ion turrets

By frogy84, in X-Wing

I played 2 games to day with y wings with ion turret and boy do they piss my brother off .man are they nasty i don't think all use them again .does any one else see this problem

Voiceprint analysis confirmed. Vofer lives.

Range 1-2

running 4 gold with ions is a classic troll move, we've all done it once i think.

Because now it will be 4Y's with TLTs.

I don't get it.

Seems much more effective to fly 2Ys with TLTs and 2Ys with ICTs.

Ion anything that gets too close, all the Ys plink away at the helpless ship floating behind them.

I didn't know it a troll **** thing to do

New ion bombs can compensate for lack of ion turrets

I'd actually want to try Ion turrets with bomb loadout proton bombs and EM. Zap them then drop the bomb and smile. Get to do that twice.

Wasn't it under a week ago that Frogy84 said how garbage Ion turrets are and that he will never use them because they only do 1 damage?

Maybe now he is bothering to actually read the rulebook and rule cards.

Hey, it might be a trolly thing to do, but it's legal and fair game. It's like drop pods and playing eldar/tau/breakfast brigade. (My friends give me all the **** for my heavy (FLUFFY) drop pod use).

Actually Taudar and Breakfast brigade are way scummier than 4Y with ion.

It's not. The classic Y-wing is a BTL-S3 with Ion Cannon Turret. BTL-A4s are more common nowadays because they're higher damage, but they're harder to fly.

The issue with four Golds or Syndicate Thugs with BTL-S3 and Ion is that they deal very little damage: thee's not much to exploit the ion effect.

You should also try Ion Pulse Missiles and Ion Torpedoes for good effect.

This is true, but i've found that walking expensive ships off the board works well. Back before PWT's were a major thing the humble Y-wing was a beast.

Walking ships off the board is amazing.

Hitpoint regeneration, weakness to Fire & Acid?

It was cool pushing shipa iff the board i had 2 y wing gold squad and 2 ewing man did the. do some work against 4acdemoy tie fighters back staber and sootir fel but the best part was when i went head to head with y wing against sootir at rang one rolled 3attacks and killed sootir and he had 4 green dice first time i ever one shot a ship before

I'm typically very loathe to critique someone's grammar and spelling, but... ****. Punctuation at least, please.

Btw how is it legal to push a ship off table find it a rather cheep move fun but a cheep move

I find it easier to do that with Ion Pulse Missiles.

Have you read the actual rule book mate?

I've once been blocked and forced off, is that cheap?

Cheap moves may be countered. Ions have their counters. like TLTs. Like Fat Han, Like Swarms, like Scum HWKs, like X1Vader, like interthrusters, like brobots, like Phantoms, like Biggs.

All of these have counters, you just need to play them. The ones that don't have counters, (CR90/Raider/GR75 with Navigator) have been faq'ed to be illegal.

Yes i read the rules . i don't see how u can be blocked when u can fly thru ships and stuff. i just find it a big **** move ion ship o look all u can keep doing is going 1foward for 5 truns
