I wish IG-88D crew was IG-88A instead

By tsondaboy, in X-Wing

I wish the IG-88D crew card was the IG-88A, which is imo the least useful IG-88 ability.

Imagine if you could have Dengar paired with IG-88D ship and do green hard 3 speed S-loops.

A card errata maybe FFG? :P

Don't think theres a scum ship with a crew a d a 3 sloop. Ig88d(pilot) plus share crew would do nothing

He doesn't give a 3 segnor's loop himself, he just lets you 3 hard instead of soft with it when you do use it. Also like catachanninja said, there's no scum ships with a crew and a 3 Sloop.

Truthfully, I would rather it not have a letter at the end of the name at all, so that I could take 4 IGs, plus someone like Boba, or Bossk who now gets to be super awesome with them.

I would also prefer it if there was no letter after the 88 and sorry if it was not clear but what I meant is what you say about the hard 3 S-loop.

If you could do

Dengar + IG-88 + Unhinged Astromech

IG-88D

Then Dengar would be able to do hard 3 S-loops, since the IG-88D pilot ability only mentions speed for the hard 3 template.

No... he wouldn't... Because Dengar doesn't have a 3 sloop...

Ok then maybe the question is, would he require to have a 3 sloop?

Unless I am getting the IG-88D pilot ability wrong, you can use the [hard 3] template if you can do a segnor's loop maneuver.

The ability to perform a segnor's loop maneuver, regardless of its speed, is the trigger right?

Yes, it requires a 3-sloop to work. There is literally no ship currently that could use IG88D's ability if they were able to through having an IG crew.

I think it should have been E instead. :P

lol well when you take a look at it D would probibly be the least use ship because not too many ships that have crew slots have an S-loop as well. Only the JM5k could use D No scum ship could use D. As for B will you got Myst hunter tractor beam, Lets not forget the YV-666. A just about any ship could use that. C is a trickier one but since IG-88D <crew> uses a <crew> slot you can give EU modification and still use C. So really D is the logical choice to leave out.

IG-88D reads:

You may execute the [3-Left Segnor's Loop] or [3-Right Segnor's Loop] maneuver using the corresponding [3-Left Turn] or [3-Right Turn] template.

Dengar would not ever have a trigger because he doesn't execute a 3 SLoop.

Sorry guys you are right, that what you get if you read the text from a squad builder instead of a card. lol

Voidstate one day you are going to pay for destroying my dreams. :P

That's precisely why it is IG-88D - it's the IG that has no use at all as a partner so you're happy to use it as the crew slot.

There should be a crew card of each version.

There should be a crew card of each version.

Why? There's literally no reason to ever use any of the others but IG-88D.

Spreading the ability of one IG88 to 2 other ships (or even 3 in Epic)

The crew card doesn't have an innate ability though. All it does it let you share the ability of an Aggressor with the IG-2000 title. Just putting an IG-88A crew on a ship doesn't give it the IG-88A ability. In fact, it removes the IG-88A ability from your build because of the uniqueness rules.

IG-88D was the best choice because there is currently no other Scum ship with a crew slot that can do a 3-speed S-Loop. All the other IGs have abilities Scum can use.

No speed 3 S-loops on Dengar. Jumpmasters have a 2 Sloop.

Edited by SEApocalypse

They chose D because he's currently useless to other Scum ships.

They said dengar didn't have a 3 sloop 100% because of unhinged Astromech.

It ssems you can share abilities of the IG 88s among themselves provided each have the title? Not sure where one finds the uniqueness rule.
