| 00:13 | <@Reiv> | VORNICUS |
| 00:13 | <@Reiv> | Holy shit dude check this out http://xwingcalculator.netau.net/diceuip.html |
| 00:13 | <~Vornicus> | oh gosh |
| 00:13 | <~Vornicus> | Oh solid |
| 00:13 | <~Vornicus> | and that's chart.js |

| 00:40 | <@Reiv> | Pretty fantastic isn't it |
| 00:49 | < catadroid> | yes! |
| 00:49 | < catadroid> | (what is? :p) |
| 00:56 | <@Reiv> | catadroid: http://xwingcalculator.netau.net/diceuip.html |
| 00:56 | <~Vornicus> | it's a thing that tells you the odds |
| 00:56 | <~Vornicus> | even if you're han solo |
| 00:56 | <@Reiv> | Let's not forget that IN SOVIET X-WING, *YOU* TELL *3CPO* THE ODDS |
| 00:57 | <@Reiv> | (And if you get your guess right, you get a bonus~) |
| 01:06 | < catadroid> | o: |
| 01:22 | | thalass|demoknight is now known as Thalass |
| 01:24 | <@Reiv> | ("Guess the number of evades you're about to roll. If you get it right, you get an extra one.") |
| 01:25 | <@Reiv> | (Hilarity ensued when people started flying 1-die ships (Possible range: 0-1) and guessing 'one'.) |
| 01:25 | <@Reiv> | (Even more hilarity ensued when people figured out they could guess 'none'.) |
| 01:26 | <@Reiv> | (Now your ship could play guranteed-evade, or double-or-nothing when on your last hitpoint!) |
| 01:26 | < Derakon> | Can you fly a 0-die ship? |
| 01:27 | < McMartin> | Yes. |
| 01:27 | <@Reiv> | As of recently, absolutely. |
| 01:27 | < McMartin> | One of the most successful lists lately has been pairing a humongous ship with zero evade dice with a preposterously nimble escort fighter. |
| 01:28 | < McMartin> | "Chirafel" may have in fact come up in various discussions here. |
| 01:28 | <@Reiv> | Because then you're damned if you do, damned if you don't |
| 01:28 | < Derakon> | ...because, what, most fleets are biased towards either spiking damage while being vulnerable, or being able to accurately snipe weak ships, but not both? |
| 01:28 | < McMartin> | The escort fighter in question has been known to be able to single-handedly wipe out entire fleets of mook-class fighters. |
| 01:28 | <@Reiv> | You need lots of dakka to kill one, you need *accurate* dakka to kill the other, and you have but one list to do both with. |
| 01:29 | < Derakon> | Righto, thanks. |
| 01:29 | < McMartin> | (Since mook-class fighters do not have any of the aforementioned accurate dakka) |
| 01:29 | < Derakon> | This would be like a hero-flown X-wing taking out multiple squadrons of TIE-fighters? |
| 01:29 | < Derakon> | Or, I guess, A-wing. |
| 01:29 | < McMartin> | Also, while you're focusing all that firepower on the big slow ship, the nimble fighter and the big slow ship are ripping you to shreds because you're being slow and predictable |
| 01:29 | <@Reiv> | Correct, but hilariously the sides are the exact opposite |
| 01:30 | < McMartin> | Yes, but it's a TIE Interceptor wasting hordes of mook Xs, Ys, and Zs. |
| 01:30 | <@Reiv> | And Bs! |
| 01:30 | | * Derakon googles for the Z-wing. |
| 01:30 | < McMartin> | Who is also Wedge Antilles's brother-in-law, in one of the series' extremely few nods to the fact that the Galactic Civil War was, you know, a civil war. |
| 01:30 | < Derakon> | What the hell. |
| 01:30 | < McMartin> | Z-95 Headhunter. |
| 01:30 | <@Reiv> | No, no, Z-95 |
| 01:30 | < Derakon> | I think someone's trying too hard to come up with a different fighter for each letter. |
| 01:30 | <@Reiv> | Precursor to the X-wing, as lore goes. |
| 01:30 | < McMartin> | Z-95 was the target-practice ship back in TIE Fighter~ |
| 01:31 | < McMartin> | It turns out that having them outnumber TIEs 8-3 does make them a bit scarier though~ |
| 01:31 | < Derakon> | Okay, these aren't doing a weird wing-unfolding thing, so that's fight. |
| 01:31 | < Derakon> | In fact I'm distinctly reminded of the (I think it was) F-35 Lightning fighter from Escape Velocity. |
| 01:31 | <@Reiv> | Yeah, they're X-wings without the splitting wing gimmick |
| 01:32 | <@Reiv> | (Or half the guns accordingly, whups) |
| 01:32 | < McMartin> | (Bein' old and undergunned!) |
| 01:32 | < McMartin> | (Likewise, they're the same "vintage" as the TIE Fighter, IIRC. The TIE Interceptor was the one designed to match the X-Wing.) |
| 01:33 | < McMartin> | (And despite having no shields, I'm pretty OK with that claim~) |
| 01:33 | <@Reiv> | On the bright side, they do sport The Best Paintjob Ever when flown in mercenary hands |
| 01:33 | <@Reiv> | Ladies and gentlemen, N'dru Suhlak: http://xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/N'dru_Suhlak |
| 01:34 | <@Reiv> | (The rules text pretty much sums up "Does not play well with others") |
| 01:34 | < Derakon> | Someone's fan interpretation of the Lightning sprite from Escape Velocity: http://rainydays-games.com/sites/default/files/styles/slideshow__960x600_/public /images/artwork/evc-lightning-iso.jpg?itok=vLbzqxus |
| 01:35 | <@Reiv> | Hey, that's not far off |
| 01:36 | <@Reiv> | Of course, the bit that fills me with envy is that people then went and *painted* these: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3945/15334725968_6983e73a9c_o.jpg |
| 01:36 | <@Reiv> | The rat bastards, what with all that skill |
| 01:36 | < Derakon> | And time~ |
| 01:37 | <@Reiv> | I know, right~ |
| 01:37 | <@Reiv> | But yeah, the Z-95 is one of my favourite ships in how it works out |
| 01:37 | < Derakon> | Another ship from the game looks very similar to the ship from that Babylon 5 offshoot series. http://rainydays-games.com/sites/default/files/styles/slideshow__960x600_/public /images/artwork/evc-kestrel-iso.jpg?itok=ycsFNd_E |
| 01:37 | <@Reiv> | It's an X-wing! But worse! But you'll use 'em because they're cheap and trashy and some days any ship is better than none! |
