TBs got you down? He's your only hope.

By GrimmyV, in X-Wing

That's right, with the new FAQ up and running the Tractor Beam is now poised to give the hurting to any small ships unlucky enough to fly too close to obstacles. Even large ships won't like the reduced agility that comes with tractor tokens. And just wait for TIE/D Defenders in a couple of months! So what are we to do?

Ahem.

This ship ignores all Tractor Beam tokens.

(Discard this card to place one Evade token on this ship). ---more fluff, thematic but not needed

This is for all those folks that are sooooo scared of TBs and getting beached on rocks in the summer time.

...huh?

A bit of a tongue in cheek proposal for a future upgrade card.

I mean, it's funny and all, but most small ships don't have crew slots.

What, you don't like HWKs?

But on HWKs and E2 B-wings, it would be glorious ...

I'd go with 3-4 Pts and have him effect all ships. Similar to how Princess Leia is. She is the one who first called for his help.

Really, because I remember a certain someone on a certain ship that got pulled in by a tractor beam.

"After you receive a tractor token from an enemy ship, you may discard that ship's tractor beam then discard this upgrade card."

Go ahead, tractor beam my 3 Jumpmasters hahahahahahahahaha

$90 pay to win ahahahahaha *obnoxious rapid hip hop airhorn sound effect*

I just arc dodge/evade their attack. Can't tractor what they can't hit :P

Besides, I'm excited to see tbs on my opponents list. "You wanna shoot blanks at me? I'm fine with taking no dmg sir! ^_^" I'll begin to worry when tieD arrive but even then, back to arc dodging/evading.

Ben wasn't immune to tracker beams, he just disabled them. So, if he ever did make his way into the game, maybe "When attacked with a tracker beam, discard this card to gain a focus token and discard the attackers tractor beam cannon upgrade after this attack." 1 point. The focus token mostly for fluff/force.

You never cease to disappoint. This game by any definition is pay to win. All parts of the game require purchase. Nothing is free, and you must pay a fee just to begin. But then again, it's like arguing with a brick wall and I always get flabbergasted by the ignorance.

The funniest part is I spent most of last night beating 3xToilet Seats or some variant of it. No i didn't play it myself.

It is not that hard...

I also don't think it's very pay to win either. It was just a joke post, I figured the laughing and the obnoxious hip hop air horn would get that across. Our playgroup sometimes likes to play those sound effects when a good roll happens or a ship draws a direct hit.

God, I can't believe that I just had to explain that. I hate this hugbox community sometimes.

I'm not complaining about Triple U-Boat. I like the effect it's having on the meta, it being arguably OP is good for the game.

Two things:

1) Sarcasm doesn't come across well in text.

2) With all the complaining about it lately, it is hard not to jump to the conclusion that any comment about it is yet more complaining.

That said, I knew you were joking. But I guarantee you 10 people saw what you wrote and said "Yea, pay to win, f that list".*Grumble Grumble* LOL

Yeah, trolling the people who were okay with some of the more obnoxious broken wave 7 stuff like Palp Aces and quad TLT but are suddenly angry about Kriegsmarine is funny. Really, scum finally gets something viable other than Brobots (and Vaynmaaren's Boba Bossk) and Deadeye is finally relevant and it needs nerfing, but Palp Aces doesn't? K

They're like those a-holes that think/thought the stresshog needed to be nerfed. SOMETHING BEAT MY PALP ACES SQUAD, THAT'S BROKEN. THE STRESSHOG IS AN AUTOINCLUDE AND TOO GOOD FOR ITS POINTS.

(not raging, I love OL, she's just so powerful)

To be fair, I think at this point anything Para says could be considered obnoxious.

He could say the nest things at this point, and half the people would be like 'God, what a ****.'

Then again, they are technically PWTs and can smear ice cream all offer their face, right? :P

Since when the PalpAces is broken? A list that features a pretty unmaneuverable ship, a glass cannon that once blocked is just stardust and a recently upgraded fighter.

At least it takes skill to fly them and win.

If you aren't good enough to block my two ships well, that's not my problem. I see no cheating, since my ships can't withstand more than a couple of shots.

No, don't you get it? Putting your ships in a big block and 1-forwarding them up the board until you and your opponent compete to see which of you can roll better dice is the only true test of X-Wing skill. Post-maneuver repositioning is basically the same as cheating.

*add 3 A-wings and 2 Moist Wanted packs into the equation, because without R4+Deadeye it's a waste of a ship

Hugfest? I thought this was the High Functioning Sheldon Cooper AU crowd that just don't get sarcasm.

It hurts when I watch live streams, and this is what happens. Watched the Athena store champ and watched 3 TIE advanced fly straight into a 7 TIE howler/epsilon swarm. They then congratulated the advanced player on how good of a pilot he is... It boggled my freaking mind. Now that more stuff is becoming viable and things like the tractor beam are starting to show up in lists, it's just going to make things more interesting.

In defense of our statements (not that I need to defend them) there is a difference between being a good pilot, and a good tactician. Jousting with the TIE Adv against the TIE's was a poor tactical decision, however his use of post maneuver re positioning was textbook and impressive nonetheless despite the tactical blunder.
