I see so many list threads, I can't even attempt to try them all. So here's a question:

IF you could only EVER use ONE list with all current legal ships in all future tournaments and casual games, what list would you run? Also, list the reason why you'd run it.

I'll start:

Biggs + R2-D6 + Vet. Instincts

Luke + R2-D2 + Draw Their Fire

Corran + FCS + Marksmanship

Reason: Have only ever lost two matches out of about ~25 games with this list. Won a tournament today with it. It's easy, gives great synergy, packs a huge punch, and has very good defensive potential.

tl;dr Pick one list to use forever and give your reasons.

What a horrible thought. I almost never fly the same list twice. I can't even pick which faction I would fly forever. I suppose I would go with Chewie and two Reds, just because the Falcon and Xwings are my favorite ships from the films. Still, I am glad there is no such restriction in place.

I'm not bent out of shape, I just like the variety. Think of me saying it with a smile as I buy you another beer and we enjoy a game at the pub.

Fair enough. I had really good success with Chewie and two Reds. I gave Chewie expert handling because a barrel rolling crit ignoring falcon is a thing to behold. He had a gunner too, the only bad thing about Chewie in a falcon is you can't have Chewie as crew.

My squad of choice if I was never allowed to change again:

Wes Janson + Veteran Instincts (30)

Wedge Antilles + R2 Astromech + Opportunist (34)

Luke Skywalker + R2-D2 + Opportunist (36)

It's just to much fun,

If I could play x-wing at a pub i would never leave....lol.

Turr+Ptl+hull

BH + recon + seismic

Backstabber

Night Beast

Best ships the empire has to offer: ace interceptor, Beastly BH, and the 2 best ties in the game not named Howlrunner.

Luke w/ Swarm Tactics

Garven Dreis

Lando

Love that squad.

I would probably go with the named TIE swarm. Basically all the named TIEs. I love TIE swarms, but I don't think I have run one since Kessel Run and I won my Falcon. I am usually trying new things, new pilots, new builds. I am just itching to get out and play my wave 4 things.

I think the reason I started this thread is to get people to post awesome lists they've had success with and continue to use in tournaments and casual play.

That probably would have been a better question in the first place, then. I think I'd be bored to the point of not wanting to play the game anymore if I was forced to use only one list.

A better question might be, "what is the ship you can't keep out of your lists?"

It's gotta be one of 2 lists for me. Both built around the same core.

Wudge with PTL, Engine, r2 Astromech.

Buggs with r3-a2, Hull Upgrade

and then either

West Janson with r2 Astromech, Predator.

or

Tyson Celchu with Chaardan Refit, A-Wing Test Pilot, Push The Limit, Predator, Stealth Device.

I flew the Wudge/Buggs/Tyson list for forever, and it was fun, but Tyson just wasn't that good. I think the new upgrades will give him what he needs to become somewhat competitive. With that said, he is still incredibly fun to fly. West Janson is a beast too. The nice thing is that both of these ships come out to 33 pts, so they are interchangeable.

I change lists all the time so I don't have a consistent one. I'd wanna run something ridiculous and fun like:

31: Kyle w/ ICT, Jan, Crow

26: Garven

19: Cracken

23: Blount w/ assault missiles, deadeye

So many tokens flying around the board! Any ship could have a focus, evade, and TL each turn!

I especially like the Blount attack. With focus, TL, and Deadeye, he can save both tokens for a very effective shot+damage on everyone around. And with an evade token, he might even survive the return fire!

There is the ultimate man mode list.

Rexlar Brath, Assault Missiles, Stealth Device, Heavy Laser Cannon, Predator

Echo, Sensor Jammer, Predator, Recon Specialist, Advanced Cloaking Device

99 pts, 2 ships, 10 hp.

If I could fit Tycho, Wedge, Hobbie and Wes all in the same list, that'd be it.

Unfortunately they don't fit, so I'll go with Dutch + 3 Y-Wings and a bucket to catch my tears as they all die horribly.

I'm not bent out of shape, I just like the variety. Think of me saying it with a smile as I buy you another beer and we enjoy a game at the pub.

If I could play x-wing at a pub i would never leave....lol.

Would there be a reason to? Lol

Chewie + Vet instincts + Gunner

Dagger Squad + Fire Control System

Dagger Squad + Fire Control System

Can take alot of Damage and dish it out as well. I've had great success with it.

That...and...Wookiees rule!

Dark Curse and Academy TIE x7.

i think ive found THE list for me i mean i have over 20 different lists i playtested all of em with a succes of winning in thier test fights more than once made 3 test plays with any list so 3 times 20 = 60 games total all won but the list that made the most fun for me was the list i called Krassis and friends ( usually i dont name my lists )

Krassis Trelix with HLC, seismic charges and tactician ( for giving stress at range 2 )

Howlrunner stealth device and swarm tactic ( is most of the time the first tie that dies even with SD cause of bad rolling ;P)

Night Beast

Winged Gundark ( this guy outperformed in any of the games ive played him making 2 crits or even 3 crit hits most of the time )

played the list 5 times now and got a perfect win streak of 5 with it. i blew up with the seismic charges 1 x wing, 1 a wing and my own howlrunner so far ;P

Edit: gonna use it on the next Touarnement soon ^^

I gotta go with The Three Amigos in the following loadout:

Wedge Antilles (29) + R2 Astromech (1) + Push the Limit (3) + Flechette Torpedoes (2) [35]

Luke Skywalker (25) + R2-D2 (4) + Draw Their Fire (1) [33]
Biggs Darklighter (23) + R2-F2 (3) + Stealth Device (3) (I might try hull upgrade sometime if I ever get the Imperial Aces) [31]

Total: 99pts

This list's synergy is spectacular, with Biggs and Luke being defensive while Wedge delivers an awesome punch with his torps and natural skill. Plus, even if the other two X-wings aren't Wedge, they still hit hard because of the 3 attack dice, and Biggs more than makes up for the lack of defense dice in the other two. And of course Luke's sheer survivability makes my opponent have to choose which to eliminate after Biggs bites it.

Wedge, Opportunist, R2, Advanced torp

Jansen, Veteran Instincts

Dutch, ion turret, R5-K6

That probably would have been a better question in the first place, then. I think I'd be bored to the point of not wanting to play the game anymore if I was forced to use only one list.

I think you always have to have something smart to say and not contribute to the thread.

I'm sorry that you don't like my opinion, but that's no reason to be rude.

Give him a break. He lacks some tact, but I've seen him give plenty of useful advice.

I'm just stating facts; it's not my fault you don't participate in the thread other than to troll.

Ribann, you have been touchy about this thread since it went up. Waaaagh isn't trolling. Had you asked, "What is your favorite list?" Or "What ship do you find you always try yo use"? You would have had the thread you wanted. As is you still are getting a favorites thread, with some side band communication about how much we love the variety of this game.

TL;dr some of us disagree with you none of us are attacking you. Now have another pint it is time to set the dials.

It's your fault that you're needlessly derailing your own thread. My point was on topic; all you're doing is making personal attacks.
