So Multiple G-1A's?

By Baak, in X-Wing

I'm in doubt: should I get more than one G-1A Misthunter?

How viable will it be to field multiple (generics) of them? Will they be as popular as the B-wing fielding multiples like BBBBZ?

Im curious to what kind of builds you guys can think of with the G-1A and if those lists contain more than one G-1A :)

Personally, I will only be buying one. I think the named pilots are your best bet. Time will tell but the addition of barrel roll and tractor beam is awfully good for one point. 4-LOM and Zuckuss work great as a pair on the same ship. All signs point to a single G1-A as part of some mixed Scum list... Which is awesome if you ask me.

Now I just need Imp Vets so I can get a few more tractor beam cards.

If the meta shifts, possibly. Right now, though, I think it'll see more use as a toolkit, similar to the TIE Bomber/Shuttle. Crew, system, possibly EPT, disruptive pilot ability and Tractor Beam, makes it more useful as a ship you put whatever combination of upgrades you think will best help the rest of your squad on.

I was just thinking today about G-1A and Bwings, same stats, similar dial. But unfortunately you cant squeeze 4 and z as they are 23 points.

BUT you can squeeze 4 with outlaw techs. Bigger PS, and free focus after reds. I say its worth a try.

can't see myself using more than 2

Xizor (vi, virago, fcs, thrusters) [37]

Freelancer (Dengar) [26]

Freelancer (FCS) [25]

Bloody Pirate [12]

honestly, though, I think the named pilots are more fun. Not necessarily more competitive, mind, but definitely more fun

I'm just kinda bored of jousters in general, I think. While the named pilots aren't much better than jousters themselves, their squishiness and unique capabilities force you to deploy them as flankers and make your maneuvers matter a lot when it comes to their overall usefulness

YES!!!

2x Freelancer+FCS

2x Black Sun Enforcer

This list is durable and can bring the pain!

or

Freelancer+FCS

Freelancer+Title+Tractor+IA

2x Black Sun Enforcer

Control and three of your ships potentially gain Wedge like attack powers!

Fixed that for ya.

I think the toolkit named pilot option has a lot of potential... definitely for fun maybe even competitively. Personally I can't wait to fly 2 Ruthless Freelancers with Advs and Outlaw. red K-turn or 1 turn plus focus and evade? sign me up! :D I think the evade and PS3 makes them still possible options against any other generics with PS2 out there. but time will tell if they are also competitive. Definitely a fun option for the scum faction ;)

Gands Findsman + Tactician + Sensor Jammer + Juke x3

Looks like a solid list that might not die if you stress most people beyond the use of focus. I have been trying to make 4-lom work in lists but he's too flimsy for clocking in at 30 - 35 points.

Son of a ^%$^$! C'mon FFG! Give me a coupld Tractor Beams somewhere please!

you get a couple of tractor beams with the purchase of a couple of g-1as

I like that idea! with the defensive capability and their natural health it might be a tough nut to crack. plus the offensive boost with Juke... could be interesting :)

Or a couple of Imperial veterans, to get enough titles for triple defenders!

can't say no to triple defenders!

Will it be fun to have more? If the answer is yes, then get more.

I'm getting another one.

Without hashing out the "false advertising" gripe (which has a lovely thread of its own ... please visit there if you wish to take up the topic), I was really miffed that Mist Hunter turned out to only deliver one Tractor Beam card, as I was eagerly awaiting the triple-TB-Defender list.

Then I realized, to do that, I'd have to buy two Imp Vet packages anyway, to get more than 2 title cards. At which point I would then have 4 defenders. Any way you cut it, that dreamy triple-TB list is going to be expensive!

But back on topic, having now handled the physical model of the G-1A for myself, I think just aesthetically, I'd really like to have multiple.

Especially if I can make Expose Zuckuss (pilot) work to get that sweet 6-dice R1 shot! Pair him with a cheaper G-1A with the title/Tractor Beam, and Serissu with Swarm Tactics, and maybe the other TB, to let Zuckuss shoot last with 6 dice against a double-TB-tokened enemy ... whoa, this stream of consciousness build is on to something!

Such delicious shenanigans...

I bought two. I don't know why, I know they aren't going to be setting the meta on fire. There aren't a lot of TLTs at my local shop so I will probably get some use out of them. I like Scum, I want lots of Scum, I am looking forward to a Scum epic ship and the G1-As will probably be good or decent in epic.

I know why

it's K-wing syndrome, they just have no right to be as beautiful as they are

even Xizor can't get enough

Expose Zuckuss? Dang, I want some of that action. Pair him with Latts to remove an agility die and Serissu with Tractor Beam to remove another agility die? I haven't checked any points on this but it sounds like a terrifying combination on paper.

I will be buying two copies of Imp Vets and giving away one of the Defenders with the 4th set of Titles. But then I end up with three copies of Tractor Beam. Odd numbers make my brain itch.

I'm wondering if they might be a viable counter to the Triple Jumpmaster build. They match them in pilot skill, and you have a pretty good shot at a 1:1 trade during a simultaneous fire volley. Once the torpedoes have been spent, I'd take their statline over the Jumpmaster's 2-dice turret any day.

I'm in doubt: should I get more than one G-1A Misthunter?

An OK dial, but I think the lack of barrel roll makes them far less appealing than the B-wing.

Why not pair the Ghost with Jan and have a 6 attack, 0 evade ship that is shitting on 10 hull
