Here is FFG's answer to basically designing heavy counters to every Imperial strength in the other factions: LETS MAKE THEM PLAY REBEL SHIPS!!!!!!!

First the rear-arc TIE, now a turreted fighter.......yay.......there, was.......great.....rejoicing.......blah.

Well faction shifting styles in the meta is nothing new. As I said before with Manaroo when it was (and some would say still is) on top.

See during wave 6 the factions advantages were designed as;

  • Rebels were synergistic
  • Imperials had bonus damage
  • Scum were control

However when Manaroo, Omega Leader and Miranda came out the advantages shifted factions.

  • Rebels were now bonus damage
  • Imperials were now control
  • Scum were now synergistic

So to say that making the Imperials play like Rebels is anti-Imperial is a fallacy since for the past year they have been playing like scum.

Reinforced Deflectors is what B-Wings need.

Only problem if you give it to B-wings you would also have to give it to Corran Horn as well. I made a thread on that and that was one of the replies in it.

Um.

No?

I'm not saying it should be a System, which I'm assuming you're trying to imply.

I'm saying it should be a modification applicable only to ships with 1 and 0 agility, possibly also small ship only.

Why would it have to go to Corran exactly?

I dig all your threads and posts, save this one; as we'll just disagree on this. IF Imperials were playing like Scum, it's the Scum pre-Jumpmaster as they are now the bottom-feeders in the power curve. You're mad here sir....simply mad.

....but hey, it's Friday, I'll raise a pint to your madness.

Make it a shot of tequila and I'll call it good. Just in case you forgot what day it is.

But yeah that exactly what I said. Imperials are playing like Scum before Wave 8. Scum are playing like Rebels, and Rebels are playing like imperials. A-wings are now the flankers/blockers/dodgers in the game.

No.

B-Wing title

You can equip large ship upgrades.

Done.

Just give Interceptors Agility 4 and nerf Advanced Slam.

Also give Vader a 2nd EPT and a 2nd mod slot.
