B3: The Search for Spock

By Baron Soontir Fel, in X-Wing

Yes, the streams have been crossed. I am so very sorry.

That said I have a tournement coming up in a few weeks and have been, alongside the rest of the board, trying to come up with an effective all comers list. This is what I've got so far. I should be able to test it out this weekend, but would love some feedback:

Roark Garnet

Ion Cannon Turret

Keyan Farlander
Push the Limit

Blue Squadron Pilot

Blue Squadron Pilot

I'm confident in this squad's ability to handle Falcons, but Phantoms are a real concern. Is Roark enough of a defense? I could also swap out Keyan for Blue + HLC + Advanced Sensors, but Keyan is a.) more fun and b.) more flexible.

hmm, it looks solid, has alot of beefyness, however it just doesn't sit right. Your list is very prone to having a ship die a turn from lack of defense due to no evasion, and without a protective piece over Roark, you can lose the PS 12 boost.

suggestions of the top of my head are drop a blue for a prototype + refit, and spend the 7 points on your other ships. (blue to dagger w/adv sensors) but I'm not sold on that either.

You realize of course that you will need to hit the Falcon twice to ionize it.

Speaking of ions, Theorist mentioned this list recently:

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Ion Cannon (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Ion Cannon (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Ion Cannon (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Ion Cannon (3)

Total: 100

Can easily ion a Falcon off the board and you only need to hit the Phantom once to stop it from decloaking. Then it's easy to get around it and take it out.

This would be a fun list to run in my opinion.

I would try that 4 B ion list. Though, I think you still have to predict well vs Phantom.

You realize of course that you will need to hit the Falcon twice to ionize it.

With 3 bwings if you hit the falcon twice it'll be dead lol.

Yes, obviously. The Ion isn't for the Falcon, it's for the Phantoms or Z's or whatever. I trust the B-Wings (especially with Keyan Focus/TL every turn) to take the Falcon down quick enough.
