I’m the same as a lot of other folk on here. I don’t do discord and I am too old for /reddit. Anyone else have to put the DoB in to see if you are hip with the kids and all that??? The main thing I will miss on here is the sharing of ideas, builds and strategies. Even if to learn the tricks of the trades of factions you don’t play. People were always helpful on how to kill Rebel Beef or what to prioritise in list X, was a huge benefit. What will I do on a Friday now without @Cubanboy??? I am hoping like crazy that AMG will launch something like this forum in the new year, it’s unrealistic to hope for it sooner, but this resource would be too important to lose, because of something as simple as we don’t support the game anymore. Anyways peeps, I have had my share of highs and lows here, pretty sure I have said my fair share of dumb ****, but overall I think I have grown with the community. Merry Christmas, happy holidays or what ever you say in your neck of the woods. Be safe and hopefully Covid will be out of our lives soon. Australia says hi! Arch

That’s why you pair them with an Ace. Ace attempts to strip a token, Predators go crazy. Well, try to. This is version a million of my Tri list. New Squadron (76) Zam Wesell [Firespray-class Patrol Craft] (6) Boba Fett (3) Slave I Points: 85 (38) Fearsome Predator [Droid Tri-Fighter] Points: 38 (38) Fearsome Predator [Droid Tri-Fighter] Points: 38 (38) Fearsome Predator [Droid Tri-Fighter] Points: 38 Total points: 199 Not fully sold on Zams build, but in the right circumstances it’s still 5 3 die attacks coming in.

A big thing for me with spending force is - 1. Am I going to be shot at? 2. Am I at full force? 3. How likely is the opponent likely to evade, ie how many greens they rolling. 4. What is my likely position going to be next turn, ie blocked potential etc. 5. Can I initiative kill my target? plus many more. To me there are a lot of questions that go into force management than just can I hit my target harder.

The best thing I enjoy about playing Rebels is that is gives something for my main love, the FO, to trounce. But seriously, I have tried a few times to play Rebels and Resistance to a lesser extent, but I just can’t get into them. I think it’s because I like Silencer/Interceptor style flying and Rebels doesn’t offer that to me. Cheers for the post BoomOwl, given me somethings to try out.

It goes for any 0-1 Agility ships, except ones with reinforce, that they will melt under continuous focus fire. Add in if you’re an Ace with high agility, you can mitigate return shots too. A lot of the time it’s about how you engage, if you are faster, take your time. You don’t have to clean the board, this has been my hardest takeaway, given the rise of swarms. Kill enough to make it hard for them to kill you. Low agility ships tend to take lock actions too, if they do, it’s better not to be shot at, or at least do it from a 2 die turret. I have found 3 ETA’s to be amazing. Range 1 bullseye is not that hard with the aces. Still four die. I always take evade if I’m being shot at, helps conserve force and it’s better to be alive than possibly convert a hit or two. What are you using?

That’s great for your circle. But this forum is bigger than your circle and encompasses a wide range of players. Your group seems to have an elitist view, flying a net list still doesn’t make the player good and it could be something they enjoy flying. They may not be aware of such combinations as I said previously and it’s a long bow to draw to say it’s akin to cheating. I always find it hilarious when people think that they know what is good for us, like we are too stupid to know and thank god you are here to tell us. I reiterate, it’s a global forum for sharing ideas, if you don’t like it, don’t participate. No one is forcing you to.

If only there was a forum to share ideas and to maybe give the new players combinations they may not have thought of. Just sayin'....

Companies have a duty of care for their employees, because they do not subscribe to anti vaxxer psycho babble does not make them wrong. “You” are well within your rights to not get vaccinated, but with that choice goes consequences and responsibilities. As an employee, I would expect my employer to look after my health and as a consequence, my families health. Some Australian states have a no jab no play policy for their schools. Your child isn’t immunised, you do not get access to daycare, but there are exemptions that can be received. It’s not a hard and fast policy, but the intent is there. But to your point, one does not have to be forced to do anything, but that would be a consequence of your choices. Personal responsibility seems to be a swear word these days.

People arguing like over 200K people haven’t died in their country. if at worst masks don’t work? You are uncomfortable for a few months. If at best they work, you could save the life of a person with poor respiratory issues. The narcissism shown by people during this pandemic sickens me to my very core. My state in Australia has been Covid free for 5 weeks now, for months there were protests and calls for the Premier’s resignation for his harsh restrictions, but we are mostly out of it and life can get back to quasi normal.

