About as bad of an idea to fly a falcon without C3PO.

I have such a love hate relationship with the this game right now. Leaving that aside for the moment, there is a Firespray for sale in a local shop. Are they still hard to get hold of or is the price about to drop? They are selling it for £24.99.

Since MW has options for the Firespray and people will likely want one, I can't really see their price dropping much.

So with the new BLT title changing things up for Y-Wings, what's the easiest way to make them more survivable without forcing them to remain at range 2-3?

Engine Upgrade, ion cannon turret. Expensive, but you can get four Golds with that. Do interesting things, and only put the BTL on half of them so you actually have some turrets left.

I just bought two Phantoms, have a ton of S&V coming in, and got a new case to carry it all since the red plano case no longer holds all my mans. gently caress this hobby, man. I spend way too much money on this.

The lack of storage options is what's actually keeping me from buying the new wave. Might buy a Plano so I can start using it as my tournament kit and leave the toolbox at home.

I bought this bad rear end: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Plano-Angled-Tackle-System/15904153 I have one that holds the plethora of poo poo you need for Imperial Assault, so I expect this to carry everything but the Corvette.

I was cleaning up my hobby room, and found a TIE Defender and an A Wing both new in box. That was my 7th A wing. Please send help.

Jesus.  It really is plastic smack.A friend flew an XXXXZ list against me, testing out Engine Upgrade on all the X-wings. It...doesn't seem to be the solution to whatever ails the X-Wing.

General Battuta posted:Jesus. Engine upgrade is a small slice of the solution, but comes with the crippling disadvantage of being both A) a modification, so you lose by opportunity cost things like Hull and Shield Upgrade and B) really loving expensive for small ships. Big ships don't care as much because they get double the distance (and generally more turning out of it), but small ships paying 4 for a boost is a lot.

Another issue is it's not great on low PS ships. Putting one on Wedge can be reasonably effective. Give him Push the Limit and an R2 for a green 2 turn and you can have fun in a casual game, for sure. Lotta points, obviously.

I'd say you could fix the X-wing pretty easily by just making it cheaper. Call it the Wraith Squadron Retrofit and put an Ewok on the card with a hydrospanner.

I want my drat X-Wings to be able to dogfight, and they can't right now. They can't maneuver, and they effectively have a single useful upgrade slot, astromechs.

When this game first game out I dipped my toes in. I own two cores and one copy of all the first waves. I just couldn't find anyone that played. That's changed recently so what I'm wondering is there a buy list or a place I can check out that will let me know what I need to buy to be competitive?

If you are playing casually, buy what you want/like the look of and proxy the cards you need. It really depends on what you like flying, though. What faction/play style interests you most?

What faction/play style interests you most? I'll jump in on needing advice, is it worth buying in to the most wanted set after the core if i'm looking to build at 100 point scum fleet for play? Or will I most likely be missing too many cards from all the other sets to make it worth it yet?

Most wanted can convert a Firespray, Y-Wing, and HWK you already own into scum ships, which is a pretty cool way to kick-start the faction, but only for people who have already bought in.

You can probably get a pretty decent list by just going core + most wanted and then getting a Firespray: a Firespray with 2 Zs and a Y will make a more or less workable list: PILOTS Binayre Pirate (12) x 2 Kavil (34) Y-Wing (24), Autoblaster Turret (2), Unhinged Astromech (1), Push the Limit (3), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), Engine Upgrade (4) Kath Scarlet (41) Firespray-31 (38), Outmaneuver (3) Total: 99 points The only issues with the above list is that you'll need Push the Limit from A-Wing/Imp Aces, Engine Upgrade from the Falcon and Outmaneuver from the E-Wing/TIE Defender, but you only need to worry about that if you are going to an official FFG tournament. In regular, casual play, it shouldn't really matter if you have the cards or not, so just go with what ships you need and just proxy the cards as needed.

X-Wings won't really be tournament viable until they can effectively deal with a Phantom. So it needs access to arc dodging poo poo and pretty much Luke, Wedge, or Wes with VI. The current league at my store has brought in a TON of new players, but all the old players are sick of this meta. Scum will only make it worse with autothrusters.

What exactly are they sick of and what exactly will be worse due to the presence of Autothrusters? Are arc-dodging inties really driving people away where you are at the extent that it will get worse when they access to autothrusters?

Things will only get worse, since the turret ships won't be able to deal with Soontir/Phantoms combos, meaning Rebel players will have ... well not much at all to deal with that

Tekopo posted:PILOTS I wouldn't use Kavil with BTL-A4 since it basically cancels his pilot ability. Instead I'd give him a Blaster Turret and drop Kath for Boba with VI since that brings the list's points back down to 100.

Oh yeah, I forgot about his special ability, you can pretty much drop BTL from him in that case.alg posted:Decimator/Phantom and Fat Han. VI/Ptl/Prockets Jake (make sure you bid for advantage) will tear up Soontir and Phantoms, AdSensors/Mangler Cannon/VI Ten Numb (there are so many crits that completely wreck Soontir it's not even funny) and Fat Han or an Outrider are still decent enough ships, although yes, they are taken down a notch against A-Wings/Inties/Starvipers. The real difference is with regards to S&V, with feedback arrays guaranteeing hits and hot shot blasters, Phantoms and Arc Dodger will be taken down a notch.

Yeah it kind of blows to have to play S&V to get the fixes Rebels sorely need. :/

I wish the Rebel Y-Wings had EPT slots. I really want to make a PtL Y-Wing (like the scum one) happen but without being able to get an EPT and be able to get an R2 astromech, the idea is dead in the water.

Yeah the only real change I might do is to go back to the old list and use Luke instead of Gunner since I already have predator and it'll make taking down phantoms just a little bit easier. The PS4 for tala isn't that useful right now anyway vs decimators and they will at least get to shoot simultaneously with B-wings.
