New player thoughts

By Gallows, in X-Wing

Until then: take Darth for fun, but some other ship entirely if you want to win. :)

I disagree. I came in 2nd at a Wave 3 event with a Vader list. I was actually thinking of going to one this weekend with Vader, but couldn;t make it for family reasons. He isn't brilliant, but he's not non-competative.

Wave 3? Of course Vader was good in a Wave 3 meta. A good ole Rookie X-wing was great in Wave 3. Now they are considered too expensive. Vader is good, but he's not great by any means. He will be great in a couple months once the Imp Epic ship drops. Hell, Vader might even become slightly OP. :P

Yeah, they carefully worded Autothrusters to be only useable on a ship with native Boost. .

The wording doesn't require a native Boost action. If a ship were able to get the Boost action from an upgrade it would be able to use Autothrusters. The currently released ships and upgrades are what prevent Autothrusters from being equipped on a ship without having Boost natively.

My thought: FUN is a relative term.

Some people may not like playing with turrets because they really like all the maneuver aspects of the game.

Some people may like playing with turrets because they aren't the best at plotting maneuvers and such but still enjoy being able to shoot at things.

Some people dislike playing against Turrets because their normally strategy is to make the game no fun for opponents by denying the chance to shoot at their ships.

Some people may like playing against Turrets because it can simplify things. You know fancy flying will not save you so you just do it to figure out how to maximize other things. You also know that your opponent will be less inclined to rage quit because they aren't having any fun because they can't shoot at you.

Is there no way to equip two modifications?

Yeah after looking at the phantom cards we both agreed it would tilt the game in a direction we don't like. We'll be ok without tactician too, although it's a good card.

What ships can use autothrusters now? Interceptors and A-wings, but what else?

Currently, only Interceptors can equip two modifications by using the Royal Guard title. When Autothrusters becomes available it will be usable by the A-Wing, Interceptor, IG-2000, and Starviper.
