Space Hunter Beef Patrol

[WarTurtle 139]

After coming in dead last in my Store Championship today (Thank you 5 blank greens on a cloaked Phantom first combat pass), I have come to the realization that I SUCK at flying the big ships. My Whisper/Rear Admiral Keanu list got molly-womped all four rounds today. I managed to kill ONE Acadamy Tie. In four rounds. Total.

So yeah, now that I've kvetched about it, here's how I plan to fix it. I'm gonna run nothing BUT the fat bottom girls. Here we go.

Patrol Leader w/ Rebel Captive - 43pts

Omnicron Group Pilot w/ His Darthness, Lord of Throat Hugs - 24pts

Bounty Hunter - 33pts

Total - a smooth 100/100 even

The plan is to give myself nothing but Darth to rely on so that I must needs position myself accordingly. The RC on the Laser Sponge is simply there to give the other guy something to think about. Plus, it's what, something like 30 hull/shields...check that, 33 H/S. That should keep me flying for a minute or two.

Anybody else ever made a spite list as a training exercise?

If so, what was it? Who hurt you? Show me on the dolly...

I have a 75 point rear admiral I built after not doing enough damage in my last tournament. I've yet to test it in-game.

Sweet Mary and Joseph on a donkey! 75 pts on one ship. God speed, good sir. May the Force be all the way up in your stuff. Please lt us know how that goes.

So noone else hate-flies ships to get better?

I took a YYYZ build as sacrifice to the dice during league in the hopes that I would be rewarded during the first store championship in the area. It did fairly well, and then performed as expected/planned. Which was lose.

As for if the sacrifice worked? I had a great first match. Super hot dice and then the second game everything went cold. Sub zero. Finished the store championship 3-3 at 19th.

I will never sacrifice tournament prep with flying terrible lists again. (At least until tomorrow afternoon when I fly the Y's for funzies again).

I dunno about that. I did manage to score the absolute fewest points possible while still managing to kill something. I'm really just hoping that flying those beasts will force me to get better. I can theory-wing with the best of them, but when it comes to actually taking the toys out of the box and rolling the bones...meh Edited January 26, 2015 by WarTurtle

I've flown that list before and it's a lot of fun would love to see it win a store champs

[WarTurtle 139]

I am grudge flying them. I know it will fusstrate (TM HHH) the crap out of me, but I need to know how they move if only to destroy them better. Besides, if I can learn those big bases I can only imagine it will help my small ship game.

Enough about me sucking. Anyone else flown something that just was NOT your jam, or even your jelly?

Personally I have yet to fly a ship I can't figure out. That being said, I rarely foray into the large base end of the pool, but my Rear Admiral+Soontir works wonders so I'm wondering how my bounty hunter/OGP game will be. I think I'm gonna go set up an obstacle course to go fly through now.
