Major Isoor posted:Hey, I'm currently at work (I'll be home in around 2-2.5hrs), but my userID on Steam is Major Isoor, same as on the forums. I'm in the SA X-Wing group as well. If you don't send me a friend req before I get home, I'll shoot one your way. How long will you be available for? Since although I've downloaded and added all the X-Wing stuff for TTS, I haven't been able to test it, so I may need to check it out first, before our game - just to make sure I don't bomb out halfway through We appear to be friends already. Added you and sent you some messages (I'm US EST) with possible game times etc. Just hit me up via Steam.

As of right now I have received nine (9) out of 22 lists for this week. If you have not sent one in already, still no pressure since there are 10+ days to play your game, but I'd like them ideally before games are played.

I want Hera in an A-Wing so bad.  Preferably along with a Phoenix Squadron Pilot with built-in Draw Their Fire.Some Numbers posted:I think TFA is the third best Star Wars movie, maybe the second, depending on one's feelings towards ANH. I'd be with you on TFA being second if not for ANH's death star battle. It's the best space battle in any Star Wars film.

It's not even just the bad opinions, it's the constant seeking of subtext that isn't there or the misunderstanding of subtext the director or writer did put in the script. And it's posted in such a serious manner that if you question any aspect of it, you're a plebeian who just doesn't get it because you're not a ~  True Internet Film God ~

This weekend is shaky, Saturday is out for sure and Sunday I'm probably open but I'm not sure. The good news is I have a staycation next week, and can probably take some time out of Stellaris to play x-wangs. I also spent about an hour with TTS last night and I think I have it all figured out. I've also decided that, at least for now, I'm only going to play with stuff I own. So be prepared for me to be super terrible. siggy2021 fucked around with this message at 15:53 on May 3, 2016 |

Hey, I'm just getting into this game and I want to start with Imperial at least. Tie interceptors seem really cool but I can't decide to buy the Tie Interceptor pack or the Imperial Aces pack? Imperial Aces seems better, the only card I really want from TIE Interceptor is Soontir Fel...but Soontir Fel seems pretty cool too (he was pretty cool in the old X-wing comics). Any recommendations on one versus the other?

If you like imps it is really not bad to get both.

There are good interceptor pilots in Aces, and Soontir is way less exciting without Push The Limit, which is only in Aces and the A-Wing expansion pack.

Unfortunately you need the cardboard square as well, which is trickier to get since there are more Fel cards than bases out there. (thanks to the promos)

My mind cannot come up with a nuanced approach here. The funniest part about the Star Wars discussion leading up to TFA is that you could just sense that SMG was winding up to poo poo all over it if people thought it was good. There was no way he wasn't going to find some reason why "it's not really Star Wars."

Interceptor aces needed two because of the rabid Fel and Royal guard fans. The alternate color scheme necessitates two.

Wasn't Imp aces also the first one? Probably just the first iteration of the idea, then realized it made lots more sense to do different ships (sell more blisters, and sell more Aces sets? Go!). I think the Interceptor was in need of help most at that point, aaaaaand on top of that there was still the Great Interceptor Drought ongoing. Seriously, I didn't preorder an interceptor, and did not see one in a store for over a year. A-Wings, too, but I did eventually get one from someone else. I stopped playing for a big chunk of that time because I just couldn't get the ships.

Here's those trays I mentioned before, in action at my LFGS X-wing night:  My first game was Inky and two interceptor aces (Jax and Tetron.) Inky and Friends - 100 Points Carnor Jax (37) Expose (4) Royal Guard TIE (0) Stealth Device (3) Shield Upgrade (4) The Inquisitor (33) Opportunist (4) TIE/v1 (1) Stealth Device (3) Tetran Cowall (34) TIE Interceptor, Unique Outmaneuver (3) Royal Guard TIE (0) Stealth Device (3) Shield Upgrade (4) I wanted to try some new things, experimenting with EPTs I don't normally use. My opponent was flying an E-Wing with Corran and 3 rookie A test pilots. I was doing good at first, my opponent is pretty new to the game and was crashing a few times into asteriods. I had a good pincer starting out:  I pretty quicky got rid of most of the A-wings. I lost Tetron. Then I started making mistakes and for some reason flying over (multiple times) asteriods, thinking it was worth it do risk the damage than flying around nad loosing momentum (it really isn't). I ended up crashing into myself a bit, like this glorious wreck.  I also kept forgetting to use special abillities, like Oppertunist and Outmanuver, which would have been a bit more damage. I ended up loosing. The second game was a Fat Han (I have 3-CPO now!)+Coran list. It actually had simular problems. My opponent (the same person) used Miranda and Han. We got into a big pile with both Hans. My B-wing was stuck and I intentionally bumped with a 1 bank to stay. Sadly I also forgot to take advantage of Coran's stress powers a lot. We ran out of time so had to stop short. I think it ended up being an exact tie. (70-70). E: And I love C-3PO a lot and see why he's popuar. On a single damage rolled I can call "0" with a single DF die and negate the damage either result (barring any modifications he might do afterwards).

I'm also looking for sales info as I'm looking to get a Raider and Transport, and would prefer to get them at a good discount given how much they cost...and how little they give for the main game. At least the Raider is a cool display model.

If you get a soontir card/base I don't think there's much need for an interceptor expansion - you'd benefit more inty-wise from getting authothrusters and/or stealth device. (the former only comes packaged with a crappy scum ship, unfortunately)

Any recommendations on one versus the other? I'd argue strongly that Carnor is actually better than Soontir in the current meta, to be honest. Shutting down u-boats is huge. I'd start with aces, and if you find yourself wanting a bit more toughness or a bit more PS, grab the blister.

So, I practiced with this list the other day, and I've done better with this Dash list than any other, so far. I feel like it needs some fine-tuning, though. With Poe, there are just too many extra points floating around. Dash Rendar (36) Push the Limit (3) Heavy Laser Cannon (7) Proton Rockets (3) Kanan Jarrus (3) Engine Upgrade (4) Outrider (5) Poe Dameron (31) Veteran Instincts (1) R5-P9 (3) Weapons Guidance (2) Autothrusters (2) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder It's just a little awkward. I'm not totally sold on Weapons Guidance, but is useful if I don't plan to regen that round. I thought about putting Torps+Chimps on Poe, but I really don't want to spend his action on target locks when he needs focus so badly. I dunno. I beat Palp Aces with it, so I'm feeling good, but I still need to practice against u-boats.
