Offswitch 67 Posted December 19, 2015 This is true. Poe has and proves his status in the movie. We know he is a cut above from the opening scrawl and have this confirmed by the villain. Then he goes and walks the walk. Other than surviving both Death Stars, Wedges reputation and ability is all old EU really. He doesn't do anything to earn ace status beyond survive in the films. In the battle of Endor he ends up behind a Tie Interceptor. In an X-wing. Pretty **** hard. 4 knavelead, BCooper85, Scopes and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhantomFO 9,103 Posted December 19, 2015 Needs his PS upped to 10. That is all. Nah, still a rookie compared to Cheese Wedge But like, Wedge didn't actually do anything impressive in the movies. He shot a couple TIE Fighters and threw some torpedoes at a big giant still object with no defenses whatsoever. Poe on the other hand did that and then some. Minor ep 7 spoiler The very first time we actually see Poe fly a ship, he gets shot down by ordnance. PS8 is fine. 5 knavelead, TheycamefromBEHIND, TasteTheRainbow and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daft Serious 13 Posted December 19, 2015 Poe needs to pick any card he wants from the deck when he deals damage. Not just to the hull either. For each point of damage Poe deals he picks a damage card from the deck and deals it to the target, face up. He also never runs out of torpedoes. Also, I don't know which t-70 pilot was named "Yolo Ziff" but we need that in this game too. 1 Baron Soontir Fel reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I don't know which t-70 pilot was named "Yolo Ziff" but we need that in this game too. Based on the scene at Moz's casino, it seems that his ability should read: "When Poe Dameron deals the last point of damage to a ship, he may immediately make an additional attack with his primary weapon." 1 quantumsheep reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarcon 673 Posted December 20, 2015 Every time I fly against Poe, it is either Poe or the Stresshog that dies first. Poe always dies in one or two rounds of concentrated fire. It's a good ship, but he remains agility 2... 1 LordPasty reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't because Wedge isn't a good pilot so much as it is the film techniques differed so much back then and they couldn't make it as impressive as they can now Are you seriously using meta/real world limitations to argue the capability of pilot skill? For real, are you..? Poe Dameron had a better special effects budget and the best korean animators of all time. Poe Dameron also had more than five minutes of screentime. Darth Vader was an ace pilot in A New Hope and the movie showed it despite the 1977 special effects. Wedge was just a guy who kept inexplicably surviving. Basically. Now, to his credit... He DID fly a T-65 X-Wing through the Death Star II and THAT AIN'T EASY..! But to his discredit Lando did it better. Honestly, I think Lando should be PS8. Because he's sure as hell better than most pilots out there. **** that man can fly..! I mean, not only did he fly it through the Death Star II, but he aced bigtime in the fleet battle! He was a huge target, but outflew countless TIE Fighters. Hell, honestly... I sustain that he's equal if not better than Han. Han's good, but is he REALLY better than Lando..? #TeamLando Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lickintoad 146 Posted December 21, 2015 Minor ep 7 spoiler The very first time we actually see Poe fly a ship, he gets shot down by ordnance. PS8 is fine. To be fair, Poe's not checked out on the TIE/fo. The fact that he figured out the startup sequence in the amount of time he did, flew through the superstructure of a star destroyer on his first flight and then juked three missiles speaks volumes to his skill. His gunner's excitability notwithstanding. 1 BCooper85 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulf 911 Posted December 21, 2015 I doubt the TIE/fo mass produced ship is significantly harder to fly that a regular TIE fighter. It's probably easier since it can handle the stress of maneuvers better. X-wing pilots get a chance to fly TIEs in simulators, if I'm remembering X-wing the PC game correctly. X-wing the PC game is canon to reality. As far as Wedge surviving, that's the mark of a veteran. Poe Dameron did all those fancy maneuvers with the help of his droid. R2-D2 was murdered by Darth Vader before Luke made his shot down the exhaust port. Is Jar Jar Binks dead by now at least? 1 TheycamefromBEHIND reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
