A non competitive view...Wave 7

By Hexdot, in X-Wing

I only fly casual at home, from 40 pts two on two "turbogames" playable in 15 min to 500 pts epic games. After half a docen minigames, four +/- 125 pts games plus a 300 pts one, here are some ideas. But beware, not the tournament player PoV.

The Bombers are very well balanced, I am surprised, they are very different and singular, but I can't say if one of them is "better".

Y-666 is an awesome ship, 40 bucks well expended. Big, cinematic, and.full of options to equip upgrades. Bossk is a Killer, a very good named Pilot, but not too much.

Khiraz...not enought experience to speak about. Feels good.

TLT is a beast. Perhaps too much a beast. But this upgrade has a side effect...the humble Blaster Turret was selected once in a blue moon. Now, simple, we have eliminated the Focus requisite to fire. So you can choose.between a TLT or the old Blaster, cheaper and now much more atractive

Pay atention to the BOMBARDIER crew card. It is surprisingly useful and very cheap. Lighting Reflex and Crack Shot are perfect to fill 1-2 pts in your list.

I am quite satisfied, but providing only ONE conner net / cluster.mines w/ each bomber is...suboptimal. 20 bucks a ship, each.bomber can launch 4 of those...give me at least one. I have purchased 4 Punishers, 4 K, and I.MUST put my printer.to work after expending 160 bucks.on.those. Sub optimal.

But this wave is ok to me!!!

I'm confused about what you're saying regarding Blaster Turret. How is it more attractive now? It seems to me that it's only usable on a select few couple ships/pilots with TLT out.

The long term effects remains to be seen but yeah most of the wave feels quite solid. However I do fear for the Kirhaxz. It's the cheapest 3 attack ship scum have so the PS2 pilot might find a place as filler but the pricier pilots might no see much play.

He's saying his play group has house ruled away the focus requirement of Blaster Turret, making it more attractive.
