Slave 1 errata

By Phoenix5454, in X-Wing

Yup another one of these.

Slave 1 title errata: your upgrade bar gains the torpedo slot and system slot. You may treat 1 speed banks as 1 speed white hard turns . Points : 0

Seems fair and may make Boba Scum actually playable slightly. Discuss.

changed hard banks to turns

I used to think that it actually did add a system. Don't know where I got that, but I would love it if it did.

Scum Boba never really had problems being competitive. Lets not brake him any further.

But Imp Boba isn't.

And plus I'm not sure it would be as much help to Scum Boba as Imp Boba.

Picture Imp Boba with Advanced Sensors, it could be viable, with pretty good unpredictability, especially if you put Engine on.

break scum Boba? I never see him or any Firespray for that matter being played.

I doubt a system slot and the ability to do 1 speed white hard banks would break him, the YT-2400 and YT-1300 can do 1 speed hard white banks there is no reason that the highly modified Slave 1 (not all Firesprays) shouldn't be able to do it too and take a systems upgrade as well.

It would give him more of a chance to get into range one, which is what he wants.

I guess the question is whether we want scumboba (I think I'll call him that from now on :)) and impboba to be reletively similar in power.

well imp firesprays technically shouldn't exist as they came into existence pre-scum when the atmosphere of the game was different.

BUT I would say that buffing both Boba's wouldn't be a bad thing at all. It's a small buff and it makes sense as it falls under the Slave 1 title not something for all Firesprays just 1 per game.

What is a hard bank? :P

Making the argument that we shouldn't have impboba requires that we have some way to "hire scum", because there is no dought that Boba worked with Vader, in fact, he was often called Vader's right hand man.

I guess it just always bothered me that all the Slave 1 title did was add a torp slot. In the same line of thought the falcon title (evade action) bothers me too because thats all it does. I would ideally like to see any titles like these from the beginning of the game updated to reflect how they would look if they came out in a current wave.

I really wish that the yt 1300 all had the same stats, and that it was the title that changed them.

whoa, that would be awesome if the imperials had a way to hire a single named scum pilot for their list. I have no idea how that would work but that would be awesome.

it really should. only the Falcon and Slave 1 title equips should be able to have 1 hard turns as those ships are highly modified but not all Firesprays and YT-1300s were highly modified. but alas we must work with what is there...

First page, most of the way down.

I really like that Hired Mercenary custom card. I would argue that maybe it should be a different type of card (crew / condition card maybe?) unless it must be delpoyed on the Scum ship thats being fielded then that makes sense because it ties up their EP making it still better to field the same ship as the Scum faction not a Rebel or Imp using the upgrade but I like the overall idea and it makes thematic sense.

Yeah, elite doesn't really make sense to me, but it has the right gist in my opinion.

sorry i edited my original reply as you responded. I had more thoughts on it as I typed lol

You might even have the side affect of having other friendly ships in the original faction get stress if they are at range one of one of the hired ships, because of the scene in ep 5 with the bounty hunters.

That would be a interesting game liability of having the "hired gun" :D

However, if you got, like, a lancer, or an alpha-strike jump, it wouldn't be much of a disadvantage, because you could just have it race ahead.
