OK guys 'sell' B wings to me.

By Gadge, in X-Wing

I know you want game mechanics, but this is a fluff reaction to walking into the Slayn & Korpil showroom.

"Wanna give captital ships the old one two and secure your corner of the quadrant? This little f**ker sends Imperial Star Destroyers crashing into the nearest planetary gravity field while grating your parmesan.

heheh, no... i think i wanted that response as well.

The two types of response together would be diamond!

:)

To be, or not to be, that is the question—

wasn't Farlander the Y wing pilot in ANH who survives the battle of Yavin?

I'd have thought he should have been in the Y wing pack really :(

He is, but he's also the player character in X-wing, and the subsequent B-wing expansion where he, surprise, acts as a test pilot for the B-wing program.

Ah its a *very* long time since i played the xwing game and then i got Tie fighter soon after and never got around to playing xwing again for some reason.

I just remember trying to find out which Y wing pilot it was survived Yavin as i thought it was Dutch but he dies and it is Farlander

(isnt he also like a force sensitive type and later a jedi in the EU?)

Also: Keyan Farlander.

He uses stress tokens like focus tokens.

Seriously.

WTF.

Unless you use Advanced Sensors to Push then do a green move.

Yeah it was a face palm moment. I really shouldn't play after being up for 24 hours.

3 attack dice, 8 hits and advanced sensors. If you can't see the benefit in that you should play attack wing!

what more do you want

2 K Turn

most of the time i wished it was 3 k or 4 k ;)

It takes a lot of timing for it to work, doesn't it?

Pros: Very resistant to enemy fire because of shields. 2 K-turn. 3 attack dice and four at range 1.

Cons: Only one defense dice. Dial is filled with red moves with very little green to relieve stress. Can be outmaneuvered quickly.

Required Upgrades: Advanced Sensors.

The B-Wing is one of my favorite ships in the Star Wars Galaxy (tied with the A-Wing). In X-Wing the B-Wing provides excellent attack and it sustain a lot of damage before it dies. Personally I like to fly the B-Wing with two A-Wings and something else, I just tried the HWK-290 and it worked exceptionally.

Yes he was. He also flew a B-Wing at Endor.
