The Gate posted:At that point just put the points into accuracy corrector on the shuttle instead of a better pilot, and use it to cancel hits on the first roll without adding the two hits back. Assuming they didn't errata that out. TIE/D is best wtf option, but Whisper39 could work, too.

Do Intelligence Agent and decloaking work the way I want them too, ie can I check a dial before I decide where I'm decloaking to?

FFG suggests you fly casual and just like, do whatever as long as you have fun pushing ships. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/5/18/swx-fly-casual/ That idea about mixing Armada and Impass with Wangs sounds very fun.

Corbeau sent this list to me on Skype. I can't tell if he's joking or not. Omicron Group Pilot (21) Accuracy Corrector (3) Intelligence Agent (1) Omicron Group Pilot (21) Accuracy Corrector (3) Intelligence Agent (1) Omicron Group Pilot (21) Accuracy Corrector (3) Intelligence Agent (1) Omicron Group Pilot (21) Accuracy Corrector (3) Intelligence Agent (1) Total: 100 View in Yet Another Squad Builder He's probably joking because between the two of us, we own exactly one Shuttle, but you never know.

AndyElusive posted:FFG suggests you fly casual and just like, do whatever as long as you have fun pushing ships. I always found it weird that the motto for chill play ended up as "Fly Casual": Because in the context of the film, it doesn't mean "Take things easy, everything's all good" but rather "Do something underhanded and hope nobody catches you." Maybe it is perfect for high-level tournaments

"Fly Casual" is one of those things where the context is important. There's the example you provided, and what FFG intended, but also I've heard it used as a complaint when two players are matched against each other with a huge disparity between skills. That situation in itself is a  but it's definitely a salty/sweet term.

Never gone up against more than one shuttle in a match, so if it is your list for our game, this is gonna be interesting...and probably hurt, unless I can somehow arc-dodge with my own cumbersome spaceboats!

If I ever get and use multiple shuttles, that's exactly what I've planned to do. Stall, 1 forward, stall, 1 forward, then take it from there. That or do what another goon posted a little while ago, where you have three ships that collide in such a fashion (one with wingman I think, since another of the three has to stall) where none of them wind up moving at all, so they remain in their corner of the map, covering all angles of approach. I doubt anyone would make new friends doing that, though!  EDIT: vvv Is that in response to the one I mentioned? Since that doesn't use baffles - just OGPs with Wingman Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 01:39 on May 19, 2016 |

easy counter to that list. Slowboat the opposite side they irreplaceable damage themselves with baffels, leave formation, or forget to remove the stress. Turn their dial to fly themselves off the board.

They don't need baffles. You can get things wedged way in there so that none of the shuttles can move and just bump each turn.

Guess it's time to up my shitposting game Ballpoint Penguin posted:I'm going to a regional this weekend, and am fairly certain on a list with Fel, but I'm running him with Targeting Computer instead of Stealth Device. So far in practice matches it seems really good, having the TL allows me to take 1 or no hit shots and turn them into 3-4 hit shots pretty regularly, and usually frees me up for a defensive Palpy when I need it. Additionally it gives you this weird sense of freedom where you don't care as much if Fel gets hit once, because he doesn't lose much as a result (other than health). Most importantly, TC in place of SD gets me a 97 point initiative bid which seems like it'll be a big advantage in mirror matches. Am I crazy for not taking Stealth Device? Feel like I'm taking crazy pills, just had a conversation with one of the other tryhards locally about this yesterday for a few hours. What we came up with (as long as you have palpatine), match wise: Better matchups: Ace (especially an exact mirror where they have stealth) Gunner/Vader RAC Worse matchups: Omega Leader (MUCH worse) Uboats changes from "I can tank two torpedoes without taking damage at range 3" to "I can probably tank one torpedo at range 3" which is still probably fine Random round 1-2 jank you run into in swiss is probably a coin flip, but stealth device is the "safer" choice if you're expecting to be better than your opponent. It's definitely a good choice at worst, but in my opinion, it only really helps in the ace mirror, but if you're expecting lots of ace mirrors just bring whisper/RAC and win by default instead. If you aren't bringing palpatine, then I have no idea.

There are seven left to play this week, but I'm not concerned because it's only Wednesday and folks have until Saturday. In week 2, every single Rebel ship was represented. There were exactly zero Firesprays, on either side. There were no StarVipers or Scyks. There were exactly zero TIE Punishers. There was a TIE Bomber. Somehow. Highest number of Lambda shuttles in one list: 4 Highest number of ships in one list: 4 Number of lists with four ships in them: 5 Two ship lists: 5 Deepest initiative bid: 97 Number of lists that even had an initiative bid: 8 As of right this second, the person in first place for the league is, uh, me, because I wiped Chemmy 100-0 in my week two game, for a total MOV of 367.

Sent you a friend request ro5s (I'm GEORGE FOREMAN) I'm free Thursday/Friday evening EST(just after 5 PM EST until waaaay too late UK time, if your profile is accurate) as far as I know. Our regional is Saturday so I won't be able to do anything then. Let me know if you're free either of those days!

Dual Firesprays is something I've seen locally. Once. It actually looked pretty legit, since Firesprays are a solid anvil (lots of HP, 2 greens).

The Scum generic Firespray actually isn't a bad deal, 35 points for PS5 and an EPT, the only problem with it is that it's competing with a 36 point IG-2000 with higher PS, a better dial (no hard-3's but you get hard-1's, plus way better greens and S-loops), and also some really snazzy abilities even solo. I've actually played some Scum lists with a single brobot before and honestly, IG-88C or D with Autothrusters and FCS is a hell of a deal at 40 points. e; and of course brobots have 2 fewer hitpoints, but 3 green dice instead of 2. I don't know exactly how those numbers break down in terms of overall durability.

I've personally used x2 Bounty Hunters with a kitted-out Vader at a store champ a year or so ago (from memory I went 3-1 with it?), but that sounds like it'll destroy aces like Soontir so well, despite the Firesprays being low-PS
