Decimator unpowered / overpowered
Is not exactly the same since in chess you have the same good and bad units, here you choose your units. I dont think this game is broken at all. But it wouldnt be that weird if FFG screwed up in some point and one ship became the absolute best ship and you only saw that ship on every match.
Fortunatelly, for now, it has only happened that some ships have disappeared. But that is easily fixable with Aces packs. People complain about the falcon or the bwing, but they are not decisive for a good list.
That being said. Xkcd is awesome.
Edited by melminiaturesEverything your opponent uses, and especially if they win, is over-powered. Everything you like to use, if you lose, is obviously under-powered.
Actually for such a point hog the VT49 is, I'd like to see it bumped from firepower 3 to 4. My only real complaint though is tiny little dorsal and ventral turrets. Meanwhile the yt2400 has massive guns for firepower 2. I'm considering swapping them.

It's not the size of the gun, but the speed at which the ionizing chamber accelerates the quantum particles to a hyper active state.
So its not the size of the gun but how fast we say "pew, pew, pew!" ?
Let's not try to apply reasoning to anything in Star Wars now. I just want big guns on a big ship.

Absolutely not.
Imp players are always complaining about Rebels having turrets. Now that imps get one too, they want a power buff to it too? A four dice turret primary? Are you nuts?
Absolutely not.

Hey, we rule the galaxy, dammit. If we want a 5 dice turret, we should have a 5 dice turret. We're only demanding a 4 dice turret out of sportsmanship.

Guns don't kill people. Darth Vader choking the lack-of-faith out of you kills people.

I can see why I mean the phantom got a 4 die primary "because" why not keep expecting it right?
I giggle every time I imagine the complaints we'll get from rebels once decimator hits "turrets are broken my a-wings stand no chance".

The outrider is probably modeled with the heavy laser canon turret already in place. Don't compare the decimators turret go that, compare it to the guns on the falcon instead.
You know, I think I've played that game of chess MANY times. Pawn, Bishop, Queen, Queen - mate. Done that to many people.

Experimental interface and expose. Problem solved.
Lets let the Decimator officially be released before we determine how OP or not the ship is.

I find your refusal to admit the sky is falling to be most disturbing!
Everything the other guy has is always OP and your stuff always need a buff.
Funny link, but has ANYONE said the Decimator is broken? 0 Agility is a pretty huge balancer against all that hull/shield.
The amount of cards in this game that can be legitimately debated as under/over-powered is fantastically small. As someone who suffered lengthy bouts of Games Workshop Stockholm Syndrome, it's really nice to see a company that cares about balance, quality, and their customers the way FFG does.
I mean it's even possible they've made a ship that can use expose reliably.
Absolutely not.

yeah, what he said. how many red dice you think the deathstar would throw down?
Absolutely not.

i think the decimator will die fast in epic play. finally give the corevette something to shoot at it can actually hit. If I was going to play epic as an imperial, I think I would leave the decmator in the box. Now, In a 150 point game, it could be awesome.
Yeah a Deci will get eaten up by a Corvette before it even gets in range. Hell the Shuttle does and it has at least 1 agility.

Not if my defenders all armed with HLC kill it first MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
But no your right its screwed in that instance.

But letting the Decimator take all the punishment from the Rebel Scum to destroy it leaves the rest of your Imperial Peace Keeper fleet intact to return fire on the corvette. If losing the Decimator means I take out the CR-90 with everything else I fly, then the Decimator crew has made a worthy sacrifice of their lives for the Empire!!!
EDIT: Nevermind, misread the post I was quoting.
Don't forget that the corvette goes down first. The decimator with EU can get inside of range 3 on the first turn if placed correctly. Second turn it moves out of the way and that is that for the corvette's big guns. if the decimator have a proton bomb on it will make the corvette hesitant to just run at it too. Oicunn could be crazy in the fur ball world of epic play. The decimator will see epic play. Too early to say if it will be very good, but There is too much possibility for fun not to.
