Scum & Villainy:

IG-88C (Lone Wolf, Autothrusters) - 40 points

Kath (Outlaw Tech) - 40 points

Guri (Predator, Advanced Sensors, Inertial Dampeners, Autothrusters, Virago) - 40 points

Kavil (Determination, Blaster Turret, R4 Agromech, Shield Upgrade, Bomb Loadout, Proton Bombs) - 40 points

Palob (Stay on Target, Blaster Turret, Outlaw Tech, Inertial Dampeners, Shield Upgrade, Moldy Crow) - 36 points (I know, not quite 40 points but could be effective/annoying)

I guess the front half of a raider and 5 chardaans isnt allowed?

Those are all pretty solid. I'd lean towards IG-88 or Guri, but I'm a sucker for having some toys with a pilot.

Not unless you take your model, saw it in half, and glue five A-Wings to the front of it. But then we're cool.

I was thinking of gluing the engines and back half of fuselage of 5 awings onto the co of the front half of the raider..... I was thinking the only problem would b coming up with the cards, and I'd have to proxy, however, if I am using 5 awings I will have the cards...... So no problem at all!

Tycho w/ PTL, DD, EI, Prockets, ATP

And a 2 point init bid.

Note: Do not write this pilot off after only playing it once or twice. It's a completely style of flying than ANYTHING else out there.

Wait why are we forgetting Lone Wolf right now?? Constant rerolls!

Luke Skywalker - Lone Wolf, R2-D2, Engine Upgrade, Flachette Torpedos.

IMO, small ships with No means to get over their 3 die offense really should not go over 35/36 if they can help it. 40 points is more phantom/corran or large ship territory because those ships/pilots simply give you more returns when you load them up. Any more and I fear they don't make their points back.

Luke for me will never go above vi + r3-a2 + EU (35) or LW/pred and r5-p9 (33/34, r5-p9 being not so limiting as r2 imo)

Soontir caps himself at ptl + thrusters + SD/shield @ 35 or 36

The only point of contention is xizor, because he's an m.o.v nightmare (far less than fatties but still) and I don't know if his sensors would be better off as 2 feedbacks hidden in 5 zs.

As PS 9, he NEEDS the FCS to have a justifiable offense so he's running you 38 w/thrusters

Don't take Xizor, he's a waste of points. Ps7 is high enough to be a good arc dodger and at Ps9 he doesn't have much arc dodging ability. You're better off with 3 z95's.

Now I'm still very new to this game, but have been around star wars for a long time (only person I know to complete both tie fighter and xwing)... That being said, the first thing I reach for, whether it's 40 pts, 12 pts, or 100- is my frosty mug of my favorite brewed beverage!

Tycho w/ PR, EI, ATP, Outmaneuver, Ptl or EH or Daredevil

Tycho w/ PR, EI, ATP, Outmaneuver, Ptl or EH or Daredevil

How does EI w/ PTL work?

Tycho w/ PR, EI, ATP, Outmaneuver, Ptl or EH or Daredevil

How does EI w/ PTL work?

With Tycho, stress doesn't affect his action use, so it means 3 actions.

Tycho w/ PR, EI, ATP, Outmaneuver, Ptl or EH or Daredevil

How does EI w/ PTL work?

Action

PTL

Action from action bar

EI

Action from equipped upgrade card with action header

Stress from equipped upgrade card with action header (if appropriate)

stress from PTL

Stress from EI

So you don't need to be Tycho to use both - provided you don't have any stress when you initiate the combo

I have a few go to rebel pilots in the 40ish bracket

Keyan Farlander- Push the Limit, Advanced Sensors, add 5 points of upgrades to taste, E2 with Chewie might be fun

Ten Numb- Ion Cannon, Calculation, E2, tactician, maybe FCS to make up the 40 exactly

Luke Skywalker- R2D2, Engine Upgrade any EPT you like (Predator, Lone Wolf, PTL, VI all good choices)

You can also get a "light" Corran in at 40 with FCS and R5-P9 but I would probably spend a few more points on the guy

Give Ten Numb a Mangler he much prefers that.

Dark Curse and 2 Academy Pilots!

I was going to say Backstabber and 2 APs. Great minds and stuff and things.

Dark Curse and 2 Academy Pilots!

I was going to say Backstabber and 2 APs. Great minds and stuff and things.

I was going to say that too, but then with all the PS7+ high firepower stuff out there, I figure Dark Curse is far more likely to actually get a shot off before he explodes.

Backstabber is just a much cheaper Imperial Biggs who doesn't need to fly in formation to draw fire to him. At least that's the way my opponents always treat him...

Dark Curse is just evil. We need a tie advanced pilot who is just as defensive and annoying to pair him with.

Mando Merc + Recon Spec + Lone Wolf

Tycho w/ PR, EI, ATP, Outmaneuver, Ptl or EH or Daredevil

How does EI w/ PTL work?

Everyone else explained but yea, normal action, ptl, then barrel roll or turn. EI is only necessary if you don't do OM + PtL. I personally would do PtL + DD
