Boost is best reposition, since it increases your maximum angle/round to 135.

I find it funny that due to init-killing and underpriced aces/overpriced frailty of generics, the best way to use conventional fighters is to have your 6 TIE Fighters or 4 Strikers being escorted by a Lambda shuttle, and that Fighters escorting a shuttle is a good way to die.

That's a no from me dog. If Sloane could go on Tavson my opinion would switch 180.

It's a fair point tho - Whisper/Sloane with a TIE Swarm was pretty oppressive - now that's not an option it's fine IMO

Empire would like to formally offer Mr. Tavson dual citizenship.

Sloane in all of its forms (including Whisper) was pretty much fine for Extended. It was just feels bad man, but not significantly more feels bad man than any of the other nonsense buried in the meme format of legend.

The open beta version of extended had so many high init alpha strikes that it was often the only mechanic that made them have to thonk.

I wouldn't want it anywhere near muh hyperspace though. Let the generics stand on their own, make offense and defense terrible for everyone.

People still ***** about 5 ship rebels and 6 ship imperials regardless.

Iv had opponents say to my face "2.0 just isnt balanced...as they lose their ace on a turn 2 joust with 5 strikers".

Its not entirely just Sloane that they hate. Its watching their Movie Characters lose to lower or mid init ships that bothers them.

Even though those same pilots almost always have some amount of passive modification regardless.

Sloane is the new Palp and she is amazeballs.

As long as I'm not playing Hyperspace, shes in my list somewhere, even in non-swarm lists, due to her acting like Imperial Biggs allowing my closer to last longer and reach end-game, as well as making people take a step back and reconsider abusing all those linked actions, since I will punish them for it.

Isn’t this saying it’s not fine then?

Extended is a dumpster fire, and Sloane belongs in that dumpster?

Played a bunch of Sloane, both with and against. Scarier on paper than in reality, but is still good enough to consider playing in a variety of configurations. Will be a serious problem if Imperials get a sub-30 point crew carrier or a reliable way to hand out stress but isn't terrible to play against now.

This is the part I don’t like about her. Abusing? Huh. They’re built into a lot of ships.

She’s not terrible, but think she does a lot for her cost (rerolls, deal stress, crazy range).

I'd like to follow this up with saying 6 ship Imperial is bad. Jury's out if UXXYY with Leia is bad.

"Abusing" as in over-using something (see #2) without worrying about the negative effects of it, not that they are doing something "wrong".

Sloane makes people think twice about stressing themselves needlessly. If you want to do a lot of linked actions, you better make sure they are worth it because you will get punished for stressing yourself. It makes people think and plan better, or get spanked.

Stress is inherently a negative affect.

It’s an effective effect if it affects him in some negative way?
