...under my shoe... er… wait, no. No, they don't even fit there.

You're gonna really make me regret asking you to ping me aren't you :D

Also I agree, I too am an X-Wing masochist and fly meme lists purely because I seek an outlet for my rage

Wedge at 55, devs confirmed to not be Krayts

Which I'm not sure if it's good or not actually

Good, but if they make Soontir >54 then I throw my shoe at them.

F to pay respects to wedge

actually, curious if he continues to be played as much. There's a chance he was like plasma torps - so obviously way better than everything else that he only looked average because literally everyone was playing him.

I don't believe it at all, but now we get to find out.

@Kieransi triple Ghost fits...

… in the closet with a stack of old towels and video camera.

Absolutely the case I think.

The beauty is we get to see who is right. I think Wedge sees some decrease in play, but that’s not a bad thing. This hopefully opens up a spot for more of the underused pilots, like all the I4’s. But the fact is he was part of most of the highest performing lists/ archetypes. And the one least likely to be subbed out. That says something.

Rekt. Scyks didn't get an inch.

Yeah, scum went down 1-2 points across the board on maybe half the ships. Not sure it was enough...guess we'll find out, but my instinct is that it's not enough.

Clarity, allegedly it's a good thing.

Meanwhile, TIE/fo dropped like 2 points each. In some ways, I'm not surprised. Scyks can add cannons and step beyond their 2-red-dice limitations. But still, wow.

Again, not quite across the board, since not a single Scyk was touched. I don't own much for Scum ships so that was kind of a key point I was hoping for. Oh well. Can't be angry, looks like a pretty good ace tax applied so maybe things got better by proxy.

Yeah, I had to modify my post...about half the ships got a reduction.

I feel like Scum needed the FO treatment...everything cut except the very best ships. They made it interesting enough to theorycraft, but my instinct is that it's still not enough to make the faction viable.

Ouch... just realized my Drea/Scyk list DIDN'T survive after all. Turrets went up by one, so it's sitting at 201 points with no room to cut further.

Time to start the chant up for January I guess

Funny, points drop and I'm playing with the janky stuff instead of looking at proven good ships

1st, I wish for the next podcast to be recorded from Zack's motorcycle, while he drives somewhere.

2nd, if my first wish is not granted, I wish that the next podcast be about Mario Tennis.
