    Tel Trevura: Hull Upgrade, Push the Limit, Gonk, Title (Optional). 

    Here, for 38-50 points you have a 12 HP/2 Agi ship which could practically regen 1 shield every turn. 

    Mix with everything you want and fly for fun! 

    (personally I prefer to mix Tel with 2 other ships, my favourite are Scurrg and Unkar)

     

    You need to use EI instead of PTL if you want to double Gonk. The PTL action has to be from your action bar

    I am currently going through the same issue. I came back from GenCon with a complete lack of interest in the game I once loved and couldn't get enough of. My break is at about a month and a half and I still don't have any interest in playing. I keep checking for a new FAQ that will tone down the Bombs and Biggs meta but it hasn't happened yet. This break may prove permanent if the game keeps moving in the direction it's been on for a while.

    Had an interesting chat with somebody who often finds himself knowing things, and that the FAQ probably won't happen.

    Releasing the FAQ would mean admitting there's a leak to Disney, which they can't do, and the easiest solution is potentially to leave the FAQ as a rumour somebody made up online.

    So just to save face they leave the game in a bad way...sounds like every business ever. As long as they do something about JM5K's I don't really care if they scrap the rest. Mindlink is pretty much fine without jumps to abuse it. Adv Slam could use a tweak but I thought the action bar thing was dumb considering it was made to slam and drop bombs.

    I was recently wondering if Arc Caster brobots could be a good counter to the new immortal Biggs lists floating around. You could use the control version and drop the cargo chutes for the arcs. The problem is it would probably lose to most other lists.

    I think people are just starting to figure out how good the Upsilon is. When it first came out everyone wanted to just stick Palp on it but that really doesn't work very well. I am personally a big fan of Striden with PA, Hux, Systems officer and EI. I have only ran Kylo a couple of times because I am not a big fan of IWSYTDS. He always worked well and the condition is much less of an NPE on the pilot.

    The most successful wingman thus far has been:  Rexler Brath, Ion Cannon, TIE/D, Engine Upgrade, Cruise Missile = 51 points.  I'm not convinced this is the best, but it's what I'm used to, and the Ion Cannon+Stress combo has been solid.

    I think you forgot the EPT. It looks like it's probably Expertise judging by the points.

    I ran a store championship this past weekend and before we started I clearly explained how all the new upgrades would be ruled. Minefield mapper can only place as many tokens as you have bombs regardless of EM and cluster mines have to be placed as a set. Everyone agreed and we had a great day. I don't understand why any TO would ban anything because of this.

    Dengar being a higher PS than Boba clearly means they'll fudge around with the numbers for the hell of it.

    Theres something unsettling about someone flying a giant, asymmetrical toilet seat just as well as Han Solo or Vader

    In the books it clearly stated that Dengar was a better pilot than Boba. Boba was a much better bounty hunter and smarter. Dengar was a rival to Han in his youth and said to be his equal as a pilot so the pilot skill fits the lore.

    Why not a scum starter set?

    Scum has a starter. It's called Most Wanted and I wish they would do more sets like it. I would love a 2 X-wing 1 Y-wing Scarif pack with U-wing base plate for K2 and some goodies for all three ships. Everyone knows the U and X could use some love. The Auzituck makes the U-wing obsolete after only 1 wave.

    Great! I'm not sure whether to wish you good luck or not in the Nationals ;)

    Looks like a good amount of people are bringing two rosters, which is good news for me. One thing I definitely don't want to happen is us having too many Imperial or Rebel rosters.  I would really hate to have to stick an Imperial or Rebel roster on the wrong team. Bringing two rosters really helps us in that regard, as does bringing a scum roster, which is compatible with both teams.

    I don't know whether I even want to make the cut. I am really looking forward to this event. Should Selflessness be included in the unique cards that don't have to be drafted? Oh and I'm glad to see the Jumps and Attanni added to the banned list.

    For those attending the event at Gencon: what faction are you planning to bring and what team (Impreial or Rebel) do you want to play on? I'm trying to get a feel for how many squadrons of each of the three factions will be at grayskull 

    I am planning on attending depending on if I miss the cut at NA championships. I have my ticket just in case and I am planning on bringing a Rebel and Imperial squad. I thought about doing Scum but I just think to much of their roster will be above the power curve for the event(Attanni, Jumpmasters, Protectorate). I honestly don't care which side I play because I know I will have a great time either way.

    They got close but never discussed what is the single most important thing to me-Iconic ships! I thought for a minute they were going to talk about how they bring wave 1-3 ships up to the current power level. At least they acknowledged that the high PS non-arc dodgers are over costed but knowing about it and doing something about it are two different things. Getting to play those ships are what hooked most of us with the game so it's a shame we can't use them against anything past wave 6 and still have a chance to win without changing rules.

    You could drop the evade part of Scum Nym's ability entirely and I'd still think he was the better choice. The combo with VI, "Genius", and Bomblet Generator on him is just so much ace hate in a bottle, for a fairly reasonable price.

    They are certainly different play styles but I really like the area denial aspect of Rebel Nym. You can drop an Ion bomb in a corner and that corner is effectively off limits to any large ship or they fly off the board. Being able to drop a bomblet every turn and then decide which of the two is going to stick around is also great area denial.
