I'm think of the same list but with TLT on Kavil, back to back 4 dice attacks really put the pain on aces, and just about anything really, the barrel roll is awesome for kavil as he can approach the action without pointing his arc towards it. Most of all though, with two other ships wanting to get range 1, I can see a third ship getting in their way a bit.

I've run a similar Kavil before, long ago, but before wave 8. Had a hard time fitting in enough hard hitting stuff to go with. Also had to use Engine Upgrade and not Vectored. I think the barrel roll will combo with the autoblaster turret much better, and it's cheaper so I can grab the bomb.

I think Vectored Thrusters is really good for Kavil, either for TLT or Autoblaster turrets. Though if you're using Bomb Loadout you clearly want to be using 'Genius' so you can move, drop your bomb then barrel roll to 'safety'* . Though missing out on those green hard 3's might be too much.

*Safety not guaranteed, you'll probably still be at range 1.

Edit: You'll definitely still be at range 1 looking at it, but do it anyway.

Someone on the league page is gushing about the smuggling compartment mod. They corrected someone else to say it's an extra slot so you still can get engine, then posted a bunch of crazy builds.

I broke it to him gently.

I was thinking that Smuggling Compartment might be useful on a cheaper YT 2400 build. Wild Space Fringer with SC/Glitter/APL is 34 points. OK as a blocker, but 2 dice primarys are just awful on expensive ships these days, and at 6 more point you can get a Lothal Rebel with Autoblaster turret and accuracy corrector. So, adequate but there are better ways to use points out there.

It might be useful on the unspoiled Resistance generic pilot for the YT 1300, if it has a 3 dice primary and is reasonably costed.

I really expect the generic falcon to be aggressively costed.

I will laugh long and hard if FFG overcorrects the new generic Falcon to 30-some points sans EPT and winds up right back with what prompted the aggressive Jumpmaster cost in the first place.

I would consider giving up engine on dash if smuggling compartment let you take an extra crew instead of the illicit as an option. Half the time the stuff being smuggled in scifi poo poo ends up being people anyway.

So I think I've decided on this for Nationals @ Gencon:

Any thoughts? Also, can someone post the typical Brobots list? I just need something one-off for my 2nd Launch Bay List. I'd accept any other solid, easy to play list that's different than imperial aces, as well.


Also, is anyone having issues with http://xwing-builder.co.uk/build not loading well or failing at a spinner?

Usually B/C.

Either HLC/AT/Crack/Glitterstimx2

or

Advanced Sensors/PTL/HLC/AT on one and Mangler on the other IIRC is the build.

Tournament I'm going to tomorrow is an interesting format. Pay $15, bring a 100 point list, and receive a random small ship booster pack. Use the ship and upgrades included in the blister to add 31 points to your list, so a max of 131 points. No other "outside" upgrades can be added to the list besides those in your booster pack. (if you open a Y Wing, hope you like Ion Cannon Turrets!)
Any small ship boosters are possible EXCEPT the TIE Fighter, TIE/fo, Syck, and Z-95 (because you'll struggle to even put 25 points on a ship out of those packs). The pack you open might not even match your faction.

So I'm thinking I should build around the idea that I will probably get "free" access to a blocker from my blister pack. I'm considering either some standard brobots, or a Ghost/Phantom/Biggs battleship (same as the guy in the Vancouver regional)

Actually, you could do that with FCS and Tactician if you wanted...

Or you could just use ACD and one of the other upgrades.

Kyle is actually still a viable alternative to Kanan. Kyle gives you more raw power that doesn't require an action but is way more predictable than Kanan. I would generally prefer Kanan because of the dial opening up but sometimes you need to be able to Focus/TL and still post dial maneuver.
