You've Just Won Worlds...

By ViscerothSWG, in X-Wing

Best of the Best

Elite, Named Pilot Only

Generic pilots roll one less die when attacking you or defending against you.

Cost would probably need to be in the 3 to 5 point range, but it would be wonderfully thematic.

lol this just takes a massive steaming **** on BBBBZ or TIE Swarm

Weren't you disliking that FFG had made the tractor beam a cannon in the first place?

Indeed. But now that it is, Lore dictates that those beams all be cannons now...

Can you make new ships? If so: Gunboat :D

Maneuvering Jets

Modification, 2 points

Small Ship only

Your action bar gains the Barrel Roll icon.

You must have 2 or greater Agility to equip this card.

Slap a dev, fix Lorrir.

In that order.

Thrusters

Modification.

X-Wing only, Rebel Alliance only

Your action bar gains the barrel roll icon. When performing a barrel roll you may place the template to the rear of your ship.

Target Tracker - Modification (1 point)

When performing the Target Lock action in the activation phase you may choose to place the blue token only. Then at the end of the activation phase place the red token on any valid target. If there is no valid target remove the blue token.

The idea is to overcome the weaknesses of low-PS ordnance-based ships which find it hard to get a target lock on faster ships that move into range. By TLing ships after activation has ended you can guarantee a torpedo or missile shot on something in arc and range.

Something to make PS3-5 generics relevant and powerful.

TLTs already do that to some extent.

Please WHATTT?

HWK HAS NO GENERIC ABOVE PS2/

Hired Gun is completely not seen!

You'd rather have PS4 than R2 astros or R4agros? GIVE ME A BREAK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

Warden is PS2. Bet most you need to check to even tell me WHAT the PS4 Kwing is. And even then. I've NEVER SEEN ANYONE TALK ABOUT IT.

Did you read that right? Cuz I am tilting.

Breathe in, breathe out, wax on, wax off.

I wouldn't design a new card, I would however do what FFG should have done ages ago - which is take the artwork for Howlrunner from Armada, and put it on a promo card for Howlrunner! :)

"

Admiral Ackbar artwork, and 'ITS A TRAP!'

Don't care what kind of card it is, that is my only requirement.

Hawkstrike, there is no "T-65 X-wing". Just the X-wing and T-70 X-wing, so I'm afraid your card wouldn't work. Also, it really obsoleted the B-wing.

It's perfectly possible to have an x-wing only card that excludes the new x-wing.

Read page 1 of the new rulebook and see if you can work it out

Label it as X-Wing Only, Rebel Alliance Only?

Otherwise, I'm not following you. Page 1 of the new Learn to Play document covers the game overview and ship assembly, and page 1 of the Rules Reference only covers the Golden Rule and Card interpretations.

Yes - I'm referring to the Golden Rule.

While the rules for title cards would mean that any "x-wing only" card would work on both x-wings, that can be overruled or bypassed using the Golden Rule.

so something like "X-Wing only, This card may not be equipped by a T-70 X-Wing" or your suggestion that it is restricted to Rebel Alliance only would both be ways to create an upgrade that can only be equipped by a T-65

Rogue Squadron X-Wing

Title

T-65 X-wing only

You may attack with a secondary weapon that states "Discard Target Lock Token" without spending a Target Lock Token. You may target any ship that has a Red Target Lock Token from ANY Rogue Squadron X-Wing.

Wording is clunky, but the biggest difference between the Rogue Squadron books and the game is the missing shared targeting data. One member of Rogue Squadron would target lock a ship and everyone in the Squadron would fire using that target lock. Wraith Squadron probably used it too.

IG-88 type synergy, the more of them you bring the better. One gets a target lock and they can all salvo the target saving their actions to modify it or for defense.

I like the basic idea, but I would do it more like this:

Rogue Squadron

Title

0 Points

X-Wing only

you can treat any blue target look token of any other allied ship with the Rogue Squadron title as your own.

Can only be equipped to ships with a pilot skill of 3 or higher.

R2-Q2:

When defending, you may spend a Focus token to add an evade result to your roll.

"I have you now" EPT

Whenever you receive a blue target lock token you receive a focus token.

Not sure about points - maybe 2?

"In my experience, luck doesn't exist"

EPT

Cost 4

After rolling X amount of dice, you may choose to cancel all dice results and add X/2 (hit) or (evade) results to your roll. Round up if you have a focus token, round down if you don't.

- I would most likely try to figure out something new instead of focussing on fixing something old.

- Something that builds a synergy or interaction with something else

- New way of using old tricks

- The only expection of an old mechanic i would maybe go into, is to somehow allow lower pilots to shoot ordnance weapons easier

Calm yourself. I'm pretty sure what the original poster meant was that OTHER ships with mid-PS generics will get more play to shoot at and hopefully kill a PS2 Y-Wing before they can shoot.

Lead by Example

EPT, 6-8 points?

Small ship only

All friendly ships of the same ship type as you with a lower pilot skill than you gain your unique pilot ability.

Crew Card:

Royal Guard (4 pts)
Imperial Only - Unique
When you perform a green manouvre, Roll 1 evade die
On a (Wiggle) recover 1 Shield upto your maximum shield value

That is all :)

"You have it, too."

EPT

At the beginning of the game, you may choose one EPT in your opponents list. Treat this card as if it were the chosen card.

2 points

Mimickery and shenanigans are awesome!

So...2 point predator! huzzah!

"Wipe Them Out - All Of Them" - 2 points

When you spend a focus token to modify an attack, you may discard this card to change all focus results to critical hit results.

Maybe a droid that lets you skip your action phase, but can let you target lock at the begining of the combat phase
