Rogue One presents opprotunity, Biggs just got a nerf, now the Rebellion at least has a trick to bypass him. I think that the fix is coming, I just do not know what it could be... plus I'm still holding out that Expertise will be amazing on high PS X-Wings.

Don't hold your breath too much on expertise. One of the problems with high ps x wing pilots is how expensive they are for how fragile they are. Throwing 4 point ept's on them won't help in the long run.

....

But no, expertise wont be great on xs unless one comes packaged with a gunner ability or some way to exacerbate defensive focus

The platform is too fragile for such an expensive upgrade, and as a jouster itll have to stress itself

Better off with predator

I still feel there's a great deal of raw sweep potential. The ship hits hard and having that slight boost to action economy. As for the four point thing, better than say opprotunist, I have used that before. Still I see the problem, they are fragile, I am just thinking a few allied ships that can take the shots would help. Problem is Wes wants VI. So that leaves Luke and Wedge. I like Luke as a team protector though.

Is there any true 'fix' for the X-Wing though?

The reality is it was one of the two ships to first be released for the game. It's functionality was polar to the TIE fighter regarding movement, pilots and upgrades. It was a foundation used to build the game upon, digging that out may undermine a whole lot.

Waves that have come after have added new movements, actions and attacks. For a ship with limited movement and minimal actions can we expect it to be hauled up from its current standing? I mean, look at fan made proposals. Title cards. Two mod slots. Multiple EPTs. Flip cards. None of that can really refresh the ship at its core. Not like a thematic and balanced upgrade that came for the TIE defender (an upgrade I'm a fan of, despite not being an Imperial pilot).

Honestly, I can't think of anything that will add that flavour short of re-releasing it with a better dial and more actions, but that's already been done with the T-70's and they're still finding their feet. The X-Wing still comes with some of the best pilots in the game, maybe we just have to move on?

balanced upgrade that came for the TIE defender

Can't stop laughing, that was a good one.

What's the matter? Been defeated by a few Defenders?

After several years of embarrassment at the fact that the ship this game is named after has been a nearly constant source of disappointment, FFG have announced a fix.

They will continually rename the game to whatever the current hotrness in the meta is.

Anyone up for a game of the Star Wars TIE Defender miniatures game?

Sure! Reminds me an awful lot of another game I used to play, Star Wars: Soontir Fel .
