Tie Striker will get a tallon roll. Only greens faster than 3+ and a tech slot. 2-3-1-3.

With the U Wing I just realized, it's an Alliance fighter from Mass Effect.  I think some people pointed out, it might be the pseudo troop transport in the trailer, so it might be rather big. I guess Rebel Brobot with torps?

I've been thinking more about what I'm going to run for regionals in 2 weeks, and I'm pretty stuck on the idea of Inky + 2 interceptors, though I don't have a lot of EPTs. Running all VIs was suggested, but I only have one (I don't even have any stealth devices) Last night, In the second match I switched out Tetran Cowell and gave Kir Kanos a try. I'm not sure about which I'd rather use. I lost both, though the second one was somewhat closer. (Though part of that might be that I realized in the second battle that rushing Jax over open space to get close is a bad idea). I don't remember which EPTs I used. I think Outmanuver, Oppertunisat and one VI? On the second one I put expose on Jax, and shot at my opponent at range 1 through an astroid, which gave me a slightly better accuracy than the opponent, but they got a pretty lucky shot and mine was all blanks and he got one-shoted. I used PTL on Inky and Kanos and it worked fairly weell, being able to boost/barrel roll and TL for Inky and evade for Kanos' abilliy in a single turn. The non-proxy EPTs I have are: Deadeye, Determination, Elusiveness, Expert Handling, Expose, Juke, Marksmanship (x3), Oppertunist (x2), Outmanuver, PTL (x2), Squad Leader, Swarm Tactics (x2), Wired and Vetran instincts? (I thought I had, I Can't find it now) For mods I have shield upgrades (x4), Targeting Computer (x2) and Hull Upgrade (x2). No Autothrusters, sadly. E: Oh, Kanos doesn't even have EPT slot. Also, I realize probably TL is not going to be very useful for him anyway, since he'd want to evade, so maybe better to use Hull upgrades instead. Here's my start of a list: Inky and Friends - 97 Points • Carnor Jax TIE Interceptor (32 Points) Royal Guard TIE+Targeting Computer+Shield Upgrade • The Inquisitor TIE Advanced Prototype (33 Points) Push the Limit+TIE/v1+Shield Upgrade+?? EPT worth 0-3 Points • Kir Kanos TIE Interceptor (31 Points) Royal Guard TIE+Hull Upgrade+Shield Upgrade Foolster41 fucked around with this message at 22:15 on May 17, 2016 |

If not, it's not worth running them if you want to stand a chance in high level competition. If you DGAF and just want to have fun, do whatever and have fun. Squints rule.

Oh. I don't have Soontir. I might pick it up by then, but I was saving my money for the Imp Vets at the end of the month. I don't have a lot of ships, and I wanted to run Inky since it seems pretty good competitively. Would I better off using FO aces then? The ships I have for empire is: FOs x2, TIE, x4 Interceptors x2, TIE Adv., TIE Adv. prototype, TIE Phantom

Inquisitor/PTL/title/(mod sad) OL/Juke/Comm/(mod sad) Whisper/VI/ACD/FCS/A Crew. Solid on competitive stakes but both OL and Inky are sad at your lack of Autothrusters and Stealth Devices respectively, and there's not a huge amount that fills those points. It's REALLY tough to build competitive Imp Aces without SDs and Autothrusters.

I'm kind of hoping for a strike bomber feel for new TIE. Something like having 1-5 forwards, but no 1 turn or bank (no 2 turn?) and the 1-3 are white but 4-5 forward are green, and 3-5 speed k-turns in white. 4 hull, no shields (faster TIE Bomber), 2 primary, 2-3 agility. Torpedoes are generally too action-intensive, but missiles frequently only need one to be effective, so call it a missile slot and a bomb slot, systems slot optional, and action bar consisting of boost, evade, TL, and focus, with a title that gives it SLAM (because no ship has more than four actions on the bar yet natively). Basically the gottagofast bomber equivalent to the Defender.

Some Numbers posted:You can run Omega Leader, Inquistor and Carnor Jax. It's not a bad list. Carnor without AT and SD is going to die super quick, and you're going to struggle to fill all the points. This is a possibility: The Inquisitor (25) Push the Limit (3) Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) TIE/v1 (1) "Omega Leader" (21) Juke (2) Comm Relay (3) Carnor Jax (26) Push the Limit (3) Targeting Computer (2) Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) Royal Guard TIE (0) Academy Pilot (12) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder But I wouldn't expect it to do amazingly because of the above notes. Imp Aces usually need to be built up as much as you can because they're otherwise amazingly fragile. OL is the notable exception, even without SD he can tank almost anything one-on-one that doesn't have a way to shed TLs. But when he gets ganged up on he dies ignominiously. I mean, giving Carnor a couple of extra greens and Inky four extra greens is nice, and the AP is a blocker if you can use it to good effect but I wouldn't run this at a big competition.

Long ranged missiles are a complete waste on Inq. Prockets is an argument but probably not something OP owns given they're only in the A Wing and Raider. Cluster Missiles also might do the trick. But generally, when you always get three dice, paying for a single extra die you can't modify as well is... bad.

I was starting to type out all the lists, but then I realized it's really loving boring and annoying to type out 22 different lists (that I also have to check for accuracy, because at least two people have changed theirs since I got the first ones). I'll do it later. I'm also still missing guts and bolts' submission, and apparently I don't have ro5s's written down anywhere even though I think he's sent it.

Played my first game in about a year last night. BroBots vs. a TIE Swarm. Should I just assume if I'm playing BroBots against a swarm that I'll never get to take an action? Between asteroids and ships zipping around everywhere that's a hell of a lot of things to avoid. My friend convinced me to drop Advanced Sensors from my ships right before we started, but drat if that wouldn't have made a huge difference.

Maybe everyone should build their list in https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/ and give you the permalink?

To be fair, any large ship with Engine upgrade is already hilariously fast. 4 forward plus boost covers as much distance as a small ship would if it could do an 8 straight maneuver.

Yeah, I steal pretty much all my lists. Speaking of which, I've been running various combos of 2 Jumpmans and 4LOM/Zuckuss against palp aces. I *can* win against palp aces as long as I make 0 mistakes, have really good rolls, and the other guy has a few bad rolls and makes a few mistakes. In one game, I was feeling pretty good when I took out Inq on turn 1. By the time I got OL and the shuttle down to half, I was down to half a Jumpmaster. I'm loathe to do it, but I guess I could pick up a 3rd Jumpmaster...

Intel agent, APLs, R5-P8, just try and get them to run into you or end up in torpedo arcs for your other ships to shoot. Or depending on points you might be able to just toss a couple intel agents on the regular torpedo JM5K's and have one try and block for the other and 4L0M/Zuckuss.
