Hi everyone!

I'm about to have my first (non demo) game of xwing this weekend! I did a fair bit of reading here and on the wiki, but I'd be thankful for any tips you might have.

So far I own a Hounds Tooth and a Star Viper, picked based on aesthetics and the usefulness of the included upgrades. Point value won't really matter for my upcoming game, we usually just go by whatever fits for both sides.

So I was thinking of something like:

Star Viper (37): Guri, Virago title, lone wolf, inertial dampeners and accuracy corrector

Houndstooth (49): Latts Razzi, Bossk, Outlaw Technician and K4 Security Droid, Glitterstim and HLC

The other cards from the packs are: ion torpedoes, hull upgrade, auto thrusters,bodyguard, ion projector, calculation, stay on target, crack shot, engine upgrade and wing thrusters.

Thank you for any input!

Yeah, just those two ships is tough, but you have some decent options to choose from

For Guri: lone wolf + autothrusters is not bad at all, but its very hard to fly effectively and if you are new to the game you will probably have difficulty getting the most out of it (because there's a lot to remember in this game and if you forget to keep her far enough away from allies, lone wolf becomes useless). You might want to consider calculation on her in this case, simply because it will be easier for you to fly.

Accuracy corrector is not great on her. Spending 4 points to get its questionable benefit makes it even more iffy on her. If there is a way to borrow or proxy, sensor jammer is really great on Guri.

Latts Razzi I think is not the best pilot for a 2 ship build, although can still work. Honestly though, that build you have there would be perfect for Eval Moralo. You DEFINITELY want engine upgrade on the YV-666 though. Never leave the docking bay without it! So I would suggest going exactly with what you have, plus Engine but take Eval instead of Latts.

Good luck and welcome to the game!

Wow, thank you blade for the insightful reply!

Great suggestion with Eval Moralo, I'll definitely do that! And give it Engine Upgrade, too!

I also had a look where sensor jammers can be found, and it's only with the Lambda... OK I'm not THAT into X-Wing yet

You said at the beginning how two ships are a bit few - what would you recommend to add to a YV666 and the Star Viper?

Thanks again! I'll also consider swapping Lone Wolf with Calculation, you're right it does seem easier to use.

Ahh, I remember those long past more innocent times.

Haha! No really, I think the Houndstooth looks great!
