Welcome to Episode 65, and in this episode, we wish we were Emperor Palpatine over FFG. Then we talk about why its a silly notion to believe why this could or would never happen.
The Kessel Run Episode LXV "This is Just a Tribute"
I listen to this and it makes me feel like I'm listening to an early episode of the Shuttle Tydirium podcast. I swear, its all the stuff I complained about a couple years ago, but different builds.
Dammit, now I'm going to have to dig through and play some Tenacious D. Earworm has been embedded!
This is just a tribute...to best podcast in the world!

Well at least they talked about X-wing more than L5R.
If I was king for a day, Complete overhaul.
- Set up for a model stays cards rotate system, new models each wave with some update packs bring old waves up to speed and has a way of putting an expiration date on OP pilot/upgrade combos.
-
Different attack values that often include multiple attacks
- A-wings would be 2 by 2 (sort of what they are now)
- TIE Fighters would be 1 attack by 3 dice simulating the faster firing laser cannons
- X-wing would have a 2 by 2 or a 1 by 4 attack
- Tie Interceptors would be 2 by 3 (so TLT with more damage and no turret)
- Y-wings would have their forward s cannon attack followed by their 3 ion cannon turret. If they use their turret they don't get the forward cannon attack.
- B-wings would be a 1 by 3 cannon and 1 by 3 ion attack
- YT-1300 would be a 1 by 4 turret attack. Title would give a second attack but must attack a different ship
- Firespray would have a 3 by 3 attack with a 1 by 4 attack aux arc
- Shuttle would be a 2 by 4 attack with a 1 by 2 attack aux arc
- All Out of Arc Attacks require to spend a focus token (aka blaster turret)
- Ion attacks would cancel actions and be more integral to the ship instead of turret/cannon system
- Proton torpedoes and missiles would require target lock but not spending it.
- TL tokens don't spend but is you attack a ship that is not locked when you have a blue TL token you lose that lock
- More Shield reign but more secondary weapons that ignore or brake down shields (Proton torpedoes work like proton bombs for all damage)
- TIE Fighters will now be 6 points but the 8 ship limit would still be there. TIE Interceptors 12 points.
- S-foils that keep an action locked so you get the action but lose your attack. (X-wings and Star Vipers get evade, B-wings get barrel roll, ARC gets boost)
- Cloaking token moves at the start of combat so you can't make the move before the attack. You either move defensively or you expose yourself for an attack.
- Scum would be with wave 1
- focus/evade tokens would work the same (single die roll) but there would be token combos (double evade, focus evade) as actions.
But lets face it that is never going to happen, at least not right now.

I think a lot of the issues are fundamental and slowly became apparent over time. Not everyone has the same tolerance level for these bad elements, so folks got out off earlier, now, or haven't yet. It is interesting seeing things that people have been talking about since wave 4 and getting a new perspective on it as time goes on.

NOOOOOOO MY PLAN IS DOOMED TO FAILURE!
That's OK, I'll play with the other 5% to 20% of the population that cares. And I'm a math nerd so I want to do it anyway. 
Also. I am not a nice person! Chad and I murdered your HWK in Hunger games with extreme prejudice! Remember Nova 2015!

Never forget
Ok to add some real content to this thread...here's my recipe for "Summer Beer"
1 can frozen margarita mix dumped into pitcher
Fill that can with Citrus flavored vodka and dump into pitcher
5 cans of light beer of your choice.
Stir.
2 cans as suggested in the podcast is a bit under'beered for my elderly state.

Not all heroes wear capes
Great episode, loved the idea for a FFG Gaming Convention as a substitute for Worlds.
