Begin Your Pursuit - Release Artilce up

By ViscerothSWG, in X-Wing

Such a cutie.
Will love/hate to play against it!

Does anybody else see a bit of a resemblance to Bender from Futurama?

New title card?

can't wait to get one! :D

also, loved this graphic:

PSA: The Suppressor title does not synergize with Weapons Engineer the way the article implies.

For anyone that has one of these cuties: can you actually put the TIEs on those docking clamps?

yeah of course we can. TIE FIghters, TIE Interceptor, TIE Advanced, all fit great.

So Raider/Gozanti vs CR-90/Transport. Who will win?

and here I thought that title would've been reserved for this :(

Picked mine up last night. Cannot wait to get it on the board!

So Raider/Gozanti vs CR-90/Transport. Who will win?

Well the CR-90 has a slight range and firing solution advantage over the other Huge Ships - and with Ordnance Tubes relaxing energy consumption that aspect certainly gets a boost - Dice modification is still a bit of a problem for her primary weapon though as you're restricted to Han or TL (not both) and that eats both a crew slot and a TL that you might want for ordnance - forcing the choice of Weapons Engineer and Sensor Team.

Roark provides superb support for her - and with the extra crew slot the Tantive Title gives her Rieekan is worth a shot too.

The Raider can match her for range if she takes Single Turbolasers - but combined with the Raiders almost obligatory second primary attack, that's a pretty heavy energy burden - more likely she'll try to blaze through to R4-R2 and dish out multiple primary / ordnance shots. The Impetuous title might well prove useful in that regard.

The Raider also has Jonus to buff her (and Howlrunner if you want) - a little more expensive than Ordnance Experts and a Gunnery Team but unlimited use, no energy cost and a reroll is more versatile than flipping blanks (you know you'll always roll focus :) )

Overall the Raider wins - slightly better stats all round - easier to make a cheap build - better dice mod options

I'd still say that with the crew and title options it has, the GR75 has the nastiest box of tricks in terms of jamming and slicing (especially if you take 2 - Duty Free uses Raymus, Jams with a Frequency Jammer and Quantum Storm slices) and offers the best support options.

Comparing the Goz to the Transport is a bit apples vs tire irons - the Goz makes an OK support ship and / or Turret Tank - but will most likely really shine as a Carrier

The real question is, why didn't we get a crew upgrade card for that guy^
