The Cardboard Dungeon: X-Wing Ship Review - YT-2400 Freighter 

That was the Sato's Hammer, it wasn't the Outrider

Erik Mattson Thanks!

I think that I was directly referencing the Heavy Laser Cannon, which is the go-to weapon for the Outrider title. It's range is 2-3 so it has a range 1 safe zone for enemy ships, since the title disables use of the primary weapon.

The Cardboard Dungeon I see now how the two cards work together. I was just looking at the cannon card. I guess if I had them in a hand next to each other I would have seen that but that's still good clarification. Thanx! I bought this recently because of this review. I hope you're making some adsense money on the vids ; ) If I ever happen to do X-W videos I'd probably just do unboxings to show every last piece but your one of a few who'd I give a shout out to for learning from. It'd be the type of thing "I learned this from X" or "X knows more about it than I do so check them out” ie I’m not going to pretend to be the source of info until I know what I’m talking about fwiw. Admittedly the card wording in this game from what I’ve seen so far could be clearer it’s sort of terminology shorthand for brevity however once I look at the FA Reference booklet it hopefully will make more sense. I’m doing vids on the WizKidz Packet Model TCG that on the surface looks similar but those cards spell it out pretty well. You just have to watch out for “all units” vs “opposing units” vs “friendly units” in the text on cards that are otherwise the same for example. It’s not quite as complex but there’s synergy in deck & unit building so it might make learning X-W easier fwiw

Thanks! I like both Wave 5 ships a lot. I like that they both bring a lot of good options to their respective factions. The upgrade cards bring a lot of neat options to the game for the older ships as well. Wave 5 is a fantastic expansion in that respect as well.

***** If you do, you should name the squadron "Dashing Lando."

Super Dash and a bare bones YT-1300? Or something else?

They called it "Chewieebo. which is basically using Chewie and Leebo as the pilots for their respective ships. Leebo had the Outrider title with Jan Ors, Predator, and Mangler Cannon Chewie had the Millennium Falcon title, with C3-PO, Recon Specialist, and also Predator.

Green Knight Thanks!

I'd be okay with that, although Scum already has more large ships than either of the other factions. Wouldn't mind seeing Scum YT-1300s either.

Derek Taylor Here's a link to the BGG listing for X-Wing. About halfway down the page is a listing of every current and known future wave and which ships they contain. Hope that helps! www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/103885/star-wars-x-wing-miniatures-game

Thisson Sorry if I wasn't more clear in the video - I was talking about ships with turret primary weapons. The Y-Wing and HWK-290 can (and should almost always) make use of turrets via their turret upgrade slots. So yes, three ships with turret primary weapons, five ships total with turret capabilities.

The Cardboard Dungeon It's cool, your videos are great. I've subscribed.

+Gabriel Prieto Dash Rendar is a unique name, and the rules state that you can never have two cards with the same unique name (indicated by the dot to the left of the name) in the same squadron. So, no Dash pilot with Dash crew. Marksmanship works with Heavy Laser Cannon.

The Cardboard Dungeon I appreciate your response, thank you for clarifying🙏🏼

True, But you've have the hammerhead appear in Rogue One- that's a nod to the old style ships from KOTOR

spaceman022 as soon I saw the word "the ebon hawk" all I could think of was me repetively failing the mission in knights of the old republic to steal the ebon hawk

Ivan Rodriguez Thank you!

Ashley fitz-miller Yes, but it only has an attack value of 2 (which is the lowest in the game on a large ship currently).

Nigel King Good catch; yeah that's my mistake. I think I must have gotten ion and stress tokens mixed up in my head. Anyway, change my statement to "you'll want pilots or upgrades that help out stress on enemy ships..." Y s

That's a tough pairing. In order to get both, you'd need to sacrifice the "best build" options of one of them. For example, if you took TLT and an Attack Shuttle on the Ghost, you wouldn't be able to also have the Outrider title and Heavy Laser Cannon on the YT-2400. When faced with a decision like that, it's better to take an optimally-built small ship instead of a suboptimal Ghost or YT-2400.

Probably my chair. It's a little old :)

+VJStrife - Thanks.

+Kevin Langstone - Pretty sure I said "turrets." :)

Foolster41 Yeah I should have been more clear there. What I meant is it doesn't move as far to the side as it would if the template was perpendicular (as with small ships). If the template were placed the same way it would move a HUGE distance.

Basically, except in X-Wing it's called a Koiogran Turn, or K-Turn for short.

It's pretty easy to find since Google exists :)

+Rylan Joran - Not true! The Outrider makes a cameo in the special edition of A New Hope. In the Mos Eisley scene, you can see it lifting off and flying away. Now, I realize that this is a tenuous connection to the new canon, but I'm pretty sure Lucas is on record somewhere saying that it is indeed the Outrider and not some random YT-2400 freighter...

+The Cardboard Dungeon Well, then I stand corrected. I quite liked Dash Rendar, I just didn't like his clothing. Had they only dressed him more appropriately.....he looks like a saturday morning cartoon hero.

+Rylan Joran - Couldn't tell you for sure if Dash Rendar himself makes the cut into official canon or not (probably not) but it's definitely on record that the Outrider makes that cameo appearance.

+Jose Tomas Di Paola - To be fair, though, the Millennium Falcon is an ugly ship too. It's part of the charm.

It's so ugly it's awesome

+Jose Tomas Di Paola, now they need to release the YT-2000 :)

Jose Tomas Di Paola It has always been one of my favorites. lol

Looking at this guy's Liked videos and Subscriptions.... he's got really shitty taste...

Josh Mo You're absolutely correct! Duly noted :)

If it was 4x bigger than it would make it a 4x4 base meaning it would be the size 16 fighters. So you are wrong and it is only twice the size of a standard ship.

Hipster cat This is incorrect. By being twice the length it is 4 times the area.
