Really Enjoying New Defender

By shakedown47, in X-Wing

I played three games with the new titles for the first time last and had a blast. The defender was always my favorite ship, but its usefulness and shortcoming were very clear. Now, however, they play as the super fighter they were always meant to be.

We played scenario games (first time trying scenarios as well, 2 years into the hobby) and, while I didn't necessarily win every game, the triple Defender list just pummeled everything it came across. In a straight up dogfight these guys are nearly untouchable.

I ran Vessery with VI, Tractor Beam and the /D title, and two Onyx pilots with the /x7 title.

Nice job FFG :)

I am really looking forward to flying that crazy ship just like it flew in TIE Fighter. Those things were so hard to pin down! (Unless you had the tractor beam, of course)

It's a new day... Well it will be when it officially drops in...oh August or so?

I'm desperately hoping Vets will be out before the Yavin Open, but I'm really not expecting it to be :( I'd love to play one of the squads I've been working on for that release for the Open.

Probably be august/september... But who knows :)

Yeah I've decided not to proxy the new Defender stuff as I really doubt it'll be ready for the Yavin Open.

But it is pretty cool, played some of the new stuff.
