Pet Peeve incomming 2,0 "nametags"

By Dwing, in X-Wing

Whisper... Soft spoken slayer.... What is up with these lame descriptions under all the pilot names? Darth Vaders better be "Angry Dad".

Sabine: pilot of everything.

Biggs Darklighter: Ahhhhh!

I think they are hilarious :D Cheese like that really makes games more enjoyable for my game group. We also love Shadespires flavour-texts (especially Arnulfs specific upgrade, utterly useless, but oh so over the top).

Most of the pilots have call-signs. Luke's is Red Five for example.

They have to put "the RAC" under Chirpy

All the HWK pilots better be ‘Living the Dream’ or else I’m out :P

Jek Porkins: he can hold it ?

It's a subtitle like in Destiny - it means you can get "Joe Gunsworth: Mega Ace" and "Joe Gunsworth: Terrible Scrub" as two separate unique pilots with different costs and abilities.

It's just cleaner design and solves the "old new Han" or "new old Han" problems.

I had not thought of that, I actually saw it as very unclean and unnessasary design but allright, they have a valid reason to excist. Now can we just have something less lame for some of them.... Except for Talonbane Cobra, I expect him to have the lamest tag of all time!

I'm not a wild fan, but it's not affecting me much, and yeah, it means it's a lot easier to distinguish between different versions of a pilot.

Personally I think they're most likely just to be fluff without any mechanical effect but... they're not harming anything.

Old Young Han and New Old Han, soon to be joined with New younger Han.

or Maybe something like this

OT Han: Loveable Rogue and Scoundrel

TFA Han: Veteran Smuggler

Solo Story Han: Not Harrison Ford

Solo Han: Shoots first, Asks Questions Later.

I'm like, 80% sure that's goign to be his arc in the film.

Its should appeal to custom alt art makers.... Ohh the salt / humor this card space will contain.

I'm going to need a label printer with thin labels...

Quickdraw - "Ackbar Slayer"

Quickdraw - "Ackbar Murderer”

I'm a fan of the fluff. It makes it more personable and reminds me of the franchise that I grew up loving.

Chewbacca: Rrraaauuughhghh

Chewbacca (TFA): Rrrrauuauaugh

Chewbacca (Solo): NOo what are you doing with that vibroknife

Dangar should have been "Toilet Paper Head"

Kylo Ren: Whiny manchild

OK yeah I like these a lot more now, so much potential for jokes on 3P alt arts.

Oh my, Frost is an 'Icy Professional'? FFG may just have beaten GW for silliest flavour text. This is glorious!
