You got your gunboat: Shut up.

By KCDodger, in X-Wing

Seriously.

This is ridiculous. I don't even care if the complaints are warranted, this entire forum whinged on for an official Gunboat for LITERAL YEARS and now that the article detailing it comes out, you guys have the gall TO COMPLAIN!?

Holy crap, guys. There is seriously no pleasing you.

Woah. Who’s complaining? I’m thrilled. Almost everyone is thrilled. I know some of you get kicks hating on “the internet” and it’s often deserved. But not seeing it today.

Did you find two complaints and it bothered you?! Cap I usually appreciate your posts and community input, but buttercup, today you might need to take a break

What complaints? I think linked battery is overcosted, but everything else looks great.

hmm. It looks... great?

But I'm getting second thoughts, namely how expensive it is to outfit these things... 37 point major vynder?? erhhhh.

I dunno, I've seen a few and it just rattles me. Maybe I do need to take a break but ****, it just. It bugs me, the sky is always falling or like, something is wrong.

My only complaint is I might need 4 instead of the 2 I preordered

The only complaining I see is this thread.

You're not looking in the right places.

But it's not a truly x-wing moment if we don't have some complain or "sky falling again" or any grumpy posts to waste our hapiness ! ;)

I'm really happy to see this ship, not because some people have wait for a long time and have their faith rewarded but they give more tools for missiles and for empire !

Finally I can wait to slam missile ! Time to have some fun ! :)

GUNBOAT GUNBOAT GUNBOAT GUNBOAT GUNBOAT GUNBOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who is complaining? This is the GREATEST ship FFG has ever designed! It’s perfect!

except it’s not called GUNBOAT....................

It's... it's ok I guess? I'm not one of the people with a 3 foot long erection for the GUNNNNBBOAOOAoaATTTT but, in raw gameplay terms, I was expecting something a lot more exciting then this. That dial is still far too scared of SLAM, the missile title is weak, the pilot abilities are poor.

It's cheap, though, at least for the generics. But generic ships are awful usually.

I've not seen a really convincing build for them... yet.

I’m waiting too. I feel like the generics might have a shot at being a good use of the last 25ish points in a list or as backfield support to an Ace (if somehow they can leverage their way back into the meta)...

I’m gonna run four at the FLGS still, but not because I think the meta just got redefined (though I really hope it somehow just did).

Most of the people complaining aren't the same people who spent years advocating for it.

I know I'm not.

I'm happy enough to see it in the game, it's a fun ship, but I can't see it having any major competitive impact unless there are some SIGNIFICANT nerfs to the things that will currently just fong it.

Inorite :(

I'm more perplexed how we ended up with a Missile Boat expansion when the model is clearly something else.

I'm perplexed why they felt it necessary to add two extra ordnance slots on a ship with reload...

Okay here me out.... 5 nus. Cannon title. Tractor or jamming beam, your choice.

your opponent will never have agility again or they will never have a token again.

and you have 35 health on the board.

So you can load it up with cool weapons, of course!

The Missile Boat's ammunition supply was nearly inexhaustible. Why not let it be so, if you really want it to?

Reload makes it so.

Putting on extra slots just means you can make it more expensive to very limited benefit.

No, YOU shut up :P

you created yet another meant thread about people moaning. Not helpful. I submit that any and all Gunboat discussion should take place in the Gunboat thread.

It might surprise you to learn that there is more than one person on this forum, and those people don't always agree.

Look Lacky, I know you've been against the Gunboat since day one, but...

My only complaint is I don't have enough money to get two yet!
