Im thinking about participating in a tournament but after looking at the custom rules i think some of them make no sense and show a bias toward a specific faction...

The rules:

- All fully spoiled material is legal to play even if not released.

Some ships receive a cost discount:

3 less — T-65 X-wing (Even Biggs)
3 less — E-wing (even Corran)
3 less — U-wing
3 less — Khiraxz Fighter (The Vaksai title is not enough help for this ship as per the "rule maker")
1 less — TIE/FO Fighter

Some ships have their cost inflated:

3 more — Jumpmaster 5000 (In addition, the Segnor’s Loops for this ship are both red maneuvers.)
3 more — Lancer

Some nerfs:

Latts Razzi — When defending, you may remove 1 stress token
from the attacker to add 1 FOCUS result to your roll.”

Attanni Mindlink — This card is limited to 2 copies per squad.

Overclocked R4 — “During the Combat phase, when you spend a focus
token, if you are not stressed you may receive 1 stress token to
assign 1 focus token to your ship.”

JUMPMASTER DIAL (all Jumpmaster pilots) — The white Segnor’s Loop is a red maneuver.

My opinion on those rules:

- Advanced Slam remains unchanged despite the leaked FAQ. (first change i strongly disagree with)

- 3 points discount on Biggs would bring many rebel builds on the overpowered side (thats the second change i strongly disagree with)

- No Imperial ships discount (ex: Tie Punisher???) despite them underperforming.

- Does Corran Horn really need a 3pts discount? If he does, isnt there many more pilots/ship with the same power lvl (or lower) that would need a discount: ex Tie Striker or Tie Interceptor.

- Arent the multiple nerfs to scum material a bit too much? I'm the first one to say they are OP at the moment but piling all those changes together is a lot. For example adding 3 pts to Asajj and removing her (almost) free evade from Latts is too much.

What do you guys think?

no 3pts on biggs.

Yeah. Almost all the imperial stuff needs discount at this point... Tie ints, tie bombers, tie punishers are definitely around 2 or 3, firesprays?

Laughablythe vaksai isn't enough? Honeslt,y he doesnt know what hes talkingabout. And neither do most of us.

No. You can tell this guy he doesn't know what he's doing, and he should offer more discussion.

Scum honestly... thats about right, hilarious.

Maybe the thought is that Imperials are balanced well within themselves, which I would agree to. Most ships can be used in some way. They were pushed out by imbalanced Scum and 2-3 Rebel lists, so fixing those should bring imperials back. Again, I'd mostly agree with that. x7 and Palp are not extreme nerfs, rather they properly rebalanced the only things that were too strong for Imperials.

That doesn't mean that the Punisher and Firespray are good ships, of course. But whoever made these custom rules had several more oversights. And their focus is almost certainly Rebel-colored, so I'd also agree with you that there's a bias.

But it's custom rules - you best vote with your participation. Or you join for the fun of it and see what others come up with under these rules.

Hey, nice thing about house rules, they can do what they want. Personally, I think it's missing balance a bit; I'd pass. Biased? Well, was it created by men? Then yes. But hey, I know guys that would dig it, sooooo, yeah.

I'm entering, thanks for the reminder
