does the TIE/x1 title signal the end of new sensor upgrades?

By nikk whyte, in X-Wing

from now on, the designers will have to take into account that the advanced will essentially get it for free.

It's still a 2 dice attack ship. Not that hard to take into account and to not break things.

It doesn't matter, because the Advanced was about 4 points overcosted across the board. For example, even if you take FCS, you're STILL paying 2 more points than you should.

free sensor jammer should be fun.

No, it certainly doesn't spell the end for new system upgrades. It makes them more appropriately priced for this overpriced ship.

Nope.

No, it does not.

If anything having more small ships with sensor slots will let them make more.

Interesting! Darth Vader already have TIE Advanced x1 title. Will he have bonus for it?

No he doesn't. Now you get a title that represents in rules the type of Tie advanced by fluff he is flying, nothing else.

Of the upgrades that are already released, two are borderline useless for the Advanced (Scopes, FCS) relative to other options, Accuracy Corrector will really only be great for lower PS ships, and Sensor Jammer just makes a ship that people saved for last into a ship that they'll save for last and need to use Focus tokens against, making it borderline at best.

It's just fluff text. The title doesn't cost anything anyway.

Vader with Accuracy Corrector and Engine Upgrade - Barrel+Boost every turn for no stress and get 2 hit results guaranteed.

Vader with Sensory Jammers and Lone Wolf - Focus+Evade, flip an enemy hit to a focus, and re-roll a blank agility result.

Anyone with Advanced Targeting Computer and Prockets - Focus for 5 dice + 1 crit result.

Bubble its primary weapon only so wont help with prokets.

Oh - well that's okay, the other two are cool!

Plus just replace with FCS instead of ATC.
