VOTE Here: Most Hated Upgrade Card in X-Wing

By TitaniumChopstick, in X-Wing

Shara Bey. I hate her because she should have been good, and ended up being one of the worst pilots in the game.

She is not bad. It is more of the ARC-170 with the Elite Slot I like, but she is not bad with the right combos. She may not be great, but I much rather have her than someone like Fel's Wrath.

-Try-

Weapons Engineer + M9-G8

-or-

Stay on Target + Hera (Crew) + Targeting Astromech

Millenium falcon title. Why unique? Can't have evade on 1 falcon and S-loop on another. Stupid.

Did you just ask why the Millenium Falcon title is unique?

PtL, as a representative for any auto-include card.

Palp, by far.

Gunner, Saboteur, and counter measures.

Gunner - Enables things like deci vaders.

Saboteur - Mostly a useless card.

Counter measures - Outside of dengaroo, mostly not worth the 3 point for a single use.

Here is an interesting question. Which is worse, R3 astro or Saboteur?

I didn't see this and I'm to lazy to edit right now. I can at least see R3 being used on PS8+ ships to help them. Generics wont see much use from it at all.

:P

Definitely Zuckuss.

Saboteur. R3 astro at least has some life with comboing with Comms Relay. It also could actually be ok if there is ever a ship with a mech slot, systems, and crew. Then you could run R3, FCS, and Hera. So, a lot like the Lothal Rebs with infinite K-turns and stress, but now if you have an eye result that isn't doing anything, you can grab an evade! Extra icing on the cake if this theoretical ship has a tech slot for Comms Relay as well.

I agree that auto-include cards are in fact the worst.

My least favorite has to be TIE/x7.

I get TIE/D, actually. Turns defenders into the tanks they are. But I hate that x7...

- costs negative squadpoints

- adds a free evade action to the ship

- helps a ship that didn't really need a fix to start with

Any one of the three could make it OP... I'm super annoyed by this one, frankly!

I'm actually ok with the Emperor. Watch Episode VI! If anything, that guy is too weak in this game! :D

If we don't have to be reasonable about it, I'm going to say Juke. I'm sick of getting zero evade when playing Rebels.

Weapons Enginee + m9g8

Why?

She does absolutely nothing special with m8g8

You want thane farting out combat phase tls to **** with your opponent while actually being able to use them on himself

Shara does nothing special with m9g8

while I may not hate him outright as much as others, I certainly see a lot of Palpatine hate, so I'll vote for him. That or Zuckuss.

Veteran Instincts. Real tired of the initiative bid wars.

From a gameplay standpoint, I'll have to go with Palp. I do so with some regret, though, since his ability fits the fluff (suggested in Zahn's Thrawn trilogy) really well.

I'll give a dishonorable mention to Veteran Instincts, in opposition to efforts to reduce the game to a PS race.

Black Market Slicer Tools

Palpatine!

Should be Epic or R3, max!

I have a special hatred for R5-P8 if only because a guy at my local game shop can roll a hit every time on it. Aces don't really last long against damage that can't be evaded in any way.

Autothrusters.

Reason: Hypocrisy.

I don't fly Scum (to get the card*) and I've lost so many matches to Imperial Aces it's not even funny.

Well, it kind of is. I'd use them if I had them though.

* - Yes yes, you can buy cards seperate from other sites and eBay, but I'm a strange person.

How is this hypocrisy?

I can understand disliking it because it's only been released on a limited basis, but that's not hypocritical unless FFG have criticised limited-release cards. Which they haven't, to the best of my knowledge.

Yeah that makes sense. OK.

It's the same as part of the hate directed at Palpatine and (before it came out as an event participation prize) C-3PO that it's "pay to win" because it's a freaking awesome card available only in an epic ship expansion. I guess quite a few of the unique astromechs (R5-P9, R3-A2, R2-D6) fall into that category too.

Zuckuss

TIE/x1 & Advanced Targeting Computer, ONLY because they're locked behind a paywall.

Currently they're going for about $15 USD on ebay, which I'd rather spend on buying an actual ship that already includes other upgrades, tokens, etc. NOT two pieces of cardboard.

I don't like to proxy cards, (it's just a thing I have) nor should I have to spend $100 on an epic ship that in all likelihood I'll never field.

I've played against Palpatine and I don't like it, but I deal with it; I wouldn't use him if I had him--doesn't seem sporting to me.
