Your Top Three Wave 1-3 Ship Types You by Faction.

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

If you only had three ship types for the faction(s) you play, what would they be?

Mine are Alliance: X-Wing, B-Wing, and Falcon. Empire: Tie Fighter, Tie Interceptor, and Firespray.

What are your "Must Haves?"

Rebel:

1) B-wing.

2) B-wing.

3) B-wing.

Imperial:

1) B-wing.

2) B-wing.

3) B-wing.

Lately I've been digging on Bomber, Lambda, Interceptor for the Imperials.

For the Rebels maybe X, B, HWK.

If you can't tell I've got a soft spot in my heart for ships that are deemed the weakest link.

Except the Advanced.

Burn it.

Probably going to look similar as with most people.

Scum

1. B-wing

2. Falcon

3. X-wing (Y-wing is close behind)

Imps

1. TIE Interceptor

2. TIE Fighter

3. Shuttle (Again, Firespray is very close and may edge ahead soon)

Rebel

- B-WIng

- Hwks

Imps

- Tie Fighter

- Tie Bomber

- Shuttle

Rebel

I'll just hit the Xerox copy button here.

Imperial: interceptor, Firespray, tie fighter

Rebel: X Wing, B wing, A Wing

I wasn't really sure on the last rebel one, but I say A wing even though I don't play it much just because it's the most maneuverable rebel ship.

Still don't beat that interceptor though

I think I fly Rebel too much as I dont fly Imperial ships with less than 6 HP haha

Rebel: X-Wing, B-Wing & YT-1300

Imperial: Shuttle, Firespray & Bomber

Imperial: TIE interceptor, TIE fighter, Firespray-31

Rebel: X-wing, Y-wing, HWK-290

Definitely a tough question to answer, and my opinion is very likely to change when I get my hands on the Wave 4 ships.

For my picks I'd have to say A-wing, B-wing and YT for the Rebels and TIE Bomber, TIE Interceptor and Firespray-31.

Rebs,

1 x-wing

2 y-wing

3 Falcon

imperials

1 Interceptor

2 Firespray

3 Bomber

When I first saw the title I thought you asked about Falcons. Picking three for the Rebs is easy, until Wave 4 these are my a Rebel go to ships. With the Imps it is grader the Lambda is close to my heart, but I am comming to really like the firespray. Same with bombers and the good ole ln. I love them both, but that twin hull just looks so dang cool...

Interceptors though.. I loved them before aces, now I have a hard time not flying them.

This is a tough choice. I have to balance between fun level, thematic ships, and what has the most replay-ability (X-wings have many more pilots than B-wings, for example).

Rebels: X-wing, A-wing, Y-wing.

Empire: TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber.

I think those 6 ships would offer a wide range of options to both factions, plus they are all pretty good. The loss of B-wings hits the Rebels pretty hard, but the X-wing is a fine substitute.

Nice replies. I am happy to see that we love X-Wings and Tie Interceptors. They are the best looking ships in the entire game IMO.

:lol:

Y-Wing

Imps:

Whatever just not the Advanced!

I mean i like supposedly weaker ships like Y-Wings and make them shine. I like Gold Ionwings and Dutch a lot too. But the Advanced i really don't see any use for them, except Vader and then only if i really am in the mood... But no i will still take some more Fighters for the points!

Pre Wave 4?

Rebels:

1) X-Wing

2) B-Wing

3) YT-1300

Imperial:

1) Firespray-31

2) TIE Fighter

3) TIE Interceptor

I really love the HWK, but I think it falls short of this list because ORS is a thing.

Rebel: YT-1300, B-Wing, X-Wing

Imperial: Firespray-31, TIE Interceptor, TIE Bomber

Being weird with my response...

B wing

Y wing

A wing

The only thing the X does better than the B is the named pilots. Otherwise I'd take the BR and the 8 health every day. The Y is too great of a resource for it to be sitting on as many people's shelves as it currently is... ICT, R3A2, and 8 health... need I say more? And then the A is the best closer in the game imo. While some would argue that the /in is better, I say the 2 shields and the extra health give a strong advantage to the A wing. F+E, and with Boost action, means that there'll only be R1 shots if you want them, so with a 3 dice max, and an evade token, the expected dmg is .3, and it can't exceed 2, so no chance of a 1 shot.

:D

Imperial:

1. Shuttle

2. Tie Fighter

3. Tie Interceptor

Rebel:

1. B Wing

2. YT-1300

3. Y Wing

If the B Wing isn't in your Rebels list you're simply not understanding the game.

My rude post for the month :-)

Rebels:

1. X-Wing

2. B-Wing

3. A-Wing (will move up a rank or 2 once Rebel Aces come out)

Imperials:

1. 181th Tie Interceptor

2.Royal Guard Tie Interceptor

3. Tie Interceptor

4. Tie Fighter

5. Tie Bomber

I would say,

Imp

Fighter

Bomber

Interceptor

Rebels

Xwing

Ywing

Falc

I can't choose! All of my friends deserve to go, but I only have 2 tickets!

hehe Not rude, it's a pretty solid statement. The current World Champion got his title using a 2x B-Wing, 2x X-Wing list and, surely enough, at our small (10 players) Assault at Imdaar Alpha tournament, the top 2 players were also using BBXX lists...
