The thing is he played well, his list has the kit and the health to beat the ghost and the reason he lost was turbo red dice and fenn rolling 7/8 nattie evades straight. He just joined the OP chorus instead of being like hey, Fenn rolled hot. Triple Bumpmaster with Intel agent and Ion projectors and he thinks the ghost is a NPE? Being ion locked and taking shots in the manoeuvre phase is probably really loving fun haha

Hello, my friends. I have been away from the game for like a year because other games caught my eye. I have to brush up because Adepticon is upon us. I haven't really paid much attention to the last few releases, but I want to run trip T-70s even if it's not "meta."

What is the most competitive triple T-70 list I can make?

He had fenn ghost on the ropes and just made a string a very low percentage calls. Jostero's cold dice on his double-tap hurt bad, but not spending his focus offensively was mystifying.

Oh it's whalers on the moon, more or less.

That build did the rounds a couple of months back, it never really caught on, because the arc-locked duders are just way too fragile.

I don't get the impression it's got a lot better since. Jostero still dies to two good hits, Torani still dies to 3, and they allstill struggle with PS11 enemies.

PS11 is the big weakness of the list, but not unbeatable. My biggest mistake with the list against 11s was always flying in formation. As soon as I split them up a bit to make the opposing player commit to one direction it became more effective.

I always seem to fly formation against Fenn/Ghost. I have one turn killed a sensor jammer ghost with it. Used LRS to scare off Fenn for a turn. Even if I don't kill it unless I am having a bad dice day ghost will only last 2 turns maybe three if I get stuck into it. Fenn can't take on any of the ships 1v1.

Fun list, try to to bank as many focus on Rey at start of game, then jam Chewie in their face and swoop the Zs in behind. Chewies attacks are potent, especially when he's attacking multiple times. There's a number of variations of the list. You could put Prockets/cruise on all of them, use swap out a tala for the PS1 sheathipede and M9G8 droid and put Expertise on Chewie. I think this one is a good start for semicasual. Chewie's multiple attacks just wreck.

Total: 100/100

A few pages back, but what's the rationale for using Talas with 2 Harpoons and a Thread Tracer over using Bandits with 3 Harpoons? Shooting before the Lothal Rebel? Slightly better modification on your harpoons?

Tracers are

-Insurance to make sure you get the locks you need
-There to help the squad hit harder on the second round if you didn't need it to set up the harpoons on the first round
-There to give you full mods on the first round if you're SURE you'll hit with the tracers.

The Talas are for initiative: Nu Alpha Wings will nuke you out of space if you can't shoot first, Lothal Rebel will TLT a Z out of existence, etc. It's weak against high PS aces, but that's a whole other arms race.

Cast a wide net so he gets shot no matter where he goes.
Be higher pilot skill.
Stress him out to stop reposition antics.
Large-base blockers--and a bit of luck.
Don't leave him for last unless you have a regen points fortress that can just run until time.


I feel that Kylo would probably be the best ship in the game if PS were capped at 9. You'd see Kylo players taking extremely large bids.

Trip report from the Michigan Regional:

Day started well with two solid wins, one 100-0 over Brobots and one 100-50 over Bossk and a K-Fighter with Harpoons and a Contracted Scout. Unfortunately after that it fell apart, as I lost three straight against Imperial Aces (Kylo/Quickdraw/Countdown), Rey/Poe, and Asaji/Dengar. In all three I suffered from some bad luck, but I also made some critical mistakes that really hurt-especially in the match against the ImpAces, where I made, in retrospect, some boneheaded moves in allowing one of my Y-Wings to get peeled off and wiped out while (fruitlessly) sending everyone else after Kylo.

OH WELL, there's always next year.

Metal shield tokens, wahoo. Those look great.

Also, check out this fun alt format that's going on in the weird scrambled league right now:

quote:

Week 3, March 15: “Always in Motion is the Future” - - 100 points, standard play, but all ships set two dials at the start of the first round - one next to the ship, the other on the pilot card for the ship. At the start of each round subsequent round, move the dial from each ship's card next to the appropriate ship in the play area, then set a dial on the ship's pilot card for the following turn's maneuver.

Ion rules: If you are ionized, on the following turn you discard the maneuver dial you had set on your pilot card and just set the new dial for the following turn. Then continue as usual.

Red maneuver while stressed: Handled per normal rules. Be careful out there people.

You will need two dials for each ship you field (a limited number will be available for borrowing purposes, in addition to assistance other players may be able to provide)

So you set your dials essentially 2 turns into the future. Sounds really fun

Going to need to see this as a repaint. Stat.

But what I meant was if they referred to QD as a she in something like a FAQ or whatever that I missed.

This all leads back to deep in this threads history about the lack of female pilots, back when it was just Howlrunner and like, Jan Orso.
