What WOULD make the fs competitive? 3 pts drop? 5 pts drop and another red die? S loop? T roll?

A new slave one title and a generic Firespray title.

or better yet some non missile into the missile slot, that can make it more aggressive, or maneuverable. fett outmaneuvered a damned aggressor, yeah, the one with vectored engines and thrust ratio that turns meatbag pilots to tomano sauce.

free br action when rvealingN maneuver?

Firespray-31 title

When you equip upgrades, you may ignore scum only faction restrictions.

Though balance wise that might be problematic with some crew combinations, haven't checked.

Displacement mines

Bomb, Firespray-31 only

drop some tokens, fly over them and they deal 1 damage and force a barrel roll as per tractor beam rules.

Seismic Bomb

Bomb, fs only

Based on Seismic torpedo, remove an obstacle and deal damage to ships in the neighbourhood. Jango Fett style.

I feel same way really. Out of the 4 pilots she's probably the best choice.

Still a common thing I see people do is put too many upgrades on her in order to make her ability work. That's a mistake in my own opinion. If anything rebel captive if you want to try and stress something, but I was never a fan of mangler on her and calculation

For me having my opponent dodge my crit is not good, so I guess her ability there counts for something, but still it's not something I want to spend pts on, but rather more ships, or upgrade that'll increase my dmg output, and as mentioned, I find most times the crits seem to get through anyway.

The imperial firespray definitely need better abilities. Your right, even if they were the scum variation would be better than the imperial variation

I do agree that it is easy to throw too many things on her. The Firespray is somewhat over-priced already and it has a lot of upgrade options, so it is easy to go overboard. The Mangler Cannon is a quick way of pushing up her price, but it and Calculation pretty much guarentee (well, with a Focus, but that's not too hard to come by), that unless you totally blank your roll, you are either A) Stressing your target (yea!) or B) Critting your target (YEA!!!)

I mean, its kind of a half-full, half-empty way of looking at it, but I see it as punishing your opponent for avoiding your crit; you still deblilitate your target; its a positive, not a negative. The goal is not to stress the target, the goal is to crit the target and kill it. But, if that fails, stress it so you can kill it next turn.

If you look at one of the "problems" of the current meta, its Soontir Fel tokening up while Emp Palp tokes up in the shuttle. Even if you roll all Crits, he just lol's and Evade Token, Autothrusters, Steath Device for 4 Green with a Focus Token, high-five from Palp, you miss, thanks, try again.

At least with Imperial Kath, you can flip him off , and, oh, hey, double stressed, you're not doing that again next turn, Soontir.

Well, not all of it at least.

Missile upgrade can do something like this:

Firespray only, imperial only

Add illicit to upgrade bar.

When performing a (0) maneuver receive a focus token

Or something like that.

Missile for illicit would be great. Or system, with a new Slave one title giving the illicit, but being imperial only
