Choose Wisely!

By Hawkstrike, in X-Wing

The FFG final vote is up for the ships the champions will have to include in their lists at the Coruscant Invitational conclusion to the System Open.

Time to rock the vote.

IMPERIAL : Do you want to see Palp Aces vs. Palp Aces all the time at Coruscant? No? Then be sure to VOTE TIE PUNISHER ! 'Cause with the Imperial Veterans release, a vote for the Defender is a vote for Palp Aces. Vote for some originality instead -- some munitions, bombs, and maybe a ship with no EPT should be standard in an elite player's list.

REBEL : Do you think every Rebel list should feature Biggs? No? Then be sure to VOTE HWK-290 . 'Cause if you vote X-wing -- and don't get me wrong, I love my X-wings -- Biggs will be everywhere. Let's see some neat synergy with a HWK list instead.

SCUM : Tired of Arc-dodgers everyehere? Want to give some elite players a real challenge? Then be sure to VOTE M3A SCYK INTERCEPTOR ! Widely regarded as the worst ship in X-wing, it's the best challenge we can give them.

the scyk will be a tiny throw away ship that doesnt really impact the build.

i want to see pros arc dodge at ps5

I can't believe the imp firespray lost. very disappointed.

Punisher, X-wing, Scyk. I like all three, and even if the X-wings are all Biggs I like seeing what lists come out with him.

That's what I voted, but I didn't think about Biggs. I kinda wish I voted for the HWK now.

Is there a way to vote that doesn't involve Twitter?

Ummm.. in the link in the OP. It uses Google Forms.

So far... all my original votes are still in it. Scyk M3-A, HWK-290, TIE Punisher.

I would love to see these ships flown well.

I want another vote with one ship from each faction that is NOT allowed in the tournament.

I voted for Punisher, HWK, and Star Viper. All ships I like to use, on top of not being things that play into standard meta much. Would really just love to see some forced non Palp Aces lists.

I like the starviper over the scyk for the invitational. As has been pointed out, you can use a spacer basically as a throwaway ship/blovker replacing a z95 blocker in a list for only 2 points more. At 25 points minimum the starviper actually takes more thought on how you want to fit it i to your list. And as a big fan of the starviper personally, Im curious to see how some of the top players would use it

The Lothal final just showed how to make Scyks competitive ...

A Torp/missile of your choosing, EM, FCS,Chips Redline is 35ish points. There isn't much stopping anyone from running Palp Aces with Redline. He's still PS7 and hits like a truck.

That being said, I personally voted for Punisher because I am convinced we'll see plenty of Defender lists soon enough.

there are only two real choices

punisher

and Starviper

punisher so we can see it once competitively

starviper so people can possibly finally understand that it's not a goddamn interceptor

My picks are Punisher, HWK, Starviper. I really wanted T65 but I agree all we would see is Biggs.

Punisher, HWK, Starviper. Defenders are about to get their time in the sun anyway, X-wings would indeed just be all Biggs all the time, and M3-As don't impact the list building enough.

Hwk, Punisher, and StarViper. But I suspect we'll see the Scyk, because everyone knows how terrible it is. They won't have thought about the fact you only need buy one.

On the other hand, even two skinny jumpmasters and a Scyk leaves you... what, 24 points? So even a single Scyk leaves the list squeezed enough we should see some interesting builds; I'm thus not too sad either way.

Kind of a pity we got Punishers (Hello, Redline & Deathrain) over the Imperial Firespray; it would have been interesting to see what people did with such a chunky hunk of points pre-invested in something so... non-ace.

But I suspect we'll see the Scyk, because everyone knows how terrible it is.

And yet a list with multiple scyks made it to the final table at the lothal open :P

A pity the Imperial FS-31 didnt make it.

FS-31, HWK, and StarViper would have been lovely...

With a Star Viper list only a few places behind it...
