So, I finally got a TIE F/O. Now, I have a tournament on the 14th. I doubt I'll get a chance to play before then (Crazy semester and poo poo) and therefore I am debating two lists.

First, of course, is a triple X, which I am intimately familiar with, to the point it is my trademark here.

Wes Janson (32)
X-Wing (29), R3-A2 (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Wedge Antilles (33)
X-Wing (29), R3 Astromech (2), Juke (2), Integrated Astromech (0)

Luke Skywalker (34)
X-Wing (28), R2-D2 (4), Lone Wolf (2)
99 points, and I've heard good things from strobe about Juke/R3.

Now the other list, is something I never flew before. It's imperial too. But, I wanna try it out, especially since I am getting a little bored of triple X. Don't have Raider or Imperial Vets so imp hotness is a no go.


Pilots
------

The Inquisitor (31)
TIE Advanced Prototype (25), Push the Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

“Whisper” (43)
TIE Phantom (32), Hotshot Co-pilot (4), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

“Omega Leader” (26)
TIE/fo Fighter (21), Comm Relay (3), Juke (2)

Whisper pretty much NEEDS to go first against other PS9s. Without a bid, you can't guarantee that.

Intel Agent and Agent Kallus are both good choices if you want the bid.

If you decide you don't want the bid, consider using intel agent on Whisper and adding prockets to Quiz. Not hard to wipe something off the board turn 1 with Whisper + and a set of prockets.

Target priority against Ryad/Vessery/Palp or something else should be kill Ryad first, right?

We just had a 22 player event on Monday. First place was Dengaroo, 2nd place was a list I hadn't seen before. Warden Squadron Pilot + HotCop and 3 TLT Y Wings. HotCop + turrets got smoked after killing Manaroo and leaving Dengar with just 2 hull.
3rd place was brobots, and 4th was 2 x7 Defenders and a TIE Bomber

The reason Fat Han shits all over Whisper is because hes advantaged in either init situation.

Vessery is always last. Depending on what you're flying, you may need to kill Palp first.

Either way, Vessery is much less dangerous once Ryad is gone and can't feed him locks.

Stay off my turf. :colbert:

EDIT: Also put Integrated on Luke because there's no point in keeping R2 around if the hit would kill you in the first place, and you might get another round of shooting out of it.

We've been having this conversation for a while. I always attribute it to you, but I've been triple x running since IA came out

But, if I read you right, you're saying the TIE aces?


(And yes, Luke has IA. That was just a Copy-Paste Error)

Strobe posted:

Hands up who has flown or flown against more than one X-wing in a list in the last six months? Since Scum came out, complete with useful Y-wings and things that aren't Interceptors, I'm going to try an XXX list.

Luke Skywalker (28)
R2-D2 (4)
Veteran Instincts (1)

Wes Jansen (29)
Veteran Instincts (1)

Wedge Antilles (29)
Predator (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Total: 99 points.

Hoping that 10/10/9 skill will help out with keeping arc dodgers honest, and that three X-wings still hits like a truck.

Also yes I'm saying the TIE Aces. I'm really interested to see how a Phantom performs running Hotshot Co-Pilot, since that sounds like a defensive juggernaut.

The meta here usually runs FCS on the shuttle and feed the locks that way.

It almost always feels like you need to rush the shuttle.

In my experience, the Palp Defender mirror match often goes to time with only the shuttle dying. Putting anything extra on the shuttle means you lose on points.

Nah I think they meant 'here' as in where they live, rather than on SA. (Although that could just be me misinterpreting things, as I am quite tired right now..)

No idea, I had no idea it was even going on. If I had known I would have gone down for it. FFG is really poo poo about posting AU regionals on their list. I am on 3 AU X-wing groups too and nothing was posted.


Really would like to know when the NSW, QLD and Vic ones are running this year.

I generally use Yet Another Squad Builder to make lists and then print them off. The lists will have all the upgrades and all the text from them.

If you're doing a Rebel squad with a T-70 and an A-Wing, I suggest starting with Jake Farrell and Poe Dameron and going from there.

Not my favorite ship combination, but if those three ships were my option (but cards were unlimited) then I'd probably do this:

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Lone Wolf (2)
R5-P9 (3)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
Autothrusters (2)

Jake Farrell (24)
Push the Limit (3)
Proton Rockets (3)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Tactician (2)
B-Wing/E2 (1)

Yeah, I should be there too. Should probably unpack my bags and check that I actually packed my tokens and rulers and stuff.

Hope their aircon is up to the task.
