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.

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.

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.

bunnyofdoom posted:Now I have to blame my actual lovely playing for my bad results. No, you'll lose because you didn't choose Corran/Miranda. 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.
