Hi all,

I'm newer to the game and have been putting some lists together. I've read a lot of people talk generally about dial strength, but haven't really seen any specifics. Obviously, more maneuvers mean greater flexibility, which is always a good thing. But is there a consensus on maneuver heirarchy?

Like, is a t-roll better than a ln s-loop? Are these better than a k-turn? Is a 1-turns or 1-banks stronger than the other? Is a 1 turn better than a 3 turn?

Of course, the topline answer here is "it depends on ship and obstacle placement". But generally?? If you had to choose the top 3 dials, which would they be and why? Thanks so much!

I'm sorry man, but there is no answer to this question. I love the B-Wing dial and kinda hate the A-Wing dial, despite the fact that the A-Wing has a "good" dial and the B-Wing doesn't. And it goes on and on like that.

Generally more manouvers is better, and more blue/less red is better.

But there is no better manouvers.

Much comes down to personally preference. For example I highly value 1 hard turns much more over 3 hard turns but many think completely opposite to me.

And depending on the ship and what you want to do with it the manouvers have different value. If a ship is likely to never be stressed blue manouvers go down in value.

Alot comes down to feel.

Thanks for the responses. Makes sense!

I agree to the above, it also depends on the arrangement of the fire arcs

For example the Firespray lost its 3 hard and gained a 1 hard. With the 3 hard you could jump over the other ships and use the rear arc, which you can't do with the 1 hard. In the other hand the 1 hard let's you beastly turn on the spot. For a ship without a tear arc but with access to the barrel roll, this may be just the opposite

The color distribution also influences the usage of red actions and also the way to fly a ship. For example the shadow caster has all 3 forward maneuvers and they are all blue. So there is a tendency to play it really fast.
