I have noticed an increasing number of "fix-this-game" threads on the main forum lately. Somehow we seem to have gone from fix-this ship (usually the x-wing) to more fix this "game-mechanics" threads. Some threads of excellent quality, others with "less-thought-through" suggestions. And while I enjoy reading about interesting views on the game and reading about game-mechanics, it can also get a little too much and start to "clutter up" the main forum.

Somehow the Gunboat enthusiasts have mainly kept their posts into a single gunboat thread, which pops up from time to time, this is nice. I myself have posted there from time to time petitioning for a gunboat. Imagine the main forum littered with "I want the Gunboat" threads, yes I like the gunboat, but not to see the main forum littered with them.

The same for the STAR WARS Rebels thread, there are also a single thread where you can read about and comment on the series, and discuss suggestions for ships or characters you would like to see in X-wing. Very nice. Imagine all kinds of "Sabine did this" and "Kanan did that" threads, not very nice. A single thread, where everything is nicely collected, very nice.

I would like to see the same for all these "fix this" "fix-that" threads.

Of course, game-mechanics is much more complex, and the meta changes following releases and FAQ changes. So what dominating the meta in wave 3 is not necessarily dominating the meta today after the release of wave 10.

So, therefore I have started this thread. Named: "State of X-wing [Wave 10]: Fix this game! (Post here)" where we can post and discuss ALL the game elements we suggest will make this game better from where we are standing today.

Then once Wave 11, or the C-ROC arrives, someone else could start a thread there, following the same naming convention, on what is wrong with the game, if any (as the introduction of Jabba is sure to bring balance to the game...)

Great idea.

Except for anybody who thinks "Ey!, I don't had an idea for fix the game, I had THE idea to fix the game, and it surely deserve to lead his own thread to be discussed with exclusivity".
Or anybody who thinks "Ey!, I don't found a ship that broke the game, I found THE ship that totaly broke the game to an unplayable level, and it surely deserve to lead his own thread to be known by everybody".

I would bet that a notable percentage of the poster of this kind of threads match in this profile. But ey, if you get a few o them joining in this thread ... you have already won something...

Nvm

So, what are we allowed to post about in the main forum these days?

No, that's HERESY!

I look at the forum normative and you can post about nearly everything.

But not all the replies will be "I have the same opinnion as you, good"

An elegant idea, for a more civilised age.

Yes we clearly need YET ANOTHER topic about the game being broken and ideas how to fix it - 10 in a week is clearly not enough!

FFG give Us Gunboat

The rebel gunboat fixes the (right now loudest shouting) rebel faction

... no.

Ok, how bout dis:

require each faction to take at least one ship off of a 'never used' list. For rebels it could be any T-65 that's not Biggs or any E-wing not Horn. Imps would get Punishers and any non-Soontir Squints. Scummies would take Scyks, Khyraxz or Starvipers.
