As per the title, we've tried some games with two small ships and 60 points. Usually with alot of terrain, like two sets of asteroid all over the board.This seems to generate alot of fun pairings and unexpected card combos just for the fun of trying stuff out.

This was fun:

What kinda list would you fly with those limitations?

Two royal guards with shield upgrade and stealth device or hull. Then EPT, determination or VI

It'd be so hard to turn down either one of these for me:

Soontir Fel

-Push the Limit

-Autothrusters

Turr Phenir

-Veteran Instincts

-Autothrusters

or

Royal Guard Pilot

-Push the Limit

-Autothrusters

-Stealth Device

Royal Guard Pilot

-Push the Limit

-Autothrusters

-Stealth Device

Granted, I love Interceptors so this would just give me an excuse to run a duo

Edit: Actually this would be what I'd run, because the only ship I like more than Interceptors are Phantoms

Sigma Squadron Pilot

-Fire Control System

-Intelligence Agent

-Stygium Particle Accelerator

Sigma Squadron Pilot

-Fire Control System

-Intelligence Agent

-Stygium Particle Accelerator

I like this rules variant it makes for a more intimate dog fight. It's almost a Top Gun mentality with 2 aces, one lead and one wingman. I think the abundance of asteroids may make your ship choices limited but then again dog fights in real life don't involve planes that can't take the heat. I think mirror matches could be loads of fun for this as well.

2x PS4 Y-Wings with ICT + Engine Upgrade + and R2/Unhinged Astromech. One gets the Title.

Vader+Advanced Targeting Computer

Juno Eclipse+VI/ATC

****, do I ever need the raider to get here....

Howlrunner (18)

Stealth Device (3)

Push the Limit (3)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

Academy Pilot (12)

2x Green Squad A-Wings - PTL, Outmaneuver, Test Pilot, Autothrusters & Proton Rockets

Or

Lt. Blount

- VI, Clusters & Shield Upgrade

Airen Cracken

- Predator, Clusters & Shield Upgrade

Seems like Buzzsaw whisper + TIE and Loaded Corran + bandit would just default win.

Interesting that mostly everyone takes doubles of the same ship and upgrades, I feel there are some missed opportunities for fun synergies between different ships and pilots when doubling up.

Double phantoms could be interesting to face though!

Rhymer

-PTL

-Adv. Protons x2

Backstabber

-Stealth Device

Just cause the bomber gets no love.

Go on guess what i'd take.

2 defenders.

I like Vessery with VI and Colzet with FCS. Could be very fun! I love this variation!

N'Dru Suhlak — Z-95 Headhunter 17

Lone Wolf 2

Cluster Missiles 4

"Hot Shot" Blaster 3

Hull Upgrade 3

Ship Total: 29

Laetin A'shera — M3-A Interceptor 18

Heavy Laser Cannon 7

Shield Upgrade 4

"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) 2

Ship Total: 31

Seems like the perfect place for ashera to shine

This seems fun:

Prince Xizor (31)

Predator (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Syndicate Thug (18)

Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Unhinged Astromech (1)

BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Much success today with these two, just alot of fun flying! N'Dru got Stealth Device because he always seems to die before getting a shot off, this made a big difference!

My friends and I been playing a 60 point homebrew format for a little while. We haven't had a 2 ship restriction (or a small ship restriction) like this thread suggests but I think we might have to implement one as "4TIEs" has been crushing our little meta!

I tried something similar; one large asteroid in the middle, 1 small in each corner. Still use it as a test-setting for combinations.

Have fun with shadow squadron pilot, weapons engineer, fcs, stygium particle generator and two obsidian squadron pilots.

Or, if two is the limit, two named a-wings with ion missiles
