Trying to decide ona build for this weekend's Tabletop day...

By cubby09, in X-Wing

I've played

Blue + FCS + Ion Cannon x 2

Gold + ICT x 2

And had some success. I do like running the Daggers more, maybe, as you'll get some shots off sooner. Just be careful in any ion squad because your damage is capped, so if you're playing timed, it may not work as well as you want.

All B's would be boring to me, but still effective.

If I am choosing from those three excusively, I like lists 1 or 2, with 2 having the edge. I like the additional firepower of the B-Wing and the dial more than the Y-Wing, plus, I prefer shields over hull, stupid Direct Hit. I do like the ions on the Ys in the first list though.

I do see the low agility and pilot skill as something you will need to watch out for.

I am actually in the same boat for Tabletop Day. I am set on three TIE Bombers and a Shuttle but can't decide on loadouts.

I might suggest switching one ship out for something that can dogfight. One you spend your munitions with the bombers, you're at a severe disadvantage.

I like four ship rebel builds. Advice on which one?

Lots of synergy. Possible 8+ actions/turn

Um, how does this give 8+ actions per turn? Did you mean Fire Control Systems?

1 and 3 are the same I think he linked the wrong list = P

If you want a decent alpha strike, Try 2 Green Squadrons with Concussion Missiles, Dutch and Garven are perfect for unleashing focus TL Ordnance.

Was thinking of the garvin, dutch/R5-K6/ion list with two blues myself, lots of 3d attacks with TL+F is nasty.

Of course then there is BBBAA, BBXAA or BBB ORS (or I guess BBX ORS). The game is pretty balanced, and lots of options, need to pick one :D .

sooo what about the dutch list vs. 3x BSP w/FCS and ORS?

Just play 4 shuttles :)

On a different note,

List 1

Blue (22) Ad sen (3)

Blue (22) Ad sen (3)

Rookie (21)

Rookie (21)

Very simple and very strong !

List 2

Something I think could be fun and super would be the following.

Outer Rim (27) Shield (4) Niem (1)

Blue (22) Hull (3)

Blue (22) Hull (3)

Gold (18)

The falcon is a decoy as you punish with the Bwings and you use the y-wing as a flanker to split the forces. Y on the left. YT center and B on the right.

I ran 2 Gold Squad Y-Wings (18) with Ion Turret (5), Biggs (25) and Wedge (29). It worked really well. Ion Turrets really ruin a B-wing's day.

I've been thinking about that, but I just don't know what to throw in. On rebel side, I am thinking of running Dutch + Ion Cannon Turret, Gold + Ion Cannon Turret, 2x Green + PTL. That leaves 5 points. I could drop Dutch for a Gold and distribute mods amongst three of the ships.
