Just wondering if the Biggs nerf opens the door for a T-65 buff and maybe that Heroes of Scarif pack as the missing SKU!

Hopefully!

I imagine that's why the Nerf is so harsh, yes.

I'd really hope so, otherwise you are unlikely to see any T-65's on the table

Yes. The boost retrofit from the movie does to.

Listen. For 3 points more you have the T-70 which has boost, an extra shield, tech upgrade, and a cool talon roll. Yet, nobody flies them! So you could "retrofit" the T-65 for about 9-10 more points of value and people still wouldn't fly them.

I agree it's sad that the game is called X-wing, but the ship is junk in this game. The only real fix is making this game 2.0. So, instead of adding 9-10 points in a 100pt list to make a ship great, make the point total greater and the upgrades less of an impact. I guess this would be a big nerf to the game? Wait... they make big nerfs every few months. ...sooooooooo....

I doubt a T-65 buff, but it may open another door...

Given the ship has been bad pretty much since the game launched and FFG hasn't considered that to be a problem thus far.... I really, really doubt it.

its the fact we want to fly those iconic X-Wing pilots and iconic craft. Poe does see play, so does Jess. But we want Wedge!

Agreed. I flew Wedge at an OT tournament a few weeks ago. He was complete junk. He needs a better dial, boost, more defence, etc, etc....LOL

Agreed. It started out bad! Fixing it would take WAY too much.

"X-Wing title, Wedge only: add + 3 to your agility because your the boss"

I saw a rare Wedge/Han list at an OT recently as well... poor guy ran into both TIE swarms...

Oi, that's not how value works in this game. The bwing is not worth 12 more points than the x (14, 3 shields and vectored).

You're calculating via the IMMENSELY (and intentionally) over costed modifications. They're overcosted so as not to be autoinclude.

The T70 is nowhere near worth 3 points over the normal x for the very marginal benefits it provides. Only Poe, with his ability interacting with Regen + thrusters + high ps, and Jess (holy **** so many reroll) are worth a ****.

This is important to understanding:

a.) Why the t70 actually sucks (so as not to use it as a barometer or to exclude it from potential fixes)

B.) How to fix the xwing (give it amazing, persistent modifiers like Poe and Jess have!)

LMAO! His tears were salty. I should know. I tasted them.

The Devs have repeatedly stated that they are aware X-Wings are considered weak and that they have an idea for a fix. They said when Integrated Astromech came out that they didn't think it was "the fix."

So yes, the Biggs nerf has opened a door wide enough to fly a Liberty-class cruiser through. I'm excited by what this could mean for the X-Wing chassis.

t65 title:

Quad cannons: Title: t65 X wing only

Attack: [Focus]: 2 die range 2-3

After performing this attack you may perform this attack against a ship at range 1 of the defender. After this you may not perform another attack this round.

To clarify: this would mean you could attack the same ship twice.
