Galactic Holonet!

So we've been wanting to add to our Twitch presence at twitch.tv/scumandvillainypodcast. We were approached by BlairBunke with the idea that he would like to do an educational show for xwingers looking to go in depth on how to play certain lists versus the various archetypes in the meta. Blair is looking to do this Thursdays at 6pm Pacific time.

As BlairBunke loves Scruffy from Futurama we decided he was our Janitor. That made it easy to name the show...

We present:

The Boiler Room

Blair's Blurb

"Welcome everyone and thank you for tuning in to this Scum and Villainy Podcast production. I am your host BlairBunke. This is a brand new venture that the S&V guys are allowing me to put on for yall. We're going to try to make it a weekly show which will consist of a couple of segments.
First segment is we're typically gonna look at a list that either I or my guest has been flying lately and talk about the strengths and weaknesses of it and then we'll put it on the table and go over how it handles against certain archtypes.
Then for the second part of the show we'll usually look at a replay of a match that has happened lately and just do a recap of it, what we thought the key moments and good and bad plays each player made. Throughout the show we'll be keeping an eye on the Twitch chat and try to answer any questions any of yall might have.
Then at the end of the show if anyone has any general questions about anything related to the game we'll answer those for you the best we can."
The first episode will be tomorrow featuring a Patreon of the Podcast: Grayfax.
We're really excited to announce this and can't wait to see what Blair has to teach us.

That's exactly why we do that.

Blair is starting with 5 ship Rebel. But what list types would you like to see covered?

I'm a big fan of this idea! I'd love to see some episodes focused on ships/pilots that are hard or risky to fly, like Corran, Echo, Tie Defenders, etc.

I want to see him cover 4x Cartel Marauder + Cloaking Device + Hull

...just to see him weave through that mess of a list.

Any of the Wave VIII Scum stuff. Trying to come up with ideas and feeling overwhelmed by the new possibilities.

This!

Too bad cloaking device is unique!

I want to see someone other than me Fly my

Kagi

SJ

Palp Tractor

Jax PTL AT SD

OL Juke Comms

list :D

a play on imperial Ace-holes and palp aces made to screw with target priority with maximum annoyance.

(althought been considering dropping SD on Jax for Targetting computer. for 99 points.

or as i'm calling it my F.O.O. (Future Ordnance Overlord) Fighters list. if you see a decline in TLT's you can just as easily switch to Reinforced Deflectors

I really like this. It's a nice variation.

OK.....I listened to Scum & Villainy right before listening to yours and they are blending a little in my mind, but.....I think it was on your podcast that I heard something I wanted to comment on. Forgive me if I'm wrong.

One of you guys (still not the best on remembering names) stated that the Misthunter is coming in at a time of arc dodgers when it's the Scum B-wing. It's dead on delivery as you will never see more than 2 in a competitive list. So.....why do you have to have more than 1 of the same ship to be competitive? Yes, it's true that most tournament people find some efficiency and spam the hell out of it. BBBBZ or 4 x TLT as prime examples. Look at Paul Heaver's lists, though. They tend to have a few different types of ships. The last was Poe, 2 x TLT (w/ stressbot), and a Z. That's not spamming the same ship a lot. Why can't you use one named Misthunter in a list with a bunch of other ships that just might have the synergy to work? Why is it only good if you can spam a whole list of one ship type? When you do that, you end up with multiplying the weakness of that ship as well as it's efficiency.

Any word on when the videos will hit youtube? I am unable to view them on twitch.

Blair was having to work on re-doing the audio... the broadcasting software was not recording his microphone, so he was having to re-record it all. He was planning to do some of it this weekend, but who knows how long that might take or if it will be better to just re-do the first episode...

it was a rough first episode, but given time i'm sure all the issues will be ironed out and you guys will be able to pull it through :D

Ha! I'm not one of "you guys"... I just was lucky enough to be on the first episode. To be honest, I got a LOT out of the episode... I just felt bad that no one else was hearing all the wisdom!

We're gonna work those kinks out. Blair is super knowledgeable though. It'll be very useful.
