Woot woot

Can't wait

It's been way too long between casts.

I blame greg.

Looking forward to the next cast as always!

Also, since the last cast I had actually updated my MathWing on Z-95 durability to take into account different metas, and critical hits. The results are basically the same though. The Z-95 is a hair more durable than the standard TIE Fighter, somewhere in the range of 101% to 106% of a TIE. They are very close. It makes the Z-95 a steal at 12 points for PS2.

Note if only there was an under costed howlrunner rebel equivalent.

Etahn's ability is good (though I haven't crunched the numbers yet), but E-wings are already about 2-3 points too high, in my (MathWing) opinion.

I think the idea that the Academy (or bandit) needs help to be effective is misleading. Sure howl makes the other ties better but they were pretty good for their points already.

True. Howlrunner increases a TIE's damage output by about a third though, which, when combined with an already point efficient ship, is pretty devastating.

Major, Have you ever posted a table of the ships with their cost vs. your math-wing cost? I know I'd be interested in what you value the ships at in your math-wing environment.

That thread lists only the cost efficiency in % values. If you want the jousting "value" or overall predicted value, then you can either do some math by hand, or download the Excel file linked in that thread.
