Stress list - clever name suggestions welcome

By Slambdogg, in X-Wing

So looking at some of the more recent discussions on here since rebel aces dropped has inspired me to create a new list, shall be playtesting it this weekend... any advice/hints/better ideas.

Nera Dantels

Flechette Torpedo

Flechette Torpedo

B-Wing/E2

Tactician 35

Horton Salm

R3-A2

Flechette Torpedo

Flechette Torpedo 31

Tycho Celchu

Chardaan refit

Push the limit

A-wing test pilot

Outmaneuver

Shield upgrade 34

_________

100

I like the idea of being able to put a boat load of stress on the opponants force, then Tycho nips round the back and does them in from the rear.

The shield upgrade on tycho is only there to use up the last 4 points, was tempted by ion missile on him but would need to find a point.

Plus, i know you guys love naming lists, best name suggestion will win.... nothing.

Well seeing as you have so many flechette torpedoes, and flechettes are basically metal slivers, you could call it Splinter Squadron. Splinters are pretty **** annoying! Some might even say they are 'stressful'.

"Buying a House"

Homeowners will get it.

Monkey Wrench.

Look at all those upgrades. It looks like a Toolbox List.

Receding hairline

Stress shovel

Red pill

No pressure

Deadline

Tooth grinder

In theme with previous suggestions...

"The Homewreckers."

You forgot the 's' at the end of disintegration in your Vader quote.

No I'm not a quote Nazi. Just noticed it is all.

I would consider turning the Shield Upgrade into an Engine Upgrade on either the B or the Y.

For a name, you could go with "It's just a Flechette wound".

Call it "bring some Xanax".

Looking at the list more closely, it would have to go on the Y, but that is where I would likely put it anyway since the B already has Barrel Roll. Also, I have your B-Wing at 33 points, not 35.

If my math is wrong, you could also drop the Upgrade for Deadeye and Advanced Sensors on Nera. That would allow you to take a focus instead of Target Lock and then be able to shoot at anyone on the board. More options since she shoots last.

It has a B, A and Y wing and they have obviously bought lots of stuff online.

Good Spot... i originally was toying with wingman on Nera, to help salm shed his stress, then realised it was start of the shooting phase it kicks in and would be worthless.

So that leaves 6pts free, Ion missile on Tycho & Deadeye on nera?

Another way is you could go is to trade Tycho's shield upgrade for a stealth device and either use the extra point for VI on Nera for a PS 7, or save it for a bid on initiative. PS 7 ain't huge, but it beats all Imperial generics, and a lot of unique pilots too.

How about "Stress-ticles" you need balls to fly this list.... ;)

Feels like a little too much if a good thing. I'd be tempted to find 12pts for a z. Sheild and missile and refit gets you to 10.

If going with deadeye on Nera you could call it red eye.

But Proton rockets on Tycho! Free TL+Focus from behind for the dunk!

Don't sweat the small stuff.

Goosfraba wing!

"All Stressed Out"

I like 'deadline'

I'm a journalist these days. It's deadline week on my magazine.

I'm currently 'work avoiding' on here as i've still got 4000 words to write and some photos to process!

Deadline works for stress, it also has a second meaning if you call the list 'The Deadline' or something like that.

"Angry Birds"

Stress Level Midnight

I know that this is not what you are asking for, but I would not use Tactician on Nera since it requires both range AND arc restrictions. The advantage of Nera is not having to worry about your arc when attacking.
