Make Deadeye unique

By Celes, in X-Wing

Go for the whole shebang - all EPTs are unique.

Such a simple fix to the triple Uboot menace.

FFG you are welcome.

I swear to god this forum is overpopulated with 'Chicken Littles'. Everytime something new comes along - be it U-Boats, TLTs, Autothrusters, Palpatine, whatever, - that suddenly means their "point and click" list no longer works, meaning they need to adapt and fly differently, they start calling for 'nerfs' and 'fixes'.

Yes, triple scouts is popular at the moment - because it's new and different. Give it a few weeks and things will settle and a lot of those flying it will stop. But for god sake, stop running around howling like a pork chop about the game as we know it coming to an end and demanding solutions for problems that don't exist.

This forum is also overpopulated with people who shoot down any idea of a broken combo.

No, this is not me saying 3x scouts is broken.

But we have seen it in the past:

Tactician errata'd to unique just prior to YV-666 release

Phantom decloak errata'd to happen before activation

And there were people there to scream "it's not broken, we'll find a way!" before we had really found a way then, too.

Maybe it is too good, maybe it isn't. Too soon to know. That's all I'm saying.

Is tactician unique or you simply cant run more than 1 on a ship?

Can't run more than one on a ship.

Scoutwing Ordnancewing Torpwing !!!

When a list I like does well, that's called playing X Wing the normal, reasonable way. When a list I don't really like does well, then it's [blank]wing.

Down with

  • wing! Long live
    • wing!

This thread is Zzzzwing

Having played and beaten triple JumpMasters, I think what people don't understand is asteroids and positioning make the Triple Toilet list much harder to fly than it might appear. .

Sure, facing three 4-hit Proton/Plasma torpedoes a turn sounds terrifying - but how often will you actually face that? They're just as dangerous as a TIE Swarm in that they'll melt you down in the hypothetical situation when they all get to fire on you, but it's your privilege to take advantage of how hard it is to motor three large bases around without hitting anything. They're only at PS 3 so you'll usually know where they're positioned anyways before you lay down your ships.

It's a fun list, but it's nowhere near as terrifying as 4BZ and Whisper + Fat RAC in the bad old days of Wave 4 when I started playing the game.

There are plenty of counters. PS4 Alphastrikes for instance, or the good old fancy (crack)swarm.

Why do people always want nerfs waaaay before thinking of counters. That's the nature of Meta, sometimes the way you used to do **** just doesn't work anymore.

Is tactician unique or you simply cant run more than 1 on a ship?

Tactician is limited, not unique.

I really want Shuttles with Electronic Baffle to get on people's nerves and prevalent.

Why?

Best name for Shuttles with Baffle: Buffalos.

So we can then say

"Well, Buffalowing would eat that list like nothing"

and, that's a beautiful thing.

Why wouldn't we call them Baffalos?

I wonder if this would be viable:

Omicron Group Pilot (21)

Electronic Baffle (1)
Tractor Beam (1)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

I never believed about tales of nerf-calls everytime new waves arrive, but..

It's true. All of it.

I'm starting to think the amount of forumwhine we're seeing is increasing proportionally with the amount of players leaving 40K and coming... here.

So many people, all so used to an inherently broken and buy-to-win game system, they just don't understand what the word "balanced" means any more. New ships released? Of course they must be broken and OP! It's what they're used to!

So many years of GW damage to the tabletop gaming community cannot simply be undone overnight.

Please tell me that's a reference to this:

Yes, that and also the fact that the Punishing One looks like a flying toilet seat.

I sincerely hope this is a joke thread because to seriously suggest making Deadeye limited, an EPT that has been utter GARBAGE for 3 years, has given me the best laugh of the week. Well done, OP.

Serious? Until wave 8, when did you ever see this turd of an EPT get played in the last 7 waves? Please, stop complaining people.

And Magic, don't forget Magic...

Deadeye is not the problem. I think if you really want a "fix", it's better to make the Scout a unique unit. Personally I don't think the Scout is a problem though, the meta will develop.

Oh oh! Wow! It's happening so fast! Quick, please someone use the term "Ordnance-wing" or something like that :D

It's worse...we need ordnance-gate!

No thanks, the Gamma Squadron Veteran isn't even released yet!

Trying to decide between guidance chimps and long rang scanners. I mean, 4 GSVs with deadeye, plasma torpedoes, extra munitions and chimps is 100pts.

Chimps will modify the second shot, since LRS will probably stop working after the first round of fire... Hmm...

Those majestic narwhals sure are baffling to me.

Or FFG could fix the FAQ for the R4 Agromech to not trigger on paying the cost of a weapon, which would actually be in line with the rules in the RRG

In FAQ they did quite the opposite. For a reason.

Because it's INTENDED to work taht way, to make ordnance and Blaster turrets not_useless_dust_collectors
