Having only played 1 game, and thought about it for quite a bit.. Is Wedge the 'best' X-wing pilot at the moment? His ability to flat out decrease the agility of the one he is firing upon seems really good, not to mention his skill level.

Yeah, in the EU he is probably the best pilot around. There was a joke that he could not fail even when he tried.

Aha. There will be a Kessel Run event over here too. I intend to bring a X-wing list (I got a core set and 2 X-wing expansions). However, from the lists I see floating about, almost no one seems to include Wedge in a 100-point list. Any reasons why? I have only played two or so games, and he seems like an excellent pilot to use.

Looks like I should get a 3rd X-wing expansion to try it out. Thanks for the suggestion!

The new ships look really good for their point costs. I do wonder if there is some power creep here. I have played only a few games, so I am not sure how good the B-wing and TIE bomber are compared to X-wings and TIE fighters. In theory, of course, as we do not know their maneuvering dials.

I have never used expert handling on my X-wings before. But I did get to try out the Imperials yesterday for the first time with a mixed list of Interceptor, Advanced and normal TIE fighters. Barrel roll is awesome.

According to the FFG website, at one point it was 2 B-wings against 6 TIEs. I am amazed he pulled off the win.

Ionization reactor is hilarious. Especially if there are rules with regards to collision with the corvette.

Going to be a special tournament this weekend at a local store - each player controls 1 fighter, up to 50 points. Still split into Imperials vs Rebels, 4 hour length, you chalk up points for kills, and can reenter from your team's edge after being killed. Basically a massive furball. If playing rebels, I was thinking Wedge as the base pilot, then upgrade towards 50 points. 3 attack dice with his ability means a easier time killing, since survivability does not seem as important. Though dying too easily means I will have to spend more time moving back into the engagement from respawn. Any suggestions?

On the suggestion of a B-wing, I played around with the squadron builder and got this: Ten Numb (B-Wing) + Fire Control System + Autoblaster + Proton Torpedo x2 + Marksmanship for 49 points.

Shoeless posted:If it's going to have a bunch of enemy ships, and you respawn after death, then... maybe Carnor Jax with Opportunist, Royal Guard, Stealth Device and one other modification depending on your tastes? Keep the enemy from getting Focus and Evade tokens with your ability, and Opportunist gives you an extra attack die, plus one more for being at Range 1. Stealth Device because you want to be hard to hit, and since you do get to rejoin after dying, it's not as much a worry that one shot will take it out, since once you die you come back with it again. And the fact that the ability effects all enemies at range 1 means that you'll get some goodwill from the other Imperial players. Probably not going Empire, due to friend going Rebel. But it is a good thing to see what the other side may come up with though. Wonder will a Falcon be worth it - can soak some fire for the rest of the team, and maybe an upgrade or two.
