I apologize in advance if I've missed similar threads but I haven't been reading the boards lately.

So I was putting an experimental list together and I noticed the WSF is substantially better than the ORS considering the 3 point difference between them. Observe

30 points

Wild Space Fringer

D2

A2

H5

S5

Unreleased

27 points

Outer Rim Smuggler

D2

A1

H6

S4

So for 3 points you get barrel roll, +1 PS, and trading 1 hull for 1 shield. This is a dramatic improvement for so little. And it makes me think generic 1300's are destined for the scrap heap, not that they saw much use before. If you were curious, the idea I was playing with was something like this:

100 Points

The only advantage the 1300 still has is 2 crew slots.

Didnt the ORS see some use as a dedicated blocker? But yes, the Wild spacer will probably replace the ORS. Of course it is entirely possible that the Wild spacer will see little use as well.

The only advantage the 1300 still has is 2 crew slots.

Woops, forgot that. Still I think you are still getting a major upgrade for 3 points.

The only advantage the 1300 still has is 2 crew slots.

The 2400 has missiles, a cannon, and a crew slot. Given only 2 attack dice, I'd say that the generic 2400 has the better upgrade bar
