I opened both my ships and somehow didn't see a rules inset for large ship barrel rolls or asteroids, did I miss something?

It does depend on the rest of your list and your comfort level facing high mobility lists, but lately i've been wanting to run wedge with r3a2 and engine upgrades. Lets him move last and make sure he's pointed at something. And most of the high value targets that you really want wedge pointed at don't want to be stressed, so he helps you keep those targets in arc for everyone else. Stay on target also will work in place of engine upgrades but you end up wanting an secondary method for clearing stress.

Round my parts we call that lowriding and we do it frequently.

I was playing a few games with my friend, he was using falcons and I had a b wing bump, he couldn't low ride the falcon because I was low riding a few ships. So I stacked two more pegs on my b, every kill it got that day I stacked another peg, I ended the day with 6 or 7 pegs IIRC.

Only that the Experimental Interface on Chewie can't do anything in that build. Also, you probably want to squeeze the Outrider title onto Leebo if he has the HLC. Not necessarily, hlc with 2 dice turret is nothing to sneeze at. I'd jam a draw thier fire in this list, force your opponent to split up the damage.

AND further benefit from all the action passing, that's the real reason you want another ship in this list. All the ships you have are force multipliers, so a larger forced benefits more. I'd cut the assault missiles, R5d8 and two proton torpedoes for an A wing

One hope I recently had pop into my head would be for it to benefit non interceptors against turrets as well, if it could get more generic xs on the table id be thrilled

As of late I've seen more people who while they play casual are super passionate about the game and the state of the game. They're not win at all costs people but they see certain things happen and worry the fly casual rug could be pulled out from under thier feet. I come from a 40k background and out of habit every I see something new I need to be assured that it wont break the game and I am ready to fight it until I am shown it wont

This, id also consider dropping the shuttles engine to give Vader an offensive ept, preferably outmaneuver or predator depending on what phase of the game you want to improve

This is old but excellent, also IIRC its shot in my home state of Wisconsin

There's really not much point to playing small based ships competitively as anything other than filler. as of wave 5, half the top 16 at worlds was large based ships and its only getting worse. Mayyybe S&V will help but I'm not optimistic

Not really sure what autoblaster does for you on the b wings, if you're st range one against the swarm they're pretty happy about that. Advance sensors works a little better on the b wings, it lets you arc dodge a little better, etahn abaht is pretty solid, ties don't like 3 evade dice much.

I've been pretty pleased running him with Vi and advanced sensors, use the b wings dial to get your stress and the high ps lets you make sure you're going to shoot.

One application i've considered with porkins is stress bot and engine upgrades. My memory may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that porkins with VI is the rebels cheapest option if they want 3 attack dice and ps9 for chasing highly maneuverable ships. I usually just pay the extra 2 points for wedge in that situation, but I think he'd perform that role adequately.

I definitely feel your pain Blail, although I hit that with my rebel lists more than my imperial ones.

I'm not sure what i'd be more excited by, other versions of my favorite pilots in thier current ships, or seeing their abilities on another ship or both. Wedge in a ship with native barrel roll or boost would be a blast

I would love a droid that boosts pilot skill, even a 1 pt boost would let me run wedge with predator more often

I was rooting for the winner of the hothie-texx game to go all the way. It's a shame that one didnt get recorded. Dallas you're a great player and an underrated asset to the x wing community, I'll be rooting for you in the future.

Paul Heaver winning worlds just goes to show you that the Macho man was right, the cream rises to the top OH YEAH

It's ok because since i got into this game at wave 4 all the delays are letting me go back and enjoy older models. TIE swarm FTW

DTF is on Wedge, as Wedge has R2-D2, so the crit that he pulls away from Biggs hits a shield and regenerates. Cracken is in the fleet to give someone an action, as they're all colliding instead. He's great in a Fortress. Ok, so if hes stalling entirely as his plan i think i get it. You get so much damage mitigation and redirection that its still really hard to pull a ship off the board with the one or two rounds of fire the list allots.

I'd like to see a writeup from the guy who ran the fortress. Maybe i'm not as bright as I fancy but I don't see how that list actually works. I don't understand draw thier fire on wedge or what cracken is doing hanging around with naked x wings which seem to me like the rebel ships least optimized to working along side him. Whenever i run kraken i prefer him with B's or sometimes A's, ships where late round actions benefit them, only way i'd pair him with x's would be if R5p9 or R7's were involved

Falcons are mad OP

Hell I'm surprised they aren't completely spoiled already

I would drop the advanced sensors from the blue to give luke r3a2 and make one of the rookies a blue or make Luke Wedge. I like the idea but i don't think you gain much from two ps 8 ships, you still fire after whisper has decloaked and after echo if the imperial player has initiative.
