Now THAT is healthy. I haven't seen Mux in SOOO long.

I see mux and play mux all the time, he is beast.

What do I want to see if I am trying to win?

1. Decimator (just melts to my style of list)

2. Ghost (sane as decimator)

3. Any 2 ship list (they don't have the damage or hitpoints to withstand my lists)

4. Biggs ( this is going to be controversial but when I see Biggs I feel reassured I can win, you can out fly the enemy list and then take it apart because it's generally designed around Biggs being useful)

What I like to see for fun.

1. Strickers

2. A-wings

3. Phantoms

Really anything with cool manoverabilty, really looking forward to that starviper title.

Lastly I want to echo someones earlier post, man do I hate mux! He just messed with all your plans. Stared putting him into scum lists on the regular now and I love him (in my lists), dorsal turret beast!

Are you sure? @Parakitor might cross your path

If I'm being honest, my favorite ship to see across from me is a kitted out Bwing. It usually is almost a third or more of my opponents list and I can almost always kill it in a round of shooting and usually not loose a ship. I fly swarmy Empire lists and I can usually eat Bwings alive.

Love the B-Wing model and have a lot of respect after two of them with HLC ate my Gozanti for breakfast!

Your premise is missing an important part:

If the majority opinion of the forums of TIE punishers and TIE bombers were that they were undercosted, and capable of combining upgrades resulting in overpowered combinations, and then they won Worlds, the forums would be flooded with demands for nerfs.

You missed the premise of the important point,

If it made the top cut then it must be overcosted. (according to the forums i.e. Biggs should be 30 points.)

Your statement ignoring my criticism of the X-wing community and using "meta balance" as a shield to your argument is exactly contributing to the hostility of the forums. You say you love the game, but you complain and fight and argue over what is "too good to be allowed" in X-wing. Your actions are a contradictions to your words.

I'm easy to please; just put down something that isn't copy/pasted from the top lists on X-wing Juggler, and I'm happy. As a bonus, make the list conform to a theme, but I already do that in a lot of casual play. Not only will I put a list of nothing but First Order together, but I'll even to try to keep the nameless guys in the same squadron; Omega, Zeta, etc.

Any time I see a Decimator and Ace across the table, I grin and plop down four Rebel ships. I love those games; they always come down to that one daring move by one player that either catches the turret or lets it escape.

God, I'm probably the only person alive who LIKED the Wave 5 meta.

Phantoms and strikers.

You're either a skilled pilot or a madman for flying either one.

I'll let you figure out which goes with which...
