The "other stuff" in the new FAQ.

I'm waiting for someone to make a list that has no Binary Pirates and call it, "Yes, we have no Bananas". Maybe a Black Sun Swarm?

I hadn't realized that Accuracy Corrector could be used to trigger Gunner if the roll isn't to your liking.

Briefly considered an "Armegeddon Shuttle" with Vader, Gunner, and AC.

Xizor with a mini-swarm of four feedback Zs has enough points left over for full Black Sun status regardless of the Xizor build

Xizor (V.I + Virago --> FCS, Autothrusters) [38] or (Predator, Virago, Sensors, Thrusters) [40]

Blacksun (feedback) [15] X 4

[Total: 98 or 100]

I already call the blacksuns bugzappers and the list "Xizor's Exterminators Inc." but there's no reason they can't have no bananas :P

This could be good with IG-88B. Say you only roll 2 hits with your HLC and you know maybe 1 will get through, AC them and not add the two hits. You attack misses, then roll again with 88Bs ability.

I know what I'm singing to taunt an opponent whose Binarye Pirates I just slaughtered :)

The Joke

Loaded Boba Fett + 4 Banana Pirates = Banana Boat Squad

Burst maneuver where two pirates go left, two go right, and Boba goes up the middle = Banana Split

Come mr Boba, tally the banana, Vader come and we wanna fly home.

Kath Scarlett=Banana split with a cherry on top.

The ruling on moving when touching another ship was interesting. You could, in theory, start with your whole squad touching each other then execute the same straight maneuvers and still get your actions, and still be touching.

Jump back to address this: won't work because you move them 1 at a time. The first one moves --> they're now not touching --> second one moves --> doesn't overlap --> not touching.

Banana pirates?Is that what the kids are calling them these days or was that a case of autocorrect?

Autocorrect or not, I love it and I'm going to have to add that one into my X-Wing vernacular!
That was either S&V or Nova Squadron podcast. Just much easier to say.
It also matches nicely with the Mango Cannon.

Now if only the Banana Pirates could equip their ships with Mango Cannon's!

nah, that'd be weird

you can, however, have one banana pirate between two mangos ;)

+1

I see what you did there.
