IG-88D Movement options

By Fnords, in X-Wing

Hi!

Stole a image from http://teamcovenant.com/sablegryphon/2014/10/06/ig-88d-s-loop-explored/

And added all the options you get with Stay on Target (when selecting a 3 speed manuever)

The Tiles marked with "D" are options where you might change the direction you are facing as well.

It gets quite insane!

While the possibilities are phenomenal, a stay on target IG will suffer a lot from a PS6.

Unless you are fighting a low PS team, being able to reposition will be useless against most current build that use high PS ships. Veteran Instinct still leaves you a lot of possibilities while making you go later (after Dash and Keyan at least and maybe Echo, Chiraneau and Corran).

So, until there is an upgrade that boost PS without taking your EPT( which I sincerily hope won't happen), this one will just be a nice picture.

I mentioned this in another thread, but the Advanced Sensors pre-boost can be blocked by a single ship that can get in position before PS6, at which point it's just regular Stay On Target.

I do agree on the PS6 being the real limiter.

But you must agree, it is a nice picture when it an be used (=
