The sad news about Autothrusters

By TheRealStarkiller, in X-Wing

No news at all actually.

I ever fancied 4 Sabers to fly. Just with PTL they are too easy to kill. One blocked, they are space dust.

Now we got Autothrusters and 4 Sabers + PTL + AT would be a solid squad to take ...

But ... yeah ... 104 points.

Basically you are down to 2 points for an EPT each...

What would this be?

Elusiveness or Expert Handling? ...

So, Autothrusters helped Interceptors in general, but not the 4 Saber squad.

This makes me sad.

You mean, Interceptors are overpriced? Shocker.

I mean there is no 2 point EPT you could take for PTL ... not for a 4 Saber Squad.

I feel a card idea upcomming .... I can't help it ...

Battle Focus

EPT

"When attacking,you may guess aloud a number of [focus] results. If you roll that many [focus] results (before modifying the dice), you are assigned 2 focus tokens."

2 Points

Very experimental, though and too situational ... but I like this guessing theme ^^

Joust with them and take Wingman :D

You could always try to go for 4 royal guard pilots with VI and autothrustors.

Kill all the IGs!

Soontir Fel, Carnor Jax and a Royal Guard with all the upgrades are much better than 4 sabres anyway - why not run with that?

All the upgrades? Ptl, autothrusters, and?

Stealth device actually works quite well on autoceptors, when you can cancel two damage with an evade token and a blank and still have another three chances to get evades odds are good you'll avoid all the incoming damage.

imagine if Autothrusters had been 1 point? Would there be rioting? Probably not - but I imagine there'd be quite a few threads on it...

I don't see how.

Even at one point it would mostly be just turret players QQING and no one gives a toss what they think

TURRET KILLED THE TIE SWARM. *music and stuff* You guys get this right?

I'm fine with this. 5x Autothruster Alpha more than makes up for it. There are some pretty good 1 and 2 point EPTs. Adrenaline Rush and Wingman come to mind.

I'm more sad that Avenger Squadron is at a weird point value. 22 points with Autothrusters makes it so you can't take 5, but no EPT slot to spend the 3 point hole each one makes. I suppose not every ship needs to be part of a spam list.

Why would you fly 4 Sabers when 4 RGP exists?

Think there needs to be an extra cyllable at the start and end of that.

Plus TIE swarms chew turrets into lots of little bits. They don't care nearly as much about getting shot.

Why would you fly 4 Sabers when 4 RGP exists?

BECAUSE ITS SABERS!

4 RGP is even worse btw .. .

Yes, you can go with VI or AR ... but that is not satisfying on the royals ...

You can, however, run 5 Interceptors with Autothrusters.

True. And a will run them. I just need another Interceptor

BUT I really want to run 4 Sabers, too.

Sabers are four pilot skill points of meh. Royal Guard Pilots are PS6 win at 25pt apiece.

I've been wanting to try this, but I'll just need to proxy two Alphas (have the AT).

PS6 win at 25pt apiece?

I dont get it.

Do you mean to take AR?

Adrenaline Rush? On TIE interceptors? They're EPT TIE interceptors, they have Push The Limit.

Adrenaline Rush?
