Make them a problem again! Imagine a PTL, Outmaneuver, Predator Soontir! Woe upon the Usurper Fenn Rau!

this is a joke, you guys

The real joke is that even if that title was real, Soontir would still die to a single bomb run by Miranda. The only effect of the title would be that you'd suffer an even larger point loss when it happens.

I mean, you say that, but I don't think this would actually WORK to make high PS Squints viable. It doesn't make them any cheaper or much tougher, though it does make them hit a lot harder. PTL/VI/Juke on Fel would be awesome, but he would lose his second mod and he'd still die to an average roll on cluster mines with Sabine, and would still only be modifying his attack dice with a focus token.

You forgot the "you can equip an additional title" and the obligatory -3 squad-points. Now people will treat this as an serious suggestion.

To be fair, dying easily to stuff is just as much part of the canon as the hitting like a truck. Its only fair to make the game match the strengths as well as the weaknesses

As bomb and auto damage become more of a thing, low health ships will suffer as this is their counter. Any sort of nerf or skill that lowers the effectiveness of bombs makes them less desirable and lets be honest here, they have only just now started to become used.

That being said, this could help the Empire:

Officer Training - Title - 0 points
Imperial / First Order Only
Small ship only
Your upgrade bar gains the EPT upgrade slot.

This fixes a lot of the Interceptors/TIES that desperately need an EPT and leads us to:

Hazard Perception ( I wanted to use Lightning Reflexes but that was already taken ) 1 point EPT
During the "roll attack dice" step for secondary weapons, you may re-roll any hit or critical hit results rolled.

This specifically targets cluster and proximity mines. Doesn't give them total immunity to them but certainly gives them a chance.

It doesn't target cluster and proximity mines *at all*, they're not secondary weapons. Secondary weapons are things which have an Attack: header, a range, and a red dice value printed ont he card.

Better wording would be 'once per round when you roll attack dice, you may reroll one hit, crit, or eye result. If you do this when attacking, it happens during the 'attacker modifies attack dice' step.'

Then your ept isn't completely dead when bombs aren't on the board, whilst doing roughly what you meant it to.

Let's all just appreciate a time when Soontir Fel isn't auto loaded into every Imperial squad for just a little bit longer.

I'd put this EPT on anything using Autoblaster. Get outta here [kaboom]s...

This is a dream, not a joke.....man, some of you guys are just plain cruel; and you woke me up to boot.

Yup, it would be a solid pick for that.

To be fair there were swarms of Interceptors, but the ship costs too much to make an effective swarm. By your own canon logic, the Interceptor should be cheap enough to be plentiful.

The problem doesn't lie in the interceptor's vulnerability to bombs - they were always vulnerable to them. In fact, in my very first game of my very first X-wing tournament I lost Soontir to a proximity mine dropped right on top of me. Imagine my surprise as a new player, when my main combatant was taken off the board without achieving anything at all (granted, I had awful luck with dice on that prox mine roll). While Sabine made bombs even more deadly to interceptors, I think the biggest change is that she made them effective versus pretty much everything else. Before Sabine, bombs were luxury upgrades. Extra tools that would sometimes come in handy but definitely not something you could build your entire list around. Someone who attempted something like triple K-wings or 52 point Miranda would be at too much of a disadvantage against too many lists to be considered competitive, even if he could beat imperial aces quite easily. Now this is no longer the case and low HP high-value ships suffer the most.

I would do horrible, horrible things to make that title a reality. Like filthy, unspeakable things.

Why do people want to put this on soontier?
