The Maneuver Templates should be optional

By Holmelund, in X-Wing

I think Maneuver Templates are redundant, and add more clutter to the game than their given reason for existing warrants. I think they should be optional. Seriously, who among us cant eyeball where the ship will end up on any given movement?

Most of the time they just get in the way and forde you to move other ships out of the way.

I am sure there are some really good reason to have those templates, but I am also sure that those reasons aren´t good enough.

But that´s me. What does the community think? Will the game fall apart without them, or be better off without them?

LOL

I think Dice are redundant, and add more clutter to the game than their given reason for existing warrants. I think they should be optional. Seriously, who among us can't calculate the average result (round down) and just go with that?

Most of the time they end up in bad positions, beneath ships (looking at you Mr. VCX-100), ajar against asteroids, off the table, and just generally make a mess of the pristine state of the tabletop.

Playing the game by the rules should be optional, we should all just hold our tiny plastic space ships in the air and zoom them around making engine noises and shouting PEW PEW at each other.

Umm... wait, I do that anyway.

I think playing on a table should be optional and add more clutter to the game than they given reason for existing warrant. I love to play in the elevator or on the seats of my car, i'm sure many of you have stories about how the table improve your experience or how the playmats looks cool with your ships, but have you ever tried to play in a baby sandbox or in airport alley, that give so much deep emotions than your house. For example I also love to play in the locker rooms or using a wooden bench

Funny thing is, the only truly redundant component are the actual ship models!

Nah the pegs are also redundant.

The game itself it's redundant. Surrender to the will of the Emperor!

Life is redundant the planet doesn't benefit from having us on it.

I'm redundant and so's my wife.

No, in light of recent events that particular Python reference feels a little too prophetic :(

I think humans should be redundant,

So like in Toy Story the ships actually come to life when were not around and battle it out until we come back. Pew pew pew

I prefer to mentally roll randomized results in my mind. It's staggeringly unlikely, but yes, I did in fact roll yet another outlier set of 4 critical hits.

Please don't clutter the forum, troll.

This topic is redundant.

Well, you don't have to use it....

Please don't clutter the forum, troll.

Please don't oppress others.

Until they fix the 2 Bank, I'm agreeing we should just get rid of all movement templates. They need to nerf the 1 straight.

Redundancy is redundant, we already had dundant, why we had to redundit?

My pants are redundant.

The Internet is mean.

The GunBoat features an all 2Bank dial.

When we will have a Gunboat Veteran Heroes, featuring a red gunboat with white stripes, FFG?

My pants are redundant.

Only four? But Whisper rolls five at range 1...
