ConfusedUs posted:I am not a rebel player; what the hell is a good ship to pair with her for ~41 points? You can't get the best Poe, Nym, or Miranda for that. That's an awkward spot. There's a good Norra in there. R2-D2, PTL, Kyle, and vectored thrusters if you want it. Attack Shuttle Rage TLT Ezra fits there too, with an awkward 13 points remaining

Nora has promise. She also fulfills the role of big gun that isn't easy to kill. She's also got better end-game chances than the rebel, if Rey somehow died early. I'll test it out.

I'd play a BB-8 intensity ps9 poe and see how that works. Or maybe an R2D2 intensity ps8 poe.

Yeah, I pretty much always prefer the more dodgy of the two, I just thought i'd point out the options since some people would rather have the regen. Same thing with Poe

It really feels like Dash is a strong answer to Nym, and an OK answer to RAClo. I'm still not sure what to do with the 42-48 points. Norra's probably the top candidate, but I'm tired of 1 agility rebels. Probably plot armor Poe? Dash Rendar (36) Lone Wolf (2) Heavy Laser Cannon (7) Rey (2) EMP Device (2) Smuggling Compartment (0) Countermeasures (3) Outrider (5) Poe Dameron (PS9) (33) Intensity (2) R2-D2 (4) Comm Relay (3) Integrated Astromech (0) Black One (1) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder Lots to change up. BB8 instead of R2D2. The illicit and mod on Dash could easily be Engine and change his EPT to Push the Limit. I like EMP Device though for discouraging people from getting in his donut.

This is the Norra build I used to win my SC: Norra Wexley (29) Push the Limit (3) Tactician (2) R2-D2 (4) Vectored Thrusters (2) Alliance Overhaul (0) Total: 40 View in Yet Another Squad Builder I find you can drop her in most lists and make that list's chances of survival much better.

I'd like to start playing competitively, but still have a fun list. I'm looking at mostly just store events and stuff like that. Any thoughts on this list? Omega Leader w/ Comm Relay, Juke The Inquisitor w/ PTL, Cruise MIssles, TIE/v1 Whisper w/ Rebel Captive, Fire-Control System, Veteran Instincts, Advanced Cloaking Device I'm only using stuff I've actually got cards for, which is a little limiting, but I've got a least one copy of most stuff at this point.

Funzo posted:I'd like to start playing competitively, but still have a fun list. I'm looking at mostly just store events and stuff like that. Any thoughts on this list? Autothrusters is basically an auto-include for Inquisitor. He wants to always be at range 3. Proxy or borrow the card. Proton Rockets are probably better than Cruise Missiles on Inquisitor, because, again, he wants to stay at range 3. Prockets are a huge deterrent to people trying to get into his face. They can let him hang out at long range where he's strongest...or get hosed up by Prockets. I'd rather have Autothrusters than either missile on Inquisitor. Omega Leader is perfect, and Whisper is pretty good. Only the crew is up for debate there, but Rebel Captive isn't a bad choice. Possible alternatives to Rebel Captive include Recon Specialist, Agent Kallus, Gunner (if you can find the points) and Intelligence Agent. An Intel agent would free up the points you need for Autothrusters on Inquisitor and you can still keep the missile.

I'll get rid of the missile and put in Autothrusters. My oldest is learning to fly Scum, so I guess I can always get a Starviper and borrow the card.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:I suck, so what about this works so well? The best Norra turn is with a focus and target lock so you can use her ability to add a hit on offense, which PTL lets you do. Tactician is there because R2 out of either arc covers a wide area. R2-D2 is for regen, very nice on a 1 agility ship And the barrel roll is there to get some arc dodging vs. lower PS stuff (of which there's a lot right now) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op-9c4EvELY Norra hits like a truck when she gets going. edit: Here's a better Norra video of Norra doing Norra stuff. The guy subs in Expertise to get that focus on offense every time and adds C-3PO for extra defense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJJomkDYaW0 canyoneer fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Sep 13, 2017 |

canyoneer posted:The best Norra turn is with a focus and target lock so you can use her ability to add a hit on offense, which PTL lets you do. This nails it on the head. I like the PTL for the rare chance that I might want to use her ability on defense, and don't mind receiving the stress since I'll often regen with R2, and her dial really isn't bad. The barrel roll is really handy to keep things in arc one way or another, or scoot out of the way of an asteroid in your path the following round if you got greedy. E: I've been toying around with using C-3P0 since I got it, seems like it would be even more tanky, but I generally like flexible lists and dishing out stress is always good.

I played against a dude who had PTL Norra with Ezra crew, and it was surprisingly good. Guy stuck a bunch of crits on me because I had low agility ships. Also, Netrunner's rotation cycle starts October 1st with a new core set to support it. I would really like to see a rotation cycle for X Wing now, it would be nice to shake up the meta in ways besides power creeping up ships endlessly

What would they even rotate? Early heavyweight cards like Predator, PTL, r2d2 ect are barely used for new stuff like expertise, mindlink, miranda. If youre hoping for a rotation system to fix adslam, bombs, tlt...youre in for a seriously long wait even after they decide to do it.

I feel like that would make it hard to keep bringing in new players, having to track what's legal and not. Then again I can see the game stores managing that sort of incoming new players. How do you figure what's allowed and what's not, anyway?

The idea of rotation fixing xwing at this point is hilarious because the only thing from like, the first two years of releases that needs to rotate out is Biggs, everything else is practically dead in the meta currently.

You're not wrong, but I think the idea is that if there's rotation built in, designers don't have to balance new stuff against such a large pool and can get more targeted in the stuff they're building. Think about how the astromech space is so limited by having Biggs in the pool. Or on the other hand, how design space on new astromech bearing ships is limited by having shield regen from R2-D2 or R5-P9.

Yeah I like the idea of rotation in a vacuum but it'd require a ground-up X-Wing 2.0 to be designed and I don't see that happening (but would like to be surprised).
