Resistance is the weakest faction?

By Flyingbrick, in X-Wing

Its official, Scum is now so unloved that they cant even keep their own post claiming they are the worst.

That pretty much goes for everyone. Scum even has a 4 point extra title tax to use trajectory simulator/genius on the only ship that can take them(so with those and skilled bombardier you're looking at 16 points, plus another 8 for two bomb upgrades, on a ship without reload). The other bomb expert is 74 points base and pays 4 points title tax for reload, can't trajectory or genius.

1 of 2 ships. Brobots have both the Device and Sensor slot. Our only white reload bomber is the second one you listed, though if someone isn't wedded to tossing them way out and sideways the title can go on a Bounty Hunter.

The red rotate and boost in ResFalcon is fine imo. (Unlike red rotate on the stupid Jump)

I want to see turrets and large ships more limited in their movement choices, and there's already plenty. And thankfully you already have a bunch of coordinate-while-red, title, Leia, Korr for fixing stress. No, definitely the red rotate is right here.

The ships themselves though, could easily use a 3 point reduction, and things like Leia. hmmm. probably could go down to 12. Korr Sella I feel like probably down to 4. If we want to seriously buff the Falcon, you could take the Title down a few points.

Thing with the red rotate on the resistance falcon is their good ol Title lets you perform them and boosts while under a certain amount of stress

So, Probably a non-issue

Is Poe really not an arc dodger when he’s geared up with R4 astro to clear stress? Can double reposition that way (or more expensive build can use bb/bb8 to do it in another step) and even with sfoils closed he doesn’t lose a die if he gets bullseye.

You won’t be able to use BB unit with Poe, not without having denied yourself the use of his ability the previous turn.

That’s my issue with him, he doesn’t feel like an ace when his ability hampers every turn. I personally prefer flying Nien.

Honestly I think I’d rather have the 1st addition Poe.

How so? You can proc Poe’s pilot ability after the BB ability before the blue move, thus clearing stress and allowing you to take a standard action.

Oh right, a 77+ point brobot can launch two bombs per game. I did however say both trajectory and genius, and brobots can't have genius, only trajectory. On the flip side Y-wing can have genius but not trajectory, and does have a (red) reload.

I have considered doing a twin y-wing stealth bomber list, with vizago cikatro on a quadrijet bouncing the cloaking device around so the y-wings grab a charge each and permacloak the whole match, just fly around and bomb(without genius). The pair of them are 80 points(39 and 41), plus the 4 points on top of the quadrijet(probably 33 point unkar plutt) to enable the shenanigans. Cloak, swap, cloak, swap. They could be 2 points cheaper but I'd rather use cybernetics than dms. 83 points left to grab another ship or two(which could be a bare minimum Emon bomber loadout, but should probably be something like a bounty hunter with perceptive co-pilot, proton bombs, and proximity mines on unkar plutt).

If you were stress the previous turn you cannot take actions. So you cannot use the BB ability. You do not clear the stress until after the maneuver has been completed.

🤨 In what @ScummyRebel is outlining you aren't stressed from the previous turn and use Poe's ability to chain off of BB-8's pre-blue maneuver Boost or Barrel Roll action.

🤔 And what I was outlining was that you were.
