The meta is such that you can still try hard netlist your way to the top, but now so many more things are viable than the previous phantom/fat turret/dual aggressor meta that I don't really think it's that much of a negative. If someone is flying the Danger Zone list they netlisted against a 6x Crackshot netlist or baby's first Lego snap together Poe + Miranda list, okay. It's only tedious and annoying when it's the same handful of ships.

At last year's regionals, my FLGS had 63 players; there were about 15 identical Super Dash + Corran builds, and maybe half again traditional 'Fat Han' builds. Most of them did not make the cut-off, and were distributed throughout the final results table.

Copying "the" lists will only get you so far. You still have to know how to plan, fly, take the right actions etc. More often than not I've seen players bring the lists they see the best players field, and they still lose.

Well if everyone is running the same list /someone/ has to not make the cut.

I know people that try to joust using super Dash - a basic understanding of the game is required to come out on top.

Being noob to the core is not an excuse, I'm afraid.

Someone without basic understanding and ability to learn will play bad every time.

But some lists forgive and forget.

In arms of a skilled player they are even more deadly. For they forgive not the mistakes, but dice failures as well.

Imo copying someone's list to see how it works is fine. You might even like flying it. What i don't like is when somebody flies something because it will let them win. Fly ships you like. Have fun. If the list you like happens to be a 'netlist' i see no problem. Instead of complaining about them, adapt and ouyfly them.

Hi.

Every list has been done allready.

Carry on.

I can confirm this, I came up with a list, and another guy had almost the exact same one.
