PSA: 360-degree Firing Arc

By Slugrage, in X-Wing

Just because it may be obvious to some does not mean it is obvious to all. Posts like this do no harm at all.

Really. Should I just call you Sheldon from now on. What a waste of network space to hold his message

How is it a waste at all ? It was a good post. Don't like it, then don't read it.

We won't actually know it is a good or bad post until an idiot posts one of those memes with all the ships in a circle.

And that, right there is Joe's commentary regarding the natural state of the current meta's T-65 X-wing.

Deep.

Gunstar with Death Blossom = true 360 firing arc

I think I aged another 5 years just making that reference.

I want this as a mod. Discard to attack every enemy ship within range 3 of you. At the beginning of each round afterward, roll a green die to try to restart your ship. On an eye or blank, that ship does not maneuver or attack this round.

Wouldn't it be 360 squared?

Sorry, DariusAPB, I reached my quota of positive votes for the day. I had to unlike a couple of your posts in order to like JBR7's. I'm sure you understand.

Happens to me all the **** time...

There are a lot of terms used that can be confusing because the may not always mean what people think they should mean.

hit

miss

thinking crits deal cards even if shields remain.

touch

All of these things have caused problems for people.

I'm waiting for the day an entire thread is nothing but sprites

Come people, we can make Sprite Wing a reality.

There are lots of little rules and such that we experienced players take for granted and just sort of shortcut about when talking about the game. The difference between "a ship that can fire outside its arc", and a "ship that has a 360 degree arc" has enormous rules implications. For instance: Backstabber can't use his ability on a GR-75 Transport, as it has _no_ printed arc.

Eh...

That was a joke?

Backstabber gets bonus dice as long as he's not within printed arc >_>

It's in the FAQ, p. 16.

Q: Is Backstabber outside the firing arc of a ship that has no printed firing arc?

A: No, Backstabber’s pilot ability only triggers against ships that have a printed firing arc.

What ships do not have a printed fire arc?

Even a PWT has a printed fire arc.

What ships do not have a printed fire arc?

GR-75 transport, it doesn't have a printed arc, because it has no hardpoints.

Huh. So backstabber doesn't trigger against the ECM/Ramship.

That's actually pretty interesting. Certainly odd.

I think the question first came up in relation to the Ambassador's Shuttle token in the original core set

I can imagine (i make variations of that mission all the time).

Positive enthusiasm is _awesome_. I'd trade 1- complain-y forum posters for 1 more JBR7.

If there was another like him I would gladly leave.
