Does anyone know of a good Teroch replacement for Boba and Torani? Loving the the two as I kill time waiting for new FO toys, but Terry just dies to opposing R1 natties despite his faceoff and focus. Getting some Fenngaroo vibes of loving a high-aggro ace until I find myself lamenting and sighing upon the lost points on an inevitable blankout.

But Teroch!

I think he's fantastic and fits that squad nicely. Chance is always gonna bite somewhere and I generally find his averagely unlucky trades acceptable. I do enjoy the risk though.

Do you have room in your play to take less risks with him?

Although going aggressive and taking the heat of the other 2 seems the way here....

Footage of Sun Fac tractoring out of a bump *********** to escape, then to ensnare a friendly Grievous for the big play.

Or Supernat Anakin, idk

Can I do a slight AT.C Nitpick?

When you go to a specific pilot's page, you lose the summary stats for that ship. It'd be nice to have the overall numbers from the main list repeated on the individual pilot page.

That soontir thread feels like it deserves a mention in the next episode.

Which is totally coming soon.

Right guys? Guys?

The fact that there are worse offenders does not change the fact that a lesser offender still is an offender.

It is, but with holidays, and points next week, we mostly just took the time to break.

We'll be back... Soon™.

Yeah, I agree, I really want to put them in the column headers for the new tables for easy comparison after you click a pilot/upgrade. Any other good places you can think that would be better?

That's about it.

If we're doing ATC feature requests @Brunas: I have one that's more questionable.

The upgrades tab tells us how good a certain upgrade is. But missing is the option of no upgrade in that slot. It might make everything very ugly and I don't have a good solution for you. Would "[None] - Modification" etc for all upgrades that have a slot be an option?

E.g. Vader has 442 squads, and 375 used afterburners, 3 used something else. That leaves 64 and I would like to know whether those 64 did better than afterburners. Same with sensors, where just 34 didn't take any, or the 271 without a force power.

(e: you can of course put the answer together: if the overall win % is 52.85 and afterburners has 50.85, then not-afterburners is better. But it is more complicated for sensors, and I'm quite sure it's easier to add it as row than to guess/calculate it based on all the given numbers)

It's a thing of beauty!

Factions that are allowed to have a little 10-20+ pt Bid Trip Ace:

  • Empire

Factions that are not allowed to have 10-20+ pt Bid Trip Ace:

  • Rebels
  • Republic
  • Resistance
  • Scum
  • First Order
  • Separatists

I mean, the most extreme version has a 44pt bid. I'd argue that there are worse lists being played than Soontir 5thBroDuchess GInq

never played against a thing like this... and to me is clearly a nonsense list.

all that bid for who? 2 initiative 5 pilots?

bid doesn't work like this

What do you think was my point? That it's a good list people should play right now at current points? I'm actually confused

It seems pretty simple to me. It's an upside versus downside thing. Some people think the fact that Soontir can be very fragile, exemplified by the fact that he can "die in 1 shot," means that his cost should be discounted from the value he can offer when played well.

I mean, I've seen people fly soontir towards the same corner of the board my eight ships are going for. I've seen someone choose to not dodge 2 arcs "so he won't be stressed next turn.". Some of us can be so deep into the competitive mindset as to be appalled that someone would want to fly soontir like a fang fighter, and to price him accordingly. They're not wrong to enjoy that, but they're definitely wrong to want points to be balanced around it.

that having the possibility of bidding so deep doesen't mean that imperials aces are undercosted.

also if they are the only that can do it

bidding is usefull but how many time do you use a so deep bid?

i prefere filling it like duncan howard instead
