Ran some demo games for a friend and discovered something

By Engine25, in X-Wing

I freaking LOVE the TIE/FO!

Ran a tutorial match with an X wing and 2 Tie Fighters so he could get the hang of it, then he asked if we could expand to 50 points. He ran a T70 alongside a T65. I've been playing the T70 a lot and haven't touched my FOs before today, even though I've used Juke and Comm Relay extensively already. I picked Zeta Leader and 2 Epsilons to get 50 points even, no upgrades. Haven't seen them played much in my area, other than in Crack Shot Swarms. I love most of the abilities but have been nervous that they might cost too much and just haven't gotten around to testing them. I must say, by the turn after the first engagement, I was in love. They handle like a dream. Zeta's Opportunist line ability was no issue with all of the green 2s. And those 2 speed S Loops!

I love the TIE/FO. Thought you should know. You can return to your regularly scheduled programming.

The FO definitely impressed me as well. I had my doubts, but it exceeds expectations every single match. New pilots, Juke+Comm, access to TL, excellent dial. All of it leads to an enjoyable experience.

Just a sec, Hobojebus denouncing the TIE/FO shortly.

oh god, wait till Juke + Relay

a whole new wooooooooooorld~~~

Omega Leader is also pretty **** revolutionary ^_^

That 1 shield also makes a difference. A very big difference

And those 2' S-loops + green Hard 2's which lets you stay in the knife-fight.
