Outmaneuver OS-1 Arsenal

By RufusDaMan, in X-Wing

This I really like. The Missileboat title with outmaneuver is very likely to attack from out of arc with speed 3 slams, and with the frequency of low agility ships with turrets who don't care about arc alignment, this is a serious threat.

Nym and Myranda lose their 1 agility, making them susceptible to attacks like Advanced Homing Missiles, especially since they might not even have to spend the TL. With their ability to maintain target locks intact, even a very lightly packed OS1 can slam reload every turn and attack against low agility ships, dealing them 1 facedown damage.

You think you've brought back a dead card? I've been using it for months on Ryad, and I considered it on a SLAM machine.

This is the first I heard AHM deals a facedown damage card...

I don't claim such things :) I just like the interaction.

You made me doubt myself, so I double checked. Even better :D

Same. That's why people always give me funny looks when I walk in with terrible Wave III or IV cards...

Come to think of it, that may not be because of the cards :P

If only Stele was a pilot on the FUNBOAT. Having a Crit of a time.

Well, given the popularity of the gunboat... The most famous Gunboat pilot shouldn't be far off in an ace pack :)

Perhaps Stele will be the Imperial Sabine? Nope that is Sabine.

Rho 2? The jerk who keeps destroying the targets I've taken the time to Ion for capture?!

Oh, wait. That would be the most infamous.

Shouldn't that read "Rebel or Scum Only"? Or are there some ships that count as both Rebel and Scum?

Ah, ok. I guess I'm focusing more on my Imperial ships at the moment, so I haven't yet purchased her, nor have I encountered anyone else playing her yet.

@ficklegreendice is making a joke about how many Sabines there are and the saltiness of Imperial players about "Rebel or Scum" only cards ;)

At least, I believe that is the intent.

I know about the TIE Fighter with the hideous paint job. What else does she have?

She's a pilot for the Attack Shuttle, and there's a scum version of her with a different pilot ability piloting the Shadowcaster (although I've never seen her played). Not to mention her ubiquitous crew card.

Although Zeb will now match her for number of ships with the release of the Phantom II, and he has the same pilot ability in all of them. All hail Zeb-wing!

Ah, I see.

Maybe it's just that I come from a PC game background and have only recently gotten into the miniatures, but a pilot only flying three different ships doesn't seem like all that much to me! XD

She has the TIE Fighter with the _amazing_ paint job.

Oh? Is that one coming out in a future wave?

It didn't quite work as well as I wanted it to. Lightweight Frame had yet to be released, and Primed Thrusters was probably a better idea for that build. Nevertheless, it was _interesting_, and I think could be a viable idea.
