Your Favorite Terrible Ship

By Jabberwock150, in X-Wing

Lambda shuttle. Though I'm a Palp spamming scrub

Starviper is still the best, and it finally won't be terrible once Guns for Hire is out. So instead I'll say, Boba Fett in the Firespray with bomblet generator is the best he's ever been. Sadly his best still leaves him in the upper half of tier 2. Not terrible, but Fett needs more powa.

The Firespray

I like flying the u wing or the attack shuttle.

My avatar gives it away. I like all the pilots, even the generics

TIE interceptors. No, not Soontir Fel and Carnor Jax, though I love them. I'm talking about Lt. Lorrir, Fel's Wrath, and Alpha Sq. Pilots. I know they're bad, I just can't stop flying them

Okay, so I couldn't stop flying them until the TIE striker emerged. I want to fly low-PS TIE interceptors, but TIE strikers are more fun and more competitive. I feel kind of like a traitor to my avatar.

You... Field Fel's Wrath unironically...?

I know. I have a problem. I'll show myself out now.

EDIT: Picture of one of my matches during the Team Covenant Open. Y'know, Kyle Katarn once said, "Your generic TIE grunt is just plain suicidal. And the TIE Defender jockey is bloodthirsty. But the TIE Interceptor pilot, he's suicidal and bloodthirsty. When you see a squad of those maniacs flying your way, you'd better hope your hyperdrive is operational." So very true.

The legendary 5 Alpha Squadron list! Wait.. That guy is not PS1...

Oh Lord...

TIE Defenders! Of course! They haven't always been Top Dog, but I've always liked them. :)

Also, if I can stoop low enough to play scum :) , StarVipers. With Advanced Sensors. ALWAYS. There is absolutely nothing more fun than out-manouevreing a PS 9 ace... With PS 5 Guri! :D

Right? I was looking at that thinking he had a good shot

Then I saw the pilot skills

Toss-up between the HWK and the Punisher for me. Probably the Punisher because it's so much more flexible. AC/LWF Punishers are one of my favorite fillers when expecting crazy alpha strikes, and I've affectionately nicknamed my Cutlass "the Nibble Monster".

Besides, busting out two kitted up Punishers and nothing else is CRAZY good fun.

I'm a real sucker for underdog ships and so I fell in love with the Punisher especially Deathrain. I've read the forums, I accept that it's bad and will probably always be bad but as long as I get to roll up to a ship with enhanced scopes and drop some clustermines into their faces and then barrel roll away laughing then I don't care.

Lambda, HWK, Firespray

Nashtah Pup. A 6pts Z-95. Whats not to like?

Firespray (Boba Fett!) and Khirazx, It was the ship that makes me decide to do Scum when I entered in this game, even before Guns for Hire, it is still a ship I enjoy flying. Talonbane Cobra is still being amazing.

And also B-Wings. But I gave up on them a whole ago.

I wouldn't call B-wings terrible. I would just call them non-meta compliant. B-wings work awesome in those pile in cluster-furballs in the center with a half a dozen ships bumping into each other. Just that isn't the thing and it hasn't been that way since Wave 3.

U-Wing, Upsilon, X-Wing...

Starviper. Soooo looking forward to Guns for Hire!

What ships do you love to fly that really aren't that great?

The TIE/LN and the Incom T-65, you know; the ships that this game is supposed to be about.

My favorite underdog ship has to be the uggo tuggo itself, the Quadjumper.

"Oi, we're going in for a space battle, wanna come?"

"Sure thing, boss, lemme fire up my tugboat..."

HWK, U-Wing, A-Wing.

U-wing; Hwk; Non-Biggs 65's.

Starvipers and Kithrax probably. Guns For Hire cannot come soon enough. I also really love using janky Keyan Farlander builders, like Sot+Adv.Sensors or that hilarious PTL+Lando (Crew) build that worked off a nearby Jan Ors. NOBODY expects to see a B-Wing with 3 Evade tokens.
