New format: you're stuck with X

By Mu0n729, in X-Wing

100 pts. You call a specific pilot, which decides simultaneously which faction your opponent will play and which pilot/ship that be will be fielded first, and he or she does the same to you.

What would you unleash to your opponent?

Ran a tournament this way and it was a LOT of fun... I was "gifted" a basic starviper. I gave someone else a B Wing because they never, ever fly them :)

Excellent choice, on par with Etahn!

Another intriguing one for me is the avenger squadron, the never played ps3 interceptor (see? I help you not having to look it up). It's just uncomfortably pricy enough that equipping it with autothrusters and making it act like a non ptl cheap A-Wing that is expendable will convince you to run it in pairs so you can get your multiplicative effect, lest you run it solo and truly get a chunk of wasted points.

Wrecked store champ face with Fishboy and Dash. 1st at a 30 player, 2nd at a 70 player:

blank.gif?v148 Eaden Vrill + Heavy Laser Cannon + Intelligence Agent + Anti-Pursuit Lasers (42)
blank.gif?v148 Dash Rendar + Push the Limit + Heavy Laser Cannon + Kyle Katarn + Outrider + Engine Upgrade (58)

Would've made my day!

Fel's Wrath for my opponent :P .

Or is that too cruel?

Fel's Wrath and plenty others are bad in a normal state of the game, but when everyone's squads are limping, then you find ways for them!

ORS.

Awesome idea. Would keep X-wing fun, interesting and unpredictable.

Problem: what if your opponent does not have ship/pilot you pick? Some people do not collect everything but only buy the ships they need for their favorite/most efficient, competitive list.

Eh... who cares, they bore me anyways. If they need to borrow something, I'll loan it to them.

In fact, I'd tell them they have to run those three together...

porkins is actually good though. 5/8 of the time.

Haha!

What you are describing, Mu0n is pretty much the format of the Coruscant Open! "Every pilot is forced to play a ship, the public obviously forces upon you the shittiest ships."

Pilots makes it EVEN more hilarious!

A Knave Squadron pilot is where I would go. I've seen probably 1 of those across the table from me in the history of ever.

No, wait, Kir Kanos.

No, wait, Major Rhymer. (Though I secretly enjoy playing him).

Lt. Lorrir. Now you, too, can feel the pain of what was almost really great and cool, but instead turned out really bad.

If you get to pick upgrades also then I'm making somebody run Yt-2400 with outrider and tractor beam.

Fel's Wrath for my opponent :P .

Ramsay Bolton cruel

I would be a bit nicer and choose Graz THE HUNTER!

Pilot only, right? Ooh.

Outer Rim Smuggler is probably the cruellest, as far as dead-weight goes. But Fel's Wrath would have to be handed out on sheer principle, at least once. ;)

Ramsay Bolton cruel

I would be a bit nicer and choose Graz THE HUNTER!

If (s)he's up against other sh*tty pilots with a point cap, Graz might stand a chance. In the current meta with massive damage from the front arc, no.

For the last several hours I've been trying to figure out how Ramsay Bolton is related to Michael and why he is so cruel and then it dawned on me.

FFG transport ship.

FFG transport ship.

"Stuck on the Boat" is too frequent already D:

Such a cruel format :(

Hand someone one of the many clearly overpriced nigh on useless pilots and you'll have a clear pool of "favorites"

Any of the imp ace "aces" not named Jax

Generic Es (eathn is actually very good because he has sensors ptl r2d2; just not as high ps as corran)

Dace freaking bonearm is not the worst but hes not very good

Arvel

Rhymer (capable of damage with APTs but abhorrently overpriced)

Ten Nub

Etc.
