With the exception of blinded pilot these all just seem like forms of control to me. Control should absolutely be a valid form of gameplay. I know it can be a bit frustrating at times but thats kind of the point of throwing a monkey wrench into someones plans.

As far as NPE goes thats very much an arbitrary thing thats going to differ from person to person. In my case I don't find things to be an NPE unless there are no counters to something or if it is something that is out of either players control. Both of which I don't think exist in X-wing right now.

The worst part about Zuckuss is the little bastard always lets my opponent re-roll into Evades, but never me. So if I'm using him he's more of a "Yep!"

Also, Palpatine is a semi-Nope because he manipulates the normal "I roll attack dice, you roll defense dice, I hit" into "Nope! No damage."

I feel like 'nope' kind of effects are fine as long as they're appropriately costed. If you've paid a heavy price for that ability, then fine, but if it cost 1 point...

Membah when dem gaddam space marines would setback in heavy cover and on gaddam overwatch?!?!

DAT Wuzzah NPE!!!

STAY OUT MY STAR WARS DAMYAHS!

Forgetting Omega Leader here. Biggest Nope in the game. But seriously none of this stuff is game breaking. If you are losing against the same thing try a different tactic.

Roll (or reroll) dice agency is not

Depending on how you define NPE (in the sense of player agency), you could even argue that playing against an opponent is NPE. You can't control what they do! Or if you could, that would be NPE for them! Therefore the only true game will be the one you play in meditation against yourself.
