Title has changed! Makes some comments seem misplaced! 😜

Let me see if I can describe my mirth when Vader and Soontir both shoot my Ewing with only 2 dice...

or don’t and shoot my reinforced VCX leaving my Es double modded and force on my 4-die cannon.....

The only people that will respond to such a prompt must not like having the best dial in the game. Shame.

Having the E's both engage with TL+Focus and the one that needs it an evade seems pretty swanky when you then proceed to nuke something with two proton torps. You can even tear off the crackshots/engine for a bid as your local meta requires. Alternatively you can also drop the cracks to turn kyle into Luke, so season to taste.

Just saying.... E’s or not....

KANAN

IS

FUN

Granted.... only been casual, but I have yet to lose!

vs a few: imp aces, droids, scum salad, republic stuff, fo efficiency stuff, and something else can’t think

It’s such a fun little control mechanic ... Adv Sens, Dorsal and force make the ghost so dang maneuverable.

Hmmm no Ewing’s (tho I do love them)

Yeah it’s kinda my favorite too.

Ok... just can’t stay away from Kanan! And I’ve recently gotten into playing Fat Luke.

Basically Kanan’s only job is getting Luke to the endgame. Sense Arvel = happiness.

Fat Bois!

I have so many ideas to try with the Ghost, but there’s just something I have a really hard time with... the zero agility scares me off of it every time. Don’t Droid Swarms and TIE Swarms just curb-stomp a VCX-100? It seems like they ought to, mathematically speaking.

If you look at it this way you may feel better....

Statistically:

Reinforce = 1 Evade

3 greens not modded = 1 evade

2 greens with focus = 1 evade

Reinforce ships plus high hull just equals a guaranteed number of rounds. There’s no lucky 3 evades but there’s also no unlucky 3 blanks. It’s consistent.

Against 7 shots, Ghost reinforced will likely fair better than an awing with only one focus.
