Please, make E-Wings viable.

By TheMoonLord, in X-Wing

Enhanced Gyroscopics

System 1pt

Bwing and Ewing only

You may perform barrel rolls with the 1 slight turn template.

This one would actually be great, but only for E-wing IMO. Makes it more of an interceptor, with the possibility of a 4 or 5 straight then an arc rectification via this modified barrel roll.

And, please, stop searching for something that "doesn't work on Corran", the two other factions have way worse to put on the table now. Corran is anoying, but not in any way OP in the current meta.

We love our generic non-Corran Ewings. Who languish in FFG-non-efficient-hell. That's why we do it.

Well. Some of us.

Some of us kinda hate Corran.

Or Rebels.

Rebel Scum.

am i the only person that shows Etahn any love? i run him in a Lucky 7's list with VI Gemmer and Jake, i love his ability (am tempted to run him with a little swarm as when shields go it works lovely.

Corran is good, he is in my final 2 for a 50pt top gun build but i think i will prefer my bombs!

Generics need a point reduction or they dont get taken, i tried a generic and he died quite quickly.

My idea for upgrades:

Fancy sounding E-Wing Title (0pts):

You may equip either a [system] or [Astromech] costing 3 points for free.

Integrated R7 [Astromech] (3pts, E-wing only):

When you reveal a green manoeuvre assign a focus token to your ship.

When you reveal a white manoeuvre assign an evade token to your ship.

When you reveal a red manoeuvre you may perform a free boost action.

Sensor upgrade [system] (3pts, E-wing only):

Once per round when attacking and once per round when defending you may change one of your opponents [eye] results to a blank result.

The idea is to give the E-wing a 'discount' while encouraging upgrades, limiting the 'discount' to exactly 3 points also limits what upgrades you can choose from.

The R7 helps the lower PS pilots with some action economy, survivability and unpredictability and the Sensor upgrade is an E-wing only tweaked version of Sensor Jammer to help both offence and defense.

Feel free to critique or tweak to your hearts content.
