T-70 X-Wing with R5-P9 and Autothrusters, reporting for duty.

Everybody shame the power gamer! *looks for his bell*

I see a Furball tournament, and I show up with Regen, or Rebel Captive.

I WILL survive to the end-game at full health, tyvm.

However, there is one more power upgrade that I hadn't considered above: Ion Cannon (with or without the Turret).

Nothing quite like saying "Hey guys, here's a tasty snack in the middle of the table for you!"

Gamma Squadron Veteran (29)

TIE Bomber (19), TIE Shuttle (0), Juke (2), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1), Ysanne Isard (4), Rebel Captive (3)

3 ideas,

Blue Squadron Pilot - Flechette Torpedoes - Flechette Torpedoes - Tractor Beam - ''Chopper'' - Fire-Control System - B-Wing/E2 (30)
Syndicate Thug - Bomb Loadout - Plasma Torpedoes - Seismic Charges - Twin Laser Turret - Unhinged Astromech - Guidance Chips - BTL-A4 Y-wing (30)

Delta Squadron Pilot - Twin Ion Engine Mk. II - TIE/x7 (29)

Don't go to Miramar without a wingman!

Black Sun Ace (x2)

Attanni Mindlink

Hot Shot

Thread Tracers

Munitions Failsafe (it does have a use now!)

58 pts with a 2pt initiative bid

I think the format is better with two ships (30pts max per ship), would keep Lone Wolf use down a bit and fits the type of training at Miramar. I would almost be more worried about Defenders with title than I would be of interceptors, but I do feel that this format would be more fun and bring a lot more diversity to the table.

Wont work. A mind link is like thinkng.

You dont have time to think up there. If you 'think,' you're dead.

Achievement " 80's ahoy!!" Earned

In a 1 v 1 format, I would run the following.

Gand Findsman

Veteran Instincts

Zuckuss crew

Fire Control System

Mist Hunter

Tractor Beam.

At PS7 you will be moving last, unless someone has put VI on a Royal Guard, which alows you to attempt to arc dodge with barrel roll. As it's 1 v 1, your FCS will mean you have a free TL every attack after the first, leaving you to evade if you can't arc dodge. Finally, Zuckuss will help you to deal with those 4 evade dice Imperials, and as you are getting a free TL, you can hopefully afford to be stressed for a turn.

Contracted Scout, PTL, Anti Pursuit lasers.

Small base good sir...small base. Nobody takes a B-52 to TOP GUN!

Thoughts on this one?

Black Sun Ace

Crackshot

Cluster Missiles

Feedback Array

Guidance Chips

A variation might be:

Black Sun Ace

Cluster Missiles

Guidance Chimps

Glitterstim

Cool Hand (in order to survive the turn after the glitterstim popping turn)

Cool Hand (in order to survive the turn after the glitterstim popping turn)

But Cool Hand is used when you receive the stress in the first place, which would be the same turn as the Glitterstim. Would give you an extra evade though.

And even though the Khiraxz isn't my favorite fighter I think it suits this format very well. Love that there are so many options at 30pts. Gonna be playing this a bit this week for fun (maybe as 2 30pt ships though).

3 words: Naked TIE Defender.

Royal Guard Pilot

-Veteran Instincts

-Hull Upgrade

-Shield Upgrade

30 points. PS 8 beats out all the homeboys who rely on Push the Limit, so I might still be able to arc dodge AND while you're stressed it'll be easy for me to K-turn and tail you until the end. How on earth I'll crack your Focus+Evade shell, I have no idea, but I'll figure something out.

Callsign: "Red Dawn". Blood has been spilt this night.

P.S. Confession. Even though I grew up less than 20 minutes from Miramar, and have even flown in a flight simulator on the base, I've never seen Top Gun.

Wait, Miramar is a real place? Here I was thinking it was some obscure EU planet.

Or an x7 running at PS3.

Because the only thing better than a naked TIE Defender is one with +2 PS and Evades when K-turning.

One small alteration I'd propose: if people want to run multiple ships of the same kind, I'd let them. A pair of Z-95s or TIEs could make for a lovely little list, and a way to see 'em on the table. You can even run a pair of TIE FO or Y-wings with this

FO and ProtoAs, but not Ywing, HWKS or Bombers.

I wish atanni mindlink didnt say friendly...i also wish the starviper was decent for this, but low ps, no ept, and a uniqe title is bad.

I would take a delta with x7 title and mk 2 engines. If kills matter in a furball format, being lower PS might help

There were already 2 bomber suggestions. One more, which could be fun, not sure if really competitive:

Gamma Sqd Vet

PTL

Twin Ion Engine (suddenly tons of greens to clear stress)

EM

Seismic charge

up to 3pts left for torp or missile of choice

"Not alone, I hope."

Rebel Operative, Dorsal Turret, Gunner, Engine Upgrade.

Callsign: Condor

Wanna keep em away if they get close. Punish em, even. Taking a trusted buddy who can man my guns while I focus on pushing the most I can out of my ship, my baby. It's a pretty scary situation, I'm not at the top of my game and I'm not sure where I am. Otherwise I'd be up there around 7, but I'm down to 2. But I got my buddy with me, so I'm okay.

Curse my autocorrect. I meant A-wings, yes. (Y-wings and HWKs can pile on plenty of upgrades anyway, of course.)
