I just watched the top 8 match from that Australia stream. Triple Imperial Aces (Vader/Whisper/Omega Leader) vs Miranda + 2 Ys Imperial player took out both Ys at the cost of 2 health on OL. Chased Miranda into a corner. Two turns later, Whisper was dead (Connor Net + Sabine + TLTs), Omega Leader was dead (Connor Net), and Vader was chasing a full health Miranda who took him out handily. Turns out that bombs are crazy good when there's literally nowhere you can go to avoid them. It was beautifully flown by the Miranda player.

Honestly you're lucky the Y's didn't get more because that's not a list with autothrusters at all.

Just got back from Regionals here in Vic. Went 4-2 and finished 16th with Carnor and two Juke Defenders. Two of my my matches were streamed, round 5 and 6, and they should all be going up on YouTube so you can all give me poo poo for my bad decisions.ConfusedUs posted:I just watched the top 8 match from that Australia stream. The Miranda player is a friend of mine, he lost his top 4 game by a single dice roll. Miranda is on one hull and it's down to his second TLT shot vs a 1 hull dash with a target lock. 2 focus results and a blank and he rerolls it into 3 focuses. My other friend ended up winning the whole thing though. If anyone was there we were the ones walking around in the Bantha Squadron t-shirts.

I saw one of your games(against palp defenders w/pred), very well done. Carnor poops all over defenders not just with his ability but by being the highest PS ship on the board with two reposition moves.

I never use the beam but the barrel roll is amazing. I started with K4 but zuck never needs the lock and Fen just takes his own unless he's in a dire situation where he somehow needs more than two focuses. Manaroo provides more damage overall by blocking to deny actions and feedback array.

A lot of people seem to be running Dash again. Im curious if its a new build/wingman or if theyre just list dodging palp defenders all day.

I've been thinking about the Striker a lot lately and I think that Countdown is the hidden gem of the release. The main problem with the Striker is that it's going to die horribly due to lack of green dice, lack of shields, and lack of autothrusters. Countdown does a good job of solving the survivability problems and if you throw Mk. II on there can shed the stress pretty easily, but even without it you can still scoot around like crazy and drop 3/4 red dice and/or block and generally be annoying. Really it's probably good game balance wise that Countdown doesn't have an EPT because that would be nasty. Also, I think Lightweight Frame is overcosted for what it does.

I've played that Dash/Norra list a handful of times, and it's a big reason that I don't think ARCs are competitive without the synergy you get in the Norra/Shara/Biggs list. Being able to stack up those Shara TLs and pass them around makes Norra hit like a hammer, and Biggs gives them survivability they don't get with Dash. Otherwise, the ARC dies really fast.

A Syck using the title for a one use torp and the extra hull point.  It's cheaper than a Y-wing by 2 points, which is the next least expensive way to destroy obstacles.

Hey all, I've been tossing up some different loadouts for the JumpMaster and Shadow Caster since buying the SC for this list the other week, and what I'm currently leaning ever so slightly towards is the following:quote:Dengar — JumpMaster 5000 33 So basically Ketsu only cares about being in range one of the enemy (had to drop Inertial Dampeners and my bid so that I could get EU), while Dengar gets a TL whenever he can to use the next turn/later to fire his torps, then just rages out every turn (clearing both stress tokens the following move, with IR) for a focus and effectively a free TL whenever he attacks. Not 100% sold on it though, mostly because it hits 100pts dead-on. I'm very tempted to just ditch the torps, then give Ketsu Inertial Dampeners and/or BMST, but it's hard to say. So yeah, would any of you be able to offer opinions/feedback on it, by any chance? I'm looking to try it out on Tuesday night and potentially take it (or a variant - I was also weighing up using R4+RecSpec or unhinged+K4 with a different EPT) up as my 'main' list, as I haven't really had one in ages. EDIT: Yeeaah, I think ditching PT and GC to give Ketsu ID and BMST is a better idea for general-purpose use of the list, at this stage.

Partybus Bossk with VI and Clusters should be extremely reliable at Killin Stuff for a single round. All it takes it one crit to sneak through from each shot (which with zuckuss/4LOM/K4/Chimps you'll be able to get pretty reliably) and you're doing 4 damage. And PTL Fenn is never going to be bad. The Scyk doesn't seem to add much though.

That being said, i'm not sure a non-infinite-focus Dengar is going to work without being able to reposition. I say this as someone who also runs a Ketsu/Dengar list. Dengar (33) Push the Limit (3) K4 Security Droid (3) Engine Upgrade (4) Punishing One (12) Ketsu Onyo (38) Veteran Instincts (1) K4 Security Droid (3) Shadow Caster (3) Total: 100

K4 makes a lot more sense than Dengar on this loadout. I was assuming Dengar. Suddenly I'm not as surprised by its effectiveness.

I decided to paint the face to the side because the front of the ship unfortunately has a giant semicircle which makes it look like a smiling anime face if I were to put it dead center. I will probably need to use some pale skin color to make the mouth stand out more. Also gaze at my phallic dew bottles and rudimentary bunny. Freehanding was never my strong suit and I preferred to do simple curvy patterns (squiggly lines) on capes or other larger surface areas to cover that deficiency. Some top tier wangs itt.
