Just curious.
If you had to do an Epic game with only small ships which ships would you use?
As many Tie punishers, Defenders and Tie/Fo's that I could.

Edited by Krynn007Etahn A'baht's in there somewhere. After that, not sure.
I always imagine epic games as being thematic, so for that reason I would stick purely to TIE Interceptors and Lambda Class Shuttles.

No, it's not competitive at all, but **** I would love to see it on a table. Set up the Shuttles all in different areas each with 2x RGP escort. It would be beautiful.
All four IG-88s with IG-2000 titles. So many abilities! Probably round out my squad with Boba and Kath. Bounty hunters for the win!

Rexler Brath is THE MAN in epic!
Bodies. Lots of bodies. Bodies that can joust, that can block, that can cover eachothers blindspots. Bodies with health to take a hit or 3, with 2 or more evade dice to migrate the 2 dice swarm style ships. With 3 attack, so that with enough arcs on a target it can burn any ace down, regardless of the amount of green dice. Cheap, to swell the ranks of my army and still have room for Ehtan.
I need... X-Wings.
B-Wings, HLC, FCS. A lot of them. Probably supplemented by headhunter swarm/blockers and few K-Wing/Y-Wing minelayers.
You ask this question as if all my epic lists aren't just 300 points of generic TIE variants.
5 Alpha Squadrons with 5 Autothrusters.
3 Defenders with some upgrades.
8 TIE Fighters.
There you go.

Groan! HLC B-wings with FCS give me fits in Epic play. I wonder what the most effective way to launch LOADS of Adv. Homing Missiles is...
Epic rules don't allow you to have more than 12 of any small based ship.25 Academy Pilots

They do as far as upgrades and pilot abilities are concerned.
