No Faction Restrictions: What's the worst that could happen?

[matt.sucharski 1,055]

My FLGS is having a night during which there will be no faction restrictions. What are some of the worst things that could happen?

Dengar/Miranda?

Ruthlessness TLTs?

Deadeye Harpoon Scurrgs w/ Captain Jonas?

Crazy Empire or Scum thing + Biggs?

Palpatine in an Auzituck?

 

It's hard to even think about.

[matt.sucharski 1,055]

Omega Ace + Swarm Leader + Sabine's Masterpiece + Finn

And friends to give him focus and/or TL?

[Jyico 897]

Biggs for an imperial swarm with Howlrunner, probably.  Luke Skywalker in Whisper's passenger seat?  Atanni mindlinked Awing snapshot/intensity swarms!

[Kreen 434]

The IG-2000 title on the TIE Aggressor.

[Jyico 897]

For reference, around here we run 59 point cross factioning with a minimum 2 ships from different factions (all faction restrictions removed).  59 points = 4 ships or less (if you want 5+, just play a regular game).  We also double the number of obstacles for funsies.  Nobody has really broken the format, but some strong contenders come up.  I think the strongest list I've seen so far was a autoblaster ghost with Palp and Wampa.  Its just a ridiculous amount of hull to chew through with 2 or 3 ships.  Eaden Vrill with Rebel Captive was another clever thing I've seen, and the captured TIE title on any regular the fighter is good for the points.  Most of the time we see Omega Leader in standard configuration and an ace though.  My personal favorite has been fearlessness ATC vader though.  That guy just hits like a truck.  EVERY TURN!

[UnarmedCrayon 23]

Dengar protected by lorick and biggs? With rebel captive on dengae just for extra faction crossing and even stronger endgame

[Kyle Ren 6,817]

As per the Youngster ruling, Sabine’s Masterpiece works on TIE/FO’s, so you can do Omega Leader + Juke + Comms Relay + Stealth Device + Sabine’s Masterpiece + Weapons Engineer + Scavenger Crane.

Yep. Totally fair and not broken at all. 

Also, Bossk with Kylo Ren + Experimental Interface + Ezra Bridger + Kanan Jarrus.

Still totally fair and balanced.

[matt.sucharski 1,055]

Are there any ships with two crew that would like to have both Cad Bane & Sabine?  Or if I were going this route, would I be better off with 1 of them on each of two different bombers? Hypothetically.... asking for a friend.

[DeathToJarJar 132]

Kylo Ren and Ten Nunb.

[AngryAlbatross 786]

Bomblet YT-2400 Han Solo with Sabine and Cad Bane?

[Wiredin 3,459]

A-Wings with prockets/mindlink/fearlessness sounds pretty bloody scary.

Dash w/Dengar crew, HLC, Outrider, Ruthlessness

Bossk w/HLC, Palp

Dengar w/Kanan

Miranda/Nym with Sabine/Cad Bane

 

[thespaceinvader 17,568]

Decimator with Rage, Recruit, Finn and Kanan.  Yeah.

[IG88E 1,688]

Rebel Nym with bomblet, AS and "Genius".

 

Wait...

[matt.sucharski 1,055]

Probably still near the top of power even with faction restrictions removed.

 

My brain is having trouble trying to come up with things to put together because all my cards are stored in different mental files. I may have to open my actual binder to look with my mk.I. eyeballs.

With Crew Boba Fett in the B-Wing's jump seat...

Might also work well on a YV-666, for the 180 degree Finn.

How about Dengar with Lone Wolf, Overclocked R4, and Kyle Katarn?  Unlimited focus if you pull a Green, no matter how many stress.

[thespaceinvader 17,568]

Vader with Fearlessness and ATC.

Decimator with Hux, Jan crew, Kanan.

[Reiver 2,238]

Omega leader, juke, comms relay, sabines masterpiece, glitterstim, weapons engineer, Raycast shields.

Two Target locks, and a super-focus-PTLalike for the first turn off the engagement, and legit actual Regen in case he's ever left wanting a 1straight.

Jumpmasters with Darth Vader: you can't arcdodge, you can't stop it, and it has 9hp for 28pts. Ouch.

Bossk with bistan, kylo Ren, and boba Fett: yo dawg, I heard you like crits... (The ten numb version is legit, too)

So much joy to be had.

In terms if math power, you could take Fair Ship Rebels and replace Jess Pava with Serissu + Bodyguard + Ion Cannon + Heavy Scyk. Biggs goes up to AGI 3 with an extra defensive reroll against every attack. I can't imagine any list that could kill biggs in a 75 minute round...

Otherwise, an A-wing swarm with Attanni Mindlink and Juke could be fairly brutal.

Oh, and if you took Thweek + Biggs together in a list, and came across an opposing Biggs, neither Thween nor your biggs can be shot if they stay at range 1 or each other. So instant game win?

I just want to mention that u can't use bodyguard to increase agility of friendly ships with lower PS than yours.

But u can still equip it to another ship with ps 4 or lower?

Good Point. Bodyguard has to be used on a ship with higher PS than the ship it's equipped on (which I have to remember...), so you could instead use Inaldra and Sunny for the same price, thus satisfying the wording I glossed over before.

I'll be in my bunk.

[thespaceinvader 17,568]

K4 on RAC is also pretty solid.  RAC/K4/HotShot/Gunner.

Arc Caster TIE/Ds with Ruthlessness.

[admat 486]

Quickdraw and Dengar with a low-PS blocker TIE Fighter or Z-95 Headhunter.

 

Quickdraw (Expertise, Fire-Control System, Special Ops Training, Lightweight Frame) - 37 points

Dengar (Predator, Recon Specialist, Punishing One) - 51 points

Academy/Bandit/Binayre - 12 points

[thespaceinvader 17,568]

x7s with Mindlink.

Yeah, initially I was going to say just bring a TIE Shuttle with these two...  But you can't get extra munitions.

But at the end of the day, I think it'd be the Heff Tobber U-Wing with Cad Bane, Sabine Wren, Extra Munitions, Bomblet Generator, Ion Projector, Collision Detector along with a little something on the side, like a TIE Striker for theme.  You could even go the Minefield Mapper route and deck it out with Cluster Mines for a really tough obstacle course.
