Review of maneuvers on X-Wing ships

After saying the Y-wing drives like a bus in space I decided to look closer at the movement dials available for each ship and how they compare. Yes its stat time again. I might of done this just to prove a point to Aris but it ended up just being fun to do.
Looking at all the ship available for x-wing so far (Excluding the Epic ships) I created a simple math equation for the dial
Every maneuver is worth one point +1 for White or +2 for Green, and Koigoran Turn are worth an extra +1 point.
Disclaimer – takes no account for Barrel Rolls, Boosts. Or uniqueness of the maneuver for example the Shuttle has a red full-stop no one else can do this.

So if you've played a bit it should be no surprise the Tie Interceptor and A-wing being on top what really do surprise me if the YT’s both being so good.
If you consider the effect of cloak on the phantom. It really is just scary where it can move too.
I do consider the Z95/X-wing the base line in regards to options from their dials if you agree with my assumption then the Y/B and Hawk are much less responsive and therefore easier to predict possible placement, but when you play against Aris and his personal Gold Squadron of doom! The Y-wing seem to be everywhere you don’t want em to be.

The Hawk (Flying Brick) and the Shuttle (Space Cow!) have great personalities.

  1. Pound for pound Y wings are the best ship in the game. Survivability and a turret. Go barrel roll somewhere else. Nice write up Ado.
