Been playing with a Squadron builder. My next X-Wing purchase is likely to be YT-2400, simply because I like the Rebel large ships and this one more so.

So this is what a Luke/Outrider upgrade would look like:

LUKE

After you perform an attack that does not hit, immediately perform a primary weapon attack.....

OUTRIDER

.....you cannot perform primary weapon attacks.....

This sparked a little mental debate.

My logic is that Luke is a waste of points in this case as you cannot perform primary weapon attacks. Making his ability null and void.

But I'm not always right. And I'm a newbie with one game experience.

So was my gutt feeling right?

Or if Outrider misses with the turret, and has Luke as crew, can it perform a primary weapon attack?

For those of you curious, the Outrider/Luke was part of a Wild Space Fringer with Mangler Cannon turret. Still debating other upgrades.

Outrider title prevents the attacks with Luke/Gunner.

Luke and gunner cannot be used when outrider title and a cannon are equipped. They are a REALLY expensive insurance against crits that discard scondaey weapons.

I hate being right.

Was a nice thought while it lasted.

Any tips for making Mangler Outrider even better?

Predator.

Squadron builder doesn't list Predator for the YT-2400. But I've read that upgrade before and would be nasty with the Mangler.

One option I thought of was Recon Specialist.

In my game FOCUS was a very effective action. Worked better than EVADE and made R2-F2 look lame. Best part, if it's not used in attack it can be used in defense. So an extra FOCUS is worth considering.

Pilot- Dash

Title- Outrider

Elite- Push the Limit

Crew- Kyle Katarn

Cannon- Heavy Laser Cannon

Mod- Engine Upgrade

Stick to greens for stress removal and free focus, target lock the ship you want to shoot, then push the limit for boost/barrel roll to get that ship out of range one or to get off a rock you may have landed on. If the ship is outside of one and you're not on a rock, you can choose to boost or roll for arc dodging purposes or just take another focus.

Yes, the standard Super Dash.

Super Dash!

I'll definitely give that one a go!

I actually prefer nein numb on my super dash. Ive seen a lot of people make lone wolf work really well too.
