Defender Player Problems

Defender Player Problems

It DID annoy me when Veterans came out and I couldn't fly a delta and vessery at the same time without buying another base defender model since they're on the same cardboard :(. Same with the alphas in Imperial Aces.

(PS: I don't plan to buy more than 1 imperial conversion kit. And no, I didn't actually buy 6 defenders, I got 2 from a grab bag)

We do have 6 defenders I bought 1 new and 2 used, along with 2 imperial veterans to get them mostly outfitted. Then my son went and won his own imperial veterans the day I bought the 2 used ones. They were all used in epic once: that Gozanti got royally owned!

I'm debating a preorder exactly for the 2 deck reason, since core sets were never on sale in Canada (I would have loved that Target $12 deal...), but it feels silly when I don't quite plan on going out and playing competitively anymore.

Since I do HAVE 6, I used 5 of them for an escalation tournament on sunday, figured I mighta as well use as many as I can at least once.

Oh, Defenders are still quite good - I meant more the people that magically got better when x7 came out, then magically got worse when it was nerfed - because it didn't reward good manuevering.

Dialing in a 1-bank with an x7 Defender was usually very rewarding.

It truly is. We had a top upgrade ban tournament recently and 3 of us decided triple defenders was the least nerfed list in that format (rightly). We actually got to face each other (deservedly?), which was super interesting, to see who could make it work with the slightly less OP x7 title. Slow-speeding people works, even if you warn them it's likely to happen.

do we have any idea who is play testing 2.0. because if it's the same people who tested the jump and the scurrg.... we might be screwed.

I'm just being a jerk. I think it's going to be awesome. And I just want to blame Ryan Farmer.

Done.

I’ve got 5 Defenders but only because I’ve broken 3 defender pegs and didn’t give up and magnetize until breaking that third one.

There's always going to be that one guy who runs 8 Punishers in Epic.

I broke the peg on 1 of the defendres I brought to escalation on sunday, so I actually got to run all 6 that I owned since I swapped that one out for the 6th one that was already magnetized (the 6th was my second red defender, was only running the 1 red with the rest standard before that since I had ryad and 4 deltas)

I hope punishers are good in 2.0 I own 4. Had 5 at one point!

Do you think I'll be ok with my four TIE Bombers, or do I need to go buy a fifth?

You can run five at once, so forum logic dictates that you have no less than five.

And that you must buy an entire conversion kit just for the 1 Bomber you have extra or else FFG will shoot your dog in front of you.

It's TRUE! Ffg is hiring miranda players to do it, they reached out to me, but I told them I'm not about that life anymore

As we all know, someone who will play Miranda will do absolutely anything.

And if he has 8 nickels, he won't even need to buy the Imperial conversion pack.

This was my favorite part of running TIE/D in the x7 meta. No one expected me to go slow.

TIE/D's and GUNBOATS are both traitors to the Empire. They love to slowly roll into combat like Rebel scum.

If you want fanatical suicide ships you need to join up with the First Order in 2.0

How DARE you say that about the glorious GUNBOAT?! My one-forward to victory totally had an arc (that I cared about).

I always enjoyed throwing prockets on them - you’d get players that needed to read the card because they’d never seen it on something with 2 agi and had to convince themselves it was four red dice.
