Shuttles, Defenders, and Phantoms. Oh my!

By bubblepopmei, in X-Wing

If you plan on passing target locks from Jendon to Echo, then you are flying Echo completely wrong. Echo does not want to be tied at range one to any ship. The whole point of Echo is to dance around the table avoiding arcs. If you want to feed Vessery, how about Omicron Group Pilot w/ ST-321, and Weapons Engineer? You have three ships who can fly independent of each other, while still benefitting each other.

This is the exact build that I have been playing around with.

Omicron Group Pilot + ST-321 + Weapons Engineer

Echo + VI + Adv. Cloaking Device

Colonel Vessery

That leaves 3 points to play around with since I want to get it to 100pts so that Echo can try to move last. Been playing around with what 3 points of upgrades works best on Vessery.

Stealth or Outmanuever on Vessery?

I'd go with Adrenaline Rush on Vessery, and use the last two to change Veteran's Instinct to either Push the Limit or Advanced Sensors on Echo. Or possibly Fire-Control Systems.

PTL + Adv. Cloak gives you the PTL + Turr Phennir interaction: I perform a cloak action and a Barrel-Roll/Evade/Focus to get out of your arc.

Adv. Sensors on Echo is ... stupidly mobile. Hypermobile is no longer a strong enough phrase. Echo Decloak + Barrel-Roll before you move... Hell, even if you weren't able to cloak the turn before, you could both Cloak AND Decloak before you move (just not a double decloak), to flash into everywhere.

FCS gives you a damage boost that lets you use your Focus defensively. When you're dealing with 4 or more dice, Focus gives better average evasion than an Evade (Well, it's equal expected odds, but the Focus has a greater chance of dodging specifically 2, 3, or 4 damage, and Evade does better with the extreme outliers).

I think I'd still keep Col. Vessery naked of 2nd weapons. I want my darlings as toothsome as they are winsome. I considered an Ion canon on Vessery but I want her to eat the targets not play with her food.

Broak Vessery is male.

This is a reversal of the regular gender correction on this forum, so I'm a bit confused.

Hahaha you get easily confused then. I'll gender swap anyone I wish to. Please feel free to make your confused troll posts some more.

That said, the Ion is best used against B-wings which Vessery can probablybdeal with without. Heavy Lasers on the other hand, have a very high chance of 4 damage on Vessery with focus and target lock.

Creating a combative post that is entirely beside the point is trolling. It needed no review or mention. Yours is also more akin to trolling.

I understand quite well that your boys club doesn't like girls. Try not to cause a fuss when a girl tries to identify with some of the toys she plays with.

Try using Outmaneuver on Vessery. Almost every Rebel ship will hate you. 1 Agility ships become sitting ducks. Add an HLC and it just gets disgustingly painful.

Ok, stop. Walk away from my thread. This is being a really good discussion and you just stepped up the insults when you learned I'm a girl. Thanks for naming the girls in the game. Totally equal. Totally balanced. Ooh, maybe we can be princess Leia soon too! Oh happy day!

Thanks for another example of how aggressively you will pursue and maintain misogyny. Now stop talking.

I'm not following this anyone. I'll get the vapours.

Wow, angry much!

I didn't see any sexist or misogyn comments coming from either Aminar or Dracon. He would have done the same if a player, boy or girl nothing to do with your personal gender, would have called Howlrunner a guy. They are just giving some respect to the characters. I'm sure they don't care that all your academy, obsidian, saber squadron or whatever generic pilots are girls. Is Luke Skywalker or Han solo a girl in your world?

So again. I'm not insulting you. I'm asking you to treat the characters in this game as who they are, because honestly some of us care about these characters for who they are. I don't know Vessery from Adam. But some people here do.

Another bystander chiming in. You overreacted when somebody corrected you on gender by calling them a troll. I've seen people correct people for referring to Howlrunner as a "he" multiple times. It's standard procedure here.

Nobody is singling you out for your gender. It seems like, if anything, your inflammatory response is trying to trigger a gender argument more than what anybody else has said. People aren't biting the bait.

You are being overly defensive.

Someone corrected the gender. Then, he said a joke (it had nothing to do with misogyny) because normally most people confuse the female characters as males. Nothing more, nothing less.
