Its been out for close to 2 years now so forgive the thread-necro.
As the only Marquee/Chase that I farmed the second it dropped in a Node to this day, this ship has been less than impressive & it took me till today to look up stats for what I already had a feel about.
The #1 "gimmick" of this ship was to land that debuff to cripple HT or another enemy tank/attacker that relies on protection regen.
And yet, the designer choose to give this ship the lowest Potency of any ship in the game.
Actually, it is dead last in every single offensive category.
But to me the Potency is the one that really hurts this ship.
Rebel Y-wing
Damage/Crit = 6739 / 323
Special / Crit = 1939 / 0
Potency = 0.38
In the time since I opened it I have found it to be completely unreliable in landing that debuff.
The hits that don't seem to do much damage bother me less since its a "Tank".
Not that its a "Great" tank, but its serviceable.
The Bottom of the Barrel potency figure on a ship who's entire purpose is landing a debuff is just an example of bad coding or an intentionally flawed design to grab $$ based on the "preview" above that doesn't pan out in actual practice.
For 18 months now every time I use my Rebs to clear some back row Fleet in TW or someone B-Fleet in GAC the debuff fails more often than not & its been a little annoyance that just always gets me.
Anyway, my rant is over, sorry for the threadcromancy but this seemed like the right place.
