So no. It’s a HLC Major Vynder with an engine upgrade and vectored thrusters (so about 46 points). That’s nasty, using most unified ship cost equations, it comes in at a little over 50 points.... and I can think of quite a few 50 point builds that can take something like this on.

The stat line we're talking about is:

4/3/5/3

Action bar: boost, barrel roll, evade, target lock, focus

Upgrade bar: Missile, System

The only saving grace here is that the higher PS pilots don't have very good abilities.

I'll say it again: at any fair price, you won't be seeing other ships on the table.

The title will say "rebels only" just to baffle us imperial players. -_-

I’m starting to wonder if our X-Wing fix might come in a Rebels pack with Sabines Tie Defender! I’d be fine with that but would still like a Scarif pack.

We all want Heroes of Scarif, but it’s unlikely it will happen... money talks, and the lesser box office haul for Rogue One means that Disney will never understand that it’s easily one of the four best Star Wars movies ever, and FFG will never understand that us X-Wing fans would’ve bought way more Rogue One ships than all this Episode VII and VIII stuff.

It's not Sabine's, it's Ezra's Defender. And it was his for only a few minutes before being destroyed.

Oh yeah.

I'm totally sure Disney is 100% ignorant of Rogue One's popularity with fans.

For sure.

Yep.

We’ll get pilot cards for both.

And a special Mod giving the Defender a Bomb slot

Rebels Only

The more I think about it, the more I realize that the TIE Defender Elite is basically the TIE Silencer.

Title - Stolen TIE (Rebel only) Your ship gains crew slot. An Imperial ship at range 1 may use an action to destroy your ship.

The kill switch.

This title should be required for stolen TIEs going forward.
