They're currently the only thing people see do well on MetaWing and adopt/emulate. They're the Rebel beef of Resistance in that they're easy to fly relative to other stuff in the faction because of the rotating arc. L'ulo is individually more of a linchpin than A-Wings as a whole, but there hasn't been a ton of experimentation with the bombers, falcons or half the T-70s.

I think sleeping on the transport and/or the new crew is a mistake. The introduction of (presumably cheap?) ship-native coordinate has always had a impact on a faction....and some of the crew seem points-dependent broken.

I think haveing a cheap C3P0 carrier and then putting PZ-4C0 on the falcon for the coordinate to0 range infinity will definally change things.

I can't figure out the reaction rate throttling at all. Sometimes it seems like they give you one an hour or something, and sometimes it seems like they all batch together and you get X/day.

Why am I randomly able to like one's person posts and not others? The world may never know.

I have tried most of the non-I5 T-70’s, all of the Resistance Falcons and most of the bombers. The lower I X-wings are just too expensive and the dial on the Resistance Falcon is awful. The red 4 forward and loss of the K turn hurt it sooo much. I there are a lot of interesting crew in the transport but they won’t do a whole lot of good if the rest of the faction is garbage.

I agree that a lot of the T-70s might be a little too expensive. I also agree the falcon dial is pretty restrictive. But, I feel fairly confident that Rey will be made relevant immediately by the inclusion of Leia crew. The "It's The Resistance" condition may be more than a meme. Holdo is dumb.

The Resistance faction was never garbage, some (most?) of the folks playing it just migrated over to Republic or the ease of Rebel beef. I suspect the N-1 is the current "the sky is falling, OP PLZ NERF" of wave 4, but Resistance will be revealed to be the true winner (and we all lose?). Time will tell.

I feel exactly the same way ... but it's not because of reaction throttling.

Dangerous, but I'll be cautiously optimistic until someone shows me exactly the glue that's a problem.

As someone who has been a vocal voice regarding not raising the RZ-2s by much if at all outside of Lulo, the recently revealed crew that act as force multipliers have caused me to reverse course and agree that they need some cost adjustments. A platform that good for that cheap was necessary given the circumstances, but that new Transport is going to open up some new builds. While I'll lament internally the death of 5A with all the named pilots, it likely won't even be close to the most powerful build Resistance has to offer anyway.

Things that are about to be significantly cheaper probably.

The transport (assuming it's not crazy expensive) seems like a great fit for resistance, they're an ace heavy faction and will really like what it brings

If those get cheaper, do Jedi get cheaper? The generic one is 39 and there aren't too many huge differences between the chassis.

We all sure as **** know you aren't taking Jedi without 7b. 7b on a TAP would make the thing usable.

I don’t agree with you there. Rey has more problems than just the dial. She dies so fast if you play her to proc her ability and Finn but if you ignore her ability then she can’t kite as well as all the other Falcons because she can’t take Trick shot.

I also don’t think Resistance is garbage currently but if FFG listens to all the people calling for 6+ point increases to the A-wings than they might be.

Give Stress tokens to Nein

Or just generally being a little **** trailing behind the fight, swapping Poe's stress for a reinforce.

I fear this thing will be the pre-nerf escape craft again.

We'll agree to disagree.

But if the case cost goes down, that could also lower the over cost of a Jedi w/7B.

Does 'transferring' stress count as 'gaining' for Nien's ability?

Yes. When a token is transferred, one ship removes the token and the other ship gains it.

I'm not so high on using Holdo to reinforce Poe. It's when you engage so without Swarm Tactics I5+ gets entirely around it. the Nien thing is a good point...

I do feel that this thing runs the risk of being an escape craft situation, but that's separate from holdo.

It's when you engage so unless Swarm Tactics or Han Solo, or your opponent brought lower initiative pilots than your chosen crew carrier, it's not so bad. I guess nobody brings low initiative generics though...

I'm not sure Holdo is busted with current pilot choices, I just get the feeling she'll return later and have us wondering what we missed.

Holdo allows you to pull virtually any negative token to yourself from your important ships, on top of trading increased efficency to them, and it has Reinforce. Tractor, Ion, etc, become useless unlesd you are willing to kill what is basically a reinforced B-wing.

Get ready- Take Insubordinate insurgent, coordinate, reinforce/focus, swap tokens, and have the 'clear all stress dude' fix your double-stressed status.

It's going to look like Cheap Escape pod, but Holdo adds more control and the new chassis means unlike the pod, it doesn't go up in flames if you concentrate fire on it.

Also Leia is going to be dial-casual cancer unless her point cost starts with '2'

HOW DARE YOU NOT SHARE MY OBVIOUSLY CORRECT OPINION?!?!?

is that better? 😂

I find amazing we still expect whoever is in charge of pricing, and designing, xwing things to know what he's doing
