Example:
Would you pay:
16 pts for a Rogue Tycho?
17?
18?
19?
20?
Etc.
Would it be worth 4 pts to have a Speed 5 scatter squadron that can zip about, unhindered? Maybe, maybe not.
IG88 is 21 points with speed 5, 4 blue AS dice, black battery die, 5 hull and scatter that completely ignored defensive abilities.
20 points for an A-Wing that can't be locked down is fine.
So comparing Tyco and IG-88.
Tyco IG-88
Speed 5 5
Hull 4 5
AA 3 Blue 4 Blue
AS 1 Black 1 Black
Specials Counter 2 Counter 2
(Rogue) added for this Rogue
Unique Not prevented from moving or attacking ships when engaged Ignore keyword Escort and Counter on enemy squadrons
Tokens Scatter Scatter
Brace
Points 16 (20 for sake of argument with Rogue) 21
So speed is the same, IG-88 does a bit more (1 blue die) damage, and can take one more hit. But Tyco I think is the tougher one of the two actually. IG with only one token and most squadrons having blue die for anti-squadron it is likely that they will get at least one accuracy (I know I can almost never use my scatter). This still leaves Tyco with his brace, I would ignore the unique abilities as both are good, and so think they are about equal in points value. Right now I would say that Tyco should cost more than IG, but in full disclosure I am mostly an Imperial player, and I think that most of the Rebel fighters are under pointed as is (or the Empire ones are over pointed depending on how you look at it).
