Yeah honestly the flexibility that Jake has is something above and beyond what Fel can do. It looks really, really good and it ends up being a really cheap effective flanker which absolutely cannot be ignored.

I've decided that I'm going to start running TIE Bombers with Proton Bombs in an effort to counter all these A-Wing lists I'm seeing popping up. e: I'm thinking 4x Gamma Squadron Pilots with Flechette Torpedoes and Proton Bombs. 100 points on the nose.

There's not really any other cards that are affected by this, I think everything else has 'another' written in the card text. I'm not mega happy with Rebel Aces, if only because Imperial Aces seems fairly lacklustre now in comparison. There's a couple of solid cards and combos but Rebel Aces seems to be made of gold.

Playing Star Wars: TIE Fighter makes me just want to run TIE Fighters again. Man, I'd forgotten how good the X-Wing/TIE-Fighter/XvT series of games were, and it runs like a dream on my current PC. It's not really nostalgia, but what happened?

Since playing TIE Fighter more I've promised myself to actually use Maarek Stele, although it feels really bizzare to run an Advanced without it being Vader (Although technically, Vader flies the x1) I still think that Vader in the x1 can be a good choice.

I guess a Defender with a HLC would be pretty good, although those HWK's are pretty reasonably priced.

Yeah but really if you face Defenders with HLC or even Interceptors it'll be fairly hard for you to make those 43 points back, even with your fancy B-Wing/E2 and 360 Adv Torps. I think the best part of the list is that Han is paired with C3PO, which is a pretty good combo.

Weeeeeeell I think it's pretty clear from the card text that Nera Dantels can fire torpedoes in any direction around her. Also I thought this was pretty well clarified seeing it came up in Wave 2, in reference to the interaction between "Backstabber" and the Falcon/Slave 1.

Lemon Curdistan posted:I wonder what the next wave will bring for Imperials and Rebels. There's good mileage out of Scum especially since they still need a full wave or two's worth of releases to get up to the same number of ships as Imps/Rebs, but it feels like they're kind of reaching the bottom of the barrel. Paging FFG for Assault Gunboat. Stormtrooper Transport for both factions.

I'm really confused at what role it's really going to play beside highly modifiable gunboat, which in a way is already fulfilled by the Shuttle. I could only suppose that the Assault Gunboat could be to the Shuttle what the TIE Interceptor is to the TIE Fighter - more offensively based but losing the support roles the Shuttle can fill.

The TIE Bomber is actually PS2 for 16 points and the Omicron Group Pilot for the Shuttle is also PS2. But you do make some pretty good points, as the Empire is generally lacking a Y-Wing equivalent ship. e: I think any potential Gunboat will definitely be above 20 points for the PS1 Generic.

Of all the ship combos I've seen, I rate the Chewbacca build as among the most bullshit. How do you actually take it down beside the "just shoot at it with a lot of ships" because really it seems that Chewbacca can just invalidate a lot of the smaller, elite squads.

spacegoat posted:One thing I really liked about X-Wing was reading about the awesome players and tournament scene. Even though I miss the early days of these threads when most people were just taking whatever and not worrying about being competitive, the attitude has always been right. Guess it was only a matter of time before the shitlords started showing up. I think it depends on your crowd. For example, this thread has some absolutely top-tier players in it AND has a some casual players (I'd consider myself in this category). I think everyone who posts here plays for fun anyway so yeah, the general vibe I get is always extremely positive.

Well, holistically speaking, the fortress tactic may only be relevant against the hyper-mobile TIE Phantom/Interceptor anyway, anything packing Assault Missiles or HLC's will still have an advantage, and ships like the Firespray can already fire backwards which nullifies a draw of the 'fortress', that is being able to get in a round of unanswerable shooting.

I'm fine with losing (i normally do), but when my four rebel ships fail to destroy a single Academy Pilot from a swarm of 7 TIES over three rounds, I feel a little like the dice are telling me to go gently caress myself. Nothing can stop the Empire!
