the wave 8 meta and regionals

By TheOz, in X-Wing

Hello fellow x-wingers! I am so excited to see some fresh lists out of wave 8 and how it's gonna effect the meta. What lists do you all see as possible new competitive squads.

Let's push our brains a little on this one and try to answer with full list ideas, not just "scouts" or just your personal build out for the ghost, but full thought out lists. Also feel free to express what ships your looking forward to possibly leaving the meta or joining it, and we'll I guess just any thougts, regionals is coming so I'm excited to see what people want to run.

the simple answer is we have no clue

apart from "scouts" which have been doing fine on vassal

looking foward to pre-vet bombers, though, as I've never thought I'd find a use for the freaking gamma squadron pilot

Inq (ptl, thrusters, tie/v1)

2 Gammas (homing missile, munitions, seismics, g-chips)

Black Squadron (crackshot)

bunch of ps 4s for scouts and TLTs

I want very much to make the g1-a cool, because it'll be an underdog for sure, but idk

Xizor (vi, virago, fcs, thrusters)

Zuckuss (vi, dengar, title + beams) - or VI + FCS + cloak

2 Blacksun soldiers (Feedback)

no idea how Zuckuss'll perform

or

Xizor (vi, virago, fcs, thrusters)

Freelancer (Dengar)

Freelancer (fcs)

Pirate

PS tie with scouts packing big bombads makes me cringe, though

I was going to run that list this weekend Fickle in a SC. I'll let you know how I get on.

I might be dropping the bombs though for a Procket on the Inquisitor. Not sure yet. I'm thinking I want to make range 3 and 1 as horrible as possible for the enemy ship.
