BBs

By EvilEwok83, in X-Wing Squad Lists

tried a list out, like it alot, but I think the last 25ish points are weak.

Keyan Farlander (29)
Stay On Target (2)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Ion Cannon (3)

Ten Numb (31)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Total: 100

Ion Cannon on Keyan is just to fill out points. which is always a bad thing. taking something just "because" means you haven't thought it through.

I love my stress Y, but usually I run him as part of a rebel swarmish list, which means he's target #1. here, he's target 3 and when he is last....well it brings memories of space cows to mind. So I have 28 pts to play with.

Biggs with r4-d6? Hobbie with R3-A2? two Z95s? I'm leaning towards Biggs, but I've enjoyed the stressbot so much recently. Jake Farrel + PTL+VI+AT+Refit is fun at 28 pts, but I don't think he draws any fire away from the Bs at all.

Gold with R3A2, A4 title & ion turret is all kinds of evil. I hate seeing that thing!

If you really wanted to drop it (not sure why you would) then hobbie or biggs could carry the stressbot, but I don't think they do anything more for your list than the Gold does...

while I love the stress Y, its probably the least dangerous of the three ships (other than in specific circumstances). its doesn't do alot of damage, with two unmodified attacks. and if it is left for last, it really has no chance.
