Funny to see the x-wing issues with others. There is a guy in my meta that almost always runs 3 x-wings and does really well with them.

Right now he should be trying to figure out the Punisher. I doubt he'll keep bringing Triple Interceptors when he gets TIE/fo and AdvPro next month.

Chemmy posted:Are you friends with Strobe? I have actually stopped running XXX, because it's practically DOA against Fenn plus Torp Scouts and Miranda/Dash/Ghost <Pick two>. It requires not only flying a flawless game but also rolling lights out to even come close against an opponent that's even halfway competent at the game. Sometimes that's still not even possible. Getting shots with every ship every turn, rolling three blanks over the course of an entire game, and still losing is loving frustrating.

Had some close calls with my stuff when one of them gets overwhelmed. Haha, what's up plays X-Wing with kids buddy. I have one autistic player but he's very high-functioning. When he flies he basically just circles the edge of the board and takes range 3 shots because he has an absolute horror of someone getting behind/beside him. He also gets very excited anytime anyone rolls dice that could potentially result in someone blowing up. Funny story, first time he played he flew up the board, never turned in, and just flew right the gently caress off the opposite edge, just straight-lined right across the board and out of play. Upon getting to lay down the movement template showing he was going off the board he smiled hugely, hissed like a lizard, and said, "Escaped!" He considered himself to have won the game because "everyone else is gonna die and I flew off." I guess he's kinda right?

Yeah I don't get why people get all excited for it. Some people go nuts and waste tons of money getting them made. Nerds being nerds I guess. Just seems pathetic since most of the people who want it probably never even played the game it came from. Did love blowing them up back in the day.

Snagged an Auzituck, Scuurg, and 2 TIE Aggressors. Haven't opened them yet, saving them for tomorrow. Played against two people tonight: One with an all TIE Aggressor list (4 Sienar Specialists, each with Synced Turret, Lightweight Frame, and Unguided Rockets), and one with an all Scuurg list. Used this list against both: "Blue Ace" (27) R2-D6 (1) Primed Thrusters (1) Push the Limit (3) Autothrusters (2) Corran Horn (35) Push the Limit (3) Fire-Control System (2) R5-P9 (3) Gemmer Sojan (22) Chardaan Refit (-2) Crack Shot (1) Autothrusters (2) A-Wing Test Pilot (0) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder Won against the all Aggressor list; he got Blue Ace down to 1 hull, and Corran ran away to regenerate shields. The Synced turret is OK, but his rerolls just didn't work out for him. Ended up destroying all 4 of his ships with no losses. The Scuurg list... ho boy. That Minefield Mapper is BRUTAL. It effectively allows you to control which side of the field you're going to play on, especially if you wedge Cluster Mines and Prox Mines into all the nooks and crannies between asteroids. He was able to get all of his Scuurgs in close, and one had an Autoblaster turret that was pretty gross in close quarters. Managed to destroy one Scuurg before I lost Corran to a bomblet, Blue Ace to a Dorsal turret, and Gemmer to a Range 1 primary attack.

 I had a really fun time with this list tonight: Wedge Antilles (29) Adaptability (0) Proton Torpedoes (4) R2-D2 (4) Guidance Chips (0) Horton Salm (25) Twin Laser Turret (6) Extra Munitions (2) Plasma Torpedoes (3) R2-D6 (1) Veteran Instincts (1) Guidance Chips (0) Airen Cracken (19) Veteran Instincts (1) Homing Missiles (5) Guidance Chips (0) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder 3 Rebels with ordnance, firing at PS10 fully modded. It works really great. The idea is that you have all 3 close together, and are taking the first shots on the joust at range 2 or 3. Each ship has a target lock that they got that round, hopefully all on the same ship. Cracken fires first with Homing Missile, which doesn't require him to spend a target lock, so you've got target lock and chips for mods. Expected damage of 3.7, with ~75% chance of showing a combo of 4 hits/crits. Hopefully this does damage, but even if it just strips tokens that's OK too. Then with Cracken's ability, you have Horton take a focus action. He fires next, spending his target lock to fire the plasma torp. Now you get rerolls of all your blanks with Horton, and a focus token, AND guidance chips. You've got a 98% to show a combo of 4 hits/crits, so you're likely to hit anything you're shooting at, giving damage plus stripping a shield. Next is Wedge. Wedge is shooting at the same target. Wedge is shooting at a -1 agility ship with a proton torpedo, with a free focus result to crit plus a free blank/focus to crit from guidance chips. Wedge has an expected damage of 3.5, and one of them is definitely a crit, which is hopefully going through to hull. Then hopefully, next round of shooting Wedge and Cracken can double-team and kill that ship (with a focus+TL onto Wedge  ), and Horton can either start setting up the next torpedo on the next target or just buzz around shooting stupidly accurate TLT shots, rerolling all the blanks.It was gnarly and fun. Took Norra down to 1 hull with 2 crits on her in the first joust at the cost of 2 Cracken shields and 1 Horton shield (thx Dash) I played my first game that night against Fenn/Tel/N'dru with a 2 SF list plus Predator Kestal. If Kestal is in TLT range of Fenn, he can put at least 1 damage on Fenn every round pretty reliably. It's fantastic

I saw that PS10 list on reddit. It's basically the best alpha strike in the game, tempered by the fact that post joust it kinda sucks, and well flown Triple jumps will ruin its day nine times out of 10. Tempted to just whip it out at the store champ tomorrow instead of dash Miranda.

Yeah, I get the feeling that if you lose Horton early (even after a good trade), pretty much any remaining list is not going to suffer against Wedge and a Z. If Horton had an EPT I'd put a regen droid on him instead

Well I one shot a Tie Defender/D with a Z-95 tonight. Caused him to bump and he rolled all eyes. It will never happen again but when cruise missiles hit that sweet spot it's friggin brutal. TL/Focus and Chips just make it so drat accurate for a 6 die shot.

My bet is N'dru for the extra dice. I've got a list doing the same I want to try. e: this seems dumb too. Auzituck Gunship: · Lowhhrick (28) · Selflessness (1) · Experimental Interface (3) · Jan Ors (2) · Jyn Erso (2) X-Wing: · Biggs Darklighter (25) · R2-D2 (4) Integrated Astromech (0) ARC-170: · Shara Bey (28) Draw Their Fire (1) · M9-G8 (3) Weapons Engineer (3) Alliance Overhaul (0) -- TOTAL ------- 100p. -- You could swap Jan onto Shara and take Kanan on Lowhhrick if turning around proves to be a problem but you lose some offensive and defensive rerolls.

I guess I just don't see it. Like, people around here use the Jumpmaster, and when I see it (unless it's Dengar) I sort of shrug and be all 'okay'. I've never had trouble against it, be it triple bumpmastre, or triple missles, or whatever. But i really dislike bombs. I understand their place in the game, and I don't begrudge people who use them, but i really, really dislike them. Also, for some reason, the Ghost seems to be my Achilles heel. I blame 90% of this on the fact that its a big ship that looks ssscccaaarrryyyy.
