Ion Torpedoes: Previously Overlooked, Now Viable?

By PaulTiberius, in X-Wing

I'd like ion torps a lot more if the primary target got 2 ion tokens. So many large base ships now. . .

Quite honestly, I had never thought to try them because I think I simply overlooked the fact they can still deal 4 damage.

In my scrimmaging, I was shooting them at a Decimator and getting splash ions on its TAP escorts. Perfect setup for Expose Zuckuss to one-shot them, if the green dice do that fickle thing they do.

But yeah, running Fleet Officer on a TIE shuttle is going to be bonkers. A TAP with Title gets a TL+F Procket shot, and you can even Juke it for good measure.

^^^ How is that relevant to Ion torps? Whydidnt you make a list using them? Isnt that what the discussion is about?

Drop the crew and upgrade both the Protons or kavil's Plasmas. You don't need me to hold your hand. I just figure as long as we're expanding our thinking about ordnance delivery, we might as well expand it for ordnance platforms too.

I 'm completely fine with that idea of expanding to other ordnance, or swapping gear. I was just curious on if you were trying to make it a jumpmaster thread, or a Kavil one. No harm, no foul. Thanks for the suggestions on the swaps of gear too.

I was championing Torpedoboat Drea before GC came out- got 6th in swis at a 53 person store champ.

Sadly, Jumpmasters get many of her tricks and are far more durable.
