Tractor Beam. Will it cripple the awesome versatile meta?

By Taiowaa, in X-Wing

TBH Obi-Wan as a force ghost as an EPT card rather than a crew card would be pretty nifty.

I'd make him turn a blank die to a focus once per round. Crazy Luke synergy. I'd rather have him turn a blank to a focus on everything, but that would break Poe in so many ways.

I kind of feel like Marksmanship IS the Obi-Wan force ghost card.

Am I the only one that thinks the Tractor Beam is too good for one point?

No.

However, there are plenty of people who would disagree, as the 8 pages of this thread would indicate.

The cost is a cannon slot and one of your shots. Unless you're running defenders. Then it's worth 3points and an evade every other turn.

Only every other turn? Clearly your /x7s are not trying hard enough.

It's a good option, but it's not a dominant option because of its opportunity cost. It seems huge at the moment because of the fact that forced movement is new to the meta, and the meta will have to adapt to that (primarily, people will need to learn to adjust their tactics to cope with the possibility of being beamed) but they won't demolish the meta, nor are they too good for their cost, because their cost is not just a point except on things which weren't using their cannon slot anyway.

I can see spending a point to chuck one onto a Gargantuan Astral Walrus on the off-chance that you get a small ship in arc you can toss onto a rock, but most shuttles are shooting at PS2 so the agility reduction will rarely have much impact. They're also extremely easy to dodge...

Vessery is coming! Vessery is coming! Vessery is coming!

Vessery can keep his pants on, I'm more interested in TBeams giving the Scum a solid B-wing stand in. 4-lom is the Droid I'm looking for.
