My 10 year old son is just joining our ranks, and I'm looking to start him off easy by providing a list that is Super easy to fly and that can still be reasonably good.

Dash Rendar

- Push the Limit

- C-3PO

- Outrider

- Heavy Laser Cannon

- Engine Upgrade

Horton Salm

- Twin Laser Turret

- R2-D2

- Engine Upgrade

The idea here is that he can fly them loosely but together, each covering the other's donut. Horton can keep up a bit using 2 greens and a boost to alter direction while regenerating shields, and Dash can create a lot of space with both large ship boost and barrel roll if someone gets inside range 1.

Thoughts?

3PO is tough to use on a 2400, He's much better suited on a 1 agility ship. The standard Kyle Katarn Dash is just as easy if not less confusing to use. Otherwise nice, fun, pretty easy to fly list.

Something I've been wondering about. Why is C-3PO easier to use on a 1 agility ship? Yes, easier to guess zero and be correct, but you'd be doing the same on a 2 agility ship wouldn't you?

Actually, with two dice, you're probably better off guessing 'one', statistically speaking of course....

Be sure he is aware that Dash's ability only works for activation, not combat. Also as another has said, probably best to replace 3po with Kyle, that way he doesnt have to consider his chances of rolling 1/2/0 evades and guessing correctly, plus Kyle give a focus, and you can't go wrong with free action.

If you wanted to make it pretty simple for him maybe consider using a Chew-Leebo build, 2 tanky turrets that can shoot everywhere can be pretty straightforward. Plus he doesnt have to worry so much about the donut hole, just fly n' shoot.

Hrm.

Which Chewy/Leebo? I've found a lot of them.

They are all pretty good, go with the one you like more. I personaly like: Chewy+C3PO+MF+Predator+Gunner & Leebo+Mangler+Outrider+Predator

This is the issue you have to make a decision. Whenever you are presented with a choice you have the chance to be wrong. It's one thing to gamble on a Falcon and guess one. You know you're playing the odds there. But guessing one on a 2400 means you could get none. Guessing 0 means you'll get at least one no matter what but your chances of getting at least one better than not anyway. It's not a bad play to have 3PO on a 2400 but I don't think it's gold like it is on a K or a 1300. Silver maybe, but not gold!

I guess I thought the ideal thing would be to guess 0 all the time so that in the even the dice screwed you, you could at least come up with 1 evade.
