U-Wing. Almost bought one when I made my first big purchase, so glad I swapped it for Imp Vets when I picked up my order.

Has the​ U-wing been badly received? I don't have one but I've made a few lists with them.

It's a lambda shuttle but with nothing interesting to put on it. The 0-K maneuver is interesting in theory but doesn't actually do much.

The 0-K is fun, but pretty awkward to set up. I do want to try running a list with Daredevil, Hera, and Advanced Sensors on Cassian sometime, as it would allow you to pull the 0-K without having to flip the title the turn beforehand, but at 34 points (38 with EU to avoid killing yourself with Daredevil), it's a very expensive gimmick.

I added the U-wing to "cool ships we could've had instead of the K-wing that's sitting in the box instead of showing off all its painted glory on the table at high-level competitive events." :mad: The ship's look owns.

U-wings are just big based B-wings. They're not good for the same reason. When or if super efficiency/low PS ever becomes a thing again they might see play. As it is therea no rebel crew good enough to justify taking it as a support ship.

It's a rebel Lambda but Rebels don't have any crew that make it worth bringing a Lambda, and it doesn't have the dial to do actual dogfighting.

Spamming four of them with FCS might be a workable list but I doubt it.

Dump the AP, tool up RAC with Engine Upgrade, Gunner, VI. RAC is an arc dodger.

I'm having hella fun with OL again now - running him alongside Quickdraw and Backdraft both with FCS and Targetting Synchroniser. Shared TL is GOOD.

Do the shared TLs trigger OL's ability? Or do they just open up more opportunities for modified attacks?

So I'm thinking of running this list at my local store League later today. I've been playing a lot of K and Y lists but kind of want to fly something a little more hands on.

E-Wing: •Corran Horn (44)
Juke (2)
Accuracy Corrector (3)
•R2-D2 (4)

T-70 X-Wing: •"Snap" Wexley (35)
Push the Limit (3)
•BB-8 (2)
Pattern Analyzer (2)

Z-95 Headhunter: •Lieutenant Blount (21)
Wired (1)
Adv. Homing Missiles (3)

Total: 100/100

Hopefully it won't get blown away too quickly!

From what I've seen, it only applies to ordnance that requires a target lock to fire. Doesn't give re-rolls, or trip the pilot abilities of OA/OL.

You're correct about it not interacting with OL's ability but target synchronizer does allow other ships to spend your target lock to reroll attack dice. Pg 22 of the FAQ

The latter. But having rerolls on most attacks from BD and QD's Synchronisers is really neat.

The real pro move is to use Major Stridan with systems operator and targeting sync to allow OL to take a target lock, TL the target himself, OL focuses, and with a banked evade gets to renew a target lock and fire at the target with rerollable dice every turn. :mrgw:

Independent ships that are fine on their own but with some slight synergy with other ships. This game is the almost the polar opposite of games like Warmachine and Infinity, which use the concept of linked/combo teams to win the game.

e: I also choose ships that look interesting to paint and look flashy on the table. Big ships are much better for that.

I usually start with a trick I want to try out or a combination of ships I want to use.

Then ask how it deals with the big meta lists.

Then ask is it fun, and develop the questions it answers by playing it.

I start with X-wings, then figure out how to get the most value out of the points as I possibly can because they need every tiny bit to be competitive. This manifested itself most recently in the form of a Sympathizer with HotCop and Rey (high HP, primary weapon turret, action economy) that helps cover their weaknesses, and in doing so let me optimize the X-wings I did have to survive high alpha.

Basically I'm playing Rebel Efficiency, which hasn't been en vogue since wave 3. :v: it definitely helps that it got nerfed precisely gently caress all in the new FAQ, so it's only getting better.

But it always starts with X-wings.

Some guy brought six naked HWKs (yes, no upgrades) to the Saturday Hangar Bay and almost won his game against a RAC/Vader list. RAC got melted quickly by the HWKs' one die primary weapon attacks leaving Vader to fend for himself. Eventually it came down to a 1 HP Vader against two crippled HWKs. Just as time was called Vader killed one of the HWKs, securing him the win. Had he missed, the two of them would have gone to Final Salvo since it would've been 36 pt Vader against 32 pts worth of HWKs with a 4 pt initiative bid.
