29point free for all

[shotbyscott 1,147]

So a friend of mine will be 29 on the 29th .... to celibate we are having a 29 point 10 way free for all.

 

one ship maxed out at 29 points vs 9 other ships also maxed out at 29 point

My idea are

 

 

Black Sun Vigo with autothrusters

 

 

What would you if you were playing?

 

[shotbyscott 1,147]

Tycho

A-Wing Test Pilot

Chardaan Refit

Lone Wolf

Push the Limit

[Bahoola 5]

I would fly Jax with IV and AT

Motivation, his pilot ability allies him with every other ship making him less probable target. The best evade is not being shot at

Or annoys all 9 opponents and becomes target number one. In my experience Everyone hates Jax except the guy flying him!

VI Luke is an unappealing target. VI PTL refit Jake is really slippery and will move after most if not all. Lacks a punch but that's probably less an issue than staying alive in a FFA.

Tycho

A-Wing Test Pilot

Chardaan Refit

Lone Wolf

Push the Limit

 

I was going to say the same thing, except Jake and add Autothrusters:

 

Jake Farrell + Push the Limit + Lone Wolf + Autothrusters + Chardaan Refit + A-Wing Test Pilot

 

Lone Wolf is hard to turn down in this kind of game.  Another way to be an unattractive target would be:

 

Sigma Squadron Pilot + Stygium Particle Accelerator + Intelligence Agent

[Panic 217 1,857]

Strom

Title Accuracy Corrector

Ruthlessness.

[admat 486]

Cool idea! I'd go with your Black Sun Vigo + Autothrusters. Here are a few other options:

 

 

- Tarn (R7 Astromech, Shield Upgrade)

 

- Blue Ace (BB-8)

 

- Sigma (Fire-Control System, Stygium Particle Accelerator)

 

- Omicron (Mangler Cannon, Intelligence Agent, Advanced Sensors)

 

- Royal Guard Pilot (Push the Limit, Royal Guard TIE, Autothrusters, Hull Upgrade)

 

- Black Sun Ace (Predator, Shield Upgrade)

cool info please keep it coming

Great thread. I've been thinking all week of posting one similar for the 35-point range. That's the go-to format for short games at my store.

 

At 29 points, and with 10 ships out there, I feel like you need something that can survive well more than you need damage.

 

A naked Miranda Doni can just regen shields ever round while you let everyone else deal the big damage to other targets.

 

You could do N'Dru if you want major offense.

 

N'dru Suhlak (17)

Lone Wolf (2)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Engine Upgrade/Shield Upgrade (4)

Glitterstim (2)

TLT Warden. Unless someone brings a Shuttle or naked YV-666 you're going to have the most health in the board.

True, but I suspect that with the  TLT, you're going to be everyone's first target.

[R5D8 420]

Turr with VI and AT leaves you at 28 for the init bid and you get to be all over the place.

[Rakky Wistol 2,903]

Turr + LW+ thrusters or just PTL.

Omega ace or leader with PTL + engine or shield

ZAce+ PTL + EU + comm relay

[Skargoth 1,703]

I'm actually wondering if BTL title would be best with though. Unhinged allows a lot of freedom.

Last FFA we played ended up with a couple of T70s with BB-8 and Weapons Guidance. They just hung back and arc dodged until everyone else was mostly dead.

i think high pilot skill is going to be important .... shooting first will be a big thing

[DraconPyrothayan 6,107]

I don't, because 29 doesn't leave you enough points for a good build AND a good Pilot Skill. That's at 35.

 

I think the biggest thing will be: Playing the number of opponents against each other.

 

Omicron Group Pilot + Rebel Captive + Engine Upgrade + Intelligence Agent

No one wants RC's stress, so you'll survive the early onslaught.

With fewer opponents, RC and Intelligence Agent both improve, and with 10 hp, you'll probably be able to soak more than any opponent.

 

Blue Squadron Novice + R5-P9 + Autothrusters

Regeneration is overpowered, as combined fire is almost never a thing in this kind of format. Being able to run away at full speed, heal up to 3 shields over time, then come back into the fray means that they'll be damaging each other, and then you'll be at full health, and able to repeat the cycle.

 

Ionization is also super-powerful, as you force one poor sap into a bad position, where other folks will deal damage of opportunity. Meanwhile, you deal less damage yourself, so you're not seen as the threat that you very much are.

However, I can't for the life of me find a good Ion build for 29.

I'd also like to point out: Squad Leader doesn't require that the action be given to one of your allies.

If you want to go full politician, it may be the Elite Talent for you.

 

Also, an oddball ship, if you want to play with Team Chaos:

 

Rebel Operative + R2D2 + Ion Cannon Turret + Engine Upgrades/Moldy Crow

Its got the ICT, so you can nudge other folks into terrible positions.

Its got R2D(Crew) and 1 shield, so you have passive regeneration.

Its got your choice of Title (useful for generating a huge bank of Focii, with which you'll defend yourself), or EU (useful for not being a sitting duck).

 

Bombs also play into Team Chaos. Cluster Mines and Proton Bombs most specifically. And they're hilarious.

[DraconPyrothayan 6,107]

Also, as pointed out, Lone Wolf is ALWAYS active in this format.

[shotbyscott 1,147]

I thought a shuttle would be funny as you pull a 0 manurer in turn 1 and some one will end up in front of you at range 1

or a gold y wing with cluster bombs, move 3 to start and drop a cluster bomb....

[DraconPyrothayan 6,107]

Consider the TIE Bomber instead. It's more survivable, and cheaper for the cost.
