Two transport now what do I do?

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

I have two transports (first is from an extra job sec is a gift)

I now have no idea what to do other then run a 600 point game.

Buy a 3rd and run mission 8?

There is only really one thing to do turn. Turn them on their sides and pretend it's the Death Star and crash Porkins into the side of the thing.

You can do two at once in a epic game. Would hinder your offensive output, but would really upgrade your fighters from all the bonuses coming from the two of them.

that is crazy talk having three transports next your going to tell me having 7 xwings is too little.

Well, you are 5 short of a full squadron... What are you going to do - supplement your squadron with TIE/in and TIE/ln like Wraith Squadron does? Posh... I fly like a Rogue not a Wraith! 12 X wings or nothing!

A naked transport is 30 points and 2 epic points, meaning you can have 2 and still have 240 points for other ships. Essentially learn how to fly them well and wreck into enemy ships with them.

Can I use 5 for the time being? ;-p

Use one naked for bowling into swarms, and use the other to buff the rest of your Rebel fleet.

Well I have an unhealthy obsession to relive the on screen life of Porkins so I know what to do.

Play chicken with them.

Play a Rebel vs Rebel match where each side gets one transport lined up directly across from the other, facing each other. First one to turn loses. :D

Or I am going to say that the imp took one over and have a 300 vs 300 point match.

You can still use them as terrain if you want something different from the same 6 asteroids that these X-Wing matches mysteriously find themselves happening nearby :P

You could give me one?

And me the other?

Like that's going to happen but there's no harm in trying

You could cut one of them up as debris floating into space, all with traces of the cargo strewn around space on separate bases...

I love you guys (min market 50 with shipping) do like I had to do, have someone pay you to dog sit for a week you should have enough to pay for them. PS I need a yard mowed and with a baby on the way it's been a beast to get yard work done, if you lived in my community I would give you a transport for cleaning leaves and mowing off 1/3 acre

We're not even in the same country. But thanks for the offer.

Actually what I really want is the Tantive IV so if anyone wants to offer some work for one..... :D

More importantly, you have two Porkins'

My wife and I have about 100 as a budget for Christmas I know what I have to wait 6 months for :-0

We're getting ready to run a 1000 point per side campaign with 3 Transports, 2 CR90s And a CR90 Carrier (Far Star).

How CRAZY is that?

AWESOME! :D

we have talked of running 2, one to deal stress and the other to slice them up, and both to act as shields. We ahve not run it yet, but sounds good on paper

...omg

Why did I not think of this.

It's like an Assault Missile on crack.

I've been thinking about a "Fireship" title card for the transport. You'd only take 1 damage die from collisions with large ships, and from small ships, you'd disregard hits and crits would only deal a face-down damage card if you lacked shields.

I may not quite have the wording right on that one. Basically, the "Fireship" lets you take a lot more punishment from collisions. Which is actually kind of canonical. I know the Rebellion used GR-75s as Fireships in a few battles, and I think one of those battles was Endor.

If the upgrade costs 15 squad points, and you can take out 2 Academy Pilots and Howlrunner, you've basically paid for the entire ship.
