canyonero posted:What kind of bid do you try for with ps11 Vader? I guess it's mostly just Han, Quickdraw and other Vader's at 11 2 points max. You don't see PS11 Quickdraw all *that* often, and Han is pretty drat rare in any configuration. I've seen VI Dengar more than either. And even that's not common. If I ended up with 3 points left I'd probably go for cruise missiles or prockets over a bid.

If you're expecting to see a lot of Nym and a lot of Corran, you can kill Corran in two turns with I'll Show You The Darkside condition sneaking in crits under the shields. Nym is much less scary with a damaged cockpit crit (and Scum Nym can't do Genius shenanigans if you stick him with a Stunned Pilot) Comedy option: Ezra with TLT, Rage, Inspiring Recruit + 3 gold squadron pilots with TLT  Comedy option #2: The obnoxious Ahsoka/Hera Ghost mobility build canyoneer fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Oct 10, 2017 |

Triple Auzitucks is pretty fun in a trolly sort of way. Lots of ways to play around with this. Swap Expertise for a cheaper EPT (Crackshot) and put some combo of Gunner (2) and Operations Specialist (1) on as crew. I want to find a way to fit the PS 7 Wookie. Wookiee Liberator (26) Expertise (4) Breach Specialist (1) Tactician (2) Wookiee Liberator (26) Expertise (4) Breach Specialist (1) Tactician (2) Wookiee Liberator (26) Expertise (4) Breach Specialist (1) Tactician (2) Total: 99 View in Yet Another Squad Builder

If T-85s have SLAM I honestly don't know what I'll do. It's an interaction I don't generally like a whole bunch, even though it can definitely be useful. Definitely had a couple games with T-70s where disengaging for distance were important and difficult, but with increased costs (because of course they will) I don't know how viable my style of play would be, and that kinda worries me. I don't have much confidence in FFG to balance things lately.

Or for that matter, maybe just an alternate title that grants the Illicit slot (and makes him count as a large ship for it), so he can get the HSB from TFA as well. Or just a tech that says 'Black One Only: you may equip Burnout SLAM, paying the squad point cost as normal'.

There was a hotshot blaster onscreen in TFA and it never made it to a T-70 two years and a Heroes release pack later. I don't think there's a lot of reason to believe you'll see a T-70 get something special like an extra boost or slam or something

I took this for a spin tonight, and hooo boy  Vader fun (99) •Darth Vader (39) - TIE Advanced •Lone Wolf (2), Proton Rockets (3), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5) Black Squadron Pilot (15) - TIE Fighter Crack Shot (1) Black Squadron Pilot (15) - TIE Fighter Crack Shot (1) Black Squadron Pilot (15) - TIE Fighter Crack Shot (1) Black Squadron Pilot (15) - TIE Fighter Crack Shot (1) I'm sold on the crackshot swarm. Utterly dissected a Cassian/Rey list with a bunch of trimmings, without losing a single ship. Didn't get a chance to run my Upsilon and SF TIE list in a normal game, we played a 3-person free for all when I broke that out and apparently my normal opponents have a distaste for QuickDraw, Backdraft, and anything that looks like an Upsilon shuttle I got ganged up on and lost, but not before showing off the dark side to a few people and stripping shields from one or two others. The wookie gunship is a tough little bastard to bring down

My tanky Rey/Ghost list will do very well against Corran/Miranda. The ghost can block or just K-turn to follow either ace ship. Rey is a full-blown turret so even if they start running it's unlikely they can get away and stay away to fully regen. Both hit like trucks. And it's gonna take 3 rounds minimum to kill either of them, even counting a range 1 double tap from Corran where every hit lands.

I can't think of anything you could possibly make from that asinine list of restricted/required that can hold a candle to a practiced Corran/Miranda. Palp Aces (Best is probably Vader/Prockets Inquisitor) and Deci/Ace will just get bombed to oblivion and/or lose on time. Not a single good Scum list is possible, although you can make middling ones like 4x TLT Y-Wings.
