The trade-off for all the maneuverability these ships gain through the SLAM action is that it disables their weapons for a round. However, as Kevin Leintz pointed out in his X-Wing 101 article, 'Bombs Away,' the SLAM action makes these ships far more maneuverable than they initially appear, and they can cover more distance in a single round than even an A-wing or TIE interceptor. It doesn't go terribly fast although, the Star Wing does boast a red speed '4' straight maneuver that the K-wing doesn't have-along with a pair of speed '3' turns that also make it slightly more maneuverable than the K-wing.ДЄ 360-degree view of the Alpha -class Star Wing.

It lacks the ability to adjust its facing by more than ninety degrees on a single maneuver. Like the K-wing, the Star Wing initially appears somewhat limited in its maneuvers. This is because the second defining aspect of the Star Wing's maneuverability is its This fact is no coincidence and can go a long way toward informing our understanding of the ship's identity in the heat of battle. The Star Wing's dial also bears a striking similarity to that of the Rebellion's K-wing. In fact, the Star Wing's dial looks more like that of the The Star Wing lacks the speed '1' turn maneuver shared by so many of the Empire's other fighters, and it has no Koiogran-turn, Segnor's Loop, or Tallon Roll whatsoever. Immediately, the Star Wing's maneuver dial separates it from the Empire's other fighters. This starts with the combination of its maneuver dial and action bar, and in the case of the Star Wing, these lead to some combinations that are quite unique-at least among Imperial starfighters.ДЇirst you have the maneuver dial. In X-Wing, the greatest measure of a ship is the way it flies. You must be versatile in order to be victorious.ДЄnd in this age of fast-paced, squadron-based dogfights, we face one critical question: what does the Star Wing-this highly anticipated Imperial starfighter-bring to X-Wing? They might fly in tight formations or seek to pull your ships in different directions. Your rivals might fly aggressively or defensively. It's harder than ever to anticipate the dangers your squadrons might face. Now the ship enters X-Wing at a time when the Empire faces not only the Rebellion's insurgency, but the additional challenges presented by the galaxy's Scum and Villainy. These made it a true threat to Rebels everywhere, and the Star Wing was one of the few Imperial starfighters to boast its own hyperdrive and deflector shields. Having originally appeared in the Star Wars: X-Wing computer game by LucasArts, the Star Wing quickly became a fan favorite thanks to its impressive array of lasers, ion cannons, missiles, and torpedoes. Versatile and deadly, the Star Wing makes its X-Wingв„ў debut in Wave XII with the Alpha-class Star Wing Expansion Pack!
