Pretty sure it's true, head-simming it. Fenn's meaningless because they don't really care about gun damage ... and besides, he could die in one bombing run. I came >< close to playing Expertise-Rey + 38-point bombing Warden in the NorCal Regional.

(BTW, by way of illustration, I enjoyed playing -- and playing against -- bombing K-wings. I never played Triple-Ks, but I liked Double-K + Ahsoka, and I even liked getting my *** handed to me the time I tried Double-K + U-wing.)

This is the closest thing I could think of....am I on the right track?

Unfortunately, the difference between 8 HP and 9 HP is actually really important against a ship that shoots four hyper-accurate TLT shots.

Man, here's a sad statement: I'd rather play against ghost fenn than triple K.

Is that actually true? I don't even know, honestly.

Absolutely true for me. At least with Ghost/Fenn there's some interaction in the planning phase, I'm wondering what he's going to dial and he's wondering what i'm going to dial. But those pre-FAQ Ks literally don't care what I dial in, they're going to move, slam, drop a cluster, Sabine, all before I do anything on a given turn. And on the off chance they do bother to care... they have intel agent.

One side of the table is basically playing solo X-wing, since I have literally no decisions to make here I may as well just go take a bathroom break and you let me know how many of my ships are dead when I come back, thanks.

I get it now.

Well, no. One side of the table might be playing solo X-Wing this turn, but that's why bombing is interesting to me: you're not losing Soontir this turn; you lost Soontir two turns ago, when you decided 45-degrees was an oblique enough approach.

And even beyond that, I'm not bitter about the idea of low-PS K-wings being weakened a little bit. I'm bitter about them being utterly nuked, without any consideration of less drastic fixes. (Like, for example, to the SLAM action itself, which is problematic, whether people want to acknowledge it or not.)

Even without intel, since they move first they used to be able to dial a move, slam, then drop the cluster either directly on you or in front of you all before you moved. Your dial was just not relevant much of the time, you were getting hit by a cluster mine and that was that.

Hey @Biophysical here's a question I'm questioning my sanity on:

Rexler Brath — TIE Defender 37
Expertise 4
Engine Upgrade 4
TIE/x7 -2

I think we're going to have to file this under you wanting to play a different game than I do. One of the aspects I like about the game is having an overarching plan but then due to my opponents moves and dice variance having to constantly revise that plan, or even scrap it and come up with a new one, turn to turn. Forcing only one side to plan far in advance and fly in a very specific manner is placing too much of the burden of execution on that side. Lists and mechanics that lead to that sort of imbalanced burden, I feel, make the game worse.

As for the slam nerf... I... don't care? I'm not saying there maybe weren't some better more elegant fixes that could have been made to slam, but if the complaint is that it hit triple K too hard then you're looking for sympathy in the wrong place since I think the mechanics underlying that list were just bad game design. But yeah, I will agree that slam is problematic. It's always been and continues to be an issue with Miranda and the only reason it's not too good on boats is that they require arc, actions, and their high PS pilots are overcosted (or fairly costed given how good slam is...). All the slam ships are just a poorly thought through upgrade card away from being super broken.

Getting Palpatine crew finally into my X-Wing arsenal. I'm so in on trying all the Palp aces types for a long time. Even really considering Soontir Fel for an upcoming Regional for funs!

I agree with this statement.

That seems like it would be comparatively fun to play against. Did that version of K-Wings have any TLT? If not wouldnt it basically just be blocking setup without Regen?

Don't you want the title on the y's for double tap? With flight assist they can't shoot out of arc. May as well maximize your offence.
