Played my first epic game and my first wave 4 game

By Popn618, in X-Wing

And the epic game was...epic. 300 point sides, I can post lists if anyone is interested. I'll try and get some pictures up later.

Some thoughts.

I love the transport. Slicer tools was awesome and kept ptl anything away from it. Also jamming anything is awesome. That's a true phantom killer.

Corran horn can really die some punishment and take some damage. Didn't use his ability until it was it was a surprise at the end of a round he was still alive but then he still managed to finish off another tie bomber before he left.

The phantom is going to be awesome in regular play. Whisper with VI and ACD has a very narrow window when it's vulnerable. Otherwise you just have to plink away as it goes and hope for bad defense rolls.

Maybe it was the people I played with but with both the repair droid and the backup shield generator and the combat retrofit it took about 4 hours for them to start damaging my ship past the shields.

Also since it was my first transport game, flechette torpedoes were not as great as I thought they'd be but r3-a2 on a ic y-wing is a force to fight with.

Back to the phantom. Whisper with vi is a hard thing to hit. I kept wishing for the options of echo but I think echos vulnerable window before it recloaks is bigger.

Also wedge with predator. Enough said.

Finally, I know the rules say 2 speed for decloaking but I feel like thematically you should be able to use 1 speed as well. Because essentially the sure thing is that the phantom is definitely not where you think it is. Not a sphere of uncertainty which I feel should make more sense.
