Most Wanted came out years ago.

RAC + Whisper is a tried and true list that does reasonably well competitively, even today.

Whisper/Defender/TLT Aggressor would probably be pretty solid, too.

There's been no indication on a street date for it, you can usually expect it one to two weeks after it goes to shipping, so best guess for street date at the moment is probably week 3 of October at the earliest.

Don't give them any ideas, they'll probably release a title that give the boat white K-Turns and it'll sit in the middle of the Pacific turning around forever.

Applications closed for regionals in Australia yesterday. Hopefully, we will hear some news in the next couple of weeks. Passing on Nats unfortunately. Looking to buy a new car and the nomey I save from not going all the bloody way to QLD will let me go to NSW, ACT and Vic regionals if I want. Might even luck out and not even have to travel for one of them.

Woof. Good to know, thanks! I have a bye for regionals and would love to go, but my schedule is brutal and I doubt I'll be able to set aside an entire weekend to fly spaceships :( still gonna keep an eye out for the dates and try anyways!

That's interesting, I guess I missed that. I'm used to waves being at least one ship per faction.

There is a chance Wave 13 will have additional ships announced later, with the TIE Silencer and Resistance Bomber "tacked on" to what is actually Wave 13.

Though with them running out of ships, who knows. :shrug:

The T-70 and TIE F/O are still part of whatever Wave that was, they just came out a little earlier.

I just do stupid theme lists all the time now at my FLGS. Like videogame exclusive imperial ships, or the evolution of the xwing(arc, t65, t70 or z95, t65, t70). Or Republic military surplus (z-95, arc, y-wing) etc.

Flew this last night, and it's fun as hell.

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

"Deathrain" (26)
Collision Detector (0)
Unguided Rockets (2)

"Quickdraw" (29)
Expertise (4)
Fire-Control System (2)
Sensor Cluster (2)

Special Ops Training (0)

Total: 98

View in Yet Another Squad Builder

Each ship is beefy enough to stand up to bombs or autoblaster Nym for a few rounds, which is really all you need.

That Deathrain is fun as hell to fly. It's like having BB-8. Get her into the middle of the board, dance around asteroids, blocking lanes with bombs and the ship itself.

I also flew this without realizing it was 101 points. :(

https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f...ain%20Aces&obs=

Not that anyone really cared at a casual night. But still, I was plugging it into Aurora after the match and went "gently caress guys, that was 101 points"

Which is really sad, because it was even more fun than the OL/QD list above.

I forgot how much I like playing arc dodgers.

Intensity is wonderful on Jake, due to that four action goodness, but he becomes really vulnerable if you don't manage to flip it every single turn.

It's now been two months since I last played. It makes me really sad :( but hopefully I'll get to play again soon. I have no clue what to run, I've been running all types of rebel jank. Looking for a new flavor of T-70 play though, and wasn't overly impressed by intensity Poe...

I really like flying a-wings but I find bombs have made them hard to play. I have to stay at a distance, which keeps me from using proton rockets, snap shot, arvel or gemmer the way I'd like. Any suggestions for fighting bombs with a-wing other than "shoot from a distance?"

Right now I use tycho and jake to jet around the board but I feel like I have to pepper people forever, whereas they only need one decent shot.

Their anemic 2 red make them reliant up on rockets. With those, they can do a little damage, but still die to a stiff breeze.
