this is true, prox mines love low PS. I just want to experience the joy of dropping Turr Phennir in round 1 of combat with a proton torpedo with someone other than Horton Salm.

Why is the Highest PS for a ship that wants to shoot all the ordnance ever a 6? I'm feeling a great Rebel Bias here, all three dedicated ordnance carriers (B,Y,K) top at PS 8 while their Imperial Counterparts top out at 7 and 6 (TIE B and P) respectively. It makes them much less effective against elites

I'm not disagreeing with you, but they did have master level fencing instructors for the saber fighting in the PT.

I'd like to take a moment to educate everyone on why the lightsabre fights are so different in the two trilogies. In the OT, saber fighting was based on Kendo, aka as if they were each wielding a katana. It was also a more realistic representation of katana combat than some other movies that sport the things. The PT saber combat was based on French fencing, wielding rapiers. The rapier is a much more swift and flexible weapon, and the combat is much flashier to match. They also went with the flashy combat to show the mastery over their weapons the Jedi/Sith of the era had, where to compare Vader was missing all his limbs and could no longer move nimbly enough to properly use the forms and Luke didn't have the training. It is unintentionally a very good representation of what was lost with the fall of the Jedi. /rant

The X wing has like 11 named pilots. Let some other ships get more uniques first.

yeah, its about 3.3 feet

This looks like an amalgamated of everything in the droid army slapped together and then painted blue. There's the body of a drop ship, the cannon of a tank, and so on

Even without the fix, these guys got a whole lot better with proton rockets, put them on a tempest and watch your opponent make a tough call between it and your flanker

8X Academy Pilots, or if you really must 7 and howl with some stuff. Personally I've been having good luck with 34 point Soontir, 4 academy pilots and howlrunner

The fix is easy, have a mod that allows target locking in arc to r5 and makes r 2-3 missiles and torpedoes into r 3-5

So your gonna host a kegger and put faces to names right? if only, my place is big enough for maybe 3 more people XD

The BLT title makes a delicious sandwich out of your Y-wing for anything with a re-position and as such is generally a trap. Now the Bomb Loadout is a toy you should try out.

Its so weird thinking of you guys as people that live in the same/neighboring states as mine, gotta love being 15 minutes away from our regional.

you know, I've always wondered what the big crater between the engines was

All I have to say is if a BTL Y-Wing with an autoblaster is able to trigger the title against you, you need to re-evaluate how you are flying. All the droids in the game can't change that in the end, a Y-wing is just a Y-wing and unless you are running names with specific builds its turret just isn't scary anymore; especially if it can't fire out of arc. Sure, the bombs are a fun trick but they are easy to read and therefore easy to dodge. I want to like the Y-Wing, I really do, but any points invested in one bump it into the range of a generic B-Wing, and I'll take the B-Wing every time over a Y.

That's why you ptl off your evade, then green, then normal action, the economy is real.

Guys, guys (and gals), what you're forgetting is that if you drop VI you can also drop the ACD and not feel bad about it because you're not gonna be shooting first anyway. Instead Stygium Particle and PTL for mass shenanigans.

It happens every now and then, I've got a blank modification that was extra from a rebel aces box.

I'm gonna be trying this versiion of Dutch on Thursday, I'll pass it along if this thread's still going by then Dutch Vander -R7-T1 -BTL-A4 -Autoblaster Turret The idea is joust (or set up on the flank with the rest of your list doing its thing), get into range 2 of someone, boost into range one and have a target lock to punch them in the face.

If you're gonna spam Scyks, why not try this: Serrisu with Swarm Tactics, Tansarii Point Veteran with Bodyguard, and a Cartel Spacer with a Heavy Laser Cannon. That leaves you with 36 points (3 Z-95's or otherwise) to flavor with and keeps targeting priority a question.

I'd say if either lose 1 but win 2 its a neutral battle, and if either wins both 3 favors them

To be honest I'd say run a green squadron A wing with some toys instead of Blount, the Ion's nice for a turn but then its gone.

Of course. I actually know someone who's been running a pretty nasty Soontir Fel/Echo combo with decoy on Echo (and one other support ship who I don't recall atm, I feel like its a shuttle of some sort). Granted you'd have to fly it much more differently than you would against anything else, I feel it will be a nice counter to Mux.

I should say, with the release of Torkil Mux. As his ability triggers at the end of the activation phase, decoy will trade that pesky 0 away from your nice shiny phantom and give it to your high PS support, still netting you all the benefits of advanced cloaking device, or just allowing you to turn something to dust first in general as I'm guessing most lists with Mux in them will have a PS deficiency as a result.

Is it bad that I only want the Hound's Tooth to be a ship so I can have one painted with the hound's tooth pattern?
