Basic BY13 list: Kings of the roid fields.

By hammerghast, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Been doing alright with a basic 3 ship rebel list I've just thrown together after getting proper tired of HLC+Outrider on my 2400, and thus, finally getting my Falcon some flight time.

Chewbacca...42

Dash Rendar 2

total: 44

Gold...18

Ion 5

R2 astromech 1

total: 24

Blue...22

HLC...7

Adv sensors...3

total: 32

Grand total: 100

Any and all feedback appreciated, this is refined from what was originally incepted as a long range assault list and Im unsure where I wanna go from here, if I need to deviate that much at all.

Your blue load out seems a little contradictory. AS says in close barrel rolling knife fighter, the HLC is useless there, HLC says stand off and pound. not saying that both are not good upgrades, but that you will seldom use both together, unless you get blocked, and since you are low PS that should not happen often.

I would probably keep AS, drop the HLC, and maybe upgrade to a dagger with EU, then you have a real rock dodger, or you can do a lot of things with those points.

my .02 since you asked.

if you want to stand off and pound, then i'd sub FCS for AS, but if your other ships are in the rocks and the B is all alone I expect it will get eliminated quickly

No, it was great feedback, thanks. And I read it in Adama's voice thanks to you profile picture...however the hell it was decided that that should happen.

The B-wing modifications suggested do sound enticing and I'll totally try em, but it's been surprisingly effective as-is in two games now. Yeah, the AS are largely used to get dem barrel rolls, but those also have a use in shifting my arc around a little, and even at range, if I know where they're probably flying, it's helped, but I can understand the criticism of their synergy and it not being all it could.

Standing off and pounding at range is a recurring theme in my lists, and I now see how FCS could help a little more too.

Thanks again!
