Recaptured TIE

By Ladrillito, in X-Wing

Ahsoka Tano (17)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Sabine Wren (2)

Scavenger Crane (2)

Cluster Mines (4)

Captured TIE (1)

Sabine's Masterpiece (1)


This build, suggested by gamblertuba in another thread, has got me thinking. Dropping bombs on enemy ships without retaliation sounds fun. Now, I assume Scavenger Crane could also regenerate the Captured TIE modification after a ship is destroyed, so you can deal finishing blows to enemy ships without getting attacked by lower PS pilots (at least until you are the last friendly ship remaining).


Too expensive? Thoughts, anyone?

It just seems kinda hilarious to me

"Shoot that TIE!"

"Which one?"

"The one that just killed one of ours!"

"I'm sure that was an accident"

I love it. Totally going for this once W10 drops

Its only problem is enemy ships at PS 9 or higher and the fact that the Crane can break. Otherwise its perfectly trolly.

Always felt like Sabine's Masterpiece should've been the mod and Captured TIE the title. Pretty sure Sabine had to do more "modifications" for her Masterpiece than, you know, simply stealing a TIE.

even if the crane breaks thats 2 bombs from a ship that MOST pilots cant do anything about until it opens fire.

PS9 ships are rarer and rare these days. PS8 seems to be the common one now. Though i suspect this TIE will make PS9+ come back again in droves lol.

Even without the bombs, Asohka in that captured tie is hilarious support. Stupid cheap for action economy that cant be taken out.

Maybe in your area... I just had to deal with HotR Poe and ANH Han repeatedly.

Anything with bombs and sabine gets my approval

Go for it!

And really this build is a hilariously trolly idea. And one that could work relatively well. Gonna have to try this

So, Ashoka could pick up a TLT or HLC ? :)

Sounds like that's going to be a fun Tie-Fighter.

Read the card again. It refreshes your own discarded cards. So if you drop a bomb, you can get it back when something near you dies.

True everything is local meta dependent, but even at regionals a couple weeks ago the only PS9 i personally faced was 2 dengars and a poe. Everything else was an 8 or lower, and a LOT of the games next to me were lower as well.

They arent gone. Never will be gone while Dengar is still a thing (hate that ship more for the fact that its so good it makes its face appear in EVERY LIST than i hate it because its a broken/op ship. Get tired of seeing the same ship every time). But seeing a list dedicated to PS9+ guys? i havnt seen that in eons.

In my own local meta, Dengar/Fenn are basically the only PS9 i see commonly. I dont even see Vader anymore which is kinda funny lol.

I use to think "Captured Tie" was a reasonable enough upgrade. The possibility that it can be refreshed with a "Scavenger Crane" is so ridiculous. :wacko: Hopefully this combo is too costly to be competitive.

I can't wait to see someone's modded TIE fighter that has a giant "Scavenger Crane" hanging off the solar panel.

"Captured Tie" with "Scavenger Crane" is the first official TIE ugly <_<

Does this actually work ? - surely the "After you perform an attack..." part of the discard condition still [immediately] applies after the regeneration [since you've performed 'an attack' previously], so you immediately discard again...it's not 'after you perform another attack'...English language semantics is not my strong point, though, so perhaps someone with more than an English 'O'-level grade C could chime in & confirm/deny...or is this another faq required ? :unsure:

Cheers ;)

The 'once per opportunity' rule stops it triggering twice from the same attack.

Ah, forgot that one...thanks! ;)

If Ashoka had Recon Specialist, could she spend both focus tokens and perform 4 free actions?

Once per opportunity.

Regardless of how many focus she has, she "may spend 1 focus"

BoShek and captured TIE might be pretty fun too. just go around ramming people

Everything about this expansion just hurts my fluff heart! Easily the worst thing to hit the game, not because its OP, just so plain wrong.... Just go into any squadbuilder and look at that Tie option between all those rebel ships... gawd dammit FFG, gawd dammit!!!

Gameplay > fluff

As always

Hilarity always trumps silly adherence to who gives a crap

"Hey what the hell man, stay in formation"

"Sorry, i'm really new to the Tie Fighters"

Ram

"What the hell did you fly before this!!!!"

"Uhhhh.....Classified" <,<

Whenever I play around with imperial lists including a tie fighter, the option "title" which I am unable to select (unless you play as a rebel) makes me kinda sad.

Or that your Imperial pilots now will be reduced to degenerates that can't figure out why that standard (for something thats painted like a two dime Twilek dancer)Tie fighter keeps bombing them...
