This may have been answered before, but I haven't seen anything so I just wanted to ask/clarify...

Assumming you get the free evade action from the title as normal, you still can do your normal action after words, right? I've been seeing people say after your evade, you have to PTL then do your next action. But the rules, and the x wing wiki (I didn't see anything in the FAQ) say you can perform a free action and your normal action.

x7 does not prevent people from taking their normal action. Because of the nerf, you can trigger PTL off of getting the evade, but it really doesn't help anything as I know it, even hurting you by stealing you before your regular action. Better off to PTL from the regular action than the x7 free action.

Execute 3 maneuver, get free evade action. Perform action (e.g focus) PTL for barrel roll to dodge arc, or TL for fully modded shot.

Its still a **** good ship with 3 primary, 3 evade, 3 shield, and 3 hull. Oh and white K turns.

A3 E3 H3 S3 with 3 actions and green k turns with the Countess. All for 35 points. 36 points if you want all your banks green too.

Can't wait for the New Order Defender . . (pipe dream but can you imagine it??)

MkII is now auto-include if you fly with X7, you gain more way to have your free evade action.

I thought TIE MkII would be an auto include on most Defenders. Just curious, what mod would you take instead?

Stealth Device has seen use, some Engine Upgrade, but most often people go without. Even after the update, Defenders are still expensive. Worth it, but high cost compared to most small ships.

Before the nerf, none was a viable strat for initiative bid. Post nerf you are crazy not to take mkII. Also had a choice on Glaives of a cheap ept instead, now adaptability and mkII is about it.

Hull Upgrade or Stealth device for 3x Onyx Squadron/x7, they are really fun !

Ryad/x7/PTL/EU (39 pts) or Marek Steele/x7/Predator/EU (40 pts) : One ace, many tools of offence/defence

With Intensity I expect to play again my Defender with Engine Upgrade alongside some Tie Interceptor or Tie Striker !

@Arkanta974 Intensity seems like a really interesting new option on an x7 Defender.

Hull upgrade... that's cruel. I like it.
