Kind of sad how everyone hates the G1As generics. Haven't had any good ideas for the findsmen, yet, but 3 of the 23 point guys with Tacticians with TLTorkil Mux look pretty strong. Good health, neat stress stacking, Torkils ability.

A Findsman with Boba Fett, Mist Hunter, Tractor Beam and Calculation is 28 points. I honestly can't fathom how this is supposed to be bad.

Sure, it won't do THAT much against triple aces, but it can still contribute control. Any low agility small ship that gets in the way can be put on asteroids, and at PS5 it shoots before most other generics, as well as arc dodge them with barrel rolls. With Boba and Calculation it has a reasonably good chance of landing a crit on an unshielded low agility ship, removing its most annoying upgrade (which in this meta means Palpatine or a TLT), and on top of all this, it's an 8 hit point ship that has the evade action.

Honestly, by far the worst pilot in Wave 8 is Zeb. His ability is nigh on useless, he doesn't have an EPT, and he competes with Ezra and Sabine at only 2-3 points more. He'll never ever see play. Likewise I don't see the generic Ghost pilot ever seeing play as long as Chopper is an option.

Zeb is only 18 points, that is something.

Just bought the g1-a

**** thing is huge for a small ship and it looks incredible

Might have to get two

Worst Pilot: Kanan Jarrus. Diminishing a single ship's attack with a focus seems... lackluster when flying a ship with 0 agility. Maybe I'm missing out on some combos.

His ability is actually stronger on a low (no) agility ship, since a dodgier one might cancel the die naturally. He's basically a weaker C-3PO.

I don't get how kanan is weak. His ability + r2 puts him on fat han levels of damage cancel. Recon enables multiple uses of for defense or saves a focus for offense. Stack an open system slot and presto

He is, however, the least interesting pilot in the world. With all the crazy **** the ghost does, why settle for a fat ship?

He's a BRO to biggs. actually becoming a fortress for the moustached tank-troll

I did not realize he worked when other ships were defending. Much better than I had originally thought.

FCS, Jans Ors and Recon Spec on him might be real to help all your bros tank. Kanan is a bro, I guess.

Taking 2 recon specialists and making a list of 3 aces all shoot 1 fewer attack dice is beyond gross. Nothing about it is once per round (just 1x per ship) or only while defending, it's just take 3 focus and make Vader shoot like a hwk or soontir shoot like a tie fighter or even worse, both.

Zeb isn't nearly as bad as people say: It is an 18 point 3 attack Z-95 that is less likely to get one shot. If the Ghost/Phantom title thing works out in practice he is going to see quite a bit of use as the cheapest enabler.

For those saying Electronic Baffle is the worst upgrade, just know that on a Lambda, it's insane. Park it in the middle of the scrum, and pull a couple consecutive STOPS, and watch as whatever formation your opponent had crumbles instantly. Put on an Ion Projector or APL for good measure if you wish.

I like to call it "The Parking Lot".

You've even got four points left for a couple of Tacticians if you so desire.

The only problem I have with him as a cheap phantom carrier is that it means I can't use the crew. And if you're running accuracy corrector/autoblaster like I do, zeb crew is huge for making sure you get shots even if bumped.

Yeah, that's definitely the issue, IMO. Since the TLT doesn't really work with the Phantom, the best turret option seems to be Chopper ramming things with the Autoblaster, which needs Zeb to really work.

The one part I hate about this post is that it makes me want to buy a fourth Lambda, when I had previously though that three was enough.

I've been thinking of what else to put on my 4 Great White Baffalo to make the list crazy maneuverable. Never did I think of having them merely never move ever again. Brilliant I say!

I was thinking, however, of 1 Anxiety Ridden Baffalo with Mara Jade as a blocker, 1 Suicidal Baffalo with Vader for damage output, and 2 Ion Baffalos with Ion Cannons to help give the Baffalos more time to maneuver.

Either way, it looks like I'm buying two Mist Hunters.

This thread is a giant circlejerk of hearsay.

There has been some immediate, "easy" success on the Jumpmaster, & a few popular podcasts have said the mist hunter is overpriced. I get that it is fun to discuss & prognosticate, but these superlative, declarative statements are silly.

That being said, Valen Rudor seems like he could be strong. Pair him with Omega Leader and you can give a list with a high cost ship a tough time. Heck, throw in a Vessery for synergy & you have a fun list.

EDIT: Nevermind, read that wrong.

I see alot of fellow X-Wingers are picking the Misthunter has the worst expansion.... Zuckuss and 4-LOM crew on my YV-666 beg to differ.

it offers scum far more than the TAPs offers the empire

Was totally going to say the same thing as you two. 4LOM and Zuckuss crew are just nasty, nasty good. Even if the Misthunter does turn out to be "dead on arrival" (I don't think it is btw), those 2 cards alone make it an amazing purchase.

Just a guess, but I think Scum is probably the least played faction . Hopefully with the awesome upgrades wave 8 Scum ships offers the faction, more people will see just how great S & V is. I would even say wave 8 puts them on par with both Rebels and Imperials.
