I love it, puts even more of a bullseye on the aces.

Auto bumping your own ships. Good or Bad for the game?
Nyxen replied to The_Brown_Bomber's topic in X-Wing
I think it would be better if you bump the same ship more than once in a row you start losing evade dice, taking multiple free hits is plenty enough incentive to actually play the game you showed up to play right? -
outmaneuvre against a fat falcon is only useful if you have it on every ship because then he'll just use it to block one damage somewhere else in your attack list.

So I was playing with ideas for Carnor Jax lists and I came up with this: Carnor Jax -Expert Handling -Shield Upgrade -Royal Guard Title -Experimental Interface Soontir Fel -Push the Limits -Royal Guard Title -Targeting Computer -Shield Upgrade Dark Curse Academy Pilot The list that just says 'NO!'.
-
What I like to run when going with Y-wings is this 2X Grey Squadron Pilots (I know they're not golds but eh) with Ion Cannon Turrets @X Green Squadron Pilots with Chaardan Refits, Predator, and Outmaneuvre. It makes a really good 'set em up and knock em down' list

The store I play at has an extensive demo set, one of most everything. It may not allow for certain builds but being able to go over to the demo wall and take down the newest shiniest thing and play with it is pretty cool.

I love that laws requiring a driver's license or barring that the /free/ State ID is considered racist and evil.

I managed to proton bomb a Phantom the other day (no direct hit/minor explosion tho), the thing's fine

Initiative determines who places the first asteroid and who moves/shoots first in case of the same pilot skill. It is usually determined by whoever has less points in their list, or by die roll if at the same point values. If you have an interceptor like Soontir in your list you're gonna want the other guy to have it so you can make the most of your boost/barrel roll. As far as Mauler Vs. Backstabber goes, if you need a flanker, Backstabber's better. But since it looks like you'll be flying formation with your T.I.E.s I would say Mauler is the better pick.
-
with that one extra point you could also up backstabber to Mauler Mithel to fly with your mini swarm

Scum upgrade cards flechette cannon and Man??? cannon

Fire all of your guns at once and explode into spaaace! -
I think the difference is in how well a ship uses dice. For example, put Farlander in that situation instead of Corran and the above-average luck doesn't matter as much. You've only got one green die, so even if it's an evade every time you're still taking damage and exploding. But with the e-wing you have enough dice to negate all incoming damage if you roll well enough, which means that when you roll above average for a while you can end that lucky streak with no damage at all and a very frustrated opponent. (The downside is that you're also vulnerable to bad luck. Farlander still has his 8 HP even when he rolls all blanks on defense, while Corran has a habit of exploding in one turn when the green dice roll blanks.) As I said, my main gripe is the mentality of "the dice are to blame." Yeah, in this one very limited instance, sure, maybe stuff didn't work out. But you're just as likely to experience a setup where everything you roll is exactly what you want, and I've never seen somebody say "I was totally outplayed in my game today, thankfully the other guy couldn't roll well at all and I was on FIRE!!!" The double standard is what gets under my skin. When we lose because of the dice, it's because we lost because of the dice, but when we win because of the dice, it's because we are just that awesome. I've won because of the dice before. I was running expose+experimental interface on the decimator and rolled two crits and all hits/focus every attack save maybe one. it was gross and the game shouldn't have been that easy.

You challenge the Devil to a game of X-Wing for your Soul. What do you Fly?

Darth Vader -Engine Upgrade -Outmaneuvre -Proton Rockets Marek Steele -Engine Upgrade -Push the Limits -Proton Rockets Tempest Squadron Pilot -Proton rockets Bring it on Satan, BRING IT ON!!! -
Or maybe just shoot him first? If you see an R2-D2 astromech you see a ship that you don't want reaching the endgame against.
-
But Proton rockets on Tycho! Free TL+Focus from behind for the dunk!
-
I play mine slow up the middle, letting a Tempest Squadron fly up their gullet with a Procket in his pocket and echo dancing on the wings.
-
Ah I forgot that Jan was a once per round, oops. In that case I've got some tweaking to do but that was the intention, Kyle giving Farlander evade tokens.
-
So I was looking through my Rebel Aces Pack, and this just hit me Keyan Farlander (36 total) -E2 mod -Kyle Katarn -PTL Ibtisam (34 Total) -E2 mod -Jan Ors -PTL Dagger Squadron Pilot (30 total) -E2 mod -Lando Calrissian -FCS The idea being B-wings with evade tokens everywhere while still dishing out a respectable amount of damage.
-
I would go Airen Cracken Etahn A'Baht -R2-D2 -Elusiveness -Sensor Jammer Tala SquadronX3 Airen gives actions to Etahn for defense, etahn pumps everyone's shots, and the tala's go to town.
-
*SIIIIIGH* if it were meant to be real we wouldn't call it fiction.
-
you could also drop to 4 bandits with concussion missiles+munitions failsafes and put a shield upgrade on arvel
-
You could also drop the blue squadron on both of those lists to get another Z, upgrade both to tala's or one named, and take ordinance for both.

WOOH HIS ABILITY IS SICK DUDE, I use him naked simply for his ability. He's a fake PS7 TIE defender on the rebel side, for only 26 points, and most opponents dont realize that until I pull off back to back K-turns He gets even better in wave5, when "stay on target" comes out. currently, he works pretty well with the rebel transport astromechs, namely R4D6 and R3A2 I can see why the shedding stress is nice, but on a ship with only three hull I feel you need all the health you can get.
-
His ability is just so... bluh. I could see it on a more nimble ship, but on an X-wing it just seems bad.

Why whisper when we can be so loud that we ECHO!!!-Echo-cho-o ...I'll go sit in the corner now XD
