Unpopular Opinion Thread

By Kyle Ren, in X-Wing

What opinions do you have that you don't think many other people share? I'll start:

TIE Silencers are actually good

Trajectory Simulator is fine in the game. Too many people unnecessarily believe it's terrible design and should never have been made. I disagree with those people.

First Order is fine.

Heroic is undercosted.

There’s nothing worth complaining about on these forums.

I'd say something about the v1, but I've probably beaten that horse to death already. :P

I don't consider 4-LOM, Palob or the Quadjumper to be NPEs at all, and certainly don't mind playing against them (didn't mind pre-nerf either). They are all very vulnerable ships that require careful flying both to use and to beat. I like that there's more to the game than efficiency swarms and arc-dodging aces. Now that the turrets of old have either been absorbed into the former (Y-Wings and Scurrgs) or the latter (Han and Rey), these ships, along with other odd stuff like generic Vipers and Phantoms, Inquisitors and curious mid init aces like Viktor, Countdown, Jake and Vynder, are almost the new third pillar of the game.

Low pilot skill is fine.

I hate everything, so everything must be fine.

Yuuzhan Vong are neat.

Only on Resistance Bombers.

Scum is the Hufflepuff faction.

A decently priced SNR is fine for the game.

Ion weapons were over nerfed in the 1.0 - 2.0 transition, though **** if I know how to make them more consistent at applying Ion tokens without making them too **** powerful...

Scum as a faction isn't very good.

(This might be popular for some.)

Of course not. The name alone applies that they are undesirable at some level. Clearly they're not the good guys... oh wait, not what you meant.

All of these I firmly believe! Even before Phil Horny won the Top 50 American Invitational (especially with a bidless version of aces on high, yikes!), I was and still am convinced that Kylo is the best as well as the most underrated force user. Hopefully I can represent the ship well this Saturday's Hyperspace Trial!

*and no, I will not netlist him like I did after he did so well last Adepticon. The lack of bad variance insurance in his list bears way too high a burden of execution on its user.

I liked 1.0 better than 2.0.

Ion Cannons are good, actually.

For dealing damage. Not Ion...

I mean good as in good weapons to use. Worth their points and all that.

Alternate thread title:

"I cast 'Summon Darth Meanie.'"

What are you thinking, man!!??

Strain is a bland mechanic and adds unesssary complexity to the game.

I'll back this up.

Furthermore, I'll distill 5 pages of response down to "Epic is the best version of the game."

I also think that Epic is the best version (closely followed by Heroes of the Aturi Cluster). However, I also much prefer 2nd edition to 1st!
