Looks and Current Gameplay combined: S: U-Wing A: Y-wing, B-Wing, T-65 X-Wing B: YT-1300, ARC-170, E-wing C: A-Wing, Auzituck, Attack Shuttle, Z-95 D: K-Wing, VCX-100, HWK-290 E: Sheathipede F: Sabine's Tie Fighter, YT-2400, The short and sweet, U-Wing is Booker T, spinaroni! And with Leia it's just wonderful. Double Tapping Ys are great, B-wings in a Leia meta are nice, T-65 is a great platform for Wedge, Luke and generics. YT-1300 is a points sink but is just nice, ARC is a valid Leia carrier, and BeySaw is evil. E-Wing takes work but once it's got something locked it can get to hunting. And it's a regen platform with Corran where I don't hate myself for regening when I could be shooting. A-wing as a platform is good but the initiatives of the pilots stink, it's not THAT much better off then a Z in terms of taking shots. Auzi is overlooked, Leia carrier, 180 arc, and there's haymaker potential with Wulf, Attack Shuttle with Sabine is a force, love it. Otherwise cheap ship, and gives the Ghost a boost. Zs, I love Zs, Cracken is awesome and while nothing special their generics can be a real thorn if ignored. As good a swarm ship as a Tie Fighter. K-Wing, too expensive, can't fire after slamming like the Alpha class, too expensive, weak firepower, no systems, love it's look though. VCX evil in a straight brawl, but needs support ships. HWK, love the looks, love the pilots, hate the points cost, Moldy Crow is waaaaay to expensive. It's also a tad fragile. Sheathipede has neat tricks it's just expensive and doesn't have as much the Sabine shenanigans the Attack Shuttle does, if it could double tap via a tail gunner it'd be tempting. Still just overshadowed in the support roll. Sabine's Tie... it's...cheap...but there's just so many other choices out there, and I'm not that crazy about the paint job. YT-2400...about 30 points too expensive on every platform. And it's not that durable UNLESS it's Dash behind an obstacle and even then, no points left for many buddies.
I'd argue the U-Wing is only so good because of Leia so I'd move it down to B because it still has Cassian. I'll argue for the Auzituck too as I have been using Wullffwarro recently and have been WRECKING with Saw and R2-D2 crew. Personally I'd place C tier, I think it's a dark horse.
You can't go off that though as if we're not thinking about Leia then the b wing wouldn't be s-tier either and xwing wouldn't be as good. You have to take things as they are in the meta now.
Okay, 1. This premise is right up my alley. Honestly the ranking could be done in more depth, possibly with another commentator, and even done once per points cycle. Of course all that depends on Dione’s interest in doing so, how long it takes, and how into it the viewers are. 2. I’ve never seen E-tier in a tiered ranking system. Not sure if that level of delineation is necessary. 3. Surprised to see the Rebel ARCs so low. I played a list with the three highest Initiative pilots and WRECKED SH*T w/ them. I think they deserve an honest look. 4. Putting the Falcon anywhere other than S-tier aesthetically is heresy and Dion is now an enemy of the Republic. 5. Jkjkjk 6. It warms my heart anytime someone thinks the Hwk 290 looks cool. I can never blame someone for thinking it looks stupid, because it’s a dumb blocky design intended for a 1994 PC game, but I love how clunky and utilitarian it looks. I was a huge fan of Dark Forces 2 as a kid, and it was the first ship I ever bought. If they hadn’t made that ship in X-Wing (and I have no clue why they did) I never would have gotten into it.
I like these opinion / preference videos, it's fun :p When I first saw the B-wing in RotJ I was like "oh cool it has moving wings like an x-wing.... But why is it a ' B ' wing..?"... But then when the toys came out and featured the rotating cockpit, it all made sense - like mind blown levels of awesome - and the love for the design for this ship just went through the roof, simply just thinking about how cool it looks rotating around while smashing TIE's :D A, B and U (in that order) are my fav's ♥
Z-95 just don't get the love they need! If you do 4 Tala, Mark, Hull up, and Proton Rockt, Cracken, Swarm, Hull up, and Ion Missle, You a get a 5 dice bullseye shot. Ion/swarm proton shot. With a 100% critical. Cracken can stress a target lock for a reroll. Splash one tie!
I think the Phantom Shuttle can definitely go a bit higher (1 tier maybe at most) simply because it is such a cheap carrier for Leia in Extended. I would say it has more value currently than the Arc, but as soon as Leia goes up that will obviously change. U-Wing I would argue is A tier. Cass is insane with B-Wings, but otherwise 'okay'. Reason it's also so good right now is Leia being dirt cheap. The chassis itself is B/A, but because of Leia probably A. Not S though imho. Rest of the list I agree with. I do think YT-2400 (Dash especially) should see more play! It actually aint bad!
I want turrets to make more sense in xwing. I want gunners to perform their own actions and perform their own attacks. Why do I require veteran turret gunner to shoot twice? If I dont equip that are you telling me my gunner is just sitting their watching the battle and not shooting because I'm using my primary attack? Wierd. Think this should be looked at again. Ships like the ghost have been killed because of these decisions in 2.0. Why should my pilot action be rotate turret if their is a gunner already doing their thing. The pilot rotating the turret, the gunner is.
There is a massive difference between what is being played and power level. I understand that there is a perception that if they are seeing play then they are garbage .... That's until someone wins with one. Lost should be called Top Played ships, and not most powerful
Don't see the logic on how you think the falcon is so much better looking than the outrider. I think they should be in the same tier wherever that may be.
I really wish the E-wing looked better. Its should have been the main rebel ship along side the T-70 in the sequel trilogy. Sadly I think it was too ugly for the job. My redesign/ Version 2.0 would be the x-wing fuselage it has now (minus silly gun on top....who put that there!!!), A-wing Engines and then U-wing style wings (closed) on the sides of those engines which open like x-wing s-foils. It would then be "E" shaped too.
Here you go. My tier list... limited to ships that exist in X-wing... ranking how much I like these ships in Star Wars, considering their aesthetics, role and functionality. Of course there are a lot of Star Wars ships I would like to throw on here... get on getting those into Xwing FFG! gyazo.com/48d17c9b7cf583479f028a2a6ed56127
You done the Outrider dirty in the appearance ranking! That ship is gorgeous. We demand a recount!
The K-Wing is ugly/beautiful, like a Rebel A-10 Thunderbolt.
It's an A-10 and a B-52 mixed together.
A-10 is just beautifull :)]
I love the K wing more than any other ship, but I guess either you like it, or you despise it’s guts
B Wing has always been my favorite ship. Fight me on that one
Catch me outside 😄
Me too.
Same
Y-wing is cooler i shall fight you
You can be my wing man anytime
The tie is so under rated
I love flying sabines TIE fighter
B-wing and Arc should be in S class. A wing should be in A class
Looks and Current Gameplay combined:

