Then limit the Epic to one or two Phantoms.
I'm the rare one but I still like OB (Order of Battle) Unit composition builds. Pick your primary attack fighter. For everyone 2 or 4 or these you many choose 1 other ship. It forces you to have escorts and makes the game about X-Wings and TIE Fighters.
I've found Phantoms were especially brutal in Epic. I recall when the CR-90 first came out, the Rebels had it and a bunch of X-wings. The Imperials loaded up with Tie Phantoms, Tie Interceptors, and Lambdas with HLC. "It was easy. I don't see how the CR-90 can ever compete with anything" was the comments I got. Well, against all that.....yeah.
But now we have unlimited missiles and torps... the song has changed and TLT Y-WINGS too!
Generally speaking, pennies, 2P's and 5P's are bad, along with nickels and dimes. 10P's and quarters are always useful, also anything above.
That's all I have to say about change.
I do agree that people do bicker and whine about the big new thing, there's always a sky falling thread.
I mostly agree with your summation however I feel it was brash to add the penny to the ban lists. Production issues aside they penny had its place and served its function very well. Changing the rule set to integrate rounding was just confusing. I can't speak for P's though as I'm strictly a Canadian player.
Eh it's the same, only the 1P isn't banned yet, 10P/quarter more or less the same. Nickel and dime are the 2p and 5 p... (So on the border of worth it and not worth it depending on how tight you are). 20ps and 50ps (basically a loonie in value) are always useful.

I think Order of Battle would be really cool. Harder if you don't own a huge collection (which I know you do).

YUP... EPIC requires (& how cool is dat?!) that you have three to nine of every ship... the good ships that make it STAR WARS.

I think it's been an hour since that sweet y-wing cartoon. Would appreciate another

first post in a long time for me.
personally, I couldn't agree more with the OP. back in the day, the forum was filled with cool people, positivity and a "fly casual"-attitude. It was fun.
Nowadays it's a lot of nagging around here. people need to rediscover the fact that games are supposed to be FUN.
while I enjoy a good, competitive and hard fought game as well as the rest of the lot, the point is still to have fun doing so.
so.. you're not having fun? change your attitude. or play something else, at least "in the meantime" to "your" gamefix you crave.
and sorry to say it, but some people just need to grow up a bit. if a game is no-fun to you, you really don't have to ruin it for the rest of us.

Just got The Daggers done this morning too!:
DAT GLORY!
Honestly, I'm just waiting around for black market slicer tools to get released and make Soontir's life a living hell just to see what list PGS complains about incessantly next. For a single point, you basically create a ship that Soontir has to stay out of range 2 of since BMSTs make using PTL on a high PS ship a massive weakness. And on top of that, it messes with other lists that are empirically more overpowered than Palp Aces, like Dengaroo.
