Rebel TIE - Sabine, Intensity, Title, Black Market Slicer Tools
B-Wing - Nera Dantels, Deadeye, two Flechette Torpedos and Guidance Chips

VCX - Lothal Rebel, just a Tactical Jammer
Rebel TIE - Captain Rex

Y-Wing - Dutch, Synced Turret, BTL, R7-T1, Bomb Loadout and Ion Bombs
A-Wing - Green Squadron, Chardaan Refit, Veteran Instincts

That's all I got, I only know rebels and 50 points is kinda boring for them since that's pretty much either two naked generics or one alright ship and a cheap ass TIE, A-wing or Z-95.

Yeah. If it was "Silliest 100pt lists" then I'd toss in my triple-T70 list that I came fourth in Store Tournement with.
I'd have placed higher if I hadn't faced the guy who placed 3rd at the Yavin Open the fortnight prior second.

I don't know why he keeps coming to this one pokey fenland store in the middle of East Anglia either.

So, I'm looking to add something to this:

Unnamed Squadron (66)
Poe Dameron (PS9) — T-70 X-Wing 33
Push the Limit 3
BB-8 2
Primed Thrusters 1
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 39

Jess Pava — T-70 X-Wing 25
R2-D6 1
Crack Shot 1
Integrated Astromech 0
Ship Total: 27

geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel Alliance&d=v4!s!196:18,-1,148,203:-1:20:;199:-1,70,-1:-1:20:U.140&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

It's basically my triple-T70 list mentioned in sans Ello Asty who didn't really work out. I'm looking for something to fill the gap. Doesn't have to be a T-70. I've been looking to get Nym when he comes out in a fortnight, but he doesn't really fit too well unless I don't want to give him a turret, and go Bomblet + Genius + Crack Shot or something.
Any 34pt ideas?

love your work

Do people still play the Luke/Biggs/Wedge 3 Amigo's list?

I do, but I'm shit and a filthy casual who doesn't keep up with the meta.

Does anyone here have the description files for oggdude's chargen?

I kinda wish they'd redo Luke, like how they did for Poe and Han and Chewie as well I guess. Keep him at PS8 just give him a new ability, becuase his current one is hella underwhelming.

Every so often. I play it against newbies or annoying people and slap them around.

So I've just started playing X-wing - are there any dumb newbie mistakes I should learn to avoid ahead of time?

Raith's going to show up in one of my games. How should I characterise him? I kinda want to embrace the idea that he's a drug fuelled corporate liability, but the Empire and the wider corporation keep that under wraps.

Do you guys prefer torpedo, missile or cannon Scyk?

You remember Tom Cruise from Tropic Thunder?

-Don't fly punishers.
-Just because you can take an upgrade doesn't mean you should.
-Accept that you suck and focus on getting better.
-Dice are fickle, get as many ways to modify them (focus, rerolls, etc) as possible
-It's never your dice, you fucked up
-Yell NATTIES before important rolls
-X-Wing is a fun game, enjoy yourself

That's potentially a really solid idea.

I'd have to tone it down a bit (game is fairly serious), but the general idea works, especially if he's hopped up on all kinds of spice and has an inflated ego.

>just because you can upgrade doesnt mean you should
I think this is a trap I'd fall into for sure.
Thanks for all the advice man.

He's on lesai. All the time. Literally hasn't slept in months, if not years. The high collar is so no one can see the bright purple stains all over his neck.

Working on a list for an upcoming tournament, don't have a lot of experience with sort of list. Input?

391/400
General Dodonna
Precision Strike, Fighter Ambush*, Superior Positions

Nebulon-B Escort Frigate
- Yavaris, Flight Commander, Fighter Coordination Team

GR-75 Medium Transports
- Bright Hope, Adar Tallon, Boosted Coms, Bomber Command Center

GR-75 Medium Transports
- Quantum Storm, Expanded Hanger Bay, Slicer Tools

Assault Frigate Mk2 B flagship]
- Gallant Haven, Support Officer, Gunnery Team, Enhanced Armament

Shara Bey, Jan Ors, Biggs Darklighter, Luke Skywalker, Gold Squadron, YT-1300, Scurrg H-6 Bomber, X-Wing

Battle plan is to bid for second (except maybe against other bomber lists), run a tight, defensive formation, and then bomb things, with everyone except Luke/Gold/Scurrg perfectly happy to throw dice at enemy squadrons instead. Slicer Tools is to screw with enemy carriers primarily.

* Leaning towards replacing this with Contested Outpost - the point generation potential is massive, but the deployment disadvantage hurts.

I only own two GR-75s, so I can't rip something out to make room for another cheap activation unless it goes all the way to a TRC90 or something.

What's a good imperial counter in X-wing to rebel Bomb+Something?

Either Dash+Miranda or miranda+Corran, or Miranda+Biggs+Stresshog, etc.

