What ships/cards that do not get played do you think will make a comeback

By Tailsgod, in X-Wing

Basically what cards that do not get played right now, either because of their cost being to high, another card being more useful, or the meta not supporting them.

This can be ships. epts, modifications, ect.

also why or how do you think these cards will make a comeback

Personally I think the E-wings will make a comeback

for two reasons

1: I think an astromech will come out within the next wave or two that will help mitigate the cost of the E-wing and

2: The system upgrade combo with the astromechs are unique to E-wings so I think there will be a system upgrade that will combo well with an astromech and make them useful (similar to how A-wings can combo epts)

The next guy I think will make a comeback soon are the A-wing pilots

Arvel Crynyd and Gemmer Sojan

Here's two pilots that are not Tycho or Jake, and unlike the Green pilot they do not have the ability to have two elite pilot talents.

They are expensive and with only 1 ept the main advantages of being an A-wing are mitigated

So how will they make a comeback?
I don't know, but I feel like Gemmer just missed the bus in the Dash-Donut hole trend,

I think there will soon be a trend of getting ships up close to each other in a way to mitigate the problems against turrets

I think Arvel has potential, we just haven't found it yet. He has one of my favorite pilot abilities, and i feel if he had 2 epts he would be flown more. Sadly he has 1.

Intimidation was made for Arvel

now he just needs a good modification to make him a powerhouse

Something that helps him keep his action even when crashing into another ship would make him insane -sigh- if he had advanced sensors Arvel would be crazy

Youngster

yeah, he's not even out yet and he's pretty trash due to the dearth of EPTs that work with him

once we get a decent one, though, he'll really come into his own

and if Targeting Astromech is worded exactly as K4, then it and Crackshot and Integrated are going to make non-Poe T-70s actually viable

`With the tracer missiles coming with the TAP, guidance chips with the Jumpaster, and the ordnance tubes coming with the Gozanti missiles and torpedoes are going see a lot more use in both standard and epic play.....hopefully......maybe.......

Gemmer is a solid pilot, I think he works better with Stealth Device instead of Autothrusters, but basically anything to increase your Evade dice on that ship is good. Gemmer works by being something that gets in the way, every shot spent on Gemmer is a shot not spent on one of your heavy hitters. If you can get your opponent irritated and chasing Gammer just to swat him down, it's good.

Arvel, I feel, would be better with a lower PS than he has, I'd like to be able weld Enhanced Scopes to him. At PS 0 you'd be able to setup blocks for almost anything, pairing that with Intimidation would be a bonus.

Gemmer's already there courtesy of TLTs... get in one's donut hole and he's already flipping the bird to the rest of the pack.

Tie advanced already made a HUGE comeback...
