If you were a pilot in X-Wing, what would you fly, and what would your ability be?

By Razgriz25thinf, in X-Wing

Here is my take!

Rear firing arc, lots of upgrade options, probably go with the Starvipers' dial.

But how does a -18 shoot backwards except chaff and flares? (Which should give you at least one more green die)

The rear arc represents the Guardian or Bot mode.

Always thought the A-Wing should have a rear arc as those guns could pivot, as to what I had always read.

That card generator is sweet and kept my boys from going to bed tonight as all they could think about were their own custom ships!

Obviously I'm a Tie Fighter Pilot. I'm pretty good at the game, but would never put myself on the level of a top ace so PS 7 fits. I have and always will love flying tight formations and improving my squads abillity to match mine would make squadron flying much easier. Nice and easy with no extra frills.

I've got a knack for maneuvering around asteroids a getting close without hitting.

During the combat phase, if you did not perform a straight maneuver and you're within width of ruler of an astroid, gain 1 agility die until the end of turn.

When you barrel roll, use the 1 bank template.

This is me. I refuse to get stressed.

"When you execute a white maneuver, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll."

Note that it does not say action. Unpredictability is the name of the game, and being able to boost or barrel roll while stressed is pretty cool. But more often I'd be used as a cheap ptl-stye interceptor by getting decent action economy, and I'd fly unlike any of the well-known interceptors out there by utilizing white maneuvers: "2-turn? What's a 2-turn?" Oh, and I'm PS 5 so I can be cool and fly with Lt. Lorrir and "Fel's Wrath." Huge fan of those guys. EDIT: I have no idea what cost. 23 like those guys would be cool, but it may be more on par with Kir Kano's 24 or Turr Phennir at 25. Maybe I could negotiate a PS boost while I'm at it. But no EPT - they're overrated.

P.S. I was originally thinking of something where I could reroll one attackndie at range one if I gave up my bonus attack die, Y-wing guy upthread came up with something clever using a similar mechanic.

When a ship in your firing arc at range 1-2 declares you the target of an attack you may assign your ship an Evade token.

Once per round, after you perform an attack that hits, you may perform an attack with an equipped "cannon" secondary weapon. You may not attack again this turn. You may only equip cannons that are worth 1 to 3 points (weakness is shared if IG-2000 title is equipped).

I'm really annoying with my current build of IG-88 and this... would just make it worse :P

That may be quite good in place of IG-88C in my Meat Popsicles build. (Which I've been meaning to test with new upgrades: replace the Flechette Cannons and Seismic Charges with Tractor Beans and Thermal Detonators.)

Where is the cannon upgrade?

To hell with everything, I have been waiting the chance to barrel roll with the Lambda since it came out years ago. :D

It's not canon.

Whenever you receive a stress token you may immediately perform a free BOOST or BARREL ROLL action (This may be done while you have stress tokens)

I tip my hat to you on that

"Increase your agility by 1 for each enemy ship that can declare you a target."

This is a strong way to counter swarms or focus firing, would mean you need to carefully manoeuvre to avoid getting it in arc by more than one ship to stand a chance of killing it. Offensively it can charge into range 1 in the centre of the board and still hope to live long enough to deal some heavy damage.

Would need to be a high point cost though as its a strong ability (30-32pts?)

PS 7- I'm (he's) more of a strategist than a pilot

Tie interceptor (chiss claw craft if it's ever released)

At the start of the activation phase choose one enemy ship anywhere in the play area and guess a manuever outloud. When that ship executes a manuver, if it's the one you guessed you may add one attack die or add one defense die when attacking or defending against that ship this round.

I would make it a simple buff and lose the "against that ship" bit. Thrawn could look at a culture's artwork and figure out their battle plans, so using one ship's maneuver to figure out another's strategy doesn't seem like a stretch.

I got it.

I will be a pilot of the B-wing prototype. 3 1 2 4

My Pilot Skill would be 7 and my ability would be when attacking at range 1 with a <cannon> upgrade I may modify 1 die to any result.

Also I will equip the upgrade found in THIS POST
