Even with the buff, they are still just X wings.

?

Shock!

Breaking news!

But yeah, that was the forecast. It's very lovely that they're cheaper and more manueverable, as it makes much more FUN regardless of competitive viability

But in a game where turrets are literally impossible to avoid (asteroid parking excepted) your only "counterplay" is dice and mods

And the x didn't get anything new there

The aces replace Jake at the new price point, but there was no Jake around to replace. The 5 X-Wing lists are good, but no one knows how to fly swarms anymore.
