Once Veterans is Finally here what are you thinking of running?

By KrisSherriff, in X-Wing

I have a video covering the Wave 4 Special I am thinking of bringing out once Veterans hits but what are you guys running?

Kris

Ya I'm thinking of running all right.

Vessery, OL, Inquisitor.

Which I have dubbed my H8ful Eights. Because pilot skill.

Vessery VI, TB, D, Mark II

Inquisitor PTL, Rockets, AT, Title

Gamma Vet Crack Shot, LRS, Homming M, Extra

Vessery VI, Ion, D, Hull

Inquisitor PTL, AT, Title

Omega L Juke, Relay

For stater

So many things.

I am currently enamored by

Delta/Ion/D

Delta/Ion/D

Ryad/Lone Wolf/x7

and

Rexler Brath/Ion/D/Lone Wolf/Hull Upgrade

Maarek Stele/Ion/D/Predator

Wampa

I have so many lists I want to try, but I'm willing to bet the first thing I will run is out of money! Thanks FFG :)

Double Delta/D w/ion and /x7 Ryad was where I was going too, albeit with Juke over Lone Wolf... though now you've got me thinking...

Also considering being an arse and running just three Delta/Ds with Ions and Tractor, pilot skill be damned.

TIE Bomber: •Tomax Bren (32)

Guidance Chips (0)

Crack Shot (1)

Extra Munitions (2)

Homing Missiles (5)

TIE/FO Fighter: •"Omega Leader" (26)

Juke (2)

Comm Relay (3)

TIE Punisher: •"Redline" (40)

Guidance Chips (0)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Extra Munitions (2)

Ion Torpedoes (5)

Fire Control System (2)

Total: 98/100

Whichever one you go for your screwed

I had a ton of fun last night with:

Delta/x7

Delta/x7

Rexler Brath/xD/Ion/Predator/Twin Ion Engine

I also swapped out Brath for Maarek to add TIE engines to both Deltas. Also tried the Deltas with Vader and Soontir, respectively. It's all good. Those x7 Deltas are money.

Inquisitor (PTL, V1, Autothrusters)

Ryad (PTL, X/7, Engine)

OGP (Palp)

2x Glaive, x7, predator

1x lambda, palp, baffles

Inquisitor, ptl, at, v1, prockets

Countess, lw, x7

Lambda, palp, baffles

2x Glaive, predator, x7

1x Tomax, crackshot, plasma torp, extra munis, chimps

4x gamma vets, deadeye, chimps, munis, plasma torps

Something with scimitar shuttles and tactician

Something with a Vader scimitar bomber

3x delta, ion, /d

I'm excited if that wasn't clear

Defenders.

I'm so excited to get the new Defender, I totally forgot Vets comes with a tie-bomber as well :P

I want to run two Tie D's with Fel. Or two x7's with a phantom.

because we'll be swimming in Defenders over in "Empire City", and I hate mirror matches <_<

to be less of a bastard, though, I think by far my favorite thing out of the sets are (in no particular order)

1.) x7 + Juke

(because I've found Juke amazing but too irritating to use unless you get the evade independent of actions, which only relay FOs and x7 Defenders do. I love Juke; hate green dice. More juke is more fun)

2.) Freaking Vessery

(either x7 Juke or some flavor of Tie/D; honestly he's the one defender I'd run with Tie/D. Not enough modifiers otherwise)

3.) conner net Deathfire McGibbs

(winner of the silliest name award carrying my favorite bombs; hopefully being quite effective with them for surprisingly very cheap. Extras + conners brings him to 23, which is a Warden K-wing naked)

some things I'm not excited for, though, namely Mareek Steele (gotta jump through hopes for that ability) and Tie Shuttle (urgh janky synergy)

Tie Shuttle (urgh janky synergy)

But things like 19 points for a Vader boat or 18 points for a relatively agile tactician platform isn't any variety of janky synergy...

Deathfire. Lots and Lots of Deathfire.

Tie Shuttle (urgh janky synergy)

But things like 19 points for a Vader boat or 18 points for a relatively agile tactician platform isn't any variety of janky synergy...

or a laughable 100 point X5 swarm of bombers Tactician + systems Officer.... laughable in terms of both damage done, and cost to run.

I realize this list isn't competitive, but I've been enjoying it on squad benchmark:

Ryad, x7, VI

Vessery, x7, adaptability

Stele, x7

Lucky 7's :D

TRIPLE D

Ryad+TIE/D+Tractor+PTL+Mk.II

2x Onyx+X7

These Ds cannot be contained! :D

I'm gonna be running this a lot:

34 Inquisitor w/ PtL, PRockets, AT, V1.

26 Omega Leader w/ Juke, Comms.

39 Vessery w/ VI, IonC, TIE/D.

Been running a HLC version that's been doing great, and this is an even better list IMO.

Darth Vadar (34) w/ EU, Title, Adaptability, ATC

OL (26) w/ Juke, Comms Relay

Colonel Vessery (40) TIE/D, Ion Cannon, Mk II Engine, Wired
