Operations Specialist - more anti ace stuff?

By Managarmr, in X-Wing

Nor any ARCs.

Bombers, what are those?

Crackswarms, how crap are they?

ARC's aren't jousters.

Bombers are alpha strikers, which is different.

Crackswarms are jousters and use pure efficiency to win.

Beyond that, where are the jousters? I'm thinking the T-65 and the B-wing as they are classic jousters.

Arcs are terrible terrible jousters. They want to sidestep you and fire out the ass because odds are you cant follow them easily, especially with VTs, but you still got a shot on them.

Its quite rare i get a frontal shot with them except at range3. Or my SFs for that matter, which play very similar.

Arcs have the Hp to simply weather a joust but why would you do that when you can sidestep it? Yeah, -1 die for you, big deal 0 die for them. The moment the ARC takes a range 1 shot is the moment they lost half their health if not more. Norra's regen wont save you if you lose half your hull immediately.

What about Operation Spec on Whisper. Now she is guaranteed focus token either when hitting or missing, even if blocked/bumped, advantage over recon spec. Also can take an evade action and guarantee 4 greens with aa focus and evade token.

Operations Specialist might be valuable near Whisper, but not on her. With four dice and FCS, she doesn't miss that often but she does take a lot of fire. For that one crew slot and three points you could have Rec Spec, Rebel Captive, Kallus, or even Intelligence Agent. All help Whisper more individually.

However, if Whisper is flying with a Gunner Decimator or a Miniswarm things might be different.
