Thanks for the support everyone. This really is an awesome community.

Hmmm....interesting. What about adding fleet officer when Wave 5 hits to Yorr.... I've pretty much been waiting for wave 5 to play brarh for just that purpose

hmmm? After you perform an attack that deals at least 1 Damage card to the defender, you may spend a focus token to flip those cards faceup. Interesting thought ... is a ship which is deald a facedown damage card due to the splash an Assault Missile addressed as defender? Ahh yah I could be wrong, any rules aces that can weigh in?

I never noticed before thus video that you flip all face down cards. That makes brath Insane with assault missiles against a tie swarm.

Well did you at least win the game?Kidding, kidding. That really sucks though. How long were y'all together? The game was a total blur lol, I couldn't tell you if I was rebs or imps. Was with her over a year and a half, and it was great up until the text I'm not going to tell you what way to go on this one mate-you know way more about the situation than me and will know whether fixing things or moving on is the right thing to do (for you- that's actually the most important thing) but I will say this; I've been there mate-losing something before you were ready to let it go is never nice but you will survive, whether it's moving on or fixing things, life will get better (and Xwing will still be a great distraction, rebel or imp...:-) Hah thanks man. Yeah that's the hard part, we always had great communication and she won't speak to me text me anything, a close friend of hers passed and the day before the funeral she told me she was trying to hold it together and thought she was gonna break down if she saw me, then two days later she dumped me, kinda has me going around in circles trying to pick a path.

At the start of September I lost my job and girlfriend within a week of each other. The job spot worked out and there were plenty of signs. The girl dumped me via text in the middle of a game of x wing. I feel ya brother.

A while ago I was running corran with vi, wedge , Dutch and a bandit, was kind of fun but not super functional. I would probably drop Dutch to a b wing and give corran an r2 if I wanted to try again.

A wrong test pilot and Arvel is the combo I'm most curious to test out, but it'll be tough with his low Ps to guarantee a collision sharing higher Ps

As stated above the only thing you miss out on is fire control systems, although that is a very nice upgrade. I personally am actually a fan of ten numb, but that's because I'm a sucker foot high pilot skill

I see what you did there

I really want to love vessery and this is on the long list of reasons, but for me in the current meta his Ps is too low for what he costs. Defenders strike me as pretty good falcon killers and the cluster middle combo seems neat. Plus it gives you an excuse to run bombers which are fun or ties fighters with targeting computer which is very silly.

For the models you have that's a pretty solid list. If you had more id suggest cutting the fire control system or r5 to make the rookie a blue. Good luck out there!

I definitely think this is a "new toy" effect more than anything. Tonight was the first time I took my a wings out of the box since the first week I started playing (about a month before wave 4) ran two prototypes to be annoying flankers and they definitely achieved that goal. I want to love the combos of greens with two epts but I don't think I've got it in me to run em over b wings. Jake will definitely find his way into lists with PTL and Vi.

So I ran the build I posted in two games tonight, ordinance Horton can definitely be nasty but you have to get your maneuvers right to stay at 2-3, game one I didn't and it got ugly for me, game 2 I kept him wayyyy back and wrecked house.

Add in engine upgrades to make sure you can react to whatever whisper does and you're set

Gahhhh you beat me too it!

Higher Ps is what it counts down too. Echo can do do not to an unprepared foe, but she checks under her bed at night for wedge and soontir.

Which is why I like Intimidation better, but no one seems to be heeding my advice. That's actually totally brilliant. I never acknowledged intimidate because I can't get my hands on a decimater. It seems a little hard to ram a phat han with Engine upgrades, but a pair of green squadrons or black squadrons with intimidate would be pretty fun and really annoying,

Just go all in, now you can deal with falcons and phantoms, and as a bonus, Dutch! 100 points Pilots ------ Horton Salm (39) Y-Wing (25), R2-D6 (1), Proton Torpedoes (4), Proton Torpedoes (4), Engine Upgrade (4), Veteran Instincts (1) “Dutch” Vander (31) Y-Wing (23), R7-T1 (3), Ion Cannon Turret (5) Prototype Pilot (15) A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2) Prototype Pilot (15) A-Wing (17), Chardaan Refit (-2) Part of me wants to cut the upgrades off dutch and one set of proton torpedoes to flechette torpedoes so we can get an extra z95 in there. But the thought of ps10 horton chasing down a phantom is too much to pass up. I can finally open my second y wing.

A very cool list actually, a little dependant on formation flying, flankers might hurt it, but there's enough redundancy to fight through action denial. Not sure how it would handle a phantom or Soontir though.

You could also try Lando Calrissian (54) YT-1300 (44), Veteran Instincts (1), Jan Ors (2), Luke Skywalker (7) Blue Squadron Pilot (24) B-Wing (22), Fire-Control System (2) Blue Squadron Pilot (22) I'm not a huge fan of three ship builds but it lets you use landos high ps to re-position your b wings with barrel rolls later in the turn. Decent amount of firepower too.

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if wave 5 was delayed so that people could actually enjoy rebel aces. Conversely, my ability to follow patterns leads me to believe this means no wave 6 for this calender year as originally hoped.

That would be neet, i especially want to run jake eventually but i think i'd have the same misgivings as I do with the current list. Don't know why but i'm really not a fan of HLC, maybe I haven't played it enough though.

How often did you use the Advanced Sensors? I rarely use them and prefer Fire Control System, the poor man's Push the Limit. That would free up the point for VI, though I would almost prefer Adrenaline Rush. With VI, you're only guaranteed to out-pilot Phantoms...the threat of Han/Soontir/Vader + VI is still there, plus you never know when Roark will show up. Being able to K-Turn then Boost would be highly unexpected, or being able to focus or TL at a key moment shouldn't be discredited, either. With keyan pretty regularly, I did a couple barrel roll into red maneuvers with him to gain an unexpected firing position that really messed with my opponent. I don't think anyone runs Soontir with VI instead of ptl so I'm not tremendously worried there. No one local plays fat Han, he does scare me a little but I'm hoping wedge and two b wings prove problematic for him.
