The Problems With This Preview Article

By Firespray-32, in X-Wing

My problem is I cant dump 6 pieces of trash on the battlefield with the 6 things that will start the game.

They're all Galactic Civil War era pilots.

Ventress died in the Clone Wars.

There are a large number of pilots in the game that died before Poe was born. You can't really nitpick individual bits of temporal inconsistencies because the entire game is one.

Are you sure. I thought it was pretty well established that Poe was a child during the rebellion via Star Wars Shattered Empire? He was no pilot but alive at least :P Maybe I read that timeline wrong.

I thought sharra got pregnant right after endor? I could be misremembering. Been a while sonce I read shattered empire

According to the wiki article I just pulled up, Poe was born 2 years before the Battle of Endor. ESB is 3 years after ANH and RoTJ is 4 years after ANH.

Its an illicit slot. Run a Z-swarm with it.

Enjoy!

7 Binayre Pirates with Cargo = 94pts. Slap a couple Tracers in there to spread the TL love or add a Homing Missile or something.

Effective? hell no. Annoying as feth? Hell yes lol

If it wasn't you would have to buy 7 shadowcasters.... I think FFG missed out on some sales by making it large ship only.

Wasn't Ketsu Onyo a male??

there's one thing they got right, though

"Insofar as it allows you to fire outside of your primary firing arc, the mobile firing arc functions much like a 360-degree turret. However, it requires that you spend an action to adjust its rotation, allowing for that slight chance you could fail to catch your target within the arc. And for these reasons, the main difference between the mobile firing arc and a 360-degree turret is that your mobile firing arc requires you to make decisions."

I know they didn't intend to slight PWT lovers, but when I read this section I just burst out laughing :P

NECROMANCY CONFIRMED

It's her good twin. Back when she fell to the dark side, her midichlorians went all mitosis, cutting her in two in the process. The one we knew and some loved had some dark side adventures. The other settled down into a quiet life of gunrunning in a Mandalorian bird of prey.

Oh. My bad.

That's cool.

Some, while no t confirmed as dead, have not appeared since TCW - Latts Razzi, Moralo Eval.

Razzi's still be around. I'm surprised Eval isn't dead but he was a pretty slippery fellow.

This made me cringe.

While the ship's two forward laser cannons are reflected in its primary weapon value of "3," its triple laser turret could have been represented in the game by either a 360-degree firing arc, as with several other turreted ships like the Millennium Falcon and VT-49 Decimator .


Those ships do not have 360 degree firing arcs. No ships have 360 degree firing arcs. <_<

Isn't she a Sith apprentice? Why is she not an Imperial pilot??

Uh, like half the x wing pilots were corpses as of the transport. Necromancy been around for a while.

Is Ventress Death even really, really canon? I know she was supposed to fall in love with a jedi and die for it. But has the story been published or is there a chance for her to have her redemption arc in 'Rebels'?

Isn't she a Sith apprentice? Why is she not an Imperial pilot??

She was Doku's illegitimate apprentice (rule of two), but Palp demanded from Doku to let loose of her. Which first ended up in her going on a quest for revenge against Doku, nearly killing him a few times, joining later Boba's Bounty Hunter Crew for some time and finally finding new purpose in the galactic underworld, and redeeming herself later.

So nah, she fits perfectly to Scum, because that is the ventress most fans love most. The one fighting the Sith. And she went anyway from Jedi Padawan to Sith Apprentice just to become finally the daughter and free witch of dathomir which she always was supposed to be.

(Yes, I am a fan of the character, especially of her interactions with Asoka, a shame that we did not see her later relationship with Quinlan Vos in TCW.)

And really Republic should be Imperials and Seperatists should be Rebels or scum.

And really Republic should be Imperials and Seperatists should be Rebels or scum.

Nah. It is the alliance to restore the republic. The Sith had control of the separatists military, while they only had the chancellor position and political influence in the republic during the clone wars. I am still for making the republic align to the jedi, while the separatists are aligned to the sith. It's not until the declaration of the empire that the sith are able to take full control of the republic. And for scum? Well the Mandolorians were always that one force in the galaxy who did not give a **** about the wars of the sith and jedi. They are imho the corner-stone of the scum faction.

Wasn't Ketsu Onyo a male??

Nope.

Why has nobody pointed this error out?

"its triple laser turret could have been represented in the game by either a 360-degree firing arc, as with several other turreted ships like the Millennium Falcon and VT-49 Decimator."

THEY DONT HAVE 360 DEGREE ARCS. This is like newb-o mistake numero uno, and you just reinforced it with your dumb article.
