Tie Silencer Dial

By Boom Owl, in X-Wing

Anyone think the silencer might have the following:

White or potentially even green Sloops or Tallon Rolls

There is precedent with Rey/Kanan having green sloops or really Kanan/Anything with a turret having a completely green dial.

Fits with the Defender x7 K turn cost "sorta". Would synergize well with the title. Doesnt have missiles or torpedos or cannons seemingly intentionally. And would improve the Silencers offense.

Might be completely broken if it were green with advanced sensors boost & barrel roll and not sure I like the semi boring flip every turn playstyle defenders get into....but still think its possible?

I think its time Imperials get their own take on Ello Nasty.

Really powerful white moves would at least give a bit more of an incentive not to just go all PTL all the time.

White S-loops are a possibility.

My guesses.

1 speed: White hards(maybe red). Green banks. Maybe a green straight.

2 speed: Green hards(confirmed), banks, and straight. Maybe a 2 sloop.

3 speed: green banks and straight. White hards. Definitely a 3 s-loop. Possibly white, green is highly doubtful, but we can dream.

4 speed: green straight. 4k turn.

5 speed: green straight, possibly white.

Well, they showed us the green turns, so we already know which maneuvre the ship is going to choose 90% of the time.

The law of Fel dictates it!

I think we'll discover that the ship is a little too good at turning. Green turns; red straights.

Gotta have at least a green 2 straight!

Or no straights at all, only all the green turns and banks.

that's a white sloop. if you start with a stress, you will end with a stress.

I actually think it will have all the moves.

All 5 1speed white

All 5 2speed green

All 5 3speed white, straight green (but it would be cool if the turns were green and nothing else)

4speed green, 5speed white

3sloop or troll, 4K probably all red

It is supposed to be hyper maneuverable so I expect it will be able to do it all.

Not sure that will matter but it will matter but it will make it fun to fly.

It's going to be nice, but it's no Scum release. I'm not expecting anything more dazzling than the Protectorate dial.

Considering the Protectorate dial is nearly identical to the TIE/fo dial, I sure hope that's not true. The First Order's Interceptor better have a far better dial than their run-of-the-mill TIE fighter.

I'm going to say, TIE Interceptor with a set of 3 Sloops. That is my guess, although it is surprisingly more beffear than the TIE Interceptor. It is closer to a TIE Defender than a 1storder shielded TIE Interceptor.

I'm actually hoping Interceptor dial with 2 sloops.

1 white sloops, just to be different!

And you think the JumpMaster dial is broken? :D

The problem is that all the maneuvers is too tightly spaced. The ambiguous selection rule is unavoidable, so your opponent will always get to pick its maneuver! This actually makes it the worst dial ever when your opponent dials 1 reverse bank off the board turn one.

So the reverse Tie Defender or the Nascar fighter then? :P

i agree with this statement. Although I feel it'll have talon rolls at either speed 1 or speed 3 as well.

That might make it worth the points. Might.

I want to see the dial that can fit all of those moves.

Considering each maneuver will have about 8 degrees worth of circumference available to it you're going to need a magnifying glass to set your dial. :-)

Are you shure that the right name would still be "dial"?

And now we know why the silencer comes in a big box.... they obviously couldn't fit the new size maneuver dial in a blister pack
