Everytime I find a Falcon or Firespray someplace (in english at least) I don't have the cash to spare and decide to go back next week. At which point they're gone.

Thinking of entering my first store tourney, could use a bit of advice. I enjoy playing Imperials, but I thought Rebs might be a bit more forgiving of rookie mistakes.quote:Jake Farrell (24) If they allow proxies I'll be dumping Jake's Outmaneuver for Push The Limit. He'll be the flanker trying to chase down pesky Phantoms or rush behind the line and stay there. Alternatively I'd swap VI for Adrenaline Rush just to have a one-off white K-turn to stay with particularly slippery things. The other three will just be a core flying within Range 2 of each other with the Y-Wing to cover while they move and Garven to hand out extra Focus when and where it's needed. I haven't played here before so I have no idea what the meta is like, but the tournament's being billed as newbie friendly so hopefully there will be a mix of things to face. I was originally going to build it around Nera but then I realised I had no Flechette torpedoes

I've heard people call the version of that Jake with Push the Limit "ghetto Soontir Fel," and it seems to fit.

So Farlander with HLC/PtL/Advanced Sensors is extremely good. I fought against Jake as well and yeah, he's pretty much a Soontir, but with two EPT slots.

Jake is pretty neat but it quickly becomes obvious how much better Soontir is with only 2 attack dice

Im beginning to think a souped up Farlander is the support ship of choice for Han when you're not running Biggs + A.

alg posted:Jake is pretty neat but it quickly becomes obvious how much better Soontir is with only 2 attack dice Yeah, but Jake swaps a point of hull for 2 shields, has one extra green maneuver, gets to do an action no other A-Wing can do for free, has a target lock to help mitigate the 2 attack dice and gets access to an extra EPT for 5 points less than the Baron. Bring him to the same Pilot Skill with VI and he's 4 points cheaper. 2 Attack hurts but he's not too shabby.

Yeah honestly the flexibility that Jake has is something above and beyond what Fel can do. It looks really, really good and it ends up being a really cheap effective flanker which absolutely cannot be ignored.

Like I keep going on and on every few pages, he's probably the best candidate for one of the offensive boosting talents (Outmaneuver, Predator, even Expose) because it offsets his one downside of 2 Attack dice for how cheap he is. Expose lets him on demand turn into an X-Wing, but it's expensive. (The downside of Expose is mitigated by being an A-Wing, and therefore going 'down' to a regular 2 Defence dice compounded by his ability to not be in Arcs in the first place)

I have used Tycho Celchu, A-Wing Test Pilot, Push the Limit, Daredevil, Chardaan Refit with some success as well. It's fun pushing around that pile of stress tokens.

I'm gonna enjoy using Fett as an anchor with a couple Z's. Virago as the flanker. A scum version of the lambda, echo, and tie/Ln formation.  That insta-hit ion attack is pretty sweet. It would actually allow for a formation of Z's to hold off an echo or even finish off Han.

With a list of three B-Wings, how would I want to fly them? Roughly together, in some kind of formation? Spread them out? I tend to play with people who like Predator, so I try to avoid the PS2 pilots.

Well I just lost my 3rd round in the Team Covenant Open. Played Dallas Parker, who took 2nd at Worlds last year. He was running Kenkirk and Whisper, I took the Zs again. I over committed in the first round and he set up perfect to arc dodge with Whisper whether I went straight or turned in. Killed Blount in one shot on the first round and it went downhill from there! The squad I want to play with for some fun games is the Serious Sevens. Keyan Farrel Porkins All with PTL. Engine on the X and B, Chardaan on Jake. Advanced Sensors for Keyan and R5-D8 for Porkins. Should be fun as hell!

I've decided that I'm going to start running TIE Bombers with Proton Bombs in an effort to counter all these A-Wing lists I'm seeing popping up. e: I'm thinking 4x Gamma Squadron Pilots with Flechette Torpedoes and Proton Bombs. 100 points on the nose.

Rules Questions as I prep for my first tourney! If I take Roark Garnet, then use him on pilot A with swarm tactics, and then pilot A uses swarm tactics on pilot Y, Is pilot Y's skill now 12 or Pilot A's original skill level? Also if a ship with shields is hit by an Ion turret, does it still count even if the ship only loses a shield or does it need to take actual damage for the ion effect to happen? Thanks!

Got a flawless victory 3-0, 600 points differential, tonight. Keyan + Han is nuts and is the best support ship so far. Beat a rebel elite list, BBZ, a Han/Ors list, and a shuttle/phantom/tie list. Sadly the swarm guy didn't want to play swarm this time and the BBBB guy didn't show up but in testing it was found to destroy enough Bs for Han to survive until the late game. Farlander was equipped with E2/gunner, PTL, and FCS. I think next time I'll equip him with just PTL and HLC because gunner never activated (and is unlikely with TL+focus at all times) and I think it'll be better getting out the extra damage with HLC instead.

What are you guys using to organize/store your cards? I keep all the ship stuff (cards, base cards, and dials) in labeled plastic bags, and all the damage cards in a little bag, but all my other upgrade/crew/ordnance/etc cards are just kinda sitting in there in my case. I need a better way of keeping them.

All my cards are in sleeves and I follow a 2 upgrade card per pocket process and it works fine. It's not tight enough to survive being upside down, so I have to be sure to keep the binder upright, but otherwise, it works for me.

Upgrade cards go into small baggies that I think were originally containing bases/stands. They all go into an old card organizer with most of the game materials. The other materials go on top of my tackle box which houses the ships.  The quick play stuff is on top of this as well as the dice and medals I still need to sell. Poor bombs will never get used so I might get rid of them too.

I played a pretty good match this weekend against my friend. B-Wing with Ion Cannon is super overpowered holy poo poo. My friend was running 2 ties and a bomber while I had an X-wing and a B-Wing. X-wing took out a Tie, and then he bombed the everloving gently caress out of my X-Wing and destroyed it essentially in one turn. My B-Wing focused his tie down and essentially locked his tie bomber down with the Ion Cannon every single turn until he died. Advance Marksmanship+Numb is ridiculous. I haven't had much use out of my phantom yet. It's mobile and can cloak, but we're unsure on a few things. Target lock stays on until it's used, but does this mean that if I have a target lock on someone I am unable to perform an action while it is still up? Cloaking just adds 2 to evasive, not lose target lock correct? Spending target lock lets you reroll any amount of dice right? The Ion cannon (we had a small discussion on this) when it hits, means that he can no longer attack on that turn if he attacks second correct? How are the Falcon and the Slave 1? He really wants to get a Slave 1, as do I, but 50 something dollars is a pretty big investment on something that might not be worth it to us. We're really excited about Armada. Well, I am at least. My main goal when he told me about this was to fight in a Star Destroyer (favorite ship ever in any sci-fi universe. The shape, size, and firepower is nuts). If Armada doesn't have Admiral Thrawn or something like that, I'll be disappointed. Not too disappointed, but at least a little twinge of "awwww  "

Thanks So he can still attack if I ionize him? What the world!? So what's the point of using Ion cannon then, if it hits and all dice are canceled, I only do one damage as opposed to hitting him and possibly doing more with target lock/advanced marksmanship

Thanks Ion cannons are useful because you know exactly what the enemy is going to do next round. You can even walk people off the board if you keep hitting. It's extremely useful to just to have the opportunity to stick behind someone and essentially neutralize him.
