The Fireball does seem ideally suited to mariokart. SLAM was always overpowered, but with everyone having it it meant a boring game with no shots. An all Fireball game sidesteps the secondissue, in that shooting while slamming is a risk/reward situation.

I thought that at first then realized this is so flavorful and different mechanically that I want to buy several and just have fun blowing up. No idea if good in tournament but at home with beer and chips this would be a great ship.

Gaslands is played with teams, where only one teammate has to cross the line. The tracks are usually gates, and going through the gates usually means you cross paths with other cars who can then shoot at you, even if they are a couple gates behind. Some cars will completely ignore the gates and just go hunt leaders.

Thus, a racer!

Apart from the fact that Resistance players can't take Torrents, this basically boils down to, "It's just a <different ship> with <different action> for <different cost> and a different dial."

JJ come on you know that ships are only what's on their cards!!!!!!!!
Haha, remember when everyone was asking why they'd take an X-Wing over an Kihraxz when it first came out??
"Because I'm not a scum player? maybe?" was the general consensus. After far too much discussion.
