I have two points on Miranda: Tactician or Advanced SLAM?

By MacchuWA, in X-Wing

Basically, see the title.

I want to fly Miranda with TLT, a Stresshog, Tarn Mison with R7 Astromech and a Bandit. All told, that's 98 points. Both two point upgrades have merit on Miranda: Tactician will potentially reinforce the Stresshog and make Mirandas two dice shots meaningful when she's regening (at Range 2 at least) whereas Advanced SLAM lets me take a TL after slamming away for future shots, increasing damage consistency.

Any thoughts on which might be more valuable?

If you don't have any mines in the list, the tactician strikes me as more valuable, simply because it gives the arc dodgers one more bad place to be.

Neither.
​Han Solo.

Or trade the TLT on the Stresshog for an Ion Cannon, and go with 3P0 on Miranda.

Dash rendar crew can work in a cute way with the TLT if you play your cards right

Also 2 points

Huh. Hadn't considered some of these other options.

No Tantive, so Han and 3PO are out, but definitely worth considering in future... Dash however is a very interesting possibility...

This isn't making the choice any easier you know! :P

I would go with tactician. Another way to deal stress to the Aces isn't going to hurt.

Find a point somewhere and give her RecSpec.

Of those two? Tactician.

Tactician. Once Long Range Scanners comes out you'll be starting every engagement with a TL and TL can be performed on turns when you're halfway across the board. LRS is free.

Tactician + LRS is what you want, OP. No wait, you want Dash Crewdar. Your attacks can't be obstructed as you orbit your 3 large obstacles and you can still fire on asteroids if you wanted to.

Advanced SLAM is only really useful with mines/Conners and ACTION crew like Leebo or Lando.

Jan Ors, Miranda is a tough ***** to kill when shes regenning 1, with an evade token and 1 die evade. And when shes not Jan Orsing herself she can Jan Ors Poe with Comm Relay.

Tactician

Went with Tactician, I feel like it was the right call, but also like that crew slot is pretty much the only place I can tweak in the list. Everything else is pretty necessary, do I'm looking forward to trying Dash, Han, all those. :)

Tactician is good, but I don't try to make it happen. If the stars align, hell yes, but otherwise play it normal.
