Suggestion to T-65...

By JimbonX, in X-Wing

Can't slepp right now. Trying relax I thought of new cards fpr T-65:

R2-q2. 2p. When attacking, you may roll 1 fewer attack die to recover 1 shield.

Unique R2 focus 2p, When you perform a focus action, you may perform a free barrel roll. (Like Jake Ferrel)

R2-5P 4p, Discard this card to remove all damage card, accept critical cards and restore shields.

R6 Astromech -2p, Reduce your Squadpoint.

After your perform a focus action you may choose to either lock s-foil och unlock.

Lock-s foil "locked" dual card title T-65 and T-70. 0p

You cannot have more than 1 focus token.

After you perform a focus action may perform a free Slam Action.

Lock-S foil in attack position. You cannot have more than 1 focus token.

During the End phase, do not remove an unused focus token from your ship.

Just give it a boost and separate sub factions.

Problem is, all of your proposed upgrades go straight onto the T-70, and people still dont bother with the T-65.

A T-65 fix is going to have to somehow read "T-65 only" .. but unfortunately the way cards are templated its difficult to support. It would have to be "Non T-70 X-Wing Only" which is wierd.

IMO for T-65 Fix:

Errata: All T-65 X-Wings to read - "T-65 X-Wing" instead of "X-Wing" in the ship-type bar.

Then:

Title Card - "T-65 Only, Your Ship gains the BR Icon and increases its shield value by one"

+15 to the number :P

X-wing only, Rebel Alliance only.

Resistence is a subfaction of Rebels. Rebel Alliance is the other sub faction. So if you want something restricted to just Alliance, you say Rebel Alliance only.

Or non-Reaistence.

Whatever.

Running 5 rookies for 95 points is too strong. Personally I think the following is more likely,

Title 1: the cost of your droid is reduced by 3

Title 2: the cost of your torp is reduced by 3 and can fire without a target lock.

Not sure how I feel about the Droid reduction title.... but the torp reduction title i am 110% behind.

Well, thats a nice work-around. Still seems clunky though, you specifically want it to be T-65, Ideally there needs to be a way to specify exactly that.

e.g. what happens if you see a character in Ep 8 or 9, a resistance pilot who still flies a T-65 for character reasons. Then FFG will be compelled to make a Resistance T-65.. and you're back to square one.

These "workaround" methods just cause more issues in the future .. you're better off straight up fixing the template.

On a more serious note, if the X-wings and Y-wings started getting unique titles from Ep4 Battle of Yavin like Red 2, Gold 5, Red 5 and such that are T-65 X wing only that could be something that fixes the T-65 without giving power to the already dominating T-70 X-wing.

Hmmm... Gold 1 Gain an EPT slot. (Although you would have to FAQ on how it works with R2-D6. Coul have a Y-wing with 2 EPT slots. :D

What about "You can equip this card only if you don't have a Tech upgrade icon on your upgrade bar."?

It suffers the same problem as the "Rebel Alliance only" workaround.. you're creating something under the assumption that a certain design space will never be used. How do you know that there will never be a good situation to create a card that adds a tech upgrade slot to the T-65? It's too risky to take that approach to solving the problem.

Non-t-70 X-wings only

X-wing only except the following pilots:

Poe Dameron

Ello Asty

Snap

Nien Nunb

Jess Testor or whatever

Red Veteran

Blue novices

Clunky enough for you?
