    I prefer to call one-shotting toasting.

    Speaking of toasting Soontir Fel with Stealth at Range 3 through an Asteroid, happened after my Blue with an HLC rolled 4 hits and my buddy rolled 6 blanks. It was beautiful.

    I busted out my E-wing for the first time yesterday for two games. (One of them a standard game the other an epic game) Corran is turning into my favorite rebel pilot. In both games he did some pretty crazy things with his double tap ability. I've only ran this squad once but I really like it...

     

    Corran Horn: Fire Control System, Marksmanship, Shield Upgrade, R2-D2. 48 Points

     

    4 X Tala Squadron Pilots. 52 Points

    Isn't Corran just great? FCS is just an awesome auto-include on him. I just wish all the E-Wng pilots were a point or two less. I would recommend running that same squad but with E'tahn instead and allocating your points so that you can fit Airen Cracken with Swarm Tactics in there. I feel like Corran would do much better in a squad with more heavy support, like dual X's or B's, to make up for his turn in which he doesn't attack.

    The coolest thing I can see them doing is printing 3 separate compatible games ranging for TOR, Prequels and our current OT/EU. Have the tournament scene be divided up into 4 different formats: TOR-only, Prequel-only, OT-only and Legacy (all ships from all formats and still restricted by factions).

    Will it happen? Not likely. Will it be awesome? Of course it would.

    Predator + FCS is useful if you fire at a different target other than the one that's been TL'ed, you don't have to change your TL to the other target to reroll. It's great against TIE swarm when you have a TL on Howlrunner but feel like toasting the Academy TIE at range 1 because Howl is out of range or at range 3.

    And my favorite thing to do after using Corran's ability is to 5 straight the bantha out of there. So many people don't expect the E-Wing to be so nimble. They probably guess that you're going to bank left or right to get back into the fight ASAP, but road running it and doing a 3 K is just as fun.

    E-Wing! Love it!

    It's a great ship with great pilots!

    I'm running this...

    Corran Horn + R2 Astromech + Fire-Control System + Push the Limit + Engine Upgrade (45)

     

    I played him a couple of times in combination with...

    Han Solo + C3-PO + Gunner + Millennium Falcon (55)

     

    I like that 2-ship-list very much!

     

    Maybe I will try Corran with this upgrades in combination witch two B-Wings and Ioncannons ... could be fun, too.

    I usually pair up Han and Corran for Phantom fighting!

    Han Solo + Veteran Instincts + C-3PO + Gunner + Falcon title + Engine Upgrade (60)

    Corran Horn + Predator + FCS

    I could definitely seeing Corran playing as a flanker for two B's. He's kind of like a Soontir Fel for rebels, albeit not as cost effective or tricky, but close to being as deadly.

    Does anyone else find themselves loving their E-Wings more every time they play them?

    I've been running a two ship Han and Corran build lately and I've just been loving the E-Wing so much more than my other Rebel ships (with the exception of the B-Wing, of course). Corran's ability to shoot twice in around by giving up the next shooting phase is great pressure against enemy ships, and the E-Wing's great dial makes him great for gunning and running. Load him up with FCS and Predator and you've got rerolls all day!

    And then we have E'tahn turning your whole squad into crit-machines. Running him with B-Wings and going jousting against petty, little, shieldless TIEs is fun beyond belief! There's nothing I love more than chewing through imps. Fly him with Biggs or just point him at some poor sucker while another ship takes a shot at them

    Sure, the E-Wing may be a little expensive and have the chance of getting insta-killed by a Direct Hit, but they make up for it with an awesome dial, awesome agility and awesome named pilots.

    This is possibly your finest post. Well played, sir!

    On the contrary, It's harassment and bullying and shows that this place is populated by children who allowed to think they can get away with murder.

    I wouldn't compare it to murder. If you set yourself up to be mocked on the Internet, expect to be mocked.
