Cerebrawl reacted to Gupa-nupa in How much will this hurt?
I think that (in addition to reddit) the GSP discord is another good option. From my experience the standard x wing discord is sorta dead.

Actually the posts always slow down around the holidays, I’ve been here since 13 and it’s always been this way.

Well, now I know why I cannot find very old content out here.
They've already begun shutting down things.

Cerebrawl reacted to Matanui3 in A Reasonable Superweapon
Having it on a 2-die hit-check makes it interesting.
More like the Out Of Order once the protagonists get done with them. No amount of flimsy plasteel can measure up to Plot Armor.

The ultimate power in the galaxy??
The New Order. . .a nice start.
The First Order. . .arrogant losers.
The Final Order. . .a lame ending.
The Penultimate Oder. . .never heard of them.
Now, FEAR THE POWER OF THE
ULTIMATE ORDER!!!!
Comes in a wide variety of colors and when not routing insurgents can also be used to make butter cookies.

Cerebrawl got a reaction from ForrestGrump in Coming back after like a year
Old T's ability requires him to be in the enemy's front arc, as does Fearless, so it's a good match for him. Predator allows you to arc dodge and get a reroll, but that means his ability is not in effect.

Pick up Hotshots and Aces expansion. Lots of useful stuff in there, including a pair of autoblasters.

So this is playable since the last points. Could it be good? At least they're i3 and have some form of double mods.

Cerebrawl got a reaction from eljms in Return of the meme list (Scum, Ext)
Fair point, but the 5 Kihraxz list was a long running meme here on the forum, back when you could just fit 5 cartel marauders. I figure'd I'd update that.
I tend to prefer flying either 4 ships, or 6+ in Scum. Either 3 around 50-60 and a 30 point filler, or 6-7 ships in the 24-33 sort of range.

Cerebrawl got a reaction from Brunas in Carolina Krayts is the best X-Wing podcast
I started playing 40k in 2nd edition. It was unashamedly, gloriously, OP, all over the place. It was truly epic. I kinda miss it.
Balance was all over the place, and heroes were crazy powerful compared to the rank and file, but it was fun. Lots of vivid memories of out of control power/mechanics doing silly stuff. I once watched a game where a piece of Ork artillery had a shot bounce all over the map for about half an hour, as the player simply wouldn't roll misfire. It decimated both armies.

By the way, the app also doesn't work. And there's a free alternative called Battlescribe that they're fighting to get rid of at the moment, which works a thousand times better than any half-functional piece of crap they've made so far. At least it doesn't link to a Google Drive pdf of the Rules Reference anymore.

Heh. Based on the $$ I've dropped on X-Wing over the past few months, it's kinda funny to think of it in terms of a "poor man's" anything. 😎🍺

Cerebrawl reacted to Cpt ObVus in I give up. How do I counter Republic-beef
Soontir Fel, Sun Fac, Major Vonreg, Anakin, and Fenn Rau all had a meeting and talked about it, and called to tell me they’re really, really, really not afraid of Republic Y-Wings.
Like, I’m not saying they can’t be killed by massed two-die fire. But on the list of things these guys are afraid of, Republic Y-Wings might be dead last.

Cerebrawl got a reaction from CoffeeMinion in HMP Gunship help
The config makes it hyper maneuverable, sort of like a StarViper. Practically guarantees you have arc coverage even on squirrely aces. The 4x HMP archetype basically hard counters aces.

I think on the whole that you can dislike a movie or movie series for reasons other than political/social ones. Sometimes a movie just stinks.

Nope, it's a "acquire a lock", not "perform lock action". Dutch can't share it.

