An apparently unconsidered Outrider option

By DraconPyrothayan, in X-Wing

Ya doesn't seen to be any other cannon upgrades in any of the new ships. Saw proton rockets but that's not a cannon. IMO heavy laser cannons would be nice except you better hope no one comes into range 1 of you because you won't be firing anything. Might just stay with the reg 2 dice instead and equip expose or something.

This is where Dash himself will be useful. Moving later and being able to barrel roll will always keep him at range 2 of a target. You can cover a lot of ground with a large base barrel roll. The problem being is that he will cost a billion points before adding any other cards. The 2 attack dice is pretty lame :( I don't like being "required" to play a 5 point title plus another weapon to make my big ship pack some punch.

Just not enough damage, at least on someone as point-heavy as Dash. Could work on a generic, though. However, why has nobody considered a yt-2400 with a cannon without using the outrider title. Sure, there's some novelty with the title, but I feel as if someone would have thought of that.

Some have, and essentially treat it like a firespray what you lose in damage with the Primary you gain in a "wider" arc
