I don't know if I think that it is the worst ship, but my least played ship is the HWK. I never really play around with it. I've flown it once and it performed well enough, but to properly outfit one as a strong support ship it ends up costing too much IMO. I think the problem with it is that it's too weak to be fielded naked, and it is too expensive with "sufficient" upgrades. Even a simple Jan with Ion turret costs 30 points, and generally I'd want a dedicated support ship to be 25 or less. I bet I'll probably use it a little more in epic play, where I have more points to work with.

So what is your "Least Played" ship, and why?

My least played ship, strangely is the Tie Fighter and I fly Imps more than Rebels. I guess it is because I like lists with small numbers of "elite" ships. Could also be I find flying a swarm boring.

Falcon. I play imperials and also usually don't play large ships when I play casual matches.

TIE Advanced, and i play a lot of Imperials.

Why is simple. For the points, i would rather just have more TIE Fighters, or a Bomber.

Falcon - the only ship I dislike.

For Imps, my least used ship is the TIE Advanced.

For Rebs, my least used ship is either the YT-1300 or the A-wing (which is strange since I have 5, 2 FFG and 3 proxies).

Oddly, I really like all of the above, they just do not get used as much as my other ships.

The Tie Advanced for Imps and the HWK-290 for Rebels.

I only fly Imperials, and the TIE Advanced is my least used ship. Or the Lambda shuttle (but I like Vader and I actually like the Lambda for the most part, it's just usually best left in support rolls for +100 point matches).

The Hwk just seems to be a waste over all I get the combo for the super Pilot Skill but I have never played a game where that matters.

Roark Garnet- At the start of the Combat phase, choose 1 other friendly ship at Range 1-3. Until the end of the phase, treat that ship's pilot skill value as '12.'

It just does not seem to make any sense to waste 19 points and have to use two ships to make one shoot first. Plus if your going to spend any points on upgrading it then you could run a b-wing instead, or next month Z-95 with ion pulse and a shield upgrade.

On the imp side the Tie Adv has not seen any games played. I would like to fly it but I feel like it is a bit over priced and with the Phantom coming out its hard to argue why I would fly one, if I were to match the points of a phantom I don't think 3 points would make it a better ship. I would also fly a Defender over Darth Vader.

I fly rebels almost exclusively... From the rebel side, I would say YT-1300. I've flown it about half a dozen times since W2 hit, and every time, I lose miserably. I just can't fly it well for some reason. And I keep trying it out again thinking that I can do better, but I rarely do.

Overall, the TIE/sa. I've only flown the /x1 a few times (when I started playing the game I'd play against my girlfriend, and she wanted to be the good guys, so I was always imps, and I didn't have many options on how to get to 100pts, so Vader and the Storm made it into my lists quite a bit). I own 3 bombers, but I've never played with any of them. They just don't interest me very much. I've played against them plenty, so I know what they're "capable" of, I'm just not impressed. The reason ordnance is even half way decent on them is because their 2 attack kinda sucks, so it's a big boost for them to have 4 dice... I'd rather have a FS, Whale, Interceptor, or swarmlette.

That said, I haven't tried the 5 w/ seismics, or the 5 w/ hr swarm, or the 6 swarm... Those actually interest me.

For the Rebels, it's easily the YT-1300. It's boring to me.

For the Imperials, who I don't use a lot, tends to be either the Firespray but that's changing lately. I'll used Vader in the TIE/Ad, but he's about the only one I'd use it with currently.

My favourite ships are the HWK, for it is always grossly underestimated and ignored, and generally causes havok with an Ion or Blaster turret, and the named TIE/Ints as I love their movement options when they're appropriately buffed.

HWK (least played)

A-Wing

B-Wing

Bomber

Falcon

In order.

I don't ever pull out my YT-1300, except to have a new player fly it. Feels like playing with training wheels.

I also rarely choose an A-wing. Every time I fly one, I wish it was an interceptor. Hopefully that will change with rebel aces.

Least played for me both overall and for the Imperials is, of course, the TIE Advanced. On the Rebel side I tend to rotate through pretty frequently, but the A-wing tends to see the least table time.

A-Wings. That will probably change once the Rebel Aces are released. I'm also unsure how often I will use the E-Wing given the point cost.

1. TIE Advanced - Only use for Vader, of course

2. HWK - Once I play more epic it will see more play, but for now I only use him as a Kyle Blaster Turret Focus Factory.

3.TIE Bomber - I still feel like he's not an efficient missile platform. I just wish there were a PS5-6 generic bomber so Target Locks are easier to get.

4. A-wing - I hold them in high regard, but haven't been able to fit them into my current builds. This is especially so because I have issues with not having those extra two points from Chardaan Refit now.

I haven't had a chance to play with my Lambda Shuttle yet, but I only have a few games under my belt so far .

Interesting to me that there's so much dislike here for the HWK; Roark and Jan have both been fantastic additions every time I've run them.

TIE Advanced, without a close second.

I like the HWK, but to be honest, usually in formats above 100 pts only. It's really hard to put a semi-costly support ship in most 100 pt lists for me.

If the B-wing is one of your least-flown ships, something's wrong.

Mine's easily the HWK.

Why is that wrong? Is there a requirement of how often you have to fly things in this game? I too rarely fly the B-wing. Just peoples personal preference. Nothing wrong with that.

My least played though is probably the A-wing. I like it, and I'll like it even more when Rebel Aces comes out, I just prefer the other ships. On the Imperial side it's hands down the Advanced. I like to throw Vader in the mix every now and then but over all it's left sitting on the sidelines.

If your only playing one side I can see that. I played my first game as the rebels last weekend so my list would be everything for the rebels. My wife plays those her list would be everything imp.

I've only flown the YT-1300, HWK-290 and Y-Wing once each.

I've only flown the Firespray and the A-Wing twice each.

But I've flown X-Wings, B-Wings and TIE Fighters tons of times. I've flown the TIE Advanced, Lambda Shuttle, TIE Bomber and TIE Interceptor quite a bit, too, but not as much as those first three.

TIEadvanced for the Imperials, although I'm mainly an Imperial player. After that would be the TIEbomber I suppose.

If Rebels, the Falcon actually. In fact, every time I use it in a casual game I ask my opponent for permission first. If not that, it's actually the Bwing. That ship is IMHO quite bad and highly flawed in many areas. It performs extremely well in the specific areas that it is good at, but it sucks extremely badly in areas that it is weak in, making it very easy for my opponent to exploit. Also, it is rather boring to fly
