Last round of voting for Corsucant Open is up.

By Rogue Dakotan, in X-Wing

DO NOT VOTE FOR THE DEFENDER!

It's fix is almost out!

I picked the Punisher.

The bomber didn't make it so it's closest cousin has to succeed. I wanna see some bombs.

Punisher, HWK, StarViper.

VOTE SYCK!!!!!

Punisher, HWK, and StarVIper. I would like to see the squads with those ships.

Had to pick HWK over X-Wing otherwise we'll just see a lot of Biggs lists.

Punisher and HWK were obvious choices, but I'm torn on StarViper vs Scyk.

Viper>Scyk. The Scyk can always be used as a slightly overpriced Z-95/Tie Fighter Hybrid. The Starviper is expensive enough it will force real consideration in list building, much like either of the other faction's ships.

Yeah, generally, I think the more expensive ship that must be built around offers more potential for creativity from the players.

I went with Punisher, HWK and Scyk.

HWK versus X-Wing can be basically summed up as "Kyle or Jan with a TLT vs Biggs."

I went with Scyk as it just seemed more interesting to see how people would use it. There are a lot more build options available, especially with Mindlinks in the mix. Starviper largely is just a question of "What system and EPT are people going to put on their AT Guri?"

Please don't vote for the Defender guys. It could seriously upset the balance of the event. If the Rebels and Scum have to play with "lemons" and all the Imperial lists are using a newly buffed Defender, it will put whoever has to play against imperial lists more than once at a huge disadvantage.

For whatever my opinion is worth, please vote for

Punisher, Rebel HWK, M3-A interceptor

Punisher, because Defenders will be everywhere after Veterans finally arrives. Hwk, because Biggs is already a great pilot and pops up in lists all the time. Starviper, because the Scyk is so cheap it can just be thrown into any list as filler and ignored.

Defender, HWK, M3-A. Long live the Empire!

Voted Starviper. It's a solid ship, just a bit overpriced. I would love to see what some of the top players can do with it.

The Syck can be just filler, whereas a Starviper actually has to be part of the list.

Vote Starviper!

Punisher, X-wing, Starviper

I missed the 2nd round....

VOTE SYCK!!!!!

too small doesnt handicap them enough

Punisher, 65, Scyk for me.

I want to see a Wedge-Wes-Biggs list smash the competition!

Since I'm actually playing in it, can I request the Starviper, Hwk and Punisher please? :-D

Punisher, HWK, Starviper

As badly as I wanted to see some Scyk's on the table... I'm really curious to see what people do with the Starviper (Will it just be fat Guri? Will we see a Xizor mini-swarm? An expensive generic blocker? Who knows!) Also went with the Punisher (because come on... Defenders are going to be ridiculously good) and HWK (I love both the HWK and X-wing pilot abilities, but the HWK has the most repercussions for building out the rest of the list).

Yeah, while a lot of people would argue that it isn't represented enough for the game's mascot, the T-65 does see play in competitive lists (Biggs+Wes+Corran won multiple regionals). The Hwk would make for more interesting lists, especially since Kyle, Roark, and Jan all lend themselves to different builds.

  • Punisher, because it seriously warps squadrons with its price which I think is exciting and the Defender is about to be extremely good, so we'll probably see it anyways (Redline/Vessery anyone?).
