Talk:U-wing Expansion Pack/@comment-50.110.162.157-20180104053254

The U stands for underpowered or underwhelming...uncomplete? However its described, it just lacks the right stuff. Suggestion I've made to friend that got a good reaction. Uwing fix. Upgrade: torpedo (two torp slots) unique Uwing only. 0 squad points. Your upgrade bar gains the (astromech) slot. In short you trade BOTH torp slots for astromech...would be only large base to have that slot, already checked for anything "broken", meaning too good\overpowered and that's why I said unique lol. Uwing is a weak ship, its a point and shoot large base with no repositioning action. if you dump points into it...many points, you can make it battle ready, or least look the part, but compared to what else you could gotten for same points its not even close to viable. But wait! Somebody might say, a lambda is 21nts and uwing is 23pnts and better...tell them...lambda is 2 crew slots on a faction with severely limited crew carriers and imperial crew upgrades  have a VERY different flavor. Uwing is on a faction overflowing with crew slots. Having 2 crew slots won't get you a second look on rebel faction, gotta have something else. Why take a uwing when can bring out a (IMO) a much better auzituck gunship (which also has 2 crew slots), its tough as nails, its slow speed and lack of kturn doesnt cripple it like it does the uwing. Wide aux arc makes slow rolling in tank mode while carrying support crew a breeze, for 1 more point only....uwing has no redeeming feature to give any real legitimate reason to ever be used, give it ASTROMECH
