Yeah, I'm still disappointed FFG didn't made Kyle Katarn the badass he is. My childhood! :argh:
I did have decent results with a Kyle in the Moldy Crow, funneling Focus to Garven, who funneled it then to Wedge. Though, I'm think of subbing Wedge for the PS6 B-Wing, because it's another fighter I'm very fond of.

Probably going to play on tomorrow evening, and I was thinking of fielding this , well, stub of a list:
A fat Kyle (title+recon+blaster turret
Garven Dreis, which would act as my main hitter, dont know what kind of upgrades to give him
Biggs, probably with a shield upgrade and R2D2.
What do you think so far, considering I own the following:
Starter set
X wing
B wing
Hwk 290
Imp aces
Tie Defender

I was under the impression Pilot Skill caps at 10 regardless of upgrades; is that not the case?

Roarke specifically sets someone at 12 once per turn, which beats the highest naturally achievable PS, 9+2(Veteran Instinct)

That, and well, Flightsims as a genre is dead as a doornail. It stayed a pretty niche genre back when most other genres became mainsteam.

If you mean Illicit upgrades, no, those will only be available to S&V.

I don't know what they are releasing for it at all. But yeah, if it's only for S&V I'll be pretty disappointed. I like that ship.

How exactly do asteroids work? Do you take damage when you fly through them, or land on them, or both, or what?

Stopping on makes you lose your action and attack iirc. Any contact has you rolling a red dice for a possible damage.

Hawks are good now. You will not believe how tanky the PS0 ability guy is. I have had to kill Kath first because it was easier than trying to get at that stupid thing. Also better choice, but I've tried killing both and it just stays alive. Might have to write down stats cuz it might just be several skewed results.

Is there anything to make Rebel HWK good though? Or are my dreams of a non-gag list featuring Kyle Katarn destined to remain dreams?

If peoplecome to tournaments expecting to pay rent or their car payment by winning X wing, poo poo is going to get real intense real fast.

Yeah, this. Start putting significant rewards and you give players a pretty good incentive to be really intense about their plastic spaceships games. And not in a good way.
This aside, does anyone has a good ressource for listbuilding and playing for dummies?

Meaningless derail, but Christ almighty do the comments on that video drive me nuts, even though I'm pretty insulated from normal youtube fare. I mean it's a pretty sweet video, but the amount of nerds cheering on an overwhelming space fascist fleet pounding on a bunch of transports is unsettling as hell.

So, I was out of the loop for, err, since the Imperial Veterans was about to hit store. What happened since then? Are 3 X wing lists still a possibility? More importantly, is my man Kyle Katarn/the HWK finally viable?

So how do you guys build lists? I'm at a bit of a loss about where to start. I own a fair bit of ships, most I bought/was gifted when I couldn't play and I'm bit drowning in options.

Thanks! I don't own Autothruster, might pick up its ship this saturday if I don't get an E and K wing first. Keyan however will probably change as you recommanded. I thought about using TB to set ships up for Outmanoeuvring Tycho, but that's apparently a mistake?

Oh yeah I was seeing Farlander as being PS8, not 7. How about switching Opportunist for VI?

How does Keyan get stress in this list? If he can't get stress, why are you using Keyan?

That doesn't mean the concept is bad, but if you're not using his ability you might as well use someone else.

Would swapping VI for PtL be a good idea then?

Went 0-3 on my first tournament in forever. While I messed up a fair bit, I'm not really impressed by how the game seems to have a huge powercreep seeping in, especially in the last few waves.

I did that my first time playing too. There is a reason I had munitions failsafe on Jake Farrell til autothrusters came out

I had it on the two A Wing. As well as a focus. I just got 5 blanks each time. No eyes or hit, just 5 blank sides facing me. And one of the ships didn't got to shoot again because his Ghost got all of the crits in its retaliatory strike and overkilled my ship. :argh:
