BC IG

By Geoffy, in X-Wing

IG BC each with: PTL, Mangler, Title, Advanced Sensors, DMS, and Autothrusters

100 pts even.

Basically 3 actions every turn with a great dial. Autothrusters to slay fat falcons with built in "gunner".

Thoughts gents?

I personally think that autothrusters natural complement is HLC on a ship that can fit both. With HLC you want to stay at range 3 to maximise effectiveness of the weapon, and Autothrusters complement that nice with the " 1 blank into elude" while beyond range 2.
I would be more into something like this :

IG-88C — Aggressor 36

Push the Limit 3

Fire-Control System 2

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Autothrusters 2

IG-2000 0

IG-88B — Aggressor 36

Push the Limit 3

Fire-Control System 2

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Autothrusters 2

IG-2000 0

I love the possibilities this ship provides, i'll 100% buy 2 of them as soon as they will be out here

Only prob is that range one effectively shuts down the ability to use your cannon with the pseudogunner ability.

DMS?

Edit: Oh deadman switch.

One snag to consider: when you ptl you will stress and won't be able to use advanced sensors. It's why I don't love ptl and AS together on Corran.

Unless you use Advanced Sensor, then PtL, then get stress, then reveal one of the 9 green maneuvers available to IG-88. Repeat next turn.

I think that would be fine, adv sensors doesn't give you stress and then if you reveal a green maneuver you just took three actions and still have no stress. It's pretty boss.

Drop Dead Man's Switch for Flechette Cannon. Fixes the problem you'd have when you want to use your Gunner-like ability at range 1 but you have an HLC. Also more useful than frickin' Dead Man's Switch, which will very rarely trigger for you, I'll tell you right now.

My version:

IG-88 B

Title

Mangler Cannon

Auto-Thrusters

Vet Instincts

Fire Control System

Proton Bombs

IG-88 C

Title

Mangler Cannon

Auto-Thrusters

Vet Instincts

Fire Control System

Proton Bombs

100pts even

I cannot wait to try this list out. I realize that PtL is going to see a lot of play but I think pushing the PS skill up might make more of an impact in todays meta. Also, this thing is just screaming to be used as a bomber, especially with proton bombs.

You know, instead of dropping DMS for a Hotshot I'd be more tempted to switch it up for an Ion or Flechette cannon. Again covers your range 1 but adds a tactical element and isn't 1 use.

I think k-turns are important for the ig ship. I assume everyone will think about using D after a game or 2

I agree I think I'll opt for the flechette cannon first try and see how I like that.
