Double Falcon Lists

By WAC47, in X-Wing

To start, I am ridiculously excited for Heroes of the Resistance. I've wanted to fly every single one of the new pilots included in the pack since I saw TFA, and I'm thinking that this was the most elegant way to introduce them to the game given the obvious constraints FFG was working under when releasing the TFA core set and associated expansion packs.

My only concern is what am I to do with two YT-1300 models? A lot will depend on the point cost of the Resistance _______, but it seems like it'll take some effort to squeeze two into a standard 100 point list. Given what's been spoiled already, can anyone think of good semi-competitive (maybe not top tier, but at least flyable) double falcon lists?

what do you do with two yt-1300 models?

sell the one you like the least

in all honesty, though, your time would be better spent waiting for the reveal of the new generic pilot. With access to illicits, he may make or break the mold for double yt-1300 lists

YES!

Thank you for starting this thread, because, yeah. We need some decent double Falcon lists.

I'm thankful that the points on these are low enough that you can double them up and squeeze in a couple upgrades. Really hoping we get some good ideas here.

MAYBE they will surprise us and the generic pilot will be as good as the Contracted Scout or something.

Pretty much Lando + choice of Falcon is the way to go with double Falcon lists.

it literally can't be

the yt-1300 is an old poorly designed ship from before when FFG started getting its **** together. It doesn't have the upgrade slot combinations to lend itself to varied and useful builds

most likely, it'll just be a morbidly expensive 3 dice PWT (or it'll break the game)

Rey — YT-1300 45

Veteran Instincts 1

Gunner 5

Tactician 2

Engine Upgrade 4

Millennium Falcon (TFA) 1

Ship Total: 58

Chewbacca — YT-1300 42

Ship Total: 42

I will fly this anyday

I hope they keep the stats with the PS3 pilot the same as the other YT-1300's. That really never made sense to me anyway :D In any case it could be a very good Sabine carrier with that SLAM action on a large base ship. Maybe with a couple of K's? otherwise, to stay on topic, it would be nice to see Chewbacca and Rey hitting it off in a double falcon list. Chewy has already proven his worth numerous times with minimal upgrades. Maybe one tank and one flexible one with the new title upgrade? lots of speculation, better wait till we have more info :) Oh the joy! Glad to see most people are excited instead of just angry and frustrated ;) it continues to be a fantastic game in so many different ways :D May the 4th be with all of you...

Give it an elite slot and make it cost max 25 pts (probably 23-24) and bam, marginally useful generic.

at ORS stats, yes; otherwise broke as ****

note that the compartment thingie is hinting towards "big K-wing" style generics, because you can Slam illicit and add another mod ala A-SLAM

problem with Sabine there is you only get 1 mine and no extra munitions, instead having to suffer through that crappy missile slot FFG stuck on as an afterthought when they first made the dang thing

"Old" Chewie w/C3PO, Draw Their Fire, and "Old" title

Rey w/New title and other stuff (at work so I don't have time to look up stuff)

Old Chewie provides the tanking, while Rey uses her mobility to smack stuff. Of course, this is all without a look at the possible new abilities of Han/Chewie, new crew, and new generic cost/stats. Still, should be most enjoyable to fly.

As the rules of uniques are concerned, you probably wont be able to use the "new" and "old" title in the same list.

Good point. I'd get rid of the new title then I guess.

Yeah, too bad they didn't add a torp slot. Several EU sources had torps installed at some point.

Most EU sources have concussion missile tubes installed. The only one I know of (although I'm not exactly an encyclopedia) that says it has torpedoes is Courtship of Princess Leia, which is so uniformly awful that I'm disinclined to take it seriously.

Paint! Paint the one you like the least!

Now that the new stuff is in the squad builders, here's what I came up with.

Chewbacca (52) - YT-1300

Predator (3), C-3PO (3), Engine Upgrade (4)

Rey (48) - YT-1300

Wired (1), Hera Syndulla (1), Millennium Falcon (1)

Rey can k-turn/sloop all day and reroll all the dice. Chewie does chewie things. Alternatively, you could put EU and Chopper on Rey for those times you really needed it.

Or put Chopper on Chewbacca, because it's a zero-point upgrade, you have a crew slot, and Chewie usually has health to spare.

Unfortunately, you can't really use Hera crew effectively with the new MF title, because you are not doing a red maneuver. You are doing a white and then if you are not stressed you may take one to turn around.

Whoops! How did I miss the "and if you're not stressed..." part? Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Ive been playing around with Rey/Ghost builds.
Im not sure why but they seem like a powerful pair if done right.

in all honesty, though, your time would be better spent waiting for the reveal of the new generic pilot. With access to illicits, he may make or break the mold for double yt-1300 lists

Ew no, TFA Falcon is cool, but 80's sattellite dish Falcon is Best Falcon (at least in looks, can't let go of that nostalgia). Best to keep both.

You take both Falcon models, toss them in the trash, and play a fun list with well designed game mechanics that reward skill.
