Because you have to have them to run a 3 ship list, but if you do...well, then...we've got the biggest...balls of them all!

5 x Kihraxz = Pentaxz?

I would like to preemptively apologize to the first person on the receiving end of a 1-turn Decimator kill if I'm playing the "Thunderstruck" list, because I will scream, "You've been... CLUSTER ******!"

I don't know what you're talking about. That song is about dancing.

Now we need a name for the cluster version.

Thunderstruck.

Winner!

Sorry, had to be! Sadly was ninjad before!

And i would not apologize to killa Deci in one turn... It deserves it!

That makes less sense when heard by someone who doesn't associate it with being a play off of thunderstruck. A *********** is an unorganized mess, which this list shouldn't be.

It is a CF for your enemy! And Thunderstruck doesn't fit at all! While you at least have the Cluster from the missiles XD

A dose of Potassium? Maybe that gets reserved for the k-wing.

Since the list is being called "AC/DC" making the variant song titles is pretty fun, and thunderstruck is a song by that band. Additionally it's a fitting description of what happens when you roll into range 2 and deal 16+ damage in one round; fast and deadly, much like being struck by thunder (lightning).

Plus, the TIE's are from Tempest Squardon, a tempest being a violent storm. You know, like a thunderstorm...

Well, yeah. Taking only three ships is a stressful proposition. I was just saying you have to have a nice relaxing Gala the night before to mentally and physically prepare yourself. THEN, if you manage to pull off the victory, well then one would be inclined to hold giant balls, multiples of them, to celebrate.

What were YOU thinking about?

You must play swarms a lot, most lists in the meta currently use 2 ships, which is often less than 3!

Yes, but 2 ship lists are a thing. Name another 3 ship list that might be a thing. Triple Squints? Maybe, but that's squishy as all get out. Big Balls might be too, but they might survive to be shot at twice.

I'm pretty sure shuttle+firespray+flanker is a thing, triple x, double phantom with a named tie, scum lists with a hawk and Kavil, the list probably goes on from there even.

Yes but since The DC is gone the list has nothing to do anymore with the band...

Irrelevant! Emperor Juggler has spoken. Any dissent will be punished.

Ok.. seeing a lot of the same here.. why not

4 Tempests with title, ATC, and stealth or hull upgrade

Ill be trying it out.

I like the 4 defense dice and the ATC gives the auto crit on your target locked opponent of chouce. I know the advanced can be a dog, and your chosen target isn't 100% gonna be in your arc, but you stand a decent chance of keeping him in sight if you know your dial and take some risks..

I wonder whether in upcoming meta PS4 will be of an significant advance compared to PS2.

If so, I'd prefere 4 Storms + ATC + Twin Ion Engine Upgrade .... given that the Advanced will be more unpredictable after k-turning.

What if your flew Zertik Strom with Sensor Jammer and a 1-2 point upgrade, and then flew him with 6 TIEs?

First engagement try to stay /just/ out of range, then next turn 5 forward into range one?
