I feel like it's a "the sky has fallen, everybody carry on" thread

Since wave 5 has been completely spoiled and on some tabs for almost two months we've definitely already had our sky is falling posts. Its been rolled in with some of the fat han skyfalling as we get more obscene large based turreted ships.

I'm usually not a huge fan of lists with multiple duplicate models, but I'm kind of excited to try wedge with stay on target supported by 3 golds with ion and title. Feeling like that should give me an even chance against falcons

The best way to counter falcons is other falcons. Phantoms can be beat with good asteroid placement and good flying.

RELAX, THE TRIGGER IS RELAX!!! Now thats out of the way lets celebrate this new feature that will help out TIE Interceptors with a harmless gasoline fight ; ) As long as the card is 2 points or less I will Aaron Rodgers R-E-L-A-X, if it is more i will Zoolander relax. Your post here is Magnum. Maybe that's what autoth- is, it lets you turn left lol

Don't know if its been suggested but it could be like stygmantium particle accelerator "whenever you perform a boost or barrel roll action you may gain an evade token" I would love that, a more reasonable version would probably be take an evade action, but given that fat hah won worlds to the surprise of no one (not to take anything from Paul, his flying was brilliant and he was smart enough to tweak the list in an optimal fashion) FFg should really go with the former

Thatd be awesome, I'd run not so fat han all day everyday

On the other hand, she's only been in the winning squad one of those three times. =P But yeah. Howlrunner should be banned from tournaments along with banning C-3PO from being used on YT-1300s. To be fair, getting rid of Howlrunner would open up a swath of design options for Imperials that are currently limited by her. As a purely Imperial player (until S&V hits), I am all for this. a swath of options that all get wrecked by fat Han. Like everything else it looks like

yeah i know. its not making for entertaining viewing.playing for time is sadly a symptom of timed competitive play. Can FFG errata stall tactics? i think this might be done with the fortress tactic in the future, i guess its taking shuttle auto bumping to a new level. I have no problem with bumping on the opening turn to delay committing a single ship, especially in a game that doesn't have reserves, but some of the play I've seen lately is discouraging to say the least.

Falcons, fortresses and stall tactics?! doesn't look like x wing to me :\

If you're trying to bump the rebel lists the way to go is either 3zs or corran horn for support, that keyan is neat but I think you limit your firepower and versatility. He does a bit of what Han does. edit: forgot to mention, I've heard people running Han with prototype pilots with cluster missiles, I'd want to try two greens with refit and predator, I think itd stack up nice against rebel swarms that match up well against Han.

My local b&n had two on the shelf today

I think you can get an extra tie in that first list, I may be having a brain fart but that looms like 88 points to me

I see a female playing, obviously out thread about inclusiveness was a success!

wow talk about getting your monies worth out of that upgrade

I'm not sure how chewie is still alive, i count 8 damage on him

No gunner on the falcons really hurts them against high agility lists, you get to almost guarantee a damage every shot which really matters when you're only rolling a few dice.

My only concern about the once per turn limitation that some have suggested is that gunner will still wreck our day.

So is the twitch stream not working/in action? I've checked twice today and no joy

The generics cost in the named x/ upgraded b wing territory and those represent better options. I imagine blackmoon might have been more viable prior to wave 4 when Ps wasn't so important

Do yourself a favor and run predator on wedge instead. He's the least maneuverable of the group and therefore the easiest for your opponent to shutdown outmaneuver on. Also outmanever is useless on wedge against 1 agility ships. List seems fun otherwise

http://teamcovenant.com/hothie/2014/10/13/the-evolving-shark-chapter-2-the-drunken-shark-opening/ It's an opening set up I devised to be flexible and unpredictable. But I think that's what I'm going to call my Worlds squad, posted above. Do you use drunken shark as your opening exclusively now? Or do you still mix in boxs/death blossoms

I don't recall hearing that it would help against non turrets. I definitely could be wrong, but i listened to the interview more than once after people started claiming the designers said autothrusters would also fix the advance and I don't recall hearing it would help against non turrets. If i'm wrong could you link the spot in the clip? I thought it was in the interview. If it is not it must have been in my conversations regarding the playtesting. I definately don't recall any mention of helping the advanced. If it's a good card though, and the advanced fix doesn't use the mod slot (they really use it now) then it could be useful, but not a fix. If it's good enough to "fix" the advanced own it's own it's either busted or too expensive to be useful to other ships. There was nothing in the interview about Authth- being the fix to the advance, but by virtue an advanced fix being mentioned in the same interview people took it and ran.