Cerebrawl got a reaction from CoffeeMinion in Republic Strategy for New Players on a budget
Assuming your family member doesn't mind you proxying an upgrade card(wolfpack) you could play this without purchasing any more models:
104th Battalion Pilot (42)
Wolfpack (4)
Synchronized Console (1)
Ship total: 47 Half Points: 24 Threshold: 5
Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Synchronized Console (1)
Ship total: 30 Half Points: 15 Threshold: 3
Gold Squadron Trooper (25)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Synchronized Console (1)
Ship total: 30 Half Points: 15 Threshold: 3
Obi-Wan Kenobi (49)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)
Ship total: 53 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 2
Jedi Knight (37)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (2)
Ship total: 39 Half Points: 20 Threshold: 2
Total: 199
Wolfpack lets you get locks with your jousty torrents and ARC, and synchronized console lets you spread the locks around to make sure you get your ordnance shots off. Obi is a great pocket ace, and the jedi knight is either a pocket ace against low initiative, or if out-initiatived: one of the best blockers in the game.

Cerebrawl got a reaction from Cuz05 in Scum players, what you flying in EXTENDED? What you winning with?
Been thinking the same, but another alternative is Dets and fuses. You could slow-roll the engagement, drop bombs, put fuses on them, then do the close range engagement and drop another set. "You can't avoid the bombs, GL HF". In other words, try to range the first engagement to happen at r3, then drop bombs with fuses, and use your low ini to close in for a r1 engagement with 1 forward/banks, and then drop the second set and maneuver past your opponent. It's going to be nigh impossible for them to avoid being bombed, and many will be hit twice, or more.

The sacred text of the Krayts. Read it have you? A page-turner it is not.

I'd go Fearless, Zam Wessel, Proton Bombs. Though going Predator, and giving all 3 firesprays Thermal Detonators to just carpetbomb the place has a certain appeal.

Cerebrawl reacted to KingmanHighborn in What's coming next? つ ◕◕ ༽つ Summon New Announcement ! つ ◕◕ ༽つ
Is that why the critics hounded Kelly Marie Tran with racist attacks because they didn't like her character? To the point she had to quit social media? I mean that's at the very least the majority of the critics of the sequels. You might be have a different reason but you're in the minority.
Or more to the point:
And yes there's two examples of prequel haters going to far and I hate those people for bullying the actors, but the hate today towards Rey, Rose, and Finn is directly racist, and misogynist/right-wing in origin.

Dumb question before I let this go, and I'd like to hear @KingmanHighborn on this too. Where do the women of youtube fit into this 'man baby youtube' angle your jiving on? Do opinion personalities like That Start Wars Girl and Geeky Sparkles from Clownfish TV just not matter? Or... what? Like you gotta admit, to just call out the men, some of which are distasteful granted, then isn't it misogynistic to just ignore that there are women saying the same thing on the same platform? Especially when those women are pretty staunch feminists themselves? And add to that how you reckon I could be racist for being one of the many who say Boyega got shafted in his role because he was black, when John himself has come out and said the same thing? Fair warning, my family is multiracial so... Y'know. Truly it's curious the hoops your jumping through to discredit a statement with personal attacks that are unfounded and applied in blanket statement, instead of acknowledging that the movies were just bad.
I ask one thing, Do not lump me in with filth who stooped to harassment of actors because of their work and not the directors, writers, and produces who created it. When I cast blame, I put it where the buck stops: The production leadership.
Jarjar was a fun character, actually one of my favs(Shakespeare fool characters are always fun) and Ahmed is the OG trailblazer of CGacting in big budget productions by two years. You can tell Serkis to sit his tuckus down on that one and accept his second place. Tell him I said so too. Jake did nothing wrong and I blame George for any poor acting quality on that one since he sucks at writing kids lines(GL ain't good with kids actors, seriously, have you seen the IndyJones movies?) Kelly and Daisy are great and I got no qualms with them for acting a terrible script other than to say they were better than that and shouldn't of accepted roles that were beneath them. Kelly would've made a great Mulan come to think of it. Too bad D bucked that one up as well😕
PS @Cpt ObVus we're plenty cool dude. It wouldn't be any fun if we just agreed on everything. Forums are for different ideas. Even when they clash.

Rogue-class(Xanadu's Blood), Dunelizard, Vaksai, Rihkxyrk, Gauntlet, Krayt. Also both Black Sun Syndicate and Hutt Cartel used V-wings...
But especially the Rogue-class. Cad Bane's ride.
