    Ah the TIE Defender! When TIE Fighter first came out on PC back in '94 I picked it up. I love the Imperials and thought it was awesome. First mission with the Starwing, I thought this is the Apex, then you got to get in The Defender. That ship was insane! No Rebel fighters were a threat, Corvettes, Nebulon-B's you could solo, big MonCal's were no longer intimating. I played that game for literally a 1000 hours because of The Defender.
    First ship I got for X-Wing, even before I got the Core Set. I now have two and the Imperial Veterans pack. So glad I can play Me, Marek Stele, from TIE Fighter in a TIE/D

    Definitely agree with number 1. Defender is my favorite Imperial ship.

    When you mention nerfs, could you add a brief explanation of the changes for those who are new to (or are thinking about joining) the game just to give them an idea of how subtle changes effect different ships? Just a suggestion. Thanks! Also, I would be negligent if I didn't mention that these are great videos to give new players a taste of the nuances between ships.

      The Defender nerf basically toned down the X/7 title, the pre-nerf versin gave you an evade token if the ship did high speed moves, the revised version requires you to not crash into other ships or obstacles to get the token, it also changed to a 'free action' rather than getting the evade, meaning if you had anything stopping you from taking actions, usually stress, you couldn't get the token, it dialled down the power a bit but is still good with decent flying

    I'm having lots of success running 2 Tie Advanced Tempest Squadron pilots with Cluster Missiles, with Brath or Jonus and something else to fill space.

    Good list. Not a fan of the striker but I haven’t flown it much so maybe it’ll grow on me. Absolutely love the SF and Defender as well.

    • @MrJeepinZeke
      @MrJeepinZeke 7 лет назад +1

      Sarge Large I’ve heard that about the Striker from quite a few people. Get to know the ship and you’ll like it for sure if maneuvering is your thing.

      Zeke770 gonna have to! I own one since I get every Imp ship. I’ll test it out some more

    Thank you for these videos! My son and I just got into X Wing and I get destroyed as the Imperials! I was really looking forward to this video! I think I might switch to Scum though. Lol

    • @Jonathan_B87
      @Jonathan_B87 7 лет назад +1

      Jack Gibson if you run three defenders you won't be destroyed

    • @jackgibson7151
      @jackgibson7151 7 лет назад +1

      Jonathan Bridges I guess I need to buy two more defenders and give it a try!

    • @Jonathan_B87
      @Jonathan_B87 7 лет назад

      Jack Gibson that is how my son always beats me.

    • @Dasharr
      @Dasharr 7 лет назад

      Jonathan Bridges /x7 Defenders (I assume 3 of those in a triple Defender list) are really bad against bombs, and unfortunately bombers are everywhere in tournament play now. I still like them - I even included /x7 Countess Ryad in the list I took to Nationals recently - but I wouldn't recommend 3 of them together anymore because they lack tools to deal with threats they're weak against.

    • @Jonathan_B87
      @Jonathan_B87 7 лет назад +1

      Dasharr that is what my son uses but when I run Triple defenders I run them with Tie/d and ion cannons. It's hard to put bombs where you want when you're ionized and getting shot at six times. Once for ion cannon and a second time natively x3.

    Regarding the Aggressor, I've found the LWF is key to it's survival.

  • @robertraine6045
    @robertraine6045 7 лет назад

    i love the tie defender but its just to damned expensive for how quickly it can be tlt i am keen to see how she will do with the ept intensity

  • @jansosnowiec5927
    @jansosnowiec5927 7 лет назад

    Agree. TIE Defender is glorious.

  • @lordofbritannia
    @lordofbritannia 7 лет назад +5

    I still think Tie interceptor may be better than Tie fighter

    • @Crabbok
      @Crabbok  7 лет назад

      Fair. I can see reasons for this but have a hard time using Interceptors lately.

  • @TheTerribleSwede
    @TheTerribleSwede 6 лет назад

    Lightweight Frame is amazing for TIE Aggressor.

  • @stevensmith2667
    @stevensmith2667 7 лет назад

    Going to my first tourney in 2 weeks...any advise or maybe recommendation for a first timer list?

    • @Crabbok
      @Crabbok  7 лет назад +1

      I have a few here - www.crabbok.com/squad-lists/x-wing-squads/ but you can try a Han Shoots First type list with a Falcon and some X-Wings for classic list.

    @piperskalka3909 7 лет назад

    Top 3:
    1. TIE Defender

  • @stevensmith2667
    @stevensmith2667 7 лет назад

    How are ships nerfed? Where do I find any updates to the rules?

    • @Crabbok
      @Crabbok  7 лет назад +1

      I have an errata section on www.crabbok.com that should show you some of the nerfs, such as the new way Palpatine is worded, etc.

  • @johnchavez3753
    @johnchavez3753 7 лет назад +2

    Really weird choosing for top ten, no tie ADV. prototype No tie bomber, no tie phantom?

    • @Crabbok
      @Crabbok  7 лет назад

      Did you see the 18-11 video? I spoke at length about why I ranked the Tie Adv Prototype in it's particular position... I know alot of people love it, but I have a personal vendetta against that ship so I had to score it very low..... very low indeed. Totally my own bias though.

    • @gunnertlc7728
      @gunnertlc7728 7 лет назад +2

      Tie phantom is arguably the worst ship in the game atm.

    • @DanteStiglitz
      @DanteStiglitz 7 лет назад +1

      TIE Phantom is the BEST Ship in the GAME.. Use Echo as a pilot + veteran insticts, advanced cloakcking device + recon specialist + fire controll system = the best killing machine in the space.

  • @Shylock0031

    Defender at number 1!!!! YES!!!!!!

  • @ChristopherBrown0073
    @ChristopherBrown0073 7 лет назад +1

    Not super survivable....anything with 3 agl and a focus is pretty bloody survivable.

  • @greywarden1393
    @greywarden1393 7 лет назад +1

    Another great video. But seriously the aggressor shouldn’t be anywhere near the top 5. It’s just not a good ship.

    • @MrJeepinZeke
      @MrJeepinZeke 7 лет назад

      Grey Warden I don’t think it’s amazing but it’s not a bad ship. Its biggest hit is probably not coming out at a good time.
