In regards to escalation, I am unclear on something. Can the upgrades you purchase round to round include increasing a pilot? for instance in round one could I have say a rookie pilot, but then in round 2 have it be Wedge instead?

As I understand it, no. The ship and the pilot are the same thing (i.e. the ship is not just a T65, it's wedge in a t65).

Yeah, the way to look at Escalation is to start with a 60 point list built as normal, then every round past the first add 30 more points to what you already have.

So, is it a dick move to start of with chopper in the ghost, and ezra in a phantom?

Nah, if anything you might find yourself at a disadvantage for the first round with a mostly unupgraded VCX and shuttle. The only restriction for the first round is you have to have at least two ships, so you couldn't start with a 60 point fat Falcon or something and call it a day, so you're in the clear there.

Played against a Dengar and IGB.list with my inquisitor/carnor/Soontir list. It went well but I think I need to change the stealth device on Soontir to a TC, but for more damage and since I need a better initiative bid.

I'm a big fan of TC on Soontir as opposed to Stealth Device, I think it's the way to go with him honestly.

I was just thinking a ghost could absorb way too much fire for a 60 point thing, and shoot the enemy too much. Probably will start with a wedge wes starting point actually. Give Wes VI,(Would do adaptibility, but I don't have teh card itself) have a 1 point buy, then next give them astros and IA and give wedge predator. Then, I dunno what else

I start with Wedge and Luke, where Wedge has Predator. It murders everything at 60 points.

Playing a tournament in two days, and have pretty much decided on this list: RADICAL FRIENDS 100 points Dengar - 49 points Push the Limit Unhinged Astromech Punishing One N’Dru Suhlak - 25 points Cluster Missiles Glitterstim Lone Wolf Guidance Chips Syndicate Thug - 26 points Ion Cannon Turret R5-P8 Anything I should switch out, or is there some obvious flaw I'm missing? Very few here cares/knows about the meta, so there's no telling what I'm facing. uncle blog fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Then, I dunno what else The issue with the Ghost is that it has 0 Agility and Chopper only has a PS of 4. If you can line up the shots on people regularly then sure, that's a heck of a punch, but without all the goodies that go into most Ghost lists what's more liable to happen is your opponent has a 16 hitpoint turkey shoot.

OL and Inq would be a great 60 point list. Yeah. Not sure what the 30 points would be to get you to 90 though  Actually, you do OL/Vader, add Inq, then add the Palpshuttle. Dang.

Tekopo posted:I still like SD but yeah, the TC can be better in certain situations. I think Carnor still needs it though since his survivability is lower since he doesn't have the free focus. Well plus Carnor's value lies in his ability to deny your opponent the ability to utilize focus, so the longer he can survive the more you get to wring out of that, especially if they wind up gunning for him first. Let them exhaust themselves trying to swat Carnor down while Soontir and the Inquisitor clean up.

I forget if I got the list from here or a tournament result website, but the following setup ended up being hilariously dickish: Biggs w/R2-D2 Kanan Jarrus w/Autoblaster Turret, Advanced Sensors, Tactical Jammer, Zeb, Recon Specialist, and Ghost Ezra Bidger w/PtL and Phantom. Hide Biggs behind the Ghost and regens, Kanan double-focuses every turn and reduces dice on the obstructed attacks v Biggs while throwing out his two attacks a turn.

Ghost lists in general has a high capacity for dickishness. Just a few days ago I played a guy who had a combination of a TLT, FCS, Lando, and Kanan Jarrus on his with Biggs running backup and it was the worst.

Anyone interested in buying collections of wangs? I bought in heavy last fall, but it's not working out to play, and it's not as fun as I'd hoped. If there's interest, I'll put together a list and take pictures of all the smaller stuff, but i know I have the following: 1x imperial raider 1x Tantive 1x rebel transport 2x IG2000 1x Houndstooth 1x Slave 1 1x imperial shuttle 1x falcon 1x correllian ship that isn't the falcon 2x force awakens starters 1x imperial Aces 1x rebel aces 1x most wanted 3x kwings 1x vt49 decimator 1x Feldherr maxi plus bag rebel arrangement. Assorted boosters All of the ships include all pieces, cards, and dials. Just what's listed above is $790 msrp sealed, but I wouldn't expect anywhere near that much for it.

One of my local shops has already started taking pre-orders for Imp Vets and they say the release is 'imminent'. With them also being on the Boat on the FFG website, I'm sort of hopeful that we'll get them before I play my regional/the Yavin open in June!

I've been playing around with the Corran + Dash build that was posted earlier in the thread. I tried it and it worked extremely well so it's time to fiddle with it. I'm borrowing parts from the friend I play with. How does this look?: Dash Rendar(36) Lone Wolf (2) Heavy Laser Cannon (7) Lando Calrissian (3) Outrider (5) Corran Horn (35) Push the Limit (3) Engine Upgrade (4) R2-D2 (4) Total: 99 Points I've seen some people mention using BB-8 instead to turn him from good maneuverability to ludicrous. But I'm not sure it's worth losing the shield regen.

I think HLC Dash is too easy to donut hole unless you put PtL+EngineUpgrade+Kanan on there, at least imo. Unfortunately, that precludes using the PtL Phantom-esque Corran... which is why I don't run Corran with Dash anymore, but again that's my personal play style.

Do you still run Corran with a different wingman? Or Dash with someone else? Curious because I recently got both of these expansions, but haven't really done much with them.

I'll be submitting mine on the 26th and not before, most likely, maybe on the 25th. If I have Vets by then or I know I'm definitely going to be able to before the tourney AND it'll be legal, I'll include it. Otherwise, not But it'll probably include it in my side hangar list, assuming it's out, either way. And assuming I don't make day two, which I, you know, am.
