Ok, come up with your own name for it:

Unnamed Title (title)

E-wing only

-2 points

You may take a free Evade action when you perform a Barrel Roll action.

You may not equip upgrades with costs of 4 or more.

There. Doesn't help Corran because no Engine Upgrade, no R2-D2. Generics get cheaper and have some action economy.

And yeah, sorta similar to the x7, but different enough.

Normally I'm against spitting out fixes but the E needs some love and has needed it since day one. The ugly thing, bless it's heart.

Actually Corran could use a buff too. Yeah, he is good, but not nearly as good as the nearly 50 you spend on him suggest. And with all the ignore-shield-tech we are seeing lately he will suffer greatly.

I believe the E-Wing was broken down into 'series'- maybe that'd be a good name "Series II E-Wing".

Add a tiny microphone that produces dr. Zoidberg sounds when you Barrelroll for extra lulz

Yeah, you barely see Corran anymore. With BMST and Wampa being things, I don't see why he can't benefit from a little buff as well. Plus the quadjumper looks like it may be another tool in the arsenal that could ruin an ace's day.

Corran had his chance.

But...I guess an alternate title adding a hull, called 'enclosed astromech', whenever you have an Astro on board. No one shots any more from missiles or proton bombs.

really dont get why people think corran doesnt need a buff.

I almost never see him. and when i do, he goes poof pretty quick.

Personally the largest gripe i have with that ship is the dial. Corran's abilty does not overpower the lousy dial imo. The range of motion isnt the problem, its lack of greens. Why does a pretty fast and agile ship (3 agility and evade action) only have 1-3 straight greens and 2 banks? It makes destressing a nightmare considering hes so squishy he has to book it in order to not die.

Not saying he needs a hard green turn but more banks or full 1-5 green straights would be great.

I believe the E-Wing was broken down into 'series'- maybe that'd be a good name "Series II E-Wing".

The Type B E-wing was the one that, in universe, had certain problems with the first generation version (specifically, lasers) fixed.

No, no extra hull. I think people are tired of spending too much points on a ship. We don't want 2 or 3 ship lists. Just make the E-wing cheaper. Don't forget, The more ships fly with Etahn Abaht, the better his ability gets

nothing wrong with 2/3 ship lists; they're pretty strong and sometimes VERY spiffy

anyway, the E-wing doesn't really suck per say as in it's got potential in its upgrade slots, action bar and dial

it's just idiotically overpriced

the Knave is perhaps the single most overpriced ship in the entire game, perhaps equaling ye ole pre-fix advance with a 4 point overcost

Knave at 23 points doesn't sound dumb, but lo it's 27

I kinda wish Integrated Astromech didn't have the X-wing-only requirement.

That pic is so cute, mommy and daddy with baby.

Wow, didn't realize quite how much bigger the ARC-170 was compared to an X-wing.

Advanced Sensor Package
Modification

E-Wing only

You may perform two actions each round.

3pts



And yes, Integrated Astromech would fit nicely on an E-Wing to give you R2 Astromech to fix the dial.

Corran needs something that stops him being so vulnerable to shield avoiding mechanics. Meanwhile, all the others need a lower price point. Those should be two separate fixes.

Series IV E-Wing

Title. E wing only.

0 points.

When you are dealt a damage card, if you have at least one shield token, you may discard a shield token to discard that damage card.

Simple, straightforward, direct buff to Corran, without making him a complete monster. He's still just as vulnerable to torp spam as ever, but he's not utterly terrified by a little 14 point TIE Fighter any more.

Series II E-Wing

Title. E-Wing only.

-4 points.

This card has a negative squad point cost. You must equip an astromech with the prefix R7, paying the full squad point cost. You may not equip any additional astromech upgrades.

R7-Z0

Astromech.

1 point.

When acquiring a target lock, you may measure for range from any friendly ship within range 1-2.

I like fixes like this (I've proposed a similar mechanic for the X Wing where you have to equip a proton torpedo) because it means you have some flexibility in how you build your ship. Want a straight up points reduction? Pop the 1 point mech in there, and you save three points. Maybe chuck guidance chips and plasma torps and you have an effective little torpedo carrier with a pseudo LRS upgrade. Want something defensive? R7 Astromech with FCS. Points are a wash, but you have effectively gained Tarn Mison's ability on a better chassis. Want action efficiency? Pop R7-T1, EI and Predator on Etahn. Want super regenning Corran? Go ahead and build him, he's still there.

That's what I reckon anyway.

they're the 2nd generation Dark Lighters

Fix E-Wing... make it cannon. Make a new TV series or something, or comic... that reintroduces the E-Wing in post- ROTJ era!

I gave my E-Wing to a friend that is just starting his collection. The E-Wing has so much potential, it's sad it's so overcosted.

I say we turn it into a Defender:

FreiTek Retrofit

Torpedo, E-Wing Only

- 4 points

After executing a 3, 4, or 5 speed maneuver, you may assign 1 evade token to your ship.

Or maybe an Aggressor:

Series IV

Title, E-Wing Only

- 2 points

Your upgrade bar loses the torpedo icon. Your action bar gains the boost icon. After you perform a boost or barrel roll action, you may assign a free evade token.

Even if the Ewing is a scrapped prototype seen in the background. It leaves the ship open to cannon stories. I'm for it.

I hate corran as a regeneration build. Do something else with him please.

Corran is even more squishy now with BMST.

I took out a nearly 50 point Corran in two rounds with BMST on my brobots list this weekend.

HLC Bots are already a tough matchup for Corran, because they can overwhelm him with dice, but my god it was glorious to take him out without even having to target him for an attack.

The e-wing is wayyy over costed. Has a lot of potential, but too pricey.

Something I've been mentally toying with:

E-Wing Title

At the start of the Combat phase you may perform a free action.

This is a minor buff to Corran (he already takes his actions very close to the start of the combat phase), but a major buff to the generics- a Knave would be able to take a focus token at PS1, and then a Target Lock after everyone has moved.

Or barrel rolling after Soontir/Whisper has moved.

If this buff is too big, it can be scaled down in a couple ways.

Maybe keep Corran 'light'. VI, FCS. 38 pt double tap. Does he need boost and regen?

Given his point cost and fragility, yeah corran needs Regen

The only way corran gets a buff is if regen (or at least r2d2) gets a nerf.

I'm sorry but I've seen far too many games both playing with him and against him where he's easily regenned double or triple his shield value.

Put a hull upgrade on him if you're worried about anti shield damage.

No that's not the only way

It's incredibly easy to buff corran without buffing Regen corran

Ie, make the fix an astromech

That was easy
