Hi all

I'm relatively new at this whole xwing malarkey and looking for one of the larger Imperial ships to with all my TIES. Is there a significant benefit of the Fires pray over the Decimate or vice versa?

Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm not sure you'd say one has a benefit over the other, they're very different ships with different profiles.

Very broadly speaking, the FS is probably the better platform, but the Decimator does things the FS can't. Neither is inherently better with TIEs, as the game doesn't really work that way.

As with all new players, the best advice is probably that you'll probably get one of everything eventually, so just go with what you like best.

Fair enough. If there is no great difference I'll probably go for the Decimator first for that lovely turret action
