Nothing's good on a scyk it needs that title to be free.
Rebel Ion Cannon upgrade for the Z-95?
The only problem I have with the title is that it would be rebel only.Fluff wise scum also had some z-95 with Ion cannons. Mara Jade 's Z-95 was noted as having one. And as for the comment of it stepping on the Scyk's toes between the Jouster style dial, lack of a boost and the new Protectorate fighter I don't see a solid place for Scyk in the game anymore. Never mind the the Scyk's Title. Which is a real shame I love the ship but can't justify it in a list.
...Aces have very little health...I doubt he'd be so insane he prevents aces from appearing ever again, but he would seriously make them work their butts off to win if hes around.
I agree; a low-cost ship with Blount and auto-Ion would be broken. In my opinion, if Ace's (TIEs, A-wings or whatever) flying is knocked off the proverbial top-tier of pilot ability and game controlling power by something like the 95-auto-ion & hit Blount, the game dies.
You know, I sure have my I on a Rebel Canon upgrade. The question is what to upgrade too. I'm thinking 7DmkII or 80D but not sure which.
Blount with an ion cannon can't be so much scarier than, say, Blount with advanced homing missile.
Also: Blount at range 3, through an asteroid, is stripping the Stealth Device from Soontir no matter what Blount is attacking with. With or without Soontir getting help from Palpatine.
There's a reason we don't see this PS6 ship flying around much - even though he's only 17 points.
we dont see him because right now hes a 1shot for ~21pts. Auto-killing stealth devices alone isnt worth bringing him since theres plenty of lists without them (ive been running a bumperwing list with him around and an ion missile: in 8 games i havent seen a single stealth device so far ... no idea how lol). The autohit goes off ONCE so nobody flips out over it. Had i been able to do it multiple times im sure they'd be freaking out.
