Ventress Opinion

By skeeve3000, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So what is the opinion on using the Shadowcaster title with Ventress at PS 6? It seems in most games I don't get the full potential with her since she is usually the lowest pilot skill in my list. The barrel roll/boost action can come in handy but only comes into play a small part of the time since you don't get to use it on Large base ships.

Should probably post this on the squad list forum. This isn't a question about rules.

The question asked is strategy related, and that belongs in another subforum. The post still requires some rules clarification.

The barrel roll and boost from Tractor Beam tokens are not actions. This is an important distinction because a ship that barrel rolls or boosts because of a Tractor Beam can still perform boost and barrel roll actions in the same round.

Depends on your squad. It's at its most useful when Ventress is shooting first.
