MULDER: (voiceover) I have lived with a fragile faith built on the ether of vague memories from an experience that I can neither prove nor explain. My T65s were good once, but they were taken from my meta, taken from the top tables by design choices I came to believe would one day be corrected... This belief sustained me, fueling a quest for a title card that was as elusive as the top table itself. To believe as passionately as I did was not without sacrifice, but I always accepted the risks... to my ships, my MOV, my reputation...to fun itself....

I have this urge to try and make relatively good or fun T70 lists. Not sure how this would be but I'd fly Jess and Ello together with Snap being a flanker. He goal is to utilize the T-Rolls to make a crazy killyramid with Jess hopefully getting in some hurt with the plasma torpedoes. Trip T70s (100) Ello Asty (35) - T-70 X-Wing Swarm Tactics (2), R2 Astromech (1), Vectored Thrusters (2) "Snap" Wexley (34) - T-70 X-Wing Push The Limit (3), R2 Astromech (1), Vectored Thrusters (2) Jess Pava (31) - T-70 X-Wing Plasma Torpedoes (3), BB-8 (2), Primed Thrusters (1), Guidance Chips (0)

I've had really good luck with Red Squad Vets carrying a either a standard R2/Targeting Astromech and Predator, then whatever squadron leader you're happy with. 2 Red Squad Vets set up with Targeting Astros and Predator leaves 38 points to spare,

At the very least, cut the Torps and the Thrusters for Pattern Analyzers, probably on Jess and Snap. I actually like Snap with Pattern and Targeting Astromech for the dreamy three action T-Roll turns.

I actually like the idea of Vectored Thrusters on Snap. I'd go with this build: "Snap" Wexley (28) Veteran Instincts (1) Targeting Astromech (2) Pattern Analyzer (2) Vectored Thrusters (2) Black One (1) Total: 36

Targeting Astro and PA let you T-Roll, get a free TL, use Snap's free Boost and then take your actual Action, which in this case is a Focus OR a Barrel Roll. That owns pretty hard.

No they obviously do, they're just waiting for the most marketable time to do it again (I'm sure they saw Rebel Transport as a T65 product and Integrated Astro as another bump). But what's strange is that Rogue One was the time to do it. I'd still bet on a Heroes of Scarif X/Y box to come. S-foil double card and a lot of squadron titles. Same for Y. Both have their title slots open and FFG is title crazy lately. Poor E-wings though

Nah, the problem with releasing a set timed alongside Rogue One is that they don't have any more idea of what's in the movie than we do and they're developing the release on a compressed schedule, and you end up with stuff like Poe only having PS8 and the U-Wing being a mish-mash of shelved ideas lumped together. It's not for nothing that Heroes of the Rebellion came out nearly a year after Episode VII did and was an incredibly strong expansion, after all.

It might actually be an interesting ~design space~ to make his pilot text pure drawback but do something like give him an unusually high pilot skill and maybe EPT slot for Rookie Pilot points.

Didn't the designers say in an interview that Integrated Astromech wasn't the T-65 fix, but that they were going to see how it landed and address it again if needed? There's got to be more coming, design cycles just take forever on these things. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a surprise release to tie in with The Last Jedi General Battuta posted:I don't mean he's better in a group, I mean he rerolls hits/evades if he wanders off. This is a good idea, like Vader crew on a TIE Phantom.

This would be a fun pilot ability: When attacking or defending, you must change one blank to [hit] or [evade] for each friendly ship at range 1. Then, for each enemy ship at range 1, you must cancel one [hit] or [evade] result.

Honestly it's going to take some astromech pack to help the T-65s. Generic but properly costed units that give barrel rolls, boosts, or certain green maneuvers. Nah I bet there will be a T-85 X-Wing in TLJ and then there will be a condition card that requires a squad list to have a T-65, T-70, and T-85 with a ship in arc of all 3 for a super move.

Who doesn't have enough Y-Wings already? I would rather the T65/Y-Wing buffpack include another E-Wing model and contain things like a point reduction buff for it or something.

They're probably "encouraged" to focus on getting new ships out to tie-in with the new movies before putting out fixes for old ships.

Yeah but then we get wave 11 which is all weird nonsense. It does seem totally believable that a rogue one pack with actual named pilots from the movie will be coming out around Christmas this year or something though.

I finally drank the Miranda kool-aid and gave her a try. Had a poo poo ton of fun. I wanted to use her with something tanky as gently caress that could also hit hard. I love the Ghost but once it starts getting 2, 3 or 4 crits on it, it becomes a flaming dumpster fire. I thought I would try Chewie and he was a beast. I won the two matches I played last night at my local game store with this list: Miranda Doni (48) -Advanced Slam -Thermal Detonators -Cluster Mines -Sabine Wren -Extra Munitions -Twin Laser Turret Chewbacca (52) -Smuggling Compartment -Hull Upgrade -Sloop Title -Rage -Inspiring Recruit -Kanan -Black Market Slicer Tools

Ever since the Season 3 finale and Season 4 trailer for Rebels, I hope we get a Kallus Rebel crew card. Complete with sexy new hairstyle. Hell, on that note, I hope Hera gets a proper X-wing pilot card. Hera Syndulla (23) Once per round, when a friendly ship reveals a red maneuver at range 1-3, you may assign it a Focus token. Total: 23

Lone Wolf/Rey Dash is also a great buddy for Miranda. Play it right, and you can split your ships so that you're still triggering Lone Wolf, but you're both firing on the same target at range 3. That's the sweet spot. If they go for Dash, Dash sprints away. If they go for Miranda, Miranda poops out a bunch of bombs and then regens.

TIEs with Starviper Title, x7 Title, and Chaardan Refit would cost, uh, 5 points each. Call that 8 points to bump them up to Black Squadrons with crack shot. So let's do 11 of those with Howlrunner with the same setup.

I'm assuming they probably still use the base list building rules otherwise just put all the upgrades onto Dash, PS infinity. If you're at UKGE this weekend, look me up I'll be wearing this ludicrous getup this year:  And not actually running Fenn at all >.<
