So I have been playing X wing since March of Last year and I have never been good a building squads for Tournaments. Usually I love to just have fun and play with whatever and not really care about winning or losing. This time though Id love to actually have a chance. I am wondering if I could get some help with a good Alliance build. I have two of every allinace small ship and one of each big ship. No scum or villian yet though. If anyone has some good suggestions it would be appreciated in advanced.
Looking for Help for A tournement
There's tons of 'netlists' out there to choose from. For the sake of sheer simplicity, and given you haven't really indicated any preferences, I will suggest BBBBZ. Currently considered the most 'competitive' rebel build for some reason. I guess because its durable, so less prone to mistakes and packs lots of firepower for taking out most types of builds relatively quick. Both of these factors gives it good MOV potential (important for doing well in tourneys).
Thanks I will look into it. Im prefer alliance to rebels when i play. I tired to find some good netlists, but, I couldnt find any current ones so maybe I was looking in the wrong area.
I'm a big fan of ABXY.
Four different rebel ships with different abilities means they never get boring, a potential issue when you're doing multiple games in a row with the same list. At the same time you've got decent firepower, reasonable maneuverability and some control.
You'll probably still lost to 'extreme' lists, but If you want a good chance at winning some games while having fun, something like this could work:
When you said 'alliance' I thought you meant rebels (as in Rebel Alliance). Are you referring to Empire?
I am referring to the Rebel Alliance, sorry for any confusion.
Offering list builds really depends on how you like to fly; slow and steady? BBYY (if as you state you have 2 of every small ship), load out the Y's with ICT's and the B's with FCS's leaving you 6 points left - E2 expansions & tacticians on the B'S? Or Flachette canons on the B's and R2 or R5 astromechs on the Y's...?
Prefer seat-of your-pants-flying? 4x Green squadron A-Wings with PTL & Autothrusters & a couple of Pro rockets...?
Do you like flying big ships? either YT plus escort is always going to do well...
Enjoy flying old-school? a 3-man named x-wing list will do well against interceptors (but less well against fat turrets/swarms)...

Green Squadron Pilot (19)Push the Limit (3)Chardaan Refit (-2)Blue Squadron Pilot (22)Fire-Control System (2)Tarn Mison (23)R7 Astromech (2)"Dutch" Vander (23)Ion Cannon Turret (5)Bomb Loadout (0)R2 Astromech (1)Seismic Charges (2)Total: 100
I was going to suggest an almost identical list. Only difference is replacing R2 and Bomb loadout/seismic with R7T1 to give Dutch some added mobility...besides who doesnt like a boosting Ywing!?
Ive also seen this list flown well. its a bit unorthodoxed but looked really fun to fly and most opponents find your mobility perplexing
etahn+PTL+R5P9+FCS
4Xprototype+CR
