The Lando Calrissian Adventures (ship build idea)

By SlaveofChrist, in X-Wing

I've often wondered how I might be able to build a stock YT-1300 (Outer Rim Smuggler) into a decent ship - but it's been difficult to conceive when it has no Elite Talent slots. Then we recently got the new Experimental Interface modification and I began to mull this over. Finally, I came up with a build that is even thematic of an earlier Millennium Falcon before Solo won it from Calrissian. Specifically, I was thinking of Lando with Vuffi Raa in "The Lando Calrissian Adventures" flying the Falcon before it was heavily modfied by Solo and Chewbacca. I liked how the new Experimental Interface indirectly adds a Push the Limit elite upgrade. So here it is...

The total comes in at a total of 37 points total - 5 points cheaper then the cheepest non-upgraded Falcon pilot card! I'm calling it the The Lando Calrissian Adventures build (LCA

build). I like it because it gives you excellent "bang-for-the-buck" ratio because with Lando, you could potentially get at least one focus or one evade (or both) and with a target lock you get two target locks, saving you one more action in the future. And with the Falcon title, you could really help evade with a Lando/Evade double action.

Anyways, I thought that this could go a long way over a "standard" Falcon build while save you 5-15 points total. Let me know what you veterans think....

Cheers and God bless :)

I drop the WepEng for Jan. Lando was a bit of a ladies man in addition to gambler. Jando + EI is up to 3 evades + Dice.

I really like it A LOT. I agree with the Jan comment. Many evades is good

Really? Oh...I thought it meant another friendly ship (not yours).

That could definatly change things...thanks!

I really like this idea. It could make for an extremely tanky Falcon. And I love thematic lists. And I love Lando, so that is good too!

I love the idea, I try it when I have the upgrades, greettings.

I actually like the weapons engineer, since the 2 Attack means that the ship needs all the offensive help it can get. But definitly a cool idea and a nice budget high-hp filler on a rebel list.

Put together a couple of lists featuring the LCA build:

Yeah it includes you - you are friendly to yourself. :)

It confused me too at first.

I've been experimenting with a two yt-1300 list, and it's preformed well so far, but it's far from perfected. I've been using Han in the MF and then an ORS with Jan and C-3PO.

Wait is that an actual alt art ORS Falcon?!

No, but kind of you to say ^_^ . I thought it might look nice to jazz up the Outer Rim Smuggler card to use with Calrissian, without changing the stats on the card. Kind of like a promo card. The dead give a way though is the font type used. I haven't figured out how to mimic the font style yet...

I found the awesome art of the Falcon by an artist called Valcam (click link to see) and it seemed to fit perfect for a "Lando-type" card.
