New FAQ CROC update

By FlashBackJack, in X-Wing

why don't we think of it this way instead:

The Gozanti and C-ROC are built on the same frame. This screw up that resulted in the firing arc on the C-ROC being the division of Fore and Aft vs a blue line like the Gozanti makes the C-ROC different in another way from the Gozanti (besides actions and the upgrade bar). While definitely a screw up on FFG's part a larger aft section almost makes sense on the C-ROC with all those engines back there :D

i'm enthused that other people see why i'm complaining about this 'quick fix'
to clarify
i'm not an occasional player
I have a ridiculous armada of Rebel, Imperial and Scum ships (just ask my wife)
i buy enough of each ship type to be able to play a 100pt game with just that ship
(this means that, yes i have 16 z-95's) (yes i have a problem 8) )
i also have a solid collection of Epic ships (1 tantive IV, 2 gr75, 2 gozanti, 2 imperial raiders + 1 C-ROCK of $h1t)
I would've bought 2 C-ROC's but for this problem so i could customize one for a Broken Horn title
for me it's not about who needs to fix it ( its FFG by the way)
it's about the game i love to play and how a simple error is pushed back upon the players
rather than FFG holding it's hands up and fixing it to maintain their quality and respect
they have the way to replace this already, their customer support if fantastic
i just wish they would do the right thing

I also have tons of ships and prefer epic to standard play. I prefer that they do the cheap errata that has minimal gameplay effect and spend money on producing more ships. It was the right business decision as opposed to losing unnecessary money on principal. Some people are going to be unhappy no matter what they do so they might as well make the best business decision.

By that logic the CR-90 should have a massive aft section. :P

And now the rules insert has the incorrect rules, which is just as assine. One of those 2 compoments will ALWAYS be wrong now, without a reprint. So why not fix the base. Given the fuzzy math listed above, they have 10,000 bases printed, of which 99.999% will go unused. Send somebody to Kinko's and make 100 bases for those who want them.

Heh, even more fuzzy math when 0.001% of 10,000 are used. So somewhere in the world someone uses a tenth of his base plate? :)

If only rulers and blue pens were widely available...
