e wing title card

By churchwarden, in X-Wing

If u could make your own title card for the e wing, what would u make?

I was thinking something like this:

Shadowfax: treat all straight manoeuvres as green manoeuvres.

Bucephalus: treat all 2 and 3 manoeuvres as green manoeuvres.

Both of these would be quite helpful with r2d2. Maybe with advanced sensors....help save horn a bit.

Thoughts? Your own ideas?

I think if you want to create a title to enhance a ship you shouldnt focus it around a limited equipment card like r2d2.

Of course the green moves also help without r2dr but i wouldnt see them as a fix that suddenly lets us see generic E-Wings.

I think where the E-Wing struggles is concentraded fire. Even though the 3 Agility isnt bad it will fail you at one point making it not resilient enough to justify the point cost over other alternatives.

So a title might improve that.

I'm all for E-Wing title suggestions, but I'm not sure Corran Horn needs a bump. The generic E-Wings seem to need the most bump.

I've thought about offering a free title with a 2 point discount for a generic astromech (so as not to make R2-D2 any cheaper for Corran) or offer a free title with a 2 or 3 point upgrades (maybe astromech or systems) discount that can only be equipped to a generic E-Wing.

Ya maybe something that benefits both the Ewing and xwing. Building off of others ideas here regarding r2d2 I think a title that adds an astromech that is 3 points and under for free would be good. Not a discount like the sensor slot for the advanced but just strictly any astromech that is 3 points or less can be taken for 0 points. That way r2d2 remains full price. Not sure what to call the title but would be xwing and Ewing only.

what about giving it a crew slot?

Giving E's free non-unique astro's(possibly with a discount system slot when a generic astro is equipped)would be simple and effective. Knave with a free r7 and fcs would be a decent filler.

Corran Horn with the usual upgrades is bordering on OP in my opinion. If you do introduce a title if should be something that doesn't help him at all. Really only the generics need some love. I like the idea of giving them a reduced cost astromech.

Title that discounts astromechs under 3 points to 0.

Title that gives slam ability. Just musing at work.

Holy broken! Can you imagine Corran with this?

Double tap, take some damage

Dial up green 2-bank.

Recover shield

Slam 2-bank again

Recover shield

His weapon was ready disabled, so no consequences. Just the most extreme mobility and regeneration ever!

Think like this. If u were bringing 1 ship small base to a no point limit aces battle, and wanted to really power up the e wing....

Slam is a good idea. Slam! I want it! I want it so bad! That is extreme.... I love it.

Title adding Boost to the action bar.

That way, autothrusters.

SLAM is a great thought, too, but it might be too good on the E-Wing.

With a 5 forward + SLAM, the E-Wing can cover just about 2/3 of the board in one turn. Talk about a disengage maneuver...

If we end up in a game where every single small bas ship needs autothrusters to survive we might also just add it to the basic rules and leave space for other upgrades.

I'm pretty sure boost + At would be too good for Corran as well.

He'd be beyond broken. Anything you do to buff the E-wing must not help Corran. He truly doesn't need any buffs.

Everything you do the E-Wing also helps Corran if you dont explicitly exclude him from it.

Not if you give free generic astro's. Corran with R2-D2 is really good. Without R2-D2, he's almost as bad as the generics.

The E-wing is supposed to be a space superiority fighter. It combines the X-wing and A-wing into one package..

Hence the cost.

However, I think the boost should have been built in. I don't like how FFG has limited the native actions to 4. I wish the ship would have been given focus, target lock, barrel roll, boost, and evade. I also wanted to see a generic with an EPT. If I had to give up an action, evade. PS 4, 5, or 6 E-wing with PTL would have been fun.

One thought I have is a title "Multi-role Strike Fighter". Torpedo slot maybe used for missile or bomb upgrade instead.

I am also in favor on a Rouge Squadron title that improves X-wing and E-wing when flying formation.

the fix just has to take the slot of astro, modification, or sensor, And not be superior to R2D2, engine upgrade, and FCS.

That is why the reduced generic astro cost is so nice.

Or it could just be something like Title: Treat your Pilot Skill as 6. It would not help corran but would be nice for the generics. (take this as an example not a suggestion)

My sig has this:

My Idea for E-wing fix
Modification and Torpedo: (Feedback received: Added Torpedo slot also as they would cause drag)
0 pts
E-wing Only
Streamlined
Squad Point Cost is reduced by 2 points and all banks count as green.

I've found E'than to be way more OP than Corran, but Corran is really good too. It probably depends on how many points you play. E'tahn gets better as the point total goes up.

I agree. But Corran and E'tahn would have to choose either EI or this. It forces them to make a choice.

That would be completely broken on Corran. You'd have to make it an astro for -2 costs to prevent stacking with r2d2.
