Is there a ship you must play with always?

By Fuzzywookie, in X-Wing

For Rebels, Corran, he is the only rebel I enjoy flying besides Awings. and obviously Baron Soontir Fel! also, I like Vader.

Corran, though because he's so expensive to field, I can't say he's a must have. l like Ten Numb and Maranda Doni, I suppose it just depends on whom I'm playing against.

I seem to bouncing between pilots all the time but there are a few ships I tend to bring to the table often.

Imperial: TIE Bomber - Yeah, not very good but I love the look of the ship. Hopefully it will get a lot better with the Imperial Veterans Pack. I've been tempted to get more so I could field an entire squad of nothing but TIE Bombers.

Rebel: Y-Wing - Once again it is about the looks. I've been in love with this ship since I first saw Episode IV as a kid.

Fringe: Z-95 Headhunter - For some reason I'm not a fan of swarm squads unless I am playing Fringe and using these ships.

It will be hard to avoid omega leader in the future. just need a FAQ on his ability.

Blue Squadron Pilot

I havent played a game that hasnt had Poe in my list since the TFA Core Set dropped in September. And now that the T-70 blisters are out, my favorite list to fly is Poe/Ello/Red Squad Vet.

So, i'm kind of already doing this.

All of my lists will have TIE fighters or a shuttle.

A reasonable amount of them have both.

I'm surprised nobody yet has mentioned Poe.

You were the 4th post, so you were either a little too early or early enough that you made the reference yourself.

I will always have at least one T-65 in my tournament squad. Always.

I am trying to have Vader with VI and maybe engine upgrade in every list. My dream would be a list with Vader, Vessery, and an (ace) phantom...

A-wings. I can't help myself.

Jake, Corran and a Green Sqdn.

2 Greens and 2 Blues (my Battle of Endor squad)

Jake, Gemmer and 2 Blues (my other, better, Battle of Endor squad)

Tycho, Jake, Arvel and Gemmer because you can fly all four aces together.

So I've put my Rebels down and I'm focusing on Imperials, you know, TIE Fighters, Interceptors, A-wings.

Not really, but Vessery, Fel, Alozen and Dark Curse have a way of ending up in my lists. Can barely remember the last time I didn't run at least one of them.

POE DAMERON.

Yeah...

No.

Not really. As long as everything is TIEs, I don't really get more specific than that.

How to make a competitive rebel list by Hondo:

1) Choose two of the following: Poe/Miranda/Corran

2) Check if you have enough points for R3A2

3) Check again

4) If not, add a prototype or a z-95

5) 1 point left? Give Poe r2d2 instead of the other droid

6) 2 points left? Tactician

7) 3 points? Tactician and bid

8) Watch as your opponent's palms sweat in frustration. Thank him for the game after your 20th win in a row.

For rebels; Gold sq Y-wing with r2 astromech and ion cannon turret. I just love the Y wing,

For imperials not so much, But really like vader and/or a scimitar squadron pilot. Or when playing interceptors, soontir fell or turr phennir.

Don't play scum so nothing there.

I'll fly whatever, but my wife isn't having fun with a list unless it's got soontir, Jake, or Vader in it; she simply flat out prefers having that kind of positional gameplay available.

Needless to say, the popemobile trio has proven... Popular. ;)

Depends. I have ships that I love for the aesthetics (Interceptor, Kihraxz) and abilities I like (Aggressors, Scum Firesprays). Overall, I've included the Baron the most in my lists because he hits every like for me- good fluff, ability, ship, and he's just fun to play.

Scum Kath Scarlet. I always fly Kath Scarlet

Tie Interceptors are my must-include for an Imperial list.

YT-2400. My favorite ship!

I usually start with something people say sucks and then build a list around it.

Other than that, no. I try to avoid too much of the same thing. It gets too old that way.

Empire i normaly build around vader

Rebel i love poe right now

Scum i love Kath
