How have there not been more posts about:
Nien Numb: Snap Shot, R3-A2?
I just read these two cards and ****, at this pilot skill Nien can sneak up on Soontir, Corran, Poe, Talonbane Wedge, Wes, and anyone else above a 7, and snap shot/stress them while he still knows where they are. This seems absolutely amazing to me. Am I missing something?
because once you actually try him, you realize he's kinda really REALLY underwhelming at every other range outside 1
But he has that boost, how is he not getting there? He knows where the target is after all.
knows where who is?
snap shot is after the opponent maneuvers (it ain't conner nets where you just roll up to a stationary soontir and plomp em on top of him)

Ahh darn it... Misread...
Thought it was after Nien moved.
I wish
I still think he has potential with Pattern Analyzer, EPT to taste, maybe PtL to really lay it on that poor ace before they even move.

That would have been glorious. I figured the balance was you probably don't make a real attack that turn because the ship moves out of arc. Would have been awesome on Red Vets and Greens too... huhh ohh well.

still seems fine on greens
but like, five of them
with enough unmodified dice (and crackshot), eventually one's going to stick
otherwise it's just free potential damage

Ohh there's still potential, but I would Vet instincts him at that point, force the range. Maybe even R7-T1 with experimental interface. But that's a LOT of points.

Ohh absolutely, but the plan was action denial and even maneuver (red) denial to an obnoxious extreme.
There's no way a double stressed Fel would be happy.

Except that's not how Snap Shot works.

He's taking PTL and talking about setting up shots.

Snap Shot requires you to know where the Ace is going and be at range 1 in arc beforehand, all Nunb needs to know is where he is "now", which is the reason I would not put VI on him as has been suggested.

I don;t think nunb wants snap shot either, since I think that's what you're saying. Rage, PA, EI, Stressbot.
nunb's problem isn't that you can't make a bunch of cool combos out of his ability
his problem is that, even with the generous point discount ffg gave him over ello, he's still riding an overpriced t-70. Those things burn down fast and have a real difficult time making their points back regardless of what you put on it
only Poe (ps 8) stands above the rest thanks to combination of his ability, thrusters and regeneration keeping him in the fight for far longer than normal
though Stay on Target, Targeting Astro and pattern analyzer Numb is a hell of an experience
I think PTL is better on Nien Numb to be honest.
You can either use it vs lower PS to get the perfect boost + focus + stress on the target for no stress on Nien.
(You can even do this with pattern/primed after a k-turn/talon roll. boost to range 1, lose stress, PTL to an action, lose stress, shoot, lose stress).
OR. If you face higher PS, you can still end up with only 0-1 stress if you land in range 1 of an enemy before they move.
To me its the Kturn/T-roll into a boost/focus or a focus/TL for no stress that really really makes him cool, and hard to shake!
I might do snapshot on my buzzsaw Decimator.
