The initial run of Lambas had issues with the wings refusing to fold down all the way, they did eventually get it sorted.

I have the first run lambda and it's fine. They wouldn't swing down all the way initially but use it enough like I have with imp aces and it loosens up for full ROM.

I would greatly enjoy having a swing-wing ship in x-wing. would like it to look more like an f-14 but I could just paint one in maverick's colors

I still want to run it, but these last couple weeks have been murder and I only pulled into Indianapolis for GenCon like three hours ago (and promptly had a team meeting for games tomorrow). This weekend is going to be loving nuts so league is on hold for the moment. Sorry.

Is it going to gently caress you /everyone else if I drop out at this point? My heart just isn't in it right now and I've taken on way too much stuff recently. If it would end up being a problem I'll power through it.

What's the best wingman for Dash now? Is it Corran or a Ghost of some kind? Going to put in a concentrated effort when league starts again next week at the FLGS.

People seem to fly them with a ghost, because you can create exclusion zones and with Hera on board (crew), you can just constantly k-turn whenever you want.

Shadowcaster has 3 sharp green :eyepop:

lol @ anyone that, when they heard that the ARC had 6 green at speed 1/2, thought it meant that straights/banks/sharps.

Protectorate is a A-Wing/Inties dial with t-rolls

I have been doing pretty ok with Lothal Rebel with Accuracy Corrector and autoblaster for two hits at range 1 for pesky aces, plasma torpedoes to fire out the rear if I need to, Hera and Zeb crew.

I usually send my Ghost smashing in as close to them as possible while Dash creeps up the side to get behind. With two large base ships moving forward so quick, it has caught a few players off guard. No idea if this is a good strategy but it has seemed to work ok for me and it is a lot of fun to play.

Protectorate dial is an FO with t-rolls instead of s-loops. It's not as good as the Intie/A-Wing: not having a green 4 forward (or 5 forward when compared to the A-Wing), means that it is really vulnerable to getting into roadblocks if it is being used as a PtL platform.

A-Wing still best dial in game :woop:

How long was it between Gencon and the release of wave 7 last year? I know there was some time to allow people to try and sell YV-666s for $70 on eBay.

It's still a great dial though. Like, yeah, not having the faster straights hurts a little, but the turns are way more important to not getting blocked, and the title rewards getting close in anyway. Same as for any ace, swarms/blocking are the scariest thing for it, but you can *usually* play around that. I like it a lot.

A-Wing is best wing though.

A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.

Wow, you would think they would've learned their lesson about large ship dials after the Jumpmaster.

BMST is some scary anti-ace technology. Also anti Dengaroo because lol.

It turns any ship with an illicit slot into Wampa's sketchy cousin. Losing your action for a "maybe" is rough, but I can see a Binyare pilot with BMST becoming a standard add for Scum builds.

I like the BMST since lol fel but more importantly, it doesn't affect Ink as much. Either stay at range 3 to PTL or stay at range 1-2 with TL/evade since that's fine too. I can't wait to paint that disco ball. Though BMST will probably be the replacement to feedback on a bumper scout. :)
