle), I'd consider squeezing it into lists more.

Whatever. The JM5K isn't powerful because of some mysterious synergy that escaped play testers. It has better EVERYTHING than everything else in the game. It's cheap, has no downsides, and will always dominate because deep down it will always be good- regardless of what the meta. Same with Nym- better everything = unbalanced game. It's not rocket science.

A little harsh? Considering the total domination of the game by the Jumpmaster for a huge amount of time? IMO they're lucky to still have jobs, plenty of aspiring game designers who would LOVE their spots.

What? They don't require to spend target lock (making them MUCH more accurate), plus if you resolve the 'Harpooned' effect, you slip a facedown damage THROUGH SHIELDS. That's before you even consider the AOE damage potential. It's better than every other missile in the game by a wide margin.

You're giving FFG a lot of credit here. I'd just be impressed if the dev team remembered to put on pants today. *I find it hilarious that this is my most liked post of all-time*

I approve of this message, joke or not.

Yes, yes there does.

The million dollar question that will determine the long-term viability of this game.

Nah. This is ScumWing. Apparantly Dengar and Nym rule the galaxy in Alex Davy's fantasy.

Vader with EU, Autothrusters, Twin Ion Mk. II, and Guidance Chips becomes seriously scary.

I hate that we have to make that clarification. It pains me.

I'M THE MAN BEHIND THE PUPPETS! THE EMPIRE WILL RISE AGAIN! THE DEATH STAR WAS AN INSIDE JOB! HYPERSPACE CHEM-TRAILS ARE TURNING ALL THE EWOKS GAY!

Yeah, I get that, but Miranda's current position at the top of the pile isn't because she's undercosted and overstatted. She fits in a really good place in the meta. She also has the advantage of having been around longer and people being better with her. She's where she is because she fits in lists perfectly with lots of synergy. I guess I'm not sure what we're arguing any more. My assertion is that Nym is grossly mis-designed, getting WAY too many stats, upgrades, slots, EPT, great dial, etc. for too few points. Is Miranda a better bomber? Sure in some situations, yes, probably most. Is she a grossly undercosted mega-poorly designed anal tumor of a ship like Nym? No.

I still stand by my assertion that Nym is better and has no downsides. 1pt more than Miranda gets him a whole slew of stuff (most importantly an EPT). That's broken IMO. But to be honest Miranda is too good as well, and needs a nerf.

I'm actually really impressed. This is like someone doing their doctoral thesis in Writing on one of those coupon pamphlets you get in the mail.

I'd put their pilot abilities on par. Miranda will Regen 3-4 shields in a typical battle. Scum Nym will prevent 2-6 bomblet damage to himself in the course of a game. Pretty comparable. Rebel Nyms ability is worse, sure, but hey he's a two faction ship- so I'd say that counts for something too.

Not that it matters which is best, you can take both! And yes, I'd say Nym is better than Miranda, he's statted better (1 point more for: more HP, +1 Attack, and an EPT slot, plus a MUCH (SO MUCH) better dial). The only thing Miranda has that he doesn't is SLAM. However, Nym has Adv. Sensors, Barrel Roll, and PS 10- which I think is FAR better than SLAM/Adv. Slam. Miranda's not bad, mind you. But Nym is on a whole other level of points efficiency.
