ENHANCED SCOPES USAGES

By barabelsftw, in X-Wing

What are you planning to add enhanced scopes to when it comes out?

I will probably staple it to one of my shuttles.

OGP + Enhanced Scopes and APL. Blocking everyone and hurting them.

They'll be a good option for Kagi. By moving at PS0, he'll soak more Target Locks while still shooting at PS8.

Everyone else is probably better off with FCS or Advanced Sensors.

Kagi with Scopes and Fleet Officer is one hell of a support ship.

SHUTTLE NAMED PILOTS!

Yorr is also probably a good candidate. Advanced Sensors doesn't help him due to stress, and it allows him to reliably get in position for later. I don't think it helps the OGP much. They're already PS2 and move before everything buy the lowest PS ships.

I'd only consider it for Jendon with the ST-321 title. Otherwise, he has the reverse problem of Kagi. Moving at PS0 doesn't help him if other ships haven't moved into target lock range, which forces him into a Focus. He's better off with Sensors so he can PS6 TL every turn.

I think it's pretty good even on the unnamed shuttles. As long as you don't have an Engine Upgrade it's like an "advanced sensors light" and comes in at only 1 point. As someone who uses the shuttle a lot, I would gladly pay 1 point to almost guarantee that it never gets blocked.

3 named b-wings. no more being blocked.

Except that's not how APL works; it activates when they hit you, not when you hit them.

Exactly. You get right in the way of them, then they run into you

A lot of people are considering Enhanced Scopes as a cheaper version of Advanced Sensors. They both do the same thing in preventing action blocking from low PS ships. There are some distinct differences. Being able to move first can have some advantages over performing actions first. Enhanced Scope can't be neutralized by Ion tokens but Advanced Sensors are stopped by the ionization effect. Yet Enhanced Scopes don't always guarantee actions you can still overlap obstacles during the maneuver.
