SF Fighter preview

By Mu0n729, in X-Wing

Technically that'd be a 6 foward...more if you consider basehopping between the 2 and 4 lol

TIE Punisher's even slower - maximum forward move is 3 straight - but it has Boost as well.

The TIE Punisher can move faster than the TIE/sf Fighter. A 3 plus boost is equivalent to a 5 maneuver, farther if you bank your boost.

The precise manner that this one is full of red is a little unusual for a TIE, and I admit the lack of the 5 straight is borderline breaking cannon, but the idea in general has precedent.

It's comparable to the TIE bomber (another ship incapable of reaching speed 5 straight - only having a speed 5 K-turn instead)- but with better low speed maneuverability (bomber doesn't get speed one hard turns at all), and it has Segnors instead of K-turns.

TIE Bombers were not called a ship that 'can really move' by a pilot whose day job was flying a ship with a 4 forward and boost. ;)

Actually he said, "Whoa, this thing really moves."

Which doesn't have to mean it's fast. Apparently it means the controls are twitchy and it's hard to fly well making for lots of pilot stress.

Or maybe he was honestly surprised it moved at all. He's used to blasting them out of the sky so fast he assumed they were all just floating there stationary

"This thing really moves!"

Translation- "How the **** sensitive are this ******* things controls!?!?" Poe was in a Disney film, so he couldn't use those words.

I'm not really worried about the ship's competitiveness. I'll fly it because it is awesome.

Nonono if it's not competitive it sucks, this is the standard on these forums.

Your not allowed to enjoy non competitive ships young man.

Ships can be both competitive and fun.

Would the Kithraxzes have been less fun at 19pts? Would the game have been less interesting if scyks were 13pts base? Would you honestly enjoy the gave less if Ewings were cheaper, or more of the astromechs were reliable enough to depend on? Do you truly feel the TIE advanced was more interesting before their title came out?

We're not arguing that apps shouldn't be interesting. We'd just like things to work as intended, for their price tag, straight out of the box.

And hopefully not work too well in the process, either.
