Is the Ghost Expansion worth it to buy a second?

By beowolf777, in X-Wing

imperials are the only ones that dont spam large ships these days. Probably because the Firespray is worthless, Shuttle is unusable outside palpmobile since its so clunky, and the Decimator would be great if it was a few points cheaper or had a sensor slot instead of a third crew. Course the Decimator could become pretty good since 3 crew allows some unique comboing....that is once we get something to combo with lol.

Even if the Ace mentality wasnt a thing i dont think we'd be trying to run multiple large ships.

i still dont think multiple large ships should even be legal in normal games. Course that would never change purely because of the Iggy title being a thing and nothing else. "Heavy" fighters are typically used to attack starships, not other fighters.

It's worth buying a second ghost because it is the new Rebel B-wing and the generic pilots are correctly priced.

Runner up at Gen Con earns it a seal of approval.

I am not confident that FFG is going to fix small ship generics anytime soon. That just means you have to run large base generics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is ironic. Someone whined about the composite laser of the B-Wing prototype and I just thought: Man if they would have made the B-Wings as awesome as they are supposed to be with 4 attack dice, TIE/D title and all pricey as they should have been, I wonder how the meta would have changed over the years. Instead FFG wanted something that people need to buy 4.

You certainly have a point when you call the Lothal Rebel the new B-Wing.

that is a valid point actually...

Bwings in xwing are cheaper than xwings...wat? i mean they can easily outprice them but mainly via ordnance. Bwings have always been the slow moving, expensive, but deadly ship. They probably should have costed ~5pts more, no torp slots (since i seriously dont ever remember them having ordnance, just a ton of big guns), double fire, and a 4die primary. i say 5pts because theyre still a squishy 1agi ship so they'll blow up quick.

Heck the main purpose of the Xwing is an escort ship. Outside transports, who are they escorting? BWINGS! Why do they have the same attack stat?
