If you have a focus and a Sensor Cluster, then your chances of getting at least 1 evade result is 100%.

"At least one" is still pretty close to 0 these days.

Great, now what about the other 2 hits soontir launched at me? The issue with sensor cluster is to make it actually consistently useful you need a second focus.

Edit. There is literally a topic about this two posts down. As stated there, Poe isn't a bad candidate.

Works great with recon specialist to get more focus that you can use on evades (one for focus results and one for the blank). Currently I think the only ship with both tech and crew is the upsilon shuttle?

Renbat only has 1 dodge, but I like your idea because maybe you want that other focus to use on your 4 dice attack.

awesome

so it's -2points right?

seems about standard

So why was Weapons Guidance so good again?

The great thing about Sensor Cluster, is that if you have an evade token, then your chances of getting at least 1 evade result is 100%

If autothrusters comes into play it becomes at least 2. On a ship with agility 2. I bet frickle likes this train of thought. 100% guarantee of 100% evade results on your dice.

it had to deal with juke/coms relay

only 1 dodge but with more focus it means 1 evade per attack which is the bane of all large ships, weight of fire. I have a idea I wanna try with renbat to give him 2 recon specialist and weapon guidance + sensor cluster

not really, for the price it is just underwhelming

and fickle dice ensure you always roll 1 blank and 1 focus, unless youre poe in which case you always roll 2 focus

like most ships, the best defense for the T-70 now is simply not getting shot and with PA/primed it has been given some wonderful tools with which to facilitate this mantra. And if you don't get shot, you never have to roll greens . This is literally infinetly better than clusters

for just green dicing through damage, I'll just stick to defenders. True to their name, they're actually pretty good at defending (finally)

seems about standard

-2pts, -1 Missle Slot, -1 Cannon Slot, -1 and 2 Speed Maneuvers is "standard"

...and I guess the "standard" for getting a Primary Attack + 1 Cannon attack is 0pts? Heck, where does my Firespray sign up for that!

Defenders were overcosted, that's why its -2pts. Don't bring that argument here, its inappropriate. If you could apply x7 to anything with a Tech slot, then you might have a point comparing it to Sensor Cluster

I think I agree...."underwhelming" is the proper descriptive word.

inappropriate? what is this, elementary school ?

and it's relevant

tie/x7 shows you what a competitive effect is, while sensor clusters falls FAR short of it in just about every possible way

paying points to turn a mod into another type of modification, rather than just adding value ala tie/x7, is just not very good in comparison

at all

sensor clusters are indeed a very underwhelming upgrade, and imo you're just better off taking the flexibility of primed thrusters or PA when utilizing T-70s. The added arc-dodging and action efficiency of PA should just prove to be generally more effective overall on basically every pilot

yes, including Poe. The guy has to t-roll eventually, and primed/PA makes him a lot better at it. And while it doesn't have direct synergy like it does with PTL and Nien Nub's ability (boost before check pilot stress on a red maneuver, ala Stay on target, and you can boost into range 1 to guarantee your ability) PA lets you action up before the red maneuvers stress him, which keeps his ability (and r5-p9!) working every turn

hell, even on the SF I wouldn't take Clusters. The best defense remains simply not getting not, and given the levels of damage output in this game a single guaranteed evade for your focus isn't going to cut it
