Do all new ships have new manoeuvres?

By mazz0, in X-Wing

mostly no although new maneuvers is a great way to expand the design space and make sure that no ship handles in the same way. But new maneuvers are not really that new. The first "New" maneuver was the 0 stop which also brought a new speed 0. That was the shuttle in wave 3. The Seignor's loop was brought in wave 6 with the arrival of a new scum faction and that was pretty much a bank that applied the K-tun's 180 at the end of a straight but using a bank template instead. The T-Roll was something that was added in with the TFA releases so between Wave 7 and 8.

Unless scum gets a strong defensive crew from one of the new bounty hunters, it won't be possible to make the Punishing One a fat turret.

I have heard word of a droid that steel shield tokens. There is a reason it comes with so many card board shield tokens.

I'm really interested by the Jumpmaster's dial. It's one fat turret I want to try.

It does have a white 2 left S-loop, but it won't have that on the right. I'm curious to see how different the dial will be per side. It can be interesting to seem to be predictable, but then do something on the "bad" side. Much like the Tie Defender when everyone thinks you will go for the white K-turn.

I have heard that one side of the dial is green, I assume the left. It's loop would be white. Then the right side has white maneuvers, with a red loop.

I am really hoping the Mist Hunter has a talon roll. Cause we really need more than one ship that can do it, and the scum need more tricks of course.

Don't forget that we now have the lightning reflexes EPT, wich can essentially give every pilot with an ept slot a once per game S-loop!!! (looking at you chardaan refit green squadron pilot!)

Am I right in thinking that the new small base ships coming out - the TIE Advanced Prototype, the Attack Shuttle and the ugly thing with the broken cloaking device, are all lacking "new" manoeuvres?

None of them have anything other than the standard maneuvers as far as we know. No s-loops no t-rolls.

A TIE/int or A-wing with an s-loop would be a waste anyway. How often do you even K-turn with PtL builds?

I'd consider t-rolling with Soontir quite often I suspect.

you can run A-wings without PTL very easily, just not Tycho/Jakes
