Which ships/upgrades do you think are most overcost?

By StriderZessei, in X-Wing

This isn't a poll, so I won't be posting results in a second thread.

But I am curious; it seems a lot of things from the first few waves just cost a bit much when you compare them to stuff coming out now.

WARNING: BIASED OPINION INCOMING

I look at Super Dash and think, 'there's no way this should cost 58 points. Sure it rolls 4 dice per attack with a turret, and has no craps to give for obstacles, but only 10 effective health, ps7, and no regen.'

I look at how hard it is to make an effective squad of X-Wings without Biggs, because tricking out some T-65s with astromechs and mods is so expensive.

What do you guys think? Should the TIE/D title also reduce the Defender's cost? Do Star Vipers cost too much for what they do?

A tricky thing about overcosted is that the right new piece could turn that around if it happens to work really well with it. As an upgrade Deadeye was often considered overpriced at 1 point until U-Boat lead to the cries of "BAN IT/CHANGE IT/GET RID OF IT SOMEHOW AS IT'S RUINING THE GAME!" In theory anything that isn't getting played is overpriced because if it was priced right it should get played; this of course ignores the little problem that some ships may be underpriced which gets them used most often and which makes them the default standard for "correctly priced."

All small base generic pilots are overcosted. At this point it appears FFG does this intentionally. Their decision to do this is HORRIBLE. :(

(the exceptions are Y-wings & K-wings because of TLT & bombs respectively)

(even TIE swarms are now non-competitive at the regional tournament level)

Expose. Terrible card. Terrible price. Your chances of getting hits is better if u take a target lock or focus. And guess what that cost 4 points less than expose. Not to mention you lose an agility. Which potentially could cause u to lose 3 green dice if u get shot 3 times in one round.

Leia. I suppose this card could pay off in epic. If you flew a giant block of ships in formation and wanted to flip them around. Still I wish they would make another Leia upgrade card so she could see some actual play time.
