After coming in dead last in my Store Championship today (Thank you 5 blank greens on a cloaked Phantom first combat pass), I have come to the realization that I SUCK at flying the big ships. My Whisper/Rear Admiral Keanu list got molly-womped all four rounds today. I managed to kill ONE Acadamy Tie. In four rounds. Total.

So yeah, now that I've kvetched about it, here's how I plan to fix it. I'm gonna run nothing BUT the fat bottom girls. Here we go.

Patrol Leader w/ Rebel Captive - 43pts

Omnicron Group Pilot w/ His Darthness, Lord of Throat Hugs - 24pts

Bounty Hunter - 33pts

Total - a smooth 100/100 even

The plan is to give myself nothing but Darth to rely on so that I must needs position myself accordingly. The RC on the Laser Sponge is simply there to give the other guy something to think about. Plus, it's what, something like 30 hull/shields...check that, 33 H/S. That should keep me flying for a minute or two.

Anybody else ever made a spite list as a training exercise?

If so, what was it? Who hurt you? Show me on the dolly...

I have a 75 point rear admiral I built after not doing enough damage in my last tournament. I've yet to test it in-game.

Sweet Mary and Joseph on a donkey! 75 pts on one ship. God speed, good sir. May the Force be all the way up in your stuff. Please lt us know how that goes.

So noone else hate-flies ships to get better?

I took a YYYZ build as sacrifice to the dice during league in the hopes that I would be rewarded during the first store championship in the area. It did fairly well, and then performed as expected/planned. Which was lose.

As for if the sacrifice worked? I had a great first match. Super hot dice and then the second game everything went cold. Sub zero. Finished the store championship 3-3 at 19th.

I will never sacrifice tournament prep with flying terrible lists again. (At least until tomorrow afternoon when I fly the Y's for funzies again).

I flew that "Three Amigos" list at my last store tourney. Im sure youre a better player than me; but still....

good luck.

I've flown that list before and it's a lot of fun would love to see it win a store champs

I am grudge flying them. I know it will fusstrate (TM HHH) the crap out of me, but I need to know how they move if only to destroy them better. Besides, if I can learn those big bases I can only imagine it will help my small ship game.

Enough about me sucking. Anyone else flown something that just was NOT your jam, or even your jelly?

Personally I have yet to fly a ship I can't figure out. That being said, I rarely foray into the large base end of the pool, but my Rear Admiral+Soontir works wonders so I'm wondering how my bounty hunter/OGP game will be. I think I'm gonna go set up an obstacle course to go fly through now.