The short and sweet, U-Wing is Booker T, spinaroni! And with Leia it's just wonderful.

I can never blame someone for thinking it looks stupid, because it’s a dumb blocky design intended for a 1994 PC game, but I love how clunky and utilitarian it looks. I was a huge fan of Dark Forces 2 as a kid, and it was the first ship I ever bought. If they hadn’t made that ship in X-Wing (and I have no clue why they did) I never would have gotten into it.
I got into the game with Scum, and Most Wanted and a HWK were my first purchases.
I like these opinion / preference videos, it's fun :p
When I first saw the B-wing in RotJ I was like "oh cool it has moving wings like an x-wing.... But why is it a ' B ' wing..?"...
But then when the toys came out and featured the rotating cockpit, it all made sense - like mind blown levels of awesome - and the love for the design for this ship just went through the roof, simply just thinking about how cool it looks rotating around while smashing TIE's :D
A, B and U (in that order) are my fav's ♥
I never had the toys as a kid. That may have changed my opinion.
Thanks for watching!
And now, you can spin, flip and flap your 2nd-ed B-wings to your heart's content.
That's fortunate, since we can't actually fly them yet :(
The B stands for "blade" it was actually called a "blade wing" by its designers!
Please do more of these videos for other factions.
Lololololol Chinese food box! I'll never unsee that now
You should have done this after the points update. Looking forward for an updated ranking.
I plan on doing it again for after
will there be a 2.5 update? or is this still relevant for the new point system?
6:07 yes the k wing is ugly but it has a short of charm to it like an ugly mash up ship I love the k wing change my mind
Killing me with ranking the YT-2400 in [looks] F-tier, mate. Look at the actual model, and tell me it isn't an asymmetrical beauty.
Dude! I just won my league match with Dash 200-0! I challenge you next week
I agree, the YT-2400 is one of my favorites for aesthetics.
@@mtzano Awesome! What was your list?
Also, giant cannons bump any ship up a tier or 2.
Yt-2400 has Very. Big. Cannons.
@@mtzano I honestly think YT-2400 is the nicest looking ship among the large ones, Falcon is just too clunky
The U-wing shouldn't be at S-tier. It is only cassian who is hypereffective. Othervise they are not the best ship.
TH-cam title has typo
Z-95 just don't get the love they need! If you do 4 Tala, Mark, Hull up, and Proton Rockt, Cracken, Swarm, Hull up, and Ion Missle, You a get a 5 dice bullseye shot. Ion/swarm proton shot. With a 100% critical. Cracken can stress a target lock for a reroll. Splash one tie!

Don't forget to give credit where credit is due. Give credit to the guy who created this XWing Tier app.

This is so quiet, I can barely hear you
HiveTyrant36
HELLO THERE
Do with Empire ships
Will be doing all factions!
So much dis on the Y and B Wings design! S Tier all the way! Drop the Sabine Tie, Phantom 2 and E-Wing down about 2 notches :)
outrider on F in looks! PREPOSTERUS!
E-Wing would love Battlestar Galactiga haha
Is this 1.0 or 2.0?
2.0 (Second Edition), although the points would not be up to date.
WTF!!! Millennium Falcon Atier what!!
K wing is cool
It’s amazing, I disagree with nearly everything you say
Remember that the meta ranks are out of date as this was summer 2019 points
True
But definitely huge disagreement on the k wing looks
Still a good vid for 1st edition though
HWK is still great...
Outrider F tier on looks? Unsubbed
