If you're adding a focus with the laser targeting and changing that result to a hit with a Force/focus token, then predictive shot isn't doing much for you right? Because it's based on the number of hits or crits you have, so ships are still likely to have up to three green dice to roll. Though I guess it's nice for when you don't get that bullseye arc. I just don't know if I want to spend a Force on that when he's already potentially spending one to reposition and another for his pilot ability.

I think that's the idea behind predictive shot. Two dice vs two dice works in the attacker's favor. However, Ashoka a) having a bullseye and b) having a force to spare is going to be unlikely when you combine her initiative and pilot ability. I'd almost lean toward Synchronized Console on her. Spend her target lock to give one of the other ships a target lock.

This is usually the case. Start reinforcing with him and keep him close enough to the others to coordinate actions. Jam isn’t a terrible choice either if someone has a TL on him or another ship. If you haven’t tried Adv Optics on Kylo, I highly recommend. As for QD, I like Fanatical because once that third (or fourth) shield goes, she only gets stronger. Elusive is not an upgrade I care for because it doesn’t automatically work, even though it can be helpful.

Gonna be the Republic for a good while. The Force component is my favorite aspect of 2.0.

Not when they already have access to a post-maneuver boost/barrel roll that doesn’t take away their standard action. And a droid that lets you do it after a red manauver for less points than afterburners.

I'm glad @theBitterFig found the rules reference. No arguments from me. But an app that can make upgrades and points dependent on other factors, I can't imagine this being difficult if they wanted to change the rules. That's why the app exists: to adapt and add variables.

Oh and stealth device too, I guess.

I've noticed in the official app that adding the Delta 7B title, which lowers your agility, doesn't affect the cost of adding a shield/hull upgrade. Is that because it's still part of the list building step? I feel like if you're taking the title to lower your agility it should make those upgrade cheaper.

You have to have an astromech equipped to take it.

I just... don't care for Mace Windu. 3 force tokens is super great. But the ability just don't work for me. How many times are you taking red maneuvers in a game? 2-4 max? And are you always going to recover a Force charge when you do? Maybe. I like Luminara a little better. Sure, the defender can still spend a focus/calculate/force to make the changed result back to a hit, but that means spending a token they can't save for the missiles.

That's a really good thought actually. And if you keep Plo close, he can pull the disarm off Anakin if Anakin still ends up with a better shot than Plo that round.

Valid concern. I guess the hope/idea is to fly this list vs the Separatists who will have a lot of lower I swarm approaches. But yeah, against Resistance Aces or something like that, it's going to be challenging to find the right time for the first engagement.

Except they have better initiative, better abilities, and more force tokens than A-Wings. Those are major distinctions.

Yeah that’s my concern. Plo and Obi can help out by using a focus to keep a Force or so in tact instead of depleting their charges every turn. Let’s also not forget this is a list of I6, I5, and I5 pilots who can take potentially multiple actions per turn.

Right, the transfer doesn’t count as spending it, but who he’s transferring it to likely will.

I5 and I6 pilots who can boost or barrel roll after their manauver should not have problems lining up bullseye arcs. Also Plo and Obi-Wan work well together.

Originally called this "Triple Deltas" but that was a little misleading given none of the Sprites have the Delta title... Most up-to-date version of my list as of August 2019: New Squadron (62) Anakin Skywalker [Delta-7 Aethersprite] (6) R2 Astromech (20) Delta-7B Points: 88 (47) Obi-Wan Kenobi [Delta-7 Aethersprite] (6) R2-A6 (4) Calibrated Laser Targeting (5) Sense Points: 62 (44) Plo Koon [Delta-7 Aethersprite] (4) Calibrated Laser Targeting Points: 48 Total points: 198 Originally: Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Plo Koon - 59 •Plo Koon - Serene Mentor (51) Calibrated Laser Targeting (8) Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Obi-Wan Kenobi - 63 •Obi-Wan Kenobi - Guardian of the Republic (53) R4 Astromech (2) Calibrated Laser Targeting (8) Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Anakin Skywalker - 74 •Anakin Skywalker - Hero of the Republic (60) R2 Astromech (4) Calibrated Laser Targeting (10) Total: 196/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

Yeah, should probably go Clusters over concussion now that I look at it. I still like Ashoka over Obi-Wan though because she can use her ability on odd ball and then battle meditation on the generics. I dropped the config because she’s likely to not have and force tokens to spend the added focus into a hit and I needed a few points to spare. V-19 Torrent Starfighter - Blue Squadron Protector - 36 Blue Squadron Protector - (29) Cluster Missiles (5) Synchronized Console (2) V-19 Torrent Starfighter - Blue Squadron Protector - 36 Blue Squadron Protector - (29) Cluster Missiles (5) Synchronized Console (2) ARC-170 Starfighter - •“Odd Ball” - 67 •“Odd Ball” - CC-2237 (55) Predator (2) •R4-P44 (5) Synchronized Console (2) •Clone Commander Cody (3) Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Ahsoka Tano - 60 •Ahsoka Tano - “Snips" (47) R4 Astromech (2) Synchronized Console (2) Battle Meditation (9) Total: 199/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

My initial idea of a 4-ship Republic list. I'm kinda loving the idea of Syncronized Console. It creates a cascading effect of TLs. Also Concussion missiles may be really useful vs. Separatist droid lists. V-19 Torrent Starfighter - Gold Squadron Trooper - 33 Gold Squadron Trooper - (25) Concussion Missiles (6) Synchronized Console (2) V-19 Torrent Starfighter - Gold Squadron Trooper - 33 Gold Squadron Trooper - (25) Concussion Missiles (6) Synchronized Console (2) ARC-170 Starfighter - •“Odd Ball” - 67 •“Odd Ball” - CC-2237 (55) Predator (2) •R4-P44 (5) Synchronized Console (2) •Clone Commander Cody (3) Delta-7 Aethersprite - •Ahsoka Tano - 62 •Ahsoka Tano - “Snips" (47) R4 Astromech (2) Battle Meditation (9) Calibrated Laser Targeting (4) Total: 195/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

I'm gonna need to paint one of my Delta's like this.

Maybe something like this? Seevor is just solid and 4-LOM is annoying. Forcing blue maneuvers may help your Loks determine where their arcs should be. Scurrg H-6 bomber - Lok Revenant - 51 Lok Revenant - (43) Dorsal Turret (2) Veteran Turret Gunner (6) G-1A Starfighter - •4-LOM - 63 •4-LOM - Reprogrammed Protocol Droid (49) Advanced Sensors (10) •Mist Hunter (2) Tractor Beam (2) Modified TIE/ln Fighter - •Captain Seevor - 35 •Captain Seevor - Noisy Nuisance (30) Juke (5) Scurrg H-6 bomber - Lok Revenant - 51 Lok Revenant - (43) Dorsal Turret (2) Veteran Turret Gunner (6) Total: 200/200 View in the X-Wing Squad Builder

Yeah, it's like Predator on Recoil.

Em. *checks notes* *looks at feet* Yeah. Exactly like any other pilot of this craft.

Calibrated Laser Targeting is pretty much an auto-include on Bariss. Adding a focus to your bullseye attack then getting to spend a force to change it to a crit hit.

In one list? I highly doubt it. That would mean each pilot would be 50 or under. The lowest Force user I can think of right now is a generic Inquisitor at i3 with one Force at 38 points. I'd expect only the generics would be under 45. But I guess we'll know this week!
