proton torps anyone?

By oddeye, in X-Wing

I would need to see the damage cards of the corvette, but if the criticals are as damning as they are to the transport then a few proton torpedoes could be fun to knock out the front section early on.

Warheads in general will get more use with the epic format I'm sure.

I see that happening as well. having 200-300 points to make a list gives a lot more room for upgrades / combinations. I think we will also see the return of the y-wing in a lot more lists. To be honest I haven't even started looking at making an epic list. I can barely decide on a standard list to bring.

Needless to say I see myself bringing a list of 7-8 y's or 7-8 x's with torps. I'm a few ships short so I might have to do 4 of each for now. On a side note, the transport will come in really handy with large groups of fighters with missiles or torps. It can help assign focus / remove stress / debuff opponents fighters.

I think a balanced list in Epic w/ 4 or so bombers loaded to the gills with ordnance then the rest fighters would be good against Huge ships. Let the fighters work at the Escorts and keep them busy, while the bombers pound the big ships into space dust.
