I don't get to play all that often, and my creativity tends to run a little stale. Aside from using the new ships in my collection, I tend to fall back on old favorites: X-Wings, A-Wings, Defenders, Interceptors, Bombers, and the Firespray.

I'm looking for ideas. Not for whole teams. And not tournament level competitive. Just a compelling pilot/upgrade combo. Statements like the title: "You haven't played X-Wing until you've flown [boba with a Navigator]."

I'll refer here next time I get a game going.

You havent played x-wing until you've flown a TIE swarm

Only own 5, but that's never been a desire of mine, even when it was one of 2 Imperial sstrategies.

Psyco-Tycho!

...Two HWKs!

Rebel Z-95 Headhunter swarm!

Three Lambdas with canons and Captain Jonus!

...FOUR HWKs!

Quad HWK squad!

PTL + Advanced Sensors + R2 astro Etanh !

PTL + Advanced Sensors + R2 astro Etanh !

Did that with a Z-95 Headhunter swarm!

It's surprisingly effective.

Psyco-Tycho!

Yeah, Tycho with push the limit, daredevil (a-wing title) and experimental interface is an absolute blast. There is simply no other ship that can do what he does. Throw on Proton Rockets for extra sh!ts & g!ggles

Oh, and bring on the debris clouds! Tycho loves flying through those

Also, anything with barrel roll & advanced sensors is amusing. Guri, E'tahn and Ibtisam are all good times and you can really surprise your opponent with some 'unusual' moves after a pre-dial barrel roll (and/or boost if you have it).

Good thread!

I vote Tie Swarm. Mastered to the blocking level.

The other one is Paul Heaver's 4Os for Wave5 and ramming a Dash to death:

Literally, you can trap Dash with the two large ships and ram him to literal death. In a corner. A very sad and dark corner.

You haven't played X-Wing until you've flown over a third of your points as upgrades.
