Its an action to use it so you wont get 3 actions. All it does for ships with baseline BR is remove a Target lock and not give you a stress.

Want that alt art Soontir so bad, but the FLGS never sent out any emails about the tickets going on sale so they'd run out in the five days between when I last checked and yesterday. :(

Theres a bunch of store champ events around here. Hit me up at the end of Feb if you havent gotten one by then and ill toss you my extra

Yeah Biggs isn't going to help that squad much. You're handicapping your A-wings to Bigg's weak rear end dial. Your alpha strike is decent but you want to get as much value out of your A-wings as you can once the rockets are gone. Something that soaks dmg would be a better use of those 37 points. Something like:

Tycho
Chardaan refit
PTL

Jake Farrell
A-wing Test Pilot
PTL
VI
Proton Rockets

Wild Space Fringer
Outrider
HLC

You lose one rocket but get a HLC. They're either going to chase the outrider and eat a PR or engage Jake and let you snipe them with with your HLC.

I honestly would just drop Kyle and take Roark or jan instead. You have to dump way too many points into Kyle to make his ability worthwhile. All for a focus on Han which will net you very little since he has his natural rerolls + gunner. Predator on Han is a better investment than the points you have to spend (recon, moldy crow) to make Kyle effective. I mean it could work if you slow play like hell for 3-4 turns to build up your focus reserve but those are gonna be spent real fast. 1 to Han, 1 to shoot your turret, 1 to modify your turret attack, 1-??? On defense when they shoot Kyle. IMO Kyle is better in action stacking lists.

2x Saber Squad with PTL, Howlrunner with Swarm Tactics, Gundark and Mauler Mithel.


I would have run more tie fighters if I had them, but I didn't.

I nearly ran Jake Farrel, Arvel and an e-wing but got talked out of it.

With 1 more interceptor you can make a very competitive swarm list thats pretty decent in this meta

Hackjack posted:

Do you think FFG would publish something like a book of missions? Or something fan made, maybe? I can see the new giant ship sets lending themselves perfectly to missions.

A standalone book of missions prob not. For fan made stuff theres this http://tools.fantasyflightgames.com/xwing/ I have no clue how good any of them are though. Each large ship comes with a mission and the huge ships come with a few too.

Hackjack posted:

What's a good way to find netlists with an emphasis on simplicity over competitiveness? I think having too many upgrades on ships or having differently-equipped versions of the same ship could cause confusion for my friends and me. And for the list itself, I can imagine some people being totally willing to look through card binders for half an hour and craft their own list, but it'd also be great to jump right into the game and say "Here are a few list options for you to take" and then I can buy just the ships I need.

Finally, how do you guys feel about 3/4 player games? For 4 players it's probably best to pair people off into teams, but for 3 players, how do you prevent one person from being able to avoid attention until the other two whittle each other down?


Theres no single depository of simple lists youre just gonna have to browse around places like boardgamegeek and the FFG forums or play around with a squad builder . Plenty of lists are both simple and competitive though so youre bound to find something. Never played a 3 person game. Id say just put a round limit or time limit and crown whoever killed the most points the winner.

Crits are nice but not at the expense of everything else. Marksmanship is generally pretty lousy and leaves you with nothing but naked green dice to save your fragile E-wings.

I used it on Yorr to screen for Soontir+stealth and Echo. Its pretty good you basically just joust at the start and they waste a ton of shots killing Yorr at the beginning and your end game is 2 superior dogfighters.

I've been thinking long and hard about the Starviper and I never see myself in a position where I would want to run 2 of them in a 100 point squad. I'm really struggling to even place one in a squad :(

I justified getting 2 by keeping 1 permanently on my desk if it turns out to be another E-wing

Until they FAQ it, that's the rules. Is that an unreasonable position? We know scum y-wings != rebel y-wings. How are we to know the designer's intent for the fires pray?




I think its unreasonable to enforce that position since every difference between scum and rebel y wings has been mentioned in ffg articles without them purposely hiding anything and the fact that they wouldn't design a pilot ability to be 100 % useless right out of the gate that relied on possible future upgrades to take advantage of. A change of that magnitude to a ships core mechanics would mentioned and explained well in advance and they wouldn't just sit on it until someone happened to figure it out
