Thanks for the vids!

Really wanted to see Dom's 3x Blue Squadron + Roark -squad win, as im a big fan of those ships and im planning to fly a quite similar list at a tournament this weekend. But, oh well...

How well did he do in other games? Just curious.

Speaking of his 3x Blue Squadron + Roark list, does anyone have the specifics on it?

Dom went 3-2 and finished 8th out of 30. Cut was to top 4.

Can anyone describe the death blossom on this forum? I haven't seen anything about it and can't get on team covenant or a few maneuvers to see it for myself.

I tried to post pics, but this forum wouldn't let me. Sorry.

You have to upload them somewhere else, and then link to them using the Image button.

Here's what the final blossom looks like (taken shamelessly off his post)

Love the name choice for it btw.

I loaded them onto photobucket and flickr. No dice. :(

I what.

My brain exploded.

That return on blossom collapse is truly i think the most innovative part of it.

I created a variant of this actually for 3 ships: I was running:

Rexler Brath (37)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Proton Rockets (3)
Hull Upgrade (3)
Gamma Squadron Pilot (18)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Munitions Failsafe (1)
Captain Jonus (22)
Draw Their Fire (1)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Total: 99
Deploy as a pinwheel missing one corner. Gamma front right, Jonus middle left, Rexler back center and (3 ships, one corner is empty).
Face the Phantom at R4 to R5. Then, Right side Gamma does 1 slight turn left , left side Jonus does 1 slight turn right, center Rexler does 2 straight.
This completely covers a 180 arc and has two ships on most of the firing area.
Any of the three ships I have can somewhat cripple the Phantom and make it more predictable the next round.
This can also work with Corran PS10, Lt. Blount with Deadeye and Ion Pulse Missile, and some Zs.

imgur is what you want. It's very streamlined, failproof and doesn't require an account (you *can* get one, but don't bother). You drag and drop your image in the little dialog it shows you after picking "upload image file" on there. Once your image shows up, click on it so you get access to its direct link and use that here.
