X-Wing Confessions

By Tailsgod, in X-Wing

I haven't played a physical match for more than half a year.

I'm still ordering a Raider

I like flying Corran and Etahn stacked up the wazoo and against other lists

E-Wings are also my favorite ship followed closely by Phantoms

*upchuck*

*swallows upchuck*

You, sir, are commendable for admitting to such a horrendous malady of the heart, but I still despise you for this sin against good sense.

I love the lambda shuttle even though it is an ugly little sea cow.

UGLY?? How can you malign such a fair bovine beauty as the Lambda. I have been in love and awe of that shape since my childhood.

My confession: I like big bombers and I cannot lie.

I like ordinance.

I like Autoblaster.

My current favorite build uses both of the above, and is 4-0.

I spend WAY more time reading forum posts about X-wing than I spend playing X-wing.

I've never flown Fat Han, and I've never flown against it.

I've never flown a true 6+ TIE swarm, and I've never flown against one.

(Those last two aren't really confessions, just odd coincidences in my matches over the past year since I started playing.)

Edit: one more:

I have never posted or read a post in the "Imerial HUGE ships... I'm calling it" thread, currently at 94 pages long.

The first time I saw this game being played I thought it looked a bit rubbish. A year later I played it and got over my insanity!

I swoosh my ships around the room going "pew pew pew" ......... And I'm not ashamed ........ But I am 41.

Same goes for my Star Wars Lego (an ever-growing collection).

I attained 2nd Dan in Kendo - but when I started, it was all about dressing up like Darth Vader and hitting people with a lightsaber (shinai).

I gave out a little squeal when I saw the Ep VII trailer.

I liked the Clone Wars and am liking Rebels.

I've watched the Holiday Special twice.

I remain unashamed of any of the above.

My usual list building ends with "I wonder if I can fit Rexler Brath in there somehow".

I like ordinance.

I spend WAY more time reading forum posts about X-wing than I spend playing X-wing.

I read way too much and play way too little.

Edit: corrected spelling and grammar

Another E-wing lover here and proud of it:) Only issue I have with them is they're still a tad bit too expensive to field with the possible exception of Corran.

Also I hate flying against swarms as I do not know how to effectively deal with so many ships coming at me unless I'm flying a Fat Falcon list. I can handle Phantoms better than I can handle swarms and its still the list to beat in my eyes.

I build more lists containing X-wings than anything else, but I seldom use them because I hate flying it (it handles like a house-brick).

I flew a Whisper list at the last regionals even though I kind of feel like it's cheating.

I've only ever flown a phantom in tournaments, never once in a casual game.

Outside of tournaments (where I have to), I've never used the same list twice in a row.

I once made a claim (true at the time) never to have been involved in a game where a ship flew off the board. My very next game, I accidentally flew Krassis Trelix off the board.

I have had to explain to my wife that, no there are no ejector seats in the little ships and no I do not cry when they die(most times).

I mostly play epic so my ability to play standard games is getting stale.

I have to fly X-wings... the more the better. i want to buy more (own 5 already) but as they cant fit into a 100 point game i am managing to hold back.

I don't play as much as i would like but but i am converting some guys at work (not hard when they used to play 40k and are huge Star Wars fans...)

I like ordinance.

I read way too much and play way to little

Don't we all?

I talk to my little space ship toys... sometimes.

:ph34r:

I'm a collector more than a player and when I do play the game it's by my self....... And my wife always catches me playing by my self and laughs at me. Sob!

Solo play actually works for this game because of the movement and the rest is simply running a fair scenario. For we long lived extremely experienced game masters, solo scenarios are awesome. It is no different than playing a video game.

The models are way more fun than pixels, there is that vast difference.

:lol:

I like to make the tie scream noise when I move my fighters.

And I'm reallly good at it too.

Yup that goes back to talking to them too. I am very good at it also.

Kind of makes me want an informal contest thread where people record themselves making SW noises, upload the video to youtube, and paste the links in as entries...

When I have nobody to play with I play with myself.

I love ships that can barrel role in the game... I love TIE Bombers , TIE Defenders, and TIE- Interceptors

I like the Defender more than the Phantom and will field a Defender befor a Phantom

E-Wings are a guilty pleasure and I dont play Rebels but I want a YT-2400 and an E-Wing just to play for the fun of it.

My girlfriend doesn't like my gaming hobby.

Me: NAME might be coming over to play a game of x-wing.

Girlfriend: Didn't you play that already this week?

Me: You're watching tv, didn't you already do that this week?

Girlfriend: !!!

My confession is that ive really got into EU stuff... probably too late as a lot of its getting axed :)

I used to be an OT purist but a lot of well put posts on here have convinced me that *more* star wars isnt a bad thing, some eu sucks (vong etc) but some of the comics are epic.

So while i used to slag em off and hate them i've really got to like both e wings and defenders

I'm stil not 100 per cent sold on the look of the ewing but i find them fun in the game.

I hate asymmetric ships and refuse to fly them.

YTs, Bombers, and B-Wings if they're on their side.

heheh, odd but i can understand it.

My wife has her generic ships id numbers as prime numbers and it really annoys me as i like to have them sequential by squadron.

So my A wings are 31, 32, 33 etc

B wings are 21, 22, 23 etc

(in my head its '2nd flight, 3rd ship... like 'this is two one calling in' )

Sians out of sequence numbers bug me but they make her happy as shes a maths geek
