OK, picked up the Outrider expansion last week, and I'm trying some off-the-cuff thinking. I'm a regular user of X-Wing lists, so I wanted to see what I could come up with to work in concert with the YT-2400, which gives a little bit more leeway for customisation over the Falcon.

Here's what I got so far - please comment, critique, etc:

Dash Rendar - Draw Their Fire, Tactical Jammer, Jan Ors, Ion Cannon

Wedge Antilles

Biggs Darklighter

(with up to 3 points left for Wedge)

or

Eaden Vrill - Tactical Jammer, Jan Ors

Wedge Antilles - R3-A2, Predator

Biggs Darklighter - R2-F2, Experimental Interface

It should be pretty straightforward as to what the goal is here - keep Biggs alive long enough to let the other two ships do some serious damage. Ion Torpedoes will put a huge downer on the Biggs party of course, but hey. I'm wondering if dropping Dash all the way down to a Wild Space Fringer with HLC in the first list (and trying to fit Swarm Tactics on Wedge) might be another way to go as well...

How about

Vrill

- Jan Ors

- Tac Jammer

Biggs

- R2-F2

And Garven with R3-A2?

Leaving 9 points to spend. Garven passing around his Focus which Jan can turn into a guaranteed evade, Biggs rolling 4 green dice anyway.

Sounds interesting - I hadn't considered Garven's synergy with Jan, which could be a great combo, both while Biggs is still alive and once he inevitably kicks the bucket. Still leaves room for a HLC on Vrill as well..

Biggs with up to 5 evade dice at Range 3 AND an evade token could be hilarious... well, for one side of the table, anyway

It's just too bad that you can't hide behind double obstacles, or at least I don't think you can.

Hiding behind two asteroids was of course almost impossible but now with the Tac Jammer and Huge ships and asteroids...

The FAQ only addresses moving through multiple obstacles, unless I'm missing something?

Never come up for me, but I'm going to assume an attack can only be obstructed once until told otherwise!

In other news, I may name this the Bob Marley build.
