best 50 pt rebel ship?

By churchwarden, in X-Wing

IF u had 50 pts to spend on a rebel ship, or ships I guess, what would u go for? A yt? A hooned up corran horn? A pair of b's? I am thinking of running a pair of ys, with twin lasers, one with r3a2, and that come out to the first 50 pts, but what to fill rest of list with?

.... So got some decent tankyness already......

Thoughts? I need some hard hittingness I think. So Jake and a b would be ok.........

Hmmmm..........

Hard to beat a loaded up Corran, but it really depends on what the other 50 points of your list is.

Other 50 pts is 2 y wings. 1 a stressbot. Both with tlt

Biggs.

A fully outfitted Decimator... mmm tastey

50 pts of Biggs? Really? How?......why?

Ah yes, the Decimator, the mainstay of the Rebel hit-and-fade tactics!

:P.

Well, you might have some points left over. :P.

Maybe like so:

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R3-A2 (2)
Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Biggs Darklighter (25)
Kyle Katarn (21)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Jan Ors (2)
Total: 100

50 points in A ship or 50 points worth of shipS ?

Originally I was thinking a ship. A yt? 2400 maybe or a fat horn.... A ridiculous ten numb.....

if you're putting 50 points into a single ship you probably want something that won't instantaneously vaporise under sustained fire

...... so not Ten Numb :)

I would have to suggest Corran Horn. For maximum deadliness/survivability, he should have PTL (though I personally prefer him with VI so he can move last). And while the normal PTL comes with AdvS, I really like the FCS to keep his damage up so his actions can be defensive. As such:

Corran w/ R2D2, Engine Upgrade, Veteran Instincts / Push the Limit, Fire Control System / Advanced Sensors

46-49 points

If you really wanted to fill the remaining points up, you could always add a Flechette to the 46/48 point version

Might I suggest a ridiculous (ly hard to hit) Ibtisam?

Ibtisam (28)
Elusiveness (2)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Extra Munitions (2)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Kyle Katarn (3)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
The EM of course when it becomes available.

EM isn't needed. Just load up with 2 flechettes. The one change I would make to this (if you had a point) would be to upgrade from Elusiveness to PTL. I know, Elusiveness technically makes her "harder" to hit, but it's really not that big of a deal. And if she's against lower PS folks (or gets out of arc) she can't get stressed to reroll her offensive die. PTL allows her to BR and focus (for a second token, which can be used on defense, which actually can make a difference with her reroll ability), and therefore is arguably more defensive than a single red die reroll.

best 50 point ship is 2 Tactician BSPs :)

Chewbacca + Gunner + a few other points of upgrades.

EM is actually strictly worse to double Flechette torpedoes on a B-Wing, one wrong crit and it's useless. :P.

A B-Wing should always find ways to stress herself. It's not that hard, with that dial. :P.
