Wow.

You're really, really not using Vader's Target Lock ability to its fullest? What, focus is your target action with Vader? You need to do that, when you can barrel roll and TL or focus to your heart's content? For real?

Come on dude. Even I can fly an x1.

Don't be so sad.

i had locks all the time, the thing is Dash rolls more attack dice than you, and you can't hide in his doughnut hole so he's going to shoot you, and i did my very best in multiple games to avoid arcs but without boost Vader sometimes has to just take it and when he does all the Focus or Force in the world can't change those blanks

Sounds like you need to make an example of your dice, more than there's a problem with the game.

You really can't rely on Vader to be your primary force, not in a bullheaded fashion. Vader is a flanker, straight up.

HWK can pick up Evade for 2 points with Debris Gambit, and Engine Upgrade for 3 points may as well be stapled onto the card.

I'm tracking the costs. You're still paying for the upgrades on a ship that gets pretty expensive pretty fast. I love what they've done to the HWK, and it (or Moldy Crow) probably need to go up in points a bit, but they're not broken. They're very good.

Vader's 3 force tokens alone are substantially stronger than the single evade. I wish Vader had boost also, but I can't imagine how hard he'd be to pin down with it, referencing Supernatural Reflexes and I6.
