I have so many games to play as-is, I can't get another system! Right? Right?!

Price point and no real grownup Star Destroyers gave me trepidation. I'll try it, I swear.

I still need to try it!

Autothrusters are a band-aid to the turret problem, we wouldn't need them otherwise.

The problem with 3PO and turrets are similar: they eliminate choice, have no risk and are bad for the game. X-Wing is a game of prediction and piloting, turrets (and PS9 decloaks) ignore that.

I can live with this. Now we just need a stiff nerf to 3PO and turrets.

These are good lessons for any game.

I saw similar things going on at our X-Wing Store Championships. Playing 5 75 minute games with maybe 15 minutes between rounds plus another 3 for top 8 can drain your mental batteries rather quickly. My first opponent in top 8 said as much, he was exhausted after playing all day. Decision fatigue.

I deal with it by relaxing between rounds. Chat people up, talk anything but the game, let your brain decompress. Beyond that, stay hydrated and energized with water and snacks. Good snacks like nuts and granola give you sustained energy and won't make you wired then tired like sugary junk.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, take a moment and remember that you're there to have fun! We can lose sight of that in the heat of battle, but we're all there for a day or weekend of playing games.

I dunno, I'll take Psydreads over Knights, 2++ rerollable, O'vestastar, Centstar, Eldar summoning Daemons, Skyblight, etc.

HPs were a good idea, but the pendulum just swung too hard the other way. Nowadays, single shot low AP weapons are virtually useless compared to medium S, high RoF weaponry.

Sure, that was the meme of the time, but we both know that wasn't actually the truth. Loganwing, Blood Rodeo, hybrid builds, etc were all very much viable.

On its worst day, the imbalances of 5th are nothing to the imbalances of today.
