Give me a list you always go back to...

[Krimsonscythe 14]

The list can be less relevant than it once was meta wise but you just seem to gravitate back to it every so often...

 

For me it's Miranda and the B Boys;

2x B Wing w/ Hull Upgrade and Accuracy Corrector

Miranda w/ TlT, Lando and Adv Slam...

 

Simple, tough and well, Miranda...

It's always RAC and Whisper.

But what really calls to me from time to time is the Howl Crack Swarm... Ah, memories.

[BleakSquadron 405]

I'm with rinzler here, I always come back to tie swarm. It is a little tiring to fly, but so thematic and rewarding.

I'm not nor do I think I ever will be an Imperial player but I will say a precision flown swarm is a beautiful thing to watch....

I've been playing a little over a year now but never really had a go to list Id also whip out for a quick match or anything until a couple of months ago. The list being a dual Firespray Scum Boba/Kath list I always tweak just a little but, whether it be Bobas crew member or Kaths EPT I seem to be pulling that out more frequently then anything else nowadays.

[Shadow345 640]

Falcon or Outrider

Bossk with other stuff

[CRCL 1,041]

52 Oicunn w/ EH, Gunner, Vader.

48 (4x) Academy.

 

Has won me many tournaments and still holds up in the current meta.

[Sixter 228]

Like the original poster I always come back to trying to make a list around Miranda. One of the best designed pilots in the game in my opinion because she´s fun, with a lot of upgrade/crew options but yet not overpowered.

[SEApocalypse 4,443]

Soontir Fel

Carnor Jax

Inquisitor 

Palpatine's Shuttle

 

 

 

Obviously I listed one extra ship, but basically that's what I always get back to. Pick 3 of those and I feel comfortable. 

[BCooper85 247]

I always come back to Super Dash, the other 42 pts changes regularly!

[Admiral Deathrain 5,232]

Anything with scum HWKs. I just love those guys, already own three of them.

My favorite two lists are:

 

Bossk w/escorts.  Usually a pair of glitter-crack Black Sun Aces, though with so many new toys for the Scum I'm looking at other options (maybe Mando fighters when they release).  Bossk is a beast and there's little I enjoy flying more than the YV-666.  List as a whole hits hard and doesn't have a lot of super-glaring weaknesses (unless Bossk finds himself alone against a highly maneuverable pilot with higher PS)

 

"Whisper", Turr Phennir, Valen Rudor.  This list really, really catches people off guard and most players are never sure how to really handle it.  It's got two pilots that can move during combat phase and all three are generally hard to pin down if flown decently.  With initiative, Turr Phennir and Whisper both became **** near impossible to kill, while Rudor plinks away with Juke, typically using his Evade token to avoid the only attack an opponent might get before he boosts or rolls away (or, at worst, I get a Focus to defend a second attack with).  It's a tad vulnerable to a necessity for smart flying and the odd loss of initiative, but my local meta doesn't have *too many* PS10+ pilots floating about.  It's a really fun list to fly, and from what I understand a really frustrating list to fly against.

If in doubt...get in a Firespray. That seems to be how I roll,especially Scum Boba.

[Aresxero 140]

It generally floats around 3 lists for me, one is scum hwks, the other is duel firespray bombers and the last is rage tycho lead a wing squadron

Definitely. There's something about watching a swarm turn around asteroids and then barrel roll into milimetre-perfect formation which is both impressive to watch and at the same moment leaves you realising how much trouble you're in.

 

I do like swarms, and I'm always amazed by how good the TIE fighter and TIE/fo aces are for their points. Even the less impressive ones have abilties you'd happily pay through the nose for on any heavier fighter.

[bottleface 25]

I've had great experiences with a Boba/Dengar build.  A lot of times with casual play I'll just try out builds I haven't done before.  However, I just bought most of the imperial and rebel ships off a friend who was leaving the game about a week ago so I'll be experimenting with those (I was a solely scum player previously). 

 

I also love to work Guri into lists when I can, though for a long time my main gaming was 80pts 1v1v1.  Guri/IG in that style of game was nutty.

Curious about your Imperial list. Does seem an interesting set of options. Are you going for the standard builds on all three (apart from Juke on Valen, that is)?

[Calibri Garamond 361]

3 sigma phantoms with intel agent and SPA

backstabber

 

Edit:

 

2x B Wing w/ Hull Upgrade and Accuracy Corrector

Miranda w/ TlT, Lando and Adv Slam...

 

That is basically 15 wasted Points imo. How about a ps 4 z-95 or a refit a wing instead?

 

But well. I guess you didn't ask for feedback.

[LagJanson 7,318]

Miranda and 3 Rookie T-65 pilots. Never meta. Never specifically countering meta. The joys of people looking over my shoulder as Fel gets cornered and smashed by the lowest of the low...

[Red42 166]

Carnor, Omega Leader, Kagi. I go back to it every so often, and it's still as strong as it ever was.

[SPE825 75]

Some form of Palp Aces pretty much. Omega Leader and Wampa are usually in there with someone else.
