Two Tubes + Jake

[Cow-of-Doom 95]

Hey guys!

I was messing around with the Renegades stuff and figured out this thing:

Benthic Two Tubes (24)

Advanced Sensors (3)

Recon Specialist (3)

Magva Yarro (2)

Renegade Refit (-2)

Total: 30

 

Jake Farrell (24)

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Push the Limit (3)

Juke/Snapshot (2)

Auto thrusters (2)

Charrdan Refit (-2) 

Total: 29

This leaves you with around 40 ish points to mess around with for a third ship or other mods and stuff  (an x wing maybe?) 

Pretty much, Benthic, since you can pretty much get FCS as crew, can focus, pass one to Jake, ensuring he can reposition before most other enemy ships move, and end up with full mods. That means that Jake ends up with full firepower, and Benthic (hopefully) ends up with a Focus Lock. 

Maybe not the most competitive, but I'm always looking for more ways to make Jake the most Jankiest pilot around. As such, paring him with a decently useful, pre-movement version of Kyle Katarn means SUPER JANK. 

You could also just take Debris Gambit for the ultimate amount of un-killable Jake. 

Best,
Cow

Magva is not FCS, not even close. Being controlled by your opponent rather than yourself is a massive detriment

Best case for her would be on a ship your opponent is compelled to shoot at, like maybe DTF Lowhrick 

Then you could put ACTUAL fcs on two tubes, and also Jan oars because Jan oars is good synergy with that ability

Then you run around tossing focus at low

Maybe on a Sensor Jammer Ghost, Magva with a synced turret would be good. But Still. Maul/Ezra is too good of a combo.

VI Garven Dreis.

Might give Jake too many options.... something like get a focus from Tubes, roll, move take evade or TL. combat phase, Jake fires prockets, Garven fires, then gives focus to Jake, Jake boosts out of arc, has focus for defense. 

could work... but GARVEN IS A FREAKING 8 with VI. so Jake needs to be an 8 as well... which kinda sucks. 

 

 

Garven Dreis, what could have been a great pilot... should have been a great pilot... reduced to a smoldering crater.

RIP Garven. Along with Blue Ace (Would be SO GOOD as a filler with FAA)

And yes FCS is the damage output of the gods, and normally I wouldn't swap it for anything else. I was just thinking about how that frees you up for other system upgrades. It isn't preferable to have the crew instead necessarily, just put it on as a supplement for the Jank without necessarily dropping all of the offensive firepower (and having a small deterrent). 

In the vein of Garven and maximum jank... what if it was Benthic, Jake AND Kyle Katarn? Absolute trash for offensive output, but would be so worth it to ensure that Jake pretty much never gets hit inside arc with movement before and after the movement phase. 

Best,

Cow

I like Benthic with Rey/RecSpec so he has focus for both offense and defense. FCS itself is just a nice little well-rounded chap to support anyone. Jake is always fun - he just suffers from having brought a cork gun to a mob fight.
