You forgot TIE bomber from your list (they all but announced they were doing that one at Worlds)

From what I can tell, the Bomber is basically fine- except that torpedoes and missiles are not all that good. Give me a torpedo as awesome at 2 points and 1 use as an HLC is at 7 points and infinite uses, and we'd see a lot more Bomber use.

My frustration is people like Ficklegreendice, hobowhatever or others who simply want imperial to be overpowered no matter the cost to this game actually working.

Even Nova squadran radio, which I do love to listen to seems packed full of Imperial homers…

First, welcome to the board! Second, hopefully now that we've all noticed you, you'll work a bit harder to make substantive, thoughtful posts--or at least funny ones--rather than coming across as both hostile and hyperbolic.

60-70% of rebel ships are dependant on turrents so ya real fun to have that many ships thrown in the garbage.

"Dependent" doesn't mean what you think it does, and as others have noted, 60-70% is an overstatement.

Empire players seem to want game balance except when it applies to themselves. This game after AT and the Advanced changes will simply be Empire versus Scum.

I've already addressed this with another poster, but this is only true if you proceed from the assumption that turrets are the only thing Rebels can do.

1 - Empire homers are 80-90% of the posters on this board, or even my favorite podcast Nova squadron.

Oh, come on. You don't seriously believe this.

You're either absurdly pessimistic about your preferred faction (a faction that has won the last two World Championships, no less) or you're trying to troll people while name-dropping the Nova Squadron folks for extra lulz.

No particular comment here, other than the feeling that your comments bear repeating.

TIE Pilot, thank you for a well articulated out reply. I disagree with your assertions but its one of few "Fanboy" imperial replies that is thought out.

You're mischaracterizing a lot of people.

Yay, I'm not the only person who calls it a Mango cannon.

Yeah, its a great change making a cool cannon sound like a piece of fruit...

People need to stop with the stupid name changes.. seriously.. just stop..

It would seem that the good bomber, much like the good Baron and Tie fighters of the court, does not enjoy tropical fruit

Alergic actually.. lol.. I just like the actual name personally. I also find unimaginitive 'renames' unfulfilling..

Playing terminology police makes you no better than the Empire, and if you choose to interpret that comparison as a good thing you need to get your head checked.

Maybe making a personal jab at someone should be better, and more thought out... I dislike the use of names that are stupid... also.. the Empire is the ruling party of this ficticious universe.. the rebels are actually terrorists..

Just some perspective... I fly mostly imperial because I like the ships.. dont pretend to know who I am from a few posts.. you really have no idea of who I am.

Appointing yourself sole arbiter of what constitutes a stupid name is idiotic and egotistical. Very much Imperial traits, using as reference the many pieces of SW media relating to the Empire.

Thank the stars that I don't.

Don't let my username fool you, my Rebel and Imperial playtime almost a perfect 50:50 ratio.

Once again, I'll reiterate that this game has a lot of mirror-matching. The anti-turret sentiment that pervades the forum is not anti-Rebel. It's anti-turret (Falcon, Decimator, some setups of the Outrider), and specifically anti Fat Han (Han Solo with the C-3PO card). If Fat Han were in the Imperial faction he'd be hated just as much if not more (because then he could be paired with the forum's other favourite whipping boy, the TIE phantom).

Ok.

Actually, you assumed this.. I was speaking from a personal standpoint. So.. you're wrong...

You also fail to understand this is a game, and people like to take sides in games, though many play both sides.. as I said, you dont know me, so dont presume you do... THAT is egotistical...

If that nested quote gets any bigger it'll become self-aware.

It's not necessary to "know you" to read your posts. I've responded only to the evidence here.

Then you know nothing....

I responded to your hostile remarks.. and you obviously dont understand humor.. no one on this board would condone the empires views.. but because its a series of movies we can all jump onboard and have some fun.. either get a clue, or find a place that also has no humor and be happy there.. many here are sarcastic and have a great sense of humor and can laugh at themselves as well as our forum mates.. of which many are probably doing right now at your comments..

Its like watching the last episode of Lost the TV show and trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

guys, there's a PM system for a reason...

Naaaa.... PM is for friends... lol

Still more entertaining than the usual breakfast segues.

Homers do ruin the game... but mainly I wanted to see how big this quote thing would get.

Not /too/ much longer, sometimes it takes me too long to realise I've been wasting time shouting at the tide, which was in hindsight the case here.

this little exchange is to this thread what the sarlacc was to its victims

Away have I been

Toxic these boards had become

Better it is not

I'm not sure they were better back then, a cursory search makes me think it was just goggles.

Somehow I feel like Yoda-speak would have more commas given his pausing habits.

Its not a great look for the board when people compare the Rebels to ISIS and the Empire to America and when any thread mentioning the rebels gets bombarded with "Rebels are terrorists" as the first few replies

Clearly someone needs to take a dremel to the koolaid tanks.

Yeah well... so's your old man!

So there.

As OP I just want to give fair warning.

This threads self destruct button has been pushed. Please return all trays to upright positions and prepare to be jettisoned into the cold vacuum of empty space.

Thank you and have a nice day.

wait let me figure out how hard i want to start laughing.

Hey, lurking just means he's spent time evaluating everything before making a post, it doesn't make him a troll.

I mean, sure, anyone who hurts anyone else's feelings on the internet is a troll, I forgot about that.