Beef. Defenders, SFs, Decis, enough hp to tank the bomb and damage to return the favor.

Are Massed TIEs an option for beef? Or do dash and biggs give them too much of a problem to effectively deal with miranda?

Dash and Miranda just abuse ties by running circles around them. If you can focus fire you'll drag them down, but it's really hard to keep them in multiple arcs.

Thoughts on 3x TIE/SF Omegas with Snap Shot, FCS, a 2 point Tech, and LWF?

99 points, 18 hp to chew through, decent dice mods and anti-ace tech.

...

Hey /swg/, one of my players is playing a slowly degrading clone trooper in EoTE, and I'm trying to think of some interesting curveballs to throw him, since he isn't very interested in the Mandalorian culture or even that side of the equation.

In fact, I'm not sure what he's interested in about this character, because he doesn't seem too interested in looking into clones, like watching the Clone Wars television show for their episodes.

Decent, might have trouble with protectorates since Concord Dawn > Snap Shot. Sounds fun, though.

I imagine him as similar to !MarkZuckerberg from Ex Machina.

If I cut one of them out for something else, I'd be able to put in an ace that costs 34 or less- 36 if I run Primed Thrusters as the tech. Is there any single ship for empire that works well against Fenn and Teroch?

Ryad?

Fenn hates things that bypass his defenses, so bombs/autoblaster/vader or omega leader. Her and the 2 SF named pilots is a pretty tasty squad.

I know Inquisitor's ability messes with Fenn, is 2 Snap Shot dudes and Inquisitor a good idea?

Or is Inky's PS 8 a death sentence?

Doom Shuttle with Opspec maybe?

Inquisitor is fine, might have a hard time keeping fenn from closing, but if you position the SFs well he can be protected. He's very vulnerable to bombs, so keep him safe.

Is Targeting Computer Soontir even more vulnerable to bombs due to his 1 less HP?

When Kestal comes out, would Expertise Kestal be a better option?

Gosh, thank you! I'm working on another chapter for tonight or tomorrow, but after that I'm going to a local con so I won't be updating for a week or so.

Yes and maybe, equivalent but not necessarily better.

The first thing that comes to mind is some residual Orders still rattling around in the characters head, maybe a manchurian candidate order. The troper hears something in passing, blacks out and wakes up standing over a body in an alley somewhere/starts plotting a hyperspace jump somewhere off the beaten path. Good old PTSD is another good one to throw at them, as they deteriorate the flashbacks get worse etc.

I just realized something that could potentially work there- a Palp Shuttle.

If the Palp+LWF interaction lets you effectively use him like old palp, and/or you can palp up crits on the snap shot.

Is that a good idea? I could run Yorr or kagi or something.

Or is palp relegated to protecting aces?

You sure you want slicer tools? Bomber command centers stack and really up damage on bomber dice. Also, if you can bring 2 VCXs you really want to. Lets yavaris doubletap squads from the other side of the map.

Scyk with a heavy laser cannon and stealth device

Just fuck around at range three blasting motherfuckers

Since it's a new thread, I will continue my hunt for a person who has the missing Gear pages from Disciples of Harmony.

I offer a Mara Jade as a humble payment.

I find HLC scyks too expensive- Manglers tend to be more cost effective- you don't lose over a quarter of your list each time you take 4 damage.

...

I'm looking to play a scummy guy who uses ranged (heavy) and has like thief skills and such. More skullduggery and deception than stealth type skills. He doesn't need to be great at combat but it would be nice if its a class with some kind of defensive ability like side step or dodge.

Every setting, EVERY one has that one designated all female village/kingdom/planet what is/was Star War's?

There isn't one for Star Wars.

Dathomir maybe

Still has plenty of men in canon, though they live mostly separate from the Nightsisters, at least.

Hapes?

Isn't Hapes where Prince Space-Fabian comes from?

Right, so there'd be all-female villages

Yeah, Hapes has men.

Well, we don't know that for sure beyond the one single one for the Nightsisters under Talzin. The rest of Dathomir could very well be fully integrated.

>I offer a Mara Jade as a humble payment.

In terms of quality of writing you'd be better off offering your own fecal waste as payment.

I imagine Raith as literally Steve Ballmer with Microsoft enthusiasm replaced by starships.

The Kessel Run is pretty good.

The Carolina Krayts just put out a decent episode.

I heard that episode-you were on it

Guesses as to what the super sekrit imperial list will be?

My guess is Kagi, and 2/3 of Vessery, Backdraft, and Quickdraw.

> Are any of them good?

Mynock, Kessel Run, Shuttle Tydirium if you like more casual shit.

Dash

Dunno. I'm guessing Kylo is involved, but not even the illuminati are privy to it.

Shame, I have my only local store champs this weekend, and I know it's going to be full of cancer.

I guess it's time for the empire to do its best and try really hard for that kallus token.