This has been my conundrum in list building. Brilliant Evasion is useless without a force charge, but having Patience could mean you are spending 2 Force charges on defense...

Would base size be an important factor in list sizes? Ie double Deci is fine, but if you use a small base you need 3 ships. just a thought as list building is so diverse, depending on faction, that limiting it too much could be a bad thing.

I haven’t tried this one yet, but I thought a 7b would be good for the wet noodle aspect. I’m still not sure how I want to build Aayla, keep her naked for a bid, or patience up for force regeneration and survivability, no idea... New Squadron (56) Anakin Skywalker [Eta-2 Actis] (3) R7-A7 (3) Autoblasters (2) Brilliant Evasion (8) Stealth Device (1) Marksmanship Points: 73 (51) Aayla Secura [Eta-2 Actis] (2) Patience Points: 53 (49) Obi-Wan Kenobi [Delta-7 Aethersprite] (2) R4 Astromech (20) Delta-7B (2) Patience Points: 73 Total points: 199

I dont own any V wings but that does sound good, I proxied a third ETA and dial, was a bit of a mess and luckily it was a casual game but it was good for a test.

This was one of my trial lists, of about 1 million. New Squadron (56) Anakin Skywalker [Eta-2 Actis] (2) Brilliant Evasion (8) Stealth Device (7) Juke Points: 73 (49) Obi-Wan Kenobi [Eta-2 Actis] (2) Brilliant Evasion (8) Stealth Device (7) Juke Points: 66 (51) Aayla Secura [Eta-2 Actis] (2) Brilliant Evasion (8) Stealth Device Points: 61 Total points: 200 Aayla gets in faces and evades, focusing more on survival so that Obi and Ani can push damage through and not take damage until end game.

I think that’s a mighty fine idea, will give it a try out, see how it goes.

😳... R4 was for Daredevil... my word did I invest a lot of effort into that combo. You are absolutely right @gennataos, not sure where they will go, but the points should go somewhere else.

When I was list building a little while back I couldn’t work out why people weren’t taking Daredevil.... until I read Daredevil properly. So much brain dumb going on... so much lists to change. I want to run this, but I can’t justify buying 4 ETA’s. I love them a lot.

I wanted to show this from LaunchBayNext. Is a great mobile app, but I digress. OP is right, according to LaunchBayNext.

So it seems the app is ok, but it’s not too clear how the points are read.

A lot 😬. If I make up a lot, probability states I will have a higher chance of creating something good, but more than likely have just made up a lot of cr.... rubbish.

I love your ETA list, I’m just not buying 4 of them. But I am calling it now, the Worlds ship will be Yoda’s ETA...

Depends on what faction you fly.

Every HS change there is the same outcry. I totally understand it, I have a good friend who just started Empire before Covid hit, he has asked wtf does he do now? He likes the aces archetype, is still learning the game so doesn’t have deep list build knowledge. I like what you have done, there are options, people just have to find the options that suit them.

200 point, 6 round Swiss tournament, that was the meat and potatoes of tournaments. Everything else was normally a variation of that. Depending on size you can then top 32 etc.

This my Squinty ThiccBoi squad. only used it once so far, I like it a lot, but needs more games. New Squadron (39) "Rampage" [TIE/rb Heavy] (3) Tractor Beam (0) Jamming Beam (2) Maneuver-Assist MGK-300 (3) Intimidation Points: 47 (36) Saber Squadron Ace [TIE/in Interceptor] (2) Predator Points: 38 (36) Saber Squadron Ace [TIE/in Interceptor] (2) Predator Points: 38 (36) Saber Squadron Ace [TIE/in Interceptor] (2) Predator Points: 38 (36) Saber Squadron Ace [TIE/in Interceptor] (2) Predator Points: 38 Total points: 199 I have thought about dropping Predator down to Deadeye Shot? The new 1 point talent, so I could beef up Rampage with a Hull Upgrade.

This would be the worst time to make any serious changes, ie unpainted minis. A lot of people haven’t played due to Covid and it isn’t a big step to stop playing. I got out of 40K a million years ago because of the way GW worked, any suggestion that X Wing will go that way it won’t be hard to dump and run. I am more than willing to give AMG a go, but the lack of any information doesn’t build a lot of confidence. It has made me question will I buy the releases due at the end of November, AMG need to do something post haste to put the X Wing community at ease.
