I thought the Pulsar Skate was supposed to look like a manta ray. That's not what I pictured.

Well I feel they did great with the Raider, so I feel its time FFG just makes new poo poo for Scum. Probably going Mando is the right direction, both because a lot of people are into them, and because the StarViper rules design wise.

Chemmy over Finster 64-0 (we kept time!) I was trying to set up a bump early and guessed the wrong side, but Soontir ran into my other ship over there and ate a Proton Rocket real early. From there we traded shots and I lost the shields on Ryad and my Inquisitor, but Omega Leader was untouched and I ground down the shuttle. As we ended Finster was making a valiant stand with his Ryad who was down to two hull. This asteroid collision also happened, as ConfusedUs put it "right on the middle finger of that rock".

Ya they need to either make up their own, commission one or get Disney to create one. Alternatively they could just wait it out until something cool gets made for Rebels or use something that shows up in Rogue One since nobody is chomping at the bit for more Epic.

My buddies and I are doing a thing where we each build a squadron from each faction and then we choose which squad our opponent will play against us.I don't want to go whole-ham meta by bringing stuff like Palp-Aces, Chirpy/Whisper, or Triple Scout. I've settled on my Imperial and Rebel lists, but don't know where to go with scum. I've come up with this so far: I don't know what I'm doing with scum posted:Contracted Scout (34) I don't know where to go from here at all. Nothing looks good when I plug it into a builder. Help me goons. Also, if it matters, here's the Imperial and Rebel lists I've settled on: Dumb Rebel List posted:Blue Squadron Novice (25) x 4 Empire's Bargain Basement posted:The Inquisitor (28)

Just got into this game and played my first match ever tonight. Had a ton of fun trying to re-create the b-wing's debut from the Rebels cartoon. Thought I did an OK job predicting enemy flight paths by the end. Did a less great job avoiding asteroids. Thought I was pretty hot stuff when I blocked my opponent's Corran, only to remember he wasn't able to attack that turn thanks to his double tap. We had to call it early, but considering he flew Poe clean off the table I was in a pretty good position for a win.

I really like the look of this list: TAP/VESSERY 99 points PILOTS Baron of the Empire (21) x 3 TIE Advanced Prototype (19), Crack Shot (1), TIE/v1 (1) Colonel Vessery (36) TIE Defender (35), Tractor beam (1), TIE/D (0) The extra point can be used either on VI or TIE Mk II for Vessery. Synergies well: the Barons with crackshot are an actual threat beyond just using the tractor beam on them, TIE/v1 works nicely because you want those TLs for Vessery anyway, and you get the boost of the Barons being a bit more survivable. I think this will probably work better than 3 or 4 FOs when Imp Vets comes out. Also Tractor + Crack Shot is just nasty as hell.

thespaceinvader posted:So has everyone registered their Yavin lists? I still need to do that. I've been umming and erring over whether to take off Extra Munitions from my Bomber for a 2pt initiative bid, but I think I'm honestly going to stick with the following: Juno Eclipse (30) TIE Advanced (28), TIE/x1 (0), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Targeting Computer (5) Gamma Squadron Pilot (26) TIE Bomber (18), Proton Torpedoes (4), Extra Munitions (2), Seismic Charges (2), Guidance Chips (0) Avenger Squadron Pilot (22) x 2 TIE Interceptor (20), Autothrusters (2) The lack of initiative bid will hurt against opponents who are really depending on the PS10, but a bid of 2 probably wouldn't help against them anyway. I'm not going to place highly, but that was never going to happen anyway. Juno is pretty much my bag as far as ace hunters go, and I've had decent success with it in my four-person meta, while still being fun to play. Plus, it has the added advantage of being Not A Popular List, so I know the person across the table will probably like seeing it rather than the usual suspects. The sillier aspect of the trip is going to be that I'm going to commute in. This is a terrible plan, but will save me money and Birmingham is only an hour up the M40, so hey.

Ghost/Shuttle/Z/Z in some configuration. Coincidentally, I learned that TTS chugs hard while spectating X-Wing for some reason. Some Numbers may have to do the recording when we start casting stuff.

He was running a Lothal with Enhanced Deflectors, AB, Zeb, Engine, and title, Ezra in the Phantom with Hera, Wired, and... something else, and then two Bandits with Concussions and Guidance Chips. I think Enhanced Deflectors is the thing that hurt me most, because it blocked no fewer than two crits that might have made a significant difference. As was, neither Z fired, but Wes wasn't able to actually shoot down the second one, and Luke's evades went cold on the last turn in the face of eight hits. Should have expected that one, since Wedge rolled 10 consecutive evades to start the game.

Anyone ever play epic? I have the Raider and Gozanti, and want to get some use out of them. Any good load outs for those? Any other recommendations for imperial epic play? Assume I have a boatload of TIEs, three interceptors, and 1-2 of every other small imperial ship. One shuttle and one Decimator

ConfusedUs posted:Anyone ever play epic? I have the Raider and Gozanti, and want to get some use out of them. Honestly? I wouldn't, epic takes... a very long time. The epic ships are pretty much just bad, outside of like 250 rebel corvette builds that are janky. If you want to win as imperials, I'd just take as many tie fighters as you can fit into a list (12x12 for 144, 10 fos for 150?). Just for fun, take whatever! I played 7 advanced and a raider, it was pretty fun, but mostly bad. For the raider, the only secondary weapon worth having is single turbolasers. Just max out on those and bring jonus and the mod that gives extra energy or a reinforce token. Then bring ships that can do damage to higher agility ships. For the corvette, you still only want single turbolasers, but you want to bring esege next to with a recon spec to use the focus tokens, as well as roark to shoot your bullshit at ps12. You want weapons engineer and sensor teams, as well as either gunner or luke skywalker. Basically just blow your load, miss the last single turbolaser shot on purpose to get another 5 dice primary with mini focus from luke. It's devastating, and also like 200 points. You will legitimately PS kill almost half of an epic list in two rounds of shooting with this. Lastly, 12 tlts or 6 uboats + 4 tlts. Epic pretty much always devolves into stupid jank, so I wouldn't bother trying to play "competitively".