As someone who was stomping shitters with pre-Imperial Veterans Punisher/Bomber lists and dropped out for various life reasons roundabout U-boat release, I can tell you that present-day Imperials have a whole lot of untapped potential. Basically the game blew up to 40k proportions at the same time as Whisper/Decimator lists were the norm. As a result most Imperial pilots are lazy, complacent shitters who never had to do anything to win games. The guys who just play S-tier Meta whatever it happens to be at the time are often not really attached to a given faction.

So the result is a lot of forum whining instead of a lot of practice & innovation.

Hey all, I want to make an Imperial list, but I don't really play seriously. Thoughts on this list?

Upsilon - Lt Dormitz w/ Anti-Pursuit lasers, Fire Control System, Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Kylo Ren's Shuttle

Decimator - Captain Oicunn w/ Anti-Pursuit Lasers, Expose, Intelligence Agent, BoShek, Dauntless, Mara Jade

Trying to build a dumb ramming speed list. Thanks!

I really like my imperial list.

Whisper w/ VI, FCS, ACD, captive
Quickdraw w/ expertise, FCS, frame, title, sensor cluster
Scimitar w/ vader

Plays against the meta really well. Whisper is unforgiving as fuck, though.

I might try Captive Whisper and either 2 deltas or 2 PS 6 Omega Specialists with FCS, LWF, and title.

How important is a bid on whisper nowadays?

It looks like it's 1, 4+, or nothing.

It's literally one guy.
Mara isn't even a sue, she gets her ass handed to her in the a lot of literature she stars in.

I thought the subplot of her desperately fighting to free herself from the influence of the Emperor's last orders was pretty good.

She's great in Forces of One too. Anything not written by Zahn I can't speak for though.

>It's literally one guy.
And you're probably responding to him

DESU I think the only real problem with Mara Jade is that the writing shows it's age. The character is fine but the depiction comes across like the kind of things angsty teenagers would write about their own characters because Heir to the Empire came out in 1991 and that's where the aforementioned angsty teenagers are influenced from. Going back and reading it today is groan worthy, but when you keep in mind it's publishing date it was very modern for the time.

I've seen a lot of people talk about how much they really don't like Mara.

Even if she loses some fights she's still in my opinion very much a Mary Sue and I think she's not only one the weakest Star Wars characters there is but the weakest thing Zahn conceived, and she was made worse when feminists hijacked her.

I will say however I don't think she's the worst character ever or is some travesty, just a subpar characters that people either elevate into literary godhood as the best thing ever or call her the worst Star Wars character ever and one that semi-ruined the EU.

Overrated by both sides imo, she's just a bad character and nothing more or less.

>the weakest thing Zahn conceived
>Not Luuke, Luuuuuke, Lᶙke, ǝʞn˥, and Lüke

I don't think that's a problem exclusively with Mara, but I feel that the Thrawn Trilogy aged far better/shows far less of its publishing period than the New Jedi Order does. That series was like the worst bits of late 90s/early 00s edginess distilled into book form.

The Luke clones were shit but I think he said he intended them as parodies. Mara "Don't Need No Man" Sue who graduated top of her class at assassin high school and was the best strongest most elite fighter in the whole universe was 100% serious.

On an totally unrelated topic, who was the highest ranking imperial officer to defect to the NR (In legends, of course)?

>too picky and faggoty to join roll20 games that don't meet my standards
>too much of an empirefag to join good roll20 rebel campaigns like this one
>too lazy and picky to look anywhere beyond roll 20 for a game

>love the system but i keep myself from playing it

Feels bad man.

>the New Jedi Order
The cringe was pretty bad, really a very poor era of writing that had some huge potential to do great things but managed to piss it up the wall

Probably Octavian Grant, but he sort of 'surrendered' rather than play an active part in the New Rep

>Don't need no man
>strongest
You're exaggerating. She was neither, not even in the Thrawn Trilogy. She depended on Karrde for employment and survival early on and most of the time she got into trouble in TTT, she needed Luke's help. She didn't even rate that high on the power level scale during the time period of the Thrawn Trilogy. Post-RotJ Luke, Vader, Palps, and C'baoth could have all defeated her in a duel. Her piloting skills were laughably bad and on the ground, she doesn't win a whole lot of fights on her own. Yes, she may have had that super special snowflake training and she may start out as a grim, edgy loner, but the Trilogy's events show that her bullshit doesn't work nearly as well as the power of friendship. What did all her training and lone wolf shit get her? A miserable, lonely life of petty crime.

if you use "cringe" as a noun you pretty much lose all credibility as a critic

she wasn't even the specialest snowflake or the edgiest loner. there were other Hand's, there were inquisitors, hidden and/or ancient sith, there's fucking Starkiller, Mara is tame as shit in comparison

I was just thinking, but for those who'd know, has mara jade hate become a meme in the various miserable boards have migrated to molest Veeky Forums in the past year and change? Or is it just a single faggot with a reverse waifu grudge who is to be mocked severely?
