  1. Coo idea, but an absolute head-mess to track and score.
  2. And that is how you get put on ignore lists...
  3. It looks like there are more than just two peeps chatting away there IG88E, and we are well off of topic in general. As for me, I get to try to herd cats all day and threaten to take Facebook Privileges away from slackers. ISP Sales Manager.
  4. One might even come to believe that is the point of it all. In their shoes I would love to have a suite of sweet releases to release on a specific day. And I would take great pains to make it so. Failing that, having fans scrabble over small slips here and there is a small comfort and whips up some sections of the fanbase into a frenzy.
  5. Why 2 Y-Wings and not a Y-Wing and an X-Wing to get the Rogue Squadron title I keep seeing requests for?
  6. Yes, but your solution does not seem to be an acceptable solution. It isn't the end of the world. Just an opportunity to try again.
  7. It is still rather large in my area of Australia, plus after a PM or two I was not only able to get in a tournament but also some casual games while I traveled in Denmark for the past couple of weeks, hell if I was in Copenhagen for one more day I would have been able to make their Regionals.
  8. As for obvious lists, well it means we might see other build than the obvious lists we currently see. If we can get people running the meta-ruling lists having to second guess themselves with the less obvious or down right wacky lists then isn't that a good thing over all?
  9. I am totally behind this concept. "Red Leader, I recognise that Interceptor as Baron Fel's by the marking, but I have never seen an Interceptor move like that, it must have had and Engine Upgrade" or "What is this? That shot should have killed that Y-Wing! Wait I see somethin...that bastard has welded extra hull plating to the ship!" Also, it means you don't know which of the ships is really the most dangerous, one might be holding a cheap EPT and one might be holding Prockets. A game of double bluff that appeals to me.
  10. 4. How do I use the search function in the forum to find one o the 50 previous threads about this?
  11. It is effectively a free win at the next level up tourney isn't it? In that case yes, it is a reward.
  12. When you really want top put the hurt on those low/no shield ships, why has no one mentioned Ten Numb with a Mangler Cannon yet? Guaranteed Crit as long you get 1 Hit. Or is he counted out for being good at other ranges as well? Season to flavour for the rest of the build and away you go.
  13. So they are in landing postion, which I assume means he isn't going flat out and needs the extra fine maneuverability that landings often need. Would this extra maneuverability be required when you have blown up a ship that was right in front of you (RB1 of course) and are trying to avoid getting all that carbon scoring on your paintwork?
  14. Well mine have been shipped and are on their way to the land of Oz.. Glad I got the pre order through them as apparently there are no 'Most Wanted' boxes anywhere in Australia due to some glitch from FFG.
  15. He/She gets you, just doesn't agree with you. Neither do I. Let us imagine for a moment that we are talking about a B-Wing. Nice ship and gets nicer with upgrades. So you have a Cannon cost already build into your ship, so you can pick whatever cannon you want. Ok, in this scenario what possible reason could there be to equip anything other than a HLC? The Damage output is superior to any other cannon upgrade, though the lack of crits is a minor trade off. Currently the 3 points extra to have one over the next expensive cannon is what keep people from running multiple B-Wings with HLC and other upgrades. So effectively it is the unique cost of the specific upgrade card prevents people from being able to spam them in lists. I have very little doubt that if there was a singular cost for a ship and all the upgrades were free you would only see a couple of builds for every ship, basically causing what happens to Fat Han to happen to every ship as people would see the other options as "sub-optimal" This issue is severely reduced when you can choose not put points on your Ship-A and instead put more points on Ship-B to cover any gaps in offense/defence/preferred play-style. Alternatively, if you dont put as many points on those ships you might be able to afford a Ship-Z for those last 12 points and give the opponent a whole other target to focus on.
  16. Could you "show your work" on this as the FAQ I read says it doesn't.

    Silly names

    Can someone explain the reasoning behind the previous names of Squints, Dupes etc. Never really understood them.
  19. Anyone called dibs on your collection... If not, DIBS! But seriously, sack up and tell your opponent that they are playing "incorrectly" (if you don't want to flat out call them a cheater) or move to a new opponent. Getting antsy on the innerwebs isn't going to improve your situation, even if it makes you feel better for a bit.
  20. I doubt you will have any shortage of people happy to pick it apart for you. I am happy to see where it gets me and my usual opponent. PM deets as you wish.
  21. I would go one simpler. These are Academy Test Ties. When the scrubs in the Acadamy are learning formations they need bright, clear and identifiable markers to associate sight recognition to their sensor results. "Awww man, Blue 1 is a head of me somewhere, where is he? Oh there he is." Of course when they pass the training they are expected to have learned how to identify ships without these training wheel methods. Sadly some Rebel have grown bold and assaulted the training grounds. Time for the pilots (and a visiting Veteran) to chase of the impertinent Rebels and make them taste Green Laser fire.
  22. I have been trying to find a way to include an E-Wing into the list and that is almost the Corran build I ended up with. Marksmanship is an improved focus for your double shot, but I added Experimental Interface to allow for a Barrell Roll or Evade for defence as well. Two Naked Bandits for lane blocking and a mildly tricked out Wedge (Expert Handling + R2). I call it "Double Tap and the Murder Machine" and have been dying to try it out.

    OT: Thrawn image

    Spiffy piece of work!
  24. Yeah, it is starting to look less like intent to discuss things and more just to be annoying. I hope I am wrong.
