Goodbye Soontir.

By darthkray, in X-Wing

It was fun while it lasted. :,,,,( stupid TLT's

Good riddance.

I don't think TLTs would have much to do with Soontirs demise. It is R3-A2 and I love it.

if you can do anything other than pray for good green dice on soontir, you can outfly TLTs

Let me comment this game in this way ...

I love Stress-up build of Y-wing.

It's so nice tech!

That's weird. I find Soontir to be one of the better performing ships against TLTs.

He's actually quite good at avoiding their fire if you don't fly into a spot where you have, like, 4 shooting at you at once.

Autothrusters works on ALL those incoming shots provided you stay out of their front arc, and staying out of the front arc of Y-Wings is pretty **** easy.

One Soontir list made top 4, a Jax list made top 8, and a Fel + Jax list made top 16. Chances are good that they faced a few TLTs on the way there. I think your "goodbye" to ace Interceptors is a little bit preemptive.

Ya. I really hope to be able to track down vidoes of those Palp+aces games to see what went wrong. I was pretty confident in one of them making the final table.

Spoiler alert: it wasn't soonts and it wasn't palpie

AT & Wired Tycho does even better.

Well, one of them went wrong when Paul Heaver startedd setting up on the other side of the table.

The problem is that you are still reliant on green dice not failing you against multiple attacks. Green dice are evil, hateful little things. Pheaver's list "only" has 2 TLT's, but that's still 4 attacks to dodge after dodging Poe's nearly guaranteed 3 hits, and Emperor help you if you end up getting hit by the Stressbot in the process. Nasty list is nasty.

I'm excited to try a K-wing with TLT and tactician. If I'm not mistaken that's two stress and range two from any angle.

I mean, yeah. If you let ALL of your enemies ships shoot you in the same round, you're going to lose Fel.

I'm not going to give total credit to the opponent's list building though in that instance.

ah, the sky is falling.. once again.

nothing to see here, move along.. *waves the crowd through, and don't feed..*

Come on. That's like saying that M-3A Interceptors are underpowered because we didn't see any of them in top 16 ... :huh:

Yes. Green dice. Ugh.

Yes. Green dice. Ugh.

I don't know ... Nathan's A-wing seemed to put in a lot of work.

Soontir looks fine to me. This thread however....

After loosing 4 times in a row with him on my team. It's just frustrating. TLT's everywhere I play.

They bring four tlt y-wings you take four AC advanced, that's the Chicago way.

Where is that beam coming from? I sense a JFK like conspiracy forming.

There's always going to be a place for a 30ish point ace that can singlehandely solo some lists and can mount 100pt come backs. He'll be fine, it's all the other interceptors (even Jax a bit) that I'm worried about.

Try out this build and any TLT player is going to start rage mode.

Seriously, Fel, Autothrusters and System Jammer are best counters for TLT.
