Why rebel y wing and not the tie bombar first?????

Its_not_a_moon

Come on, I know they said the tie bomber is coming in q&a but seriously, rebels already had gotten so much love in fleet and were the top dogs for a long long time(and still are in some arena's) is empire like lost in the unknown region or something, where is like half of their fleet?
Makes empire great again capital games

I agree that the Empire needs some ship love like the Tie Bomber. However, lets take a moment and appreciate that we finally did get the Rebel Y-Wing which has been a much requested ship.

Still missing the B-Wing and A-Wing

They haven't even released enough ships to create a full synergy fleet for Malevolence...and we needed another rebel.

Whereas Rebels may have a lot of ships but the majority of them require gearing 2 or 3 crew members and most of those crew members are weak in squad play by current standards, making them unappealing even when they were the meta.

The pilotless Y-Wing may help Rebels to stay relevant without catapulting them back to meta status. It also suggests a potential to add a similar pilotless ship to each of the other.major factions. A Tie Bomber for example.

Geos, Hyena and Vulture, that' sall you need.

Hey come on, at least we have SOME Sign of life, let's not **** on that. We don't know, maybe it's the start of more ESB themed ships?

U would go that low to lower ur expectations to that lvl?? CG can do better.

Kyno

honestly,

rebels are at least viable, this ship might make them more so....to some extent.

empire doesnt' cut it against the current Negotiator or Mal lineup. 1 ship would not have changed that.

... and here we have empire with the most iconic ships, the biggest the baddest the most intimidating ship that terrorized the galaxy can beat absolutely nothing,

Malevolence? First Order dreadnaught? Imperial Super Star Destroyer?

tarkin and thrawn star destroyers are absolutely a joke in this game, oh sorry they can beat endurance

No, just a plain old Imperial class Star Destroyer, the red shirts of the Imperial Fleet. About as accurate as a Stormtrooper and as intimidating as a flatulent Jawa.

Also rebels have bad characters as ship pilots???? Let see what empire got to deal with here, gar saxon, super commando, royal guard, tie pilot, I would much rather have a maxed out rouge one, Phoenix, wedge or biggs over any of these characters.

Gar Lapdog and ISC don't need high gear levels to RI and heal. Same for Royal Guard and his boss Palpatine can carry the Palpmobile, gear-wise.

Tie Pilot works fine on an Empire GAC B-squad with his boss Tarkin, his other boss Thrawn, his boss's boss Vader and his Grand Poobah, Palpy.

Relic Phoenix can take out a relic FO team if they dont have hux and lobster man, I'm sure rouge one can pull something similar, now show me what gar saxon can do

Who the heck relics Hera, Zeb, Kanan & Chopper?!? Ezra maybe, Sabine mayyyybe buy the rest are just dead weight in squads. And you conveniently neglect to mention that each of their ships require gearing 3 crew members.

Rogue One are a bit more useful but it takes 5 pilots for 2 ships and 3 of them need gearing to g11+ including Scariff Rebel Carbanti-hog. And the squad you end up with is mediocre at best.

And the key Rebel ship, the one which actually enables the fleet to work at a decent level is a Legendary with Legendary raid reward pilots, requiring a bunch of additional toons & ships to acquire.

So try actually powering up a full Rebel fleet sometime and then cry me a river about your poor Imperial fleet.

I'm thrilled w/ this ship. As stated, Rebels have nice ships, but the crew requirements are THE WORST of any faction, hell, they are worse than every other faction combined. Seriously, 3+3+3+2+2+1+1 = 17 Crew for 7 Ships. WTH.

That said, I look forward to seeing more pilotless ships.
For the empire I'd love to see a TIE Bomber (Support/Tank), TIE Defender (Support/Tank), and TIE Interceptor.
Either Crewless or with some new concept synergy where TIE Pilot can be used for any/all of them.

GR is solid in fleet now obviously but something like a Crewless - N1 Naboo Fighter would allow those ships to spread out over Negotiator & Endurance more. Tossing in a V-Wing (Crewless) would really balance it out at 5 each then.

Clearly a Resistance version of the Y-Wing would help that faction out a ton.
That & that odd shuttle Leia had in TFA would bring them to 5 at least.
