Today we wrap up our attempt at ranking the X-Wing ships with a look at Scum.
Categories
- Health
- Shields*1.5+Hull
- This was done to account for shields being more valuable than hull
- Shields*1.5+Hull
- Capabilities
- Attack value + Defense Value + Arc Bonus + Actions + Upgrades + Special
- Arc Bonus: +1 for nonstandard arc +2 for Primary Weapon Turret
- Actions: Raw count
- Upgrades:
- One point for upgrades (System, Tech, Crew, Astromech, Turret, Title*)
- Half a point for all ordnance (Bomb, Torpedo, Missile) or cannon upgrades.
- Special: +1 if the ship has access to special ship only upgrades or limited access upgrades
- Examples: Autothrusters or Space Tug Tractor Array
- Attack value + Defense Value + Arc Bonus + Actions + Upgrades + Special
- Dial
- (# of Maneuvers beyond base + #of Green+ # of Specials) – # of Red Maneuvers
- Base Maneuvers
- Every ship (so far) has all 2-speed maneuvers, 3 Straight and 3 Bank. These are ignored and all maneuvers beyond these are counted.
- Greens
- More greens the better the dial.
- Specials means
- Green Hard turns
- White K-turn/T-rolls/S-loops
- Repositioning action
- Base Maneuvers
- (# of Maneuvers beyond base + #of Green+ # of Specials) – # of Red Maneuvers
- Cost
- 50-Median Cost/2
- Since no (current) pilot costs more than 50 points, subtracting median cost from 50 gives cheaper ships more value.
- Dividing by 2 keeps the number from skewing things too heavily in its favor
- Negative point titles are factored in.
- 50-Median Cost/2
