So if, hypothetically, the X Wing was to receive the boost action, how would this change up rebels?

Access to AT would certainly improve their suitability and and some ability to re-position would be a god send. Luke and Biggs become even bigger trolls than they already are.

Any thoughts? Would this make the x wing a viable choice when compared to the B Wing and Z-95?

Depends on the cost of the fix.

At 0 to +1 additional cost, I think it's a solid fix. If it's +2 points or more, probably not worth it.

IMHO now well have 2 x-wings...

Maybe, but what does that do to the A-wing? Sure, it's got a better dial, but with post-maneuver repositioning, I would think the extra attack die would still be favorable.

Assuming you make no changes to the dial and no other changes, I don't think it threatens the A-wing. The A-wing still has the faster, more maneuverable dial plus the evade action, for 6 points cheaper at lowest pilot skill (assuming the X-wing fix is a 0-point change). At the upper PS end, the A-wing still has the dual EPT option via the title.

So they'll still be different enough, I think.

A wings have 2 epts, access to prockets or refit and the different dials play very differently. All that green encourages PTL and hard 1s encourage knife fighting in a way the x wing never can. Plus A Wings can evade.

There's also always Jake...

EDIT: What Hawkstrike said

Access to Autothrusters does a great job of making them into tough interceptors. They're supposed to be the all-around mid-range option, and that (plus, oh, I dunno, an extra shield?) goes a long way to fulfilling that role.

I really hope that there is a title for the T-65 that we already have that gives it the ability to boost. I think 1 point is reasonable and do not think that would break it.

2 points would be dicey.

But please make that a thing FFG!

Luke with boost+autothrusters+R2-D2+Lonewolf=Awesomeness overload!

As long as it's not the actual boost symbol in its action bar. That would give it access to Autothrusters. That means Biggs would get access to Autothrusters. Nobody wants to face Biggs with Autothrusters access.

Dammit! I wanna see the hypothetical stuff! That people are imagining...in their heads!

I can't tell you where I reddit, but I'm sure you can find it if you look.

Well I suppose it could be an X-Wing only modification thereby eliminating the use of Autothrusters.

That being said I don't think a 28 point Biggs (hypothetical 1 point title + 2 point Autothrusters) would be too overpowered. That limits what else can go in your list without getting too crazy.

But I hear you.

Hypothetically, if this fix were to come as an entirely new ship, rather than just, like, a Title card. Than it wouldn't even actually be a "fix" at all. Since you'd have to buy all new ships.

So my friend who owns 12 X-Wings and has been waiting forever for them to make his ship cool again is going to be sorely disappointed.

True, but they could also, hypothetically, release a title card for the current T-65 giving it some of the same things this other new ship may or may not have.

They should just give the old x-wing barrel roll, sure it would be like the b, but faster and not able to take as many hits. I think that would help alot for old t-65 xwings and still make the choice between and B and them viable.

Nah. Boost gives them autothrusters. That'll be a bigger upgrade.

very true, but giving them boost, makes them like the new t-70, keep it barrel roll to make it different than the t-70

Oh, give the OLD X-Wings Barrel Roll. I misunderstood what you were saying.

Yep. I've always thought if you give them Barrel roll, then you give them a reason to be taken instead of the B-wing. Like I said they have less durability, but they are faster and can make it easy to chase down the big ships.

Plus with Barrel Roll the Expert Handling Ept becomes better on the name guys, no stress and target lock removal.

Of course, if such a ship existed, Luke and Biggs would not be pilots of said ship and so sadly no Biggs + AT for you!

Access to AT will be incredible on said hypothetical vessel. I, for one, would purchase several of said snubfighter for my metaphorical squadron

My 4 B-Wing would not care, I would still shot him down at R1-R2 anyway.

I might venture a guess that giving the x-wing a boost action and one more hull point could be a fix.

Of course if ties get target lock this negates the boost really and leaves the x wing with really just getting an extra hull point. Which happens to be a 3 point increase Majorjuggler was advocating.
