Until yesterday I had not used the k-wing so I decided to give it a shot. As I was considering what to use I realized it has a crew slot. I don't remember reading about anyone putting C-3PO on a k-wing so so thought I would give it a shot. With 9 hits it seemed like a fun idea to make a mini fat fatty ship. My final design was Miranda+C3PO+TLT for 38 points. I wanted to make sure I could try to land both TLT consistently so I ran Dutch+TLT next to Miranda.

My opponent was running a decimator and he threw in some low level phantoms with it. Boy did that C-3PO pay off! I bet Miranda took 16+ or hits! I was able to consistently hit the decimator so that allowed me to regen one shield a turn and evade with C-3PO. He took so much time focusing on Miranda that the rest of my squad just flew TLT circles around him for a death of a million cuts. I am not sure how tournament viable that could be but it was fun to experiment with something that worked so well.

Not to burst your bubble but it has been discussed. Miranda with 3P0 is borderline cheating. Really freaking good.

as above

c3po Miranda is easy money and an amazing carry against anything at a lower PS

against a higher PS, she's basically the only thing with a TLT that can threaten any damage at range 1. You better focus anything PS 9 down first and hard; Miranda can deal with anything lower

Easy money indeed! It was impressive, most impressive.

Then again luring a high PS target into range 1 and blasting it with 4 dice is absolutely hilarious.

Your topic header sounds like a really weird dirty movie. Maybe it could do with an undeheader to clarify nothing of that sort is intented:

Experimenting with Mini fat fatties

And Mirandas tlts

edit 3. No, that's not... darn

Miranda doesn't have a donut hole, she has a range 1 four dice wtf death pie.

I mean, yes get into range 1 of Miranda... there's pie!

Miranda's range 1 is actually really bad relative to other range 1s

she hurts herself to do normal damage and can't regen without doing crap damage

but it's better than your normal 2-dice turret and can come as a nasty bit of denial if you set up a TL before-hand

use it sparingly and use it well

that's the idea

Miranda´s crew slot has a number of good options in my opinion. C3P0 for durability, recon specialist for a focus on each TLT shot, tactician for double stress etc. A fun ship to build around.
