3/4 pilots have made good showings recently. What else is there to fix?

Give Laetin an EPT then all will be well

I think Laetin with an EPT would be ridiculously good.

Yup. He would be killer with mindlink. Focus+Evade every round plus extra evade if he dodges. Give him HLC and throw him in a manaroo aces list. TL+focu+evade with 4 dice attack....i wanna cry....oh what might have been.

Actually, reference cards make far more sense than auto-include titles for rules-heavy ships.

X-Wing 2.0 should have each ship as a reference card, and then each pilot's card could indicate which ships that pilot can fly. This would easily allow cross-ship (and even cross-faction) pilots, and even better for design, any re-balancing of ships could involve changing the reference card (as well as non-auto-include upgrades), since reference cards are printed (and updated) in the FAQ.

Sorry but that is Attack Wing and believe me, you don't want that.

Also, take any TIE Fighter Pilot and put them in a X7 Defender and see how fun that gets.

Night Beast: Now it has focus and two evades on a green.

Dark Curse? Good luck.

Mauler? Enjoy your five dice.

Oooo...Omega Leader in a Phantom.

I'd be more afraid of Soontir in a Defender with X-7 title... lets see, 4 forward, free evade, action (we'll say TL), PTL a barrel roll (now stressed) and gain focus. 4 actions a round as long as he can clear his stress..... with as much evade as he always had. Might want engine though for the extra mobility or.... Tie 2 engines, for all the extra green.... (10 greens....) cost wise, not all that far away from Rex, has to be stressed to gain his focus (penalty - gain) whereas Braths ability spends to flip damage (more situational but also potentially fatal to the target).

Soontir in a Defender would be really iffy - he would have absolutely no means of turning round and still getting more than one action. There's a reason the only PTL defender pilot is Ryad...

The extra hull with the title does help, but still that is bringing it in line with all the other heavy hitters out there. The scyk has yet to become that modular customizable starfighter that it was meant to be.

Why is there so many "fixit" threads in the main forum? Fix this! Fix that!

Is it because you all think you are smarter than the designers of X-wing? or simply because you love the game and want to contribute? or is it because you are an attention-grabbing-smart-ass who just wants to get likes?

Please STOP fixing it. The game is great!!! NOW GO PLAY!!!

Nah, it's because the natural instinct for a lot of posters when they lose is not to say "what did I do wrong / how can I improve" but "omg that ship's rubbish, I'm not using it again until it's fixed"

Omega Leader in a phatom is hard to top, but the TL-need hinders it a bit and he would need to take VI over juke. He would perhaps be better (i.e. more broken) in a juke x7.defender.

Corran Horn in an outrider with HLC and sprinkles?

Vader would be pretty sweet in anything I guess, decimator and phantom come to mind.

I would hate Carnor jax in an x7 defender. No problem getting r1, and much sturdier than his current platform. would also combo very well with juke.

Omega Leader in a Phantom with VI and a FCS shoots at PS 10, and then you can't modify your dice on the return fire against a cloaked craft.

Vader in a Phantom is just pretty dang convinient. PS 11, and two actions? Heck yes.

Vader in a Defender is not a lot better.

You think Phantoms and Decimators are the only terrifying ones, though? Consider Omega Leader in a Decimator. With gunner.

There are ship models out there that are way below the power curve. I think there is a "Every Ship is Awesome" (ESIA) philosophy that everyone has so when there is a ship that no one takes or is never used when it is released people take note. However I also think that it might be impossible for the developers to hold "Every Ship is Awesome" or ESIA for much longer with the wave release system and the 2 waves + movie Tie-ins to keep that. Especially with the movie Tie-ins since they have to release with the movie while the other ships might be a little more flexible but will still have to be release twice a year. There are just too many ships being added. 10 new ships a year when that number used to only be 6 a year. That rate just makes ESIA impossible not to mention once the ship count hits a certian number there are just going to be those that land on the bottom of the pile.

Can we ban that video from the forums please?

Can we ban that video from the forums please?

Why. I didn't have time to watch it all but it seemed reasonable and applies to the conversation at hand. While it seemed to specifically be dealing with online video games, a lot of the design challenges it was addressing seem to be relevant for a game like X-Wing as well.

People keep posting it as "the answer" and it's really not.
