Engine isn't as good as everyone says, being 4 points cheaper while having vastly supperior survivability is significantly better.
Why can't Integrated Astromech be E-Wing also?
What's the point anyway? The E-Wing is obviously a dead end design. Otherwise we wouldn't have the T-70. Let the generic E-Wings go the way of the dodo.
The answer would be an astromech that boosts the generics but not Corran.
The astromech could even be good on Corran. He'd have to drop R2-D2 to take it and that is a large part of what makes Corran as good as he is.
Edited by WWHSDAnd I don't think the E-Wing is going to receive much in terms of fixes. It will not be a new trilogy ship, it is not in Rebels, so it will probably not play a big role in the game either. In commercial terms, it is not a very interesting choice compared to the T-70.
Corran Horn (42 points)
-VI, R2-D2, FCS.
This was, prior to TLT at least, the second most popular Corran build (Sensor Jammer may have replaced FCS by this point). It does not need a free hull/shield.
Edited by SquarkI totally disagree. The E-wing does have evade, and It's kinda unfair if FFG does nothing to fix the low end one since people have already bought the ships. This is not GW here. this if FFG, they understand the issue.
Hopefully, we will see something to fix the poor e-wing. Maybe give it tech or something.
But it needs something.
You bought the ship knowing what it was going in didn't you? What's unfair?

There is no good reason to fix the generics, unless E-Wings show up in ep. VIII. (Hah!)
Better questions would be:
Why only the X-wing?
Y-wings (and scum) don't get the astro-love?
Why are astromechs suicidal now?

Y-Wing doesn't need more buffs, it already has BTL-A4 and Twin Laser Turret.
Four tlt Y-Wings with IA...
Because it would make Corran better. It's not really the kind of help the E-wing needs anyway.
Would it really make him that much better? He gains a hull point, but it'll come at the expense of his usual Engine Upgrade slot. That'll make it easier to get him in arc.
Some people like me can really run Corran without EU. He just gets better and better.
I do have faith that they'll find something interesting for those generic Ewings, and Etahn.

Y-wings always need moar because they are teh bombad spaceships!
Soopa Y-wing devil fighters forever!
Oh, and GUNBOAT!
It would help the generics a bit, which we know are overcosted. I suspect they didn't playtest it.

I'm pretty sure they play tested it and they wanted just an X-wing fix. Any E-wing fix would come in an ace pack, along with...um, well, I guess that's it, unless they put it with the Spoopy T-70 repaint.
They do ALOT of play testing and take a lot of things into consideration including what we say on this forum. It's hard to keep things balanced and fun and competitive and fluffy all at the same time.

Could pack it with an X-Wing, there is a bit more to come beyond IA (which by the way is my favourite fix so far) they said. They might mean Targeting Astromech by that, though.
because it's a flimsy "fix" for "old and
useless
boostless X-wings
E-wings require other "flimsy fix" which will come not soon
I'm aware that this will buff engineless Corran, but I'd rather face a buffed cheaper engineless Corran than the 48 point Engine one.
Either it would tempt Corran players to ditch engine, or players would still run engine anyways in which case it's functionally identical to a 'please buff non-Corran E-Wings only' buff.
Wait a second, 42 point Corran being buffed means you can run a 58 point Super Dash without having to sacrifice anything. Nope nope nope. Yep, bad idea lol.
