Well, one of the locals, Drew Bishop, made the top 16, placing 14th, with a Whisper/Mini Swarm build.

Does anyone have the standings right now?

So do we got a list of top 16 yet? Is MJ going to post that up tomorrow?

This is from Nova Squadron radio facebook page

Going to try and hunt down all the Top 16 lists tomorrow morning. I made 20th overall so will have some free time tomorrow. ;-)

KILL THOSE KWINGS. =DDDDD

Okay, like... I would not be happy about 3TLT Kwings/Miranda getting the spotlight. I hate Miranda. More PWT annoying crap. Even dash had a doughnut hole. K's DONT. They get 3 dice at every range, and miranda gets 4 and crazy stuff.

AND no MOV fix for large ships. Ugh!!!!

So on the feed I saw some amazing variation. I may have missed a list or two, but really, I just don't understand complaints at this point. It just sounds like "This game is no longer purely about the narrow list styles I personally like.

Poe, TLT, bandit

IG2000 + 2x TLT

Vader + Miniswarm

Double Pancakes

Decimator + Soontir

Triple Ace

Rebel Swarm

TIE swarm

Triple K-Wing

Corran + 2x TLT

Corran, Poe, Prototype

Brobots

Standings

Suddely le wild Paul appears!

He uses Skill!
It's super effective!

If Paul carries on like this it won't be long before he can build a 100 point squad comprised only of cards he's designed!!

What cards did he design the last two times ha won?

Something tells me we need to look at the waves that came into development after the end of the championship.

Like Autothrusters

Stay on Target is one. Not sure if we've even seen the second one yet.

Yes, but lots of TLTs overall. They have basically become the go-to filler ship.

Thankfully not that many 4Y it seems.

I'm kind of rooting for the triple k.

Played against it on vassal and it worked quite well.

I managed to kill 1 and almost the other.

Was a good game, you kind of forget about marinda ability when trying to get in that range 1 donut

He's definitely a good player

Go kinetic!!

I never got to watch, what is Paul flying?

As the Y-Wing should be. A reliable workhorse, backbone of Rebel as well as pirate fleets. Not as fancy as X-Wings or more exotic ships, but availiable and strong. TLT really isn't anywhere near as bad as any PWT.

I will also root for the triple K build, gives me an idea about what to do with mine!

I count 9 TLT

I count 8 Aces (Including Corran and Poe, but not including Miranda)

I count 2 swarms and 2 mini-swarm

I count 6 large based ships

That's not a lot, or rather, I don't consider it a damaging number of TLT's

The issue is not how many TLT's exist, it's how many ships do they invalidate, how big and how negative is their impact on the meta game.

Small sample size, but it looks healthy to me.

Above 2 TLTs in a list is damaging, imho.

I think what you really hate is lists that win.

No you've got it wrong. I hate REBELS. =D

Also, I kind of like TLT. I just don't like anything rebels. And I hide it in pancake vitriol.

Sorry to hear that Bob.

Looking at the standings, it sure seems like the cut to 16 is overly brutal, even bordering on random and unfair. So many people packed in at 30 points where the cut line is. If they'd cut to 32, everyone who had 30 points would be in, anyone below is out, with no need for tie-breakers. That seems a lot better to me than the alternative, and all to avoid playing 1 more game in elimination rounds.

anyone got a link/list of what the top squadrons are made up of? to see upgrade/ship combos, the k wing x3 list would be of interest

The Kx3 list was Miranda and two PS2s, all with TLT and Tactician. He's 2nd place I think?

Paul Heavers list is:

Poe w/ VI, Autothrusters and R2D2

Gold Y w/ TLT, Stressbot and Title

Gold Y w/ TLT

Bandit Z

It was Miranda Doni with 2 Warden Squadrons. Each ship had TLT and Tactician.

The idea is that at range 2 in arc you can **** things hard. While TLT is range 2-3 only, the K-Wings have PWT's that are 3 dice at range one. Plus Miranda shenanigans. SLAM can be used to better position your ship for further Tactician wrangling next turn.

List has a 1 point initiative bid, it really helped to force Corran to move first.

What happened in the streamed game was that Corran got double stressed by a Tactician (3 stress with PtL) and then was pretty much forced to do nothing but go straight and get Tacticianed again and again because the K's got behind him. It was beautiful.

Yeah the guy even gave up rounds of shooting to slam right behind Corran so that next round he'd be in range 2 for more stress fun

Was pretty brutal on Corran.
