Price Check: YT-1300 and YT-2400 Pilots

By DagobahDave, in X-Wing

Continuing our series where we re-evaluate the points costs of cards in the current meta, one card category at a time. Just copy the list and insert your own point values.

If you find a card on the list that you have never been interested in taking in competition because it seems too inefficient or too situational, consider the point value that would convince you to try it in a competitive squad and write in that value.

YT-2400 PILOTS
Wild Space Fringer 25 (only because it's cheaper to give this ship 3 attack dice)
Eaden Vrill 30
Leebo 33
Dash Rendar 36

Contracted Scout pretty much blows these old metrics out of the water.

fringer would be strictly superior to scout at the same price

anyway, price fixes won't help these guys. The yt-1300 is a very poorly designed one-trick (turret) pony, while the yt-2400 at least has Dash and the int agent b-rolling blocker (potentially with cannons)

fringer would be strictly superior to scout at the same price

"Strictly superior" in what sense? Is gaining 1 hull at the expense of a 1PS bump, an EPT slot, an astromech slot, and another munition slot "Strictly superior"?

If they're both left with zero upgrades, I guess, but you gotta pay for our slots. Even with just adaptation, now we're trading 1 hull for a 2 PS bump.

If they were to revisit the YT-1300 - I'd prefer a total redesign - there was only 1 Mil Falcon - the stat boost and upgrade slots hould move to the title. I've only played a couple of game with em so I won't post about point however.

I mostly agree with this

I think the Fringer is more correctly priced at 27 points. The YT-2400 can get a 3 dice attack for 9 points (mangler+outrider), whereas the Contracted Scout pays 12 points for a 3 dice attack (a 3 point advantage to the Fringer). The Scout also gets the advantage of an Elite slot, so we can even out the difference at 2 points.

You're probably right about the Outer Rim Smuggler needing to be 23 points. It's basically a Fringer with only one defense dice, and no way to improve it's firepower. The YT-1300 should have really been more like the Punishing One, with a Millenium Falcon title that gave you +1 attack, defense, hull and shield for something like 16 points.

I'm not so sure Mr. Solo is worth 46 points anymore.

I agree with Markham though.
