Scratching that Itch

By WonderWAAAGH, in X-Wing

Try as I might, I often can't resist crafting lists with arbitrary impositions. It's not OCD, but I don't know what else to call it. I just like my lists to have a certain... symmetry. Sometimes it's having uniform craft across the board (XXXX), sometimes it's a balanced list (XXBB), but more often than not I like to focus on PS. There's a certain satisfaction in fielding a competitive list where all pilots share the same skill, or have strictly ascending/descending PS. With that in mind, allow me to share a couple of my recent creations:

PS 7-6-5

44 Lando Calrissian

23 Dutch Vander

5 Ion Cannon Turret

1 R2 Astromech

25 Hobbie Klivian

2 R3-A2

---

PS 5-4-3

42 Chewbacca

3 Push the Limit

2 Han Solo

1 Millennium Falcon

23 Red Squadron Pilot

4 R2-D2

23 Tarn Mison

2 R7 Astromech

I'm sure I'm not the only out there who does this, so feel free to share your lists as well.

Im working on a 007 list, using Enhanced Scopes.

Right now I'm thinking:

Ibi + Elusiveness + Scope

Corran Horn + Scope

Keyan + PTL

HDILTT - (How did I lose to that)

2 - OCP (21) ion can (3)

4 - AC (12)

I do this all the time.

The one I've been toying with now is start with PS1. Each new pilot must be one PS higher than the last one.

PS1-6

Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
Seismic Charges (2)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot (13)

Black Squadron Pilot (14)
Predator (3)

"Night Beast" (15)

Push the Limit (3)

Total: 100

Or:

Prototype Pilot (17)
Chardaan Refit (-2)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Green Squadron Pilot (19)

Oh yeah, that one really hits the spot. The formation would look beautiful, if completely and utterly impractical.

I haven't quite finished it yet, but I'm brainstorming up a 6-6-6 Imperial list.

35 Colonel Vessery

22 Royal Guard Pilot

3 Push the Limit

2 Targeting Computer

22 Royal Guard Pilot

3 Push the Limit

2 Targeting Computer

89/100

Two more modifications on the RGPs? An upgrade for The Colonel?

It would be interesting to gather only pilots with Ranks instead of Names.

Captains Yorr, Kagi, Jonus

Colonels Jendon, Vessery

Major Rhymer

Lieutenant Lorrir

There's some promise there :)

Colonel Jendon, Colonel Vessery, and... Kir-nel Kanos? They do all have PS6...
