If you were selected by a bald cigar puffing navy fella to go be the best of the best of the best of the best.....

What would you fly to Miramar?

I`m torn between....royal guard interceptor with all the tricks

TAP with fistful of procket

Tie advanced with the super computer

maybe go beefy and run a punisher......such a fun format. so many possibilities.

Also...everyone needs to have a cool callsign.

Red Vet w/ Pred, R2, and IA?

good one!

I think im going to do the soontir fel ultralight .(half the calories and all the flavor)

wich...is enough to squeeze in a procket isnt it?

Green squadron pilot

A wing test pilot

PTL

Outmaneuver

Prockets

Auto thrusters

A-Wing. Green Squadron. Title, Predator, Push the Limit, Proton Rockets, Autothrusters. Nothing quite like a 5-dice Procket shot modified by Predator and Focus, no? Alternately, drop PTL for Veteran Instincts and get a Shield Upgrade.

EDIT: forgot Prockets spend a focus, not a TL. in that case, the guy above me has the right idea.

Great minds think alike! Maybe since it's one on one could drop autothrusters for guidance chips?

you just need to HAVE a focus...it doesnt make you spend the focus to shoot it.

This is a low point format I would actually enjoy playing. Forcing non-Uniques makes it so that it's not just about having high pilot skill and boosting, or having to face something ridiculous and unkillable like Soontir Fel at 35 points or Poe.

You have a lot of options, even something like a Sigma or Shadow Squadron with an upgrade or two would be strong.

Might want to ban K-Wings though lol. A Warden with TLT and Intel Agent is 30 points. Seems a little too good for this format. But then again, only PS 2 and plenty of ships can have Autothrusters.

I say you try and make this a 2v2 or 3v3 format that way it doesn't devolve into just K-Turning repeatedly. It also seems much more fun with teamwork involved.

thats just it...a K wing...by itself......feels manageable .

actually, yeah...that would be a good fight...tlt tactician warden against the micro soontir...or as you said.... a phantom.

forcing non uniques is fun for this. I feel like the 30 point top gun meta in my area is going to be red vets with IA and r2d2...hmmm...

Black Sun Ace - 23

-Marksmanship - 3

-Inertial Dampeners - 1

-Experimental Interface - 3

Because Scum and Villainy are my people, I give you this joyous buzzkiller :

Hired Gun/Y-Wing : 20 points

~ BTL-A4 : 0 points

~ Unhinged Astromech : 1 point

~ Engine Upgrade : 4 points

~ Ion Cannon Turret : 5 points

30 points on the nose of shoot you dead!!

EDIT -

Ohh... And my call sign is Magnus.

It also prevents Lone Wolf from being super powerful if you stick with the 1v1 version.

Perhaps an exception can be made for Experimental Interface, but otherwise don't allow unique upgrades.

Well, I'd really like being able to put the finger up to any TLT users; a Warden K-Wing could pack in a TLT and Intelligence Agent; a Gold Squadron could pack TLT, Bomb Loadout, Extra Munitions, Prox Mines, R2; a Scum Y-Wing could do the same thing but with Overclocked R4 to get focus tokens for each TLT shot (and the Prox Mines would discourage donut-holing).

Though Gold Squadron + Dorsal Turret + R2-D2 would be fun too. Leaves enough points for Engine/Shield Upgrade or go bombs again.

Ignoring arc is a strong thing in one on one deals because it means you don't care about getting them in YOUR arc, just AVOIDING their arc.

I think I'd rather adapt this for a Grand Melee style game where there's 8 people to a table, and the last four move on to a winner-take-all final table.

Just to add some chili...

Grey Y wing, Ion Turret, R2D2. 29 pts

Gand Findsman with Predator and FCS? Though I'd love it if I could fit the title in too for those barrel rolls...

Alternatively, Tansarii Point Vet with title, Mangler, Crack Shot, and Stealth Device. Be the smallest guy carrying the biggest gun.

Predator would probably be better - that way you could Evade all day while still having dice modification for your gun, and maximize the chance of keeping your SD.

Love this format idea!

Royal guard ptl AT stealth

Now I'm torn on a calling.

Stick with the cheese home decor theme or play with the "royal guard tie" descriptor.

So far I'm between ...."lawn flamingo" and "sheevs' shiv"

Wait-a-minute....Elvis......king.....royal.....guard..

Hmmm

Hound dog?

Yes!!!

I love it as 2v2 or 3v3....

Feels more "Top Gun"y. As well....I mean....everyone needs a wingman

x7 Onyx. Should be pretty much unbeatable in this format.

Academy Pilot and an 18pt init bid!
