For my first couple of games I thought you could only get a target lock if the ship was in your firing arc.

When I first started I though evades and focus tokens stayed with you the whole round. That and that if you were stressed, your next maneuver HAD to be a green maneuver. I still mess some things from time to time but joining a league with helpful players really sped things up to help me get to know the games mechanics.

Never seen the one about a target lock adding a red die, but I have seen people make the same mistake as with a focus: spend lock for one singular re-roll

FFG quite literally has a one bomb per turn clause which invalidated their K-wing article.

I had planned on a 2xAplpha + QD list for Adepticon, but since it's going to be pretty common and I'm not getting out of the first round in any case, I think I may just go back to my fun Whisper/OL/Inquisitor list. I tried working out some kind of Whisper/Kylo Silencer thing but couldn't come up with anything good. I'll get crushed, but at least it will be flying something I like.

Whisper + Kylo + Ridiculous Bid. No, I'm serious. Your goal: Kill more points than Whisper is worth. Run away forever, secure in the knowledge that, if this were a video game, you'd be getting hatemail after every game. I did it with QuickDraw + Kylo, and it's far more effective than it sounds.

Imagine if you could fit another set of bombs or somehow get 2x extra munitions tokens on the card. Drop 1 before move Launch 2 before move Launch 2 after move

You couldn't drop one first because that would close the window for genius.

Just FYI, straight from the FAQ: Q: If I have a ship equipped with multiple bombs, can I drop more than one in the same round? A: No. Each ship is limited to a single bomb drop each round.

And how many bomb launches? Edit: I get the intention, it's very clear that you can drop or launch one bomb, and I further doubt that anyone would try to do more than that in a game. We're just theorycrafting around the possibilities that sloppy writing (ffg emote) left open. And, I am hoping that it's bad enough that a FAQ will be put out sooner than intended to fix it. hoiyes fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jan 17, 2018 |

They just need to say drop and launch are the same for that which is obviously how it's meant, but lol on releasing an FAQ update or anything.

ConfusedUs posted:Whisper + Kylo + Ridiculous Bid. No, I'm serious. lol at using Whisper in a meta where proton bomb VI Nym exists. Whipser is one lucky proton bomb from death. There are metas in which two point fortresses and a ridiculous bid can work but this isn't that meta. At least not with those fortresses, Miranda Nym is bidding down to 96 or even 95 sometimes...

An local group is doing a Top Gun tournament. Each person selects a different unique pilot to enter. It's an elimination style format, you find out the pilot you're up against and then you both build a squad of 60 points including your chosen pilot and whatever generics fit. I went with Omega leader, he's strong at lower ship counts, can actually kill timewalk assaj/fat Han, and there's enough leftover points to build out a flexible wingman or two. Ion D vs Norra, Harpoon boat, 2 strikers, etc. Who's the dirtiest ship you can think of for the format?

The TLT/harpooned one makes no sense. The other...if you squint at it maybe? And I'm willing to give that one a pass because TjS/Genius Nym is awful.

I don't even understand what they are trying to say in the TLT/Harpooned part... does that means that only the first TLT can trigger the harpoon effect? Was that even the question?

It's definitely unofficial. It fits their MO of making up rules in the FAQ though. I can see why he wants to rule it that way. Genius and Trajectory Sim are just awful together. But RAW he has no leg to stand on.

The tournament I am going to has said unless it's in a FAQ then it's just an opinion. Wish they would use it, but I understand since most people have submitted both lists already. I really don't like the TLT ruling. Makes harpoons even more horrible. I love my harpoons, but they are OP for the point value. Edit: Lol the TO is going with the ruling for the Day 2 side event since it's supposed to be fun. He like most sane people realllllllllllllllllly hates Genius/TS.

Been a real lovely week so I went with a Fire and Forget list. Y-Wing: •"Dutch" Vander (32) Twin Laser Turret (6) •R7-T1 (3) YT-1300: •Chewbacca (55) Tactical Jammers (1) •Millennium Falcon (1) Expertise (4) •C-3PO (3) •R2-D2 (4) Z-95 Headhunter: Bandit Squadron Pilot (13) Guidance Chips (0) XX-23 S-Thread Tracers (1) Total: 100/100 Just slow roll around, Target Locking and Evading. Boost bot included in case someone got into range 1 behind Dutch; he could use it to scoot to range 2 or enough behind Chewie to get obstructed. Didn't really matter as I faced Miranda/Chewie and tabled the poor kid.
