Yt-1300

By coolfishboy, in X-Wing

So I been playing around with the yt-2400 on vassal

so how would you load it up? I will be running it with 4 bandits!

I was thinking

leebo

outrider

Hlc

predator

recon spec

thoughts?

1300 or 2400?

Thread title says 1300.

So confused.

Based on him saying he wants to use the Outrider title, it's pretty safe to say he means the 2400.

you're a few YTs short there :P

I really want to play Dash (asteroid shenanegans!), and if the **** box ever comes out...

Dash

*PTL

*HLC

*Outrider

*Nien Numb (Mr. Green Straights)

Los Banditos (4)

Really not sure about the other YT-2400 pilots. Leebo seems fun because of possible interactions with Determination, but knowing my luck I'll just end up drawing continuous pairs of Direct Damage.

I would run Leebo with Determination. Get your pick of crits, pick the Pilot header, and discard it.

Haha woops, yep 2400 lol, I quite like the look of that dash build, could be fun, determination is a interesting combo

The interaction between Leebo and Experimental Interface (guess that's why the card's included :P) could also be a lot of fun, and could free up Dash's EPT(which anti-phantom fanatics will probably just load with V.I)

Apart from Dash (abuse asteroids to no end!), I'm also really questioning the inclusion of Outrider on the Yt-2400s

While it is an awesome title and turrets are all the range, especially four dice screw your +1 green for Range 3 turrets, it's a hefty investment with some severe drawbacks. Plus, would you really run anything that wasn't a HLC? Would you spend 10 points just to shoot at range one and ignore green dice, or 38 points minimum for an Ion Cannon Turret?

In cases where you can't have a flightly Yt-2400 (or one you can body-guard with a Wall of Zs) I think it might just be better to keep the cannon in arc and fly around with a 2 dice turret.

In order to keep the YT-2400 from just being Dash and some nice upgrades, I want to find a justified way to get Eaden Vrille onto the table. Sadly, all I can think of is tactician :P and maybe an Ion cannon (no title, or it completely defeats the purpose of his ability) and I'm not sure if that's worth doing over the likes of Farlander or Wedge.

I guess a sturdy Leebo with Outrider and Dash (crew) could also be fun for showing your opponent how fickle unmodified green dice can be ;) Mainly, though, I see crew Dash going on Advanced Sensor B-wings for maximum "obstruction? what obstruction?" trolling
