Ha, well good for me. I just bought the TIE Advanced and Imperial Aces expansions. Already toying with ideas of how to build out all 5 TIEs, now I just need to start actually playing...

Speaking of TIE Advanced. What happens to your dices with Accuracy Corrector + Adv. Targeting Computer? 2 hits or 2hits + crit?

Its making me consider Determination on RAC.

Just gunner + Hotcop with old damage deck. PS 0 would be a bummer though as well as losing ept...

Why are people saying Kylo hurts defenders and kills soontir lol you still have to land a crit after the condition. What it hurts most is low agility ships and Regen poe, and is nasty on corran.

I don't think there are any shops that can legally use that combination but as I recall you are unable to further modify dice after accuracy corrector so it would be either 2 hits (AC) or roll + crit (ATC) at your choice.

Ghostly Gramps Shuttle, just jam Kylo (crew or pilot) and Vader on same ship.

2 hits. You cannot use ATC after AC and if you use it before, AC would cancel it. That being said, no ship has 2 systems yet.

Probably ~3.

Kylo Ren piloting the Upsilon
Rebel Captive (Han Solo pictured, or just put Han Solo the crew on there)
Your choice of Skywalkers Leia, Luke, Vader, etc

You can do it in-faction even with RebCap/Vader on the Upsilon. Call it the Awkward Family Outing.

Three. Unless you can find a ship that holds more than that.

Han Solo in the Falcon with Kylo and Leia.
Rey in the Falcon with Luke and Kylo (maybe).
Luke, Leia, Kylo in the Hound's Tooth.

Edit: Assuming no restrictions whatsoever; Han flying the Hound's Tooth with TIE Shuttle title. Luke, Leia, Rey (rumored), Kylo, Vader.

Sure, but that ship is going to be a target #1. If you want to have them both on same ship, you have only Tie Shuttle, Lambda, Upsilon, and Decimator to choose from. Perhaps something like this?

Starkiller Base Pilot (30)
Darth Vader (3)
Kylo Ren (3)
Kylo Ren's Shuttle (2)

"Omega Leader" (21)
Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)

Countess Ryad (34)
Push the Limit (3)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Total: 100

Or perhaps Decimator + Upsilon... too janky?

I would think you need something like Fenn Rau to punish anyone that goes after your emo shuttle. On the Imp side, maybe Soontir... but there are a lot of hazards for Soontir these days... maybe a Phantom?

Kylo in a Whisper list is probably REALLY GOOD because you can hand out PS0 crits to those pilots who shoot before Whisper does.

Like this variant on the old Mynock Special:

Or hell, put Kylo on a cheap TIE shuttle and take two full-fledged aces

I'm sure it's been discussed before but: what's the highest amount of attack dice you could throw in a single turn, assuming everything went right? I mean every one of your ships in the game.

I think it's 8 for a single ship. It's janky as hell. Miranda or Nora with Adv Proton Torps and Finn crew. Jan Ors piloting a HWK, and Shara somewhere on the field to give a second lock for some re-rolls on the APT/finn combo.

Add upgrades to taste/make it work.

For the ENTIRE list, it's somewhere around 24 from a Z95 swarm all with ordnance.

Yeah, I mean the entire squad in one round. There are at least two ways to get eight dice right now, probably more. Thug Life feels like cheating since those 24 dice can't translate to 24 damage.

Yeah if you discount TLTs, I think it's gonna be mid 20s. I see several ways to get to 24 regular red dice.

101 points would allow you to get 7 Academy Pilots and 1 Black Squadron with Swarm Leader for 26. There's probably a 2 point EPT that could help though.

You had it, probably. Six Z-95s with Clusters gets to 36 dice and 36 potential damage.

NuChewie and Gunner with four Zs is theoretically capable of rolling 36 attack dice in one round if God himself smiles on your matchup.

Comedy option: that in a mirror match can chain off of each other for 72 dice rolled in a single combat phase, from primary weapons only.
