Yeah GS is streaming Detroits regional saturday

That's where I'm gonna be! :toot:

Gonna be taking this list:

quote:

Gold Squadron Pilot (26)
Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), R3-A2 (2), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Gold Squadron Pilot (25)
Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), Flight-Assist Astromech (1), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Gold Squadron Pilot (25)
Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), "Chopper" (1), Bomb Loadout (0), Twin Laser Turret (6), Guidance Chips (0)

Gold Squadron Pilot (24)
Y-Wing (18), BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0), Twin Laser Turret (6)

Flew this in a pre-regionals tourney and practiced against a few other people who are going, and it's been doing really well thus far. It helps that I love flying Y-Wings and, more importantly, I love flying Y-Wings aggressively, and this is a list that really rewards doing everything possible to get and keep guns on target.

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.

On the other hand, it seems like it'd be a lot of effort to come up with a fake that detailed only to make up "the shuttle has a hard stop and sloop" :shrug:

I'm sure they will give more info on the Reaper and Saw's U-Wing and poo poo, but I'm not holding out for new ships.

My guess is an announcement of a New Young Han Scum Falcon, but we'll see.

Y'ALL

It's here

Saw gives rerolls to stressed or damage carded ships at range 1-2.

Servos are boost and green 2 banks on one side, barrel roll and tallon rolls on 3 turns on the other.

Refit is minus 2 points, minus 1 on epts, AND two mods.

Holy poo poo.

And some pilots too I guess.

aaaaaahhhhhh :flashfap:

So I guess with the Refit and S-Foils, you can equip autothrusters and they only kick in when the s-foils are closed?

Dual cards don't technically take effect until the ship is placed, which is why Adaptability'd ships are placed at their native PS. So a standard X-Wing isn't going to be able to take Autothrusters even with the mod, though you could take Autothrusters if you eschewed the S-Foils and brought EU instead.

E: beaten twice :v:

Or use the astromech that comes with the transport that adds an ept

Doesn't work if the ship already has an EPT.

Here's my ideas for dumb U-Wing jank:

'I floop the pig:'

Saw Gerrara (26)
-Engine Upgrade (4)
-Refit (-2)
-Daredevil (2)
-Advanced Sensors (3)
-Pivot Wing (0)
-Hera Syndulla (1)
-Inspiring Recruit (1)

Total: 35

This is an idea I've had for a long while, where the U-Wing utilizes Daredevil to get around the predictability of the Pivot Wing card-since Daredevil technically counts as a maneuver, you can use Advanced Sensors to perform a hard white turn, flip the Pivot Wing card, reveal a zero stop on the dial, flip the ship around, and flip the card again. Plus, in addition to the refit making it less of a hideous cost sink (Shaving three points total off the combo), Saw's pilot ability actually pairs pretty well with it. Unfortunately it's still not that competitive, but it's a nifty combo that would be a lot of fun in casual play.

'Anger Management'

Saw Gerrara (26)
-Maul (3)
-Ezra Bridger (3)
-Refit (-2)
-Veteran Instincts (0)

Total: 30

This one is pretty obvious-When attacking, pop Maul, get two rerolls (One from Maul, one from Saw), convert a focus to a crit with Ezra. Solid offensive output for a not-backbreaking cost.
