I had planned on a 2xAplpha + QD list for Adepticon, but since it's going to be pretty common and I'm not getting out of the first round in any case, I think I may just go back to my fun Whisper/OL/Inquisitor list. I tried working out some kind of Whisper/Kylo Silencer thing but couldn't come up with anything good. I'll get crushed, but at least it will be flying something I like.

He would have been destroyed. A crit still counts as a point of damage.

I’m going to ask a dumbass question. When people talk about bumping other ships, they mean put their lower PS ship in a position when the other player will almost certainly hit it and have to stop right? What’s the advantage, other then that ship can’t fire on the ship it hit? Is it also for known positioning? You know where the other ship will be because you set them up to stop?

Thanks for the education on bumping. Makes much more sense now. When I first started playing I bought an Interceptor and Imperial Aces. I was incredibly excited to play a triple Interceptor list. Then I tried it and got utterly crushed.

ConfusedUs posted:The really scary part of Nym, Genius + Trajectory Simulator, just got nerfed. I expect you may see some, but it's far weaker on the joust without that. I have another dumb question. When you say "focus her down", what does that mean exactly? Use your focus tokens to reduce damage you get from Miranda?

So is there anything interesting but still competitive for Imperials now besides gunboat harpoon lists? That's what I'm planning on taking to Adepticon, but it might be nice to try something a little less common.

Ok, showing my ignorance again. How does that RAClo list deal a pile of damage? I can see 6 from the Decimator, plus 4 from the Harpoon. Am I missing something else?

I don't usually play Rebels, but I'm trying to put together something for my wife to play. How's this look? 98 points PILOTS Miranda Doni (46) K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Harpoon Missiles (4), Sabine Wren (2), Thermal Detonators (3), Long Range Scanners (0), Captain Nym (52) Scurrg H-6 Bomber (30), Veteran Instincts (1), Harpoon Missiles (4), Twin Laser Turret (6), Bomblet Generator (3), Havoc (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Accuracy Corrector (3), “Genius” (0), Trajectory Simulator (1) I know they updated the Genius/TS interaction, but I thought having both would still give some extra flexibility on where to put bombs. I might swap out Thermal Detonators for something else too.

A friend of mine put together a list for his son to play at the Hoth open. It's a Chewie/Lando 2 Falcon list. I got sad just seeing it. It will be good for him, since there's not a lot too it, but holy poo poo is it going to be a slog to fly against.

They should release a box with A-Wing and B-wing updates, and call it "We also have these other ships."

The single biggest thing I've learned from watching X-Wing tournament games on YouTube is that even the top players do some bafflingly dumb stuff sometimes. Not that that was necessarily dumb, just a missed range estimate. Still, I feel better about my own mistakes.

I played against a Lando/Chewie list yesterday, and it made me want to kill myself after an hour it was so tedious. On the other hand landing a double Harpoon on Lando was nice.

I tried out something similar to this last weekend, and had some success. I tweaked it a little to remove some deadweight. It's what I'm likely flying in the Open and Adepticon. Anyone have comments? 99 points PILOTS Rho Squadron Veteran (31) x 2 Alpha-class Star Wing (21), Deadeye (1), Extra Munitions (2), Harpoon Missiles (4), Guidance Chips (0), Cruise Missiles (3) “Quickdraw” (37) Special Forces TIE (29), Veteran Instincts (1), Fire-Control System (2), Cruise Missiles (3), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2) The plan is to hit whatever looks the most dangerous with 3 cruise missiles on the joust, then Harpoon things until they die or I do, with QD sniping at whatever he can hit.

Cobbsprite posted:Can't do it. You need the OS-1 Arsenal Loadout title to load both Harpoon Missiles and Cruise Missiles. That title is an extra two points per Rho Squadron Veteran, meaning you'll end up at 103 points. Dump the Cruise Missiles from Quickdraw to make it work, or drop the Cruise Missiles from the RSVs to gain an extra 3 points to spend anywhere. That's what I get for blindly trusting the online tool. I'm not sure if I should pull the missile from QD, or get rid of Cruise Missiles on the gunboats on give QD a tech upgrade. Funzo fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Mar 15, 2018 |

Still playing around with Rho Boats. I got clobbered last night due to very bad positioning on my part. I'm also not sold on QD, and I really don't think tooled up gunboats are going to get to use all those missiles before they get killed. I'm thinking of going with this instead: 99 points PILOTS Rho Squadron Veteran (28) x 2 Alpha-class Star Wing (21), Deadeye (1), Extra Munitions (2), Harpoon Missiles (4), Guidance Chips (0) Test Pilot “Blackout” (43) TIE Silencer (31), First Order Vanguard (2), Push the Limit (3), Advanced Sensors (3), Advanced Optics (2), Autothrusters (2) View: http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/789817/alpha-strike-2

So how are they going to distribute the new upgrade cards? I'm really hoping each conversion box comes with the same ones, and they give you everything that they're keeping. This being FFG though, I'm assuming they'll spread them out, so the scum box has the new cards that came with Scum ships, Imperial box gets card that came with Imperial ships, stuff like that. I really hope that's not the case though.
