What is your favorite ship to fly?

By 4fox100, in X-Wing

Y-Wing has always been one of my favourites and once Scum come out I was hooked all over again! Kavil in particular.

YV-666 is massively underrated. Used properly it's a beast.

Tie Interceptor is a little overpowered but so much fun to fly.

Honourable mentions to Punisher, Kihraxz & Firespray.

What do you consider proper use of the YV-666? As cheap as possible? ~50 points of Bossk?

Properly was maybe the wrong word. "Used well within your gameplan" is probably better. As long as you plan around its limitations it's strong.

Personally I like 2 Slavers with Mangler, K4, Outlaw Tech, Gunner, Engine Upgrade & Feedback Array. Keep them close-ish together, overlapping arcs and don't be afraid to do a full stop and Feedback if people are behind you. Tricky to use but it's better than it sounds. ;)

50 points of Bossk is great fun. Calculation, Mangler, Outlaw & K4. 45 points of awesome. :D

Here you can find my current "properly used" YV-666, is working very well for me.

Cool. That's a nice list. I'm just glad to see the YV-666 getting some love!

Today I made a tweak to this list, instead of Guri, I added Boba+VI+Glitt and downgraded Latts for Trandoshan. It shredded Palpmobile+Vader+Carnor, the semifinalist list from Worlds.

Here Boba don't need EU because is the enemy who approachs your ships. Block Boba with the trandoshan and release him when the enemy comes at R1. Here, VI on Boba is pure gold against PS9, and two large ships on your path makes the k-turning more difficult, while you don't need it.

3 way tie for favorite

Hound's Tooth, Y-Wing and the Kihraxz

I am a huge Boosk fan so I icked the Hound's Tooth up and fell in love with flying it right away

the Y-Wing has been my favorite since I was a small boy watching Star Wars in the theatre (you guys may know it better as Episode 4: A New Hope) I was not disappointed

I found the Kihraxz while trying to find scum ships for my fleet and holy wow is she fun...

I am not just referring to Kavil and Talonbane, but all the pilots, these 3 ships are the mainstay of my fleet

My favorite ship always has been/will be the falcon

Rebels: T-70, with K-wing as a runner up. I suspect I might really like the VCX-100 when it comes out.

Imperials: TIE Advanced, TIE/FO and TIE Defender, it's hard to pick, leaning towards the Advanced (at least until Imperial Veterans comes out). Heck the only ship I don't usually fly here is the Firespray, and I'm sure that just because the Scum ones are so much better (and Gozanti, don't have one yet).

Scum: This one is harder, Y-wing I guess, but runners up are Firespray, HWK, YV-666, I really wanted to like the Starviper, but it's just been nuked on turn 3 too many times for me. I suspect the Jumpmaster will be my new favorite when it comes out.

Overall: T-70, just something about that X-wing. Really I like flying almost everything, which is good I guess, just makes it hard to pick a list. :)

Favorite ship to fly is a hard question for me.

Empire: I love my decimator and interceptors but I am not skilled with either.

Rebel: Awings are my favorite but hit like wet noodles.

Scum: Not really a fan

1. Classic TIE Fighter. Generics are pawns with a fun dial. Most the named pilots have good abilities that reward positioning.

2. Post-Nerf Phantom. Its an intense game of cat and mouse. Tension goes up the lower your PS.

3. BTL Y-Wing. Serious challenge to maintain arc. So satisfying when you do.
