I was on a trip for a while. Just finally finished reading the new FAQ. I'm really impressed. Its clean, well thought out, bumps up thngs FFG wanted to bump up, while toning down things they thought they didn't like much, TLT, R4, Ghost craziness.

A bump up to Whispers ACD in the new meta vs Dengar, and resolving non-attack abilities before new attacks begin.. Reducing power of initiative in random interactions.

I'm so much happier now that a list someone brought as a troll list is completely illegal in FOUR different places. Its so funny.

Poor Laetin and Valen Rudor, haha!

On that note, I'm a little out of the loop. What are you having fun flying? What do you think is the current meta?

I'm waiting for the Arc-170 to finally come. Veterans so far hasn't really spoken to me: I haven't seen them win much vs large ships, Scouts and high PS aces.

Well Blail, I've upgraded my five Cartel Marauder list.

Now I'm flying three Black Sun Aces, with Trolob, Moldy Crow, Blaster Turret and all with Attani Mindlink.

Brutal, eh?

Right now, I have been flying bombing K-Wings. I ran two Wardens with a Naked Z, but I will be trying out Miranda and a Guardian tomorrow night at the LGS. There is a small tourney there on Saturday, so if I like this list, I will probably run it, as opposed to Palp Aces.

I'm thinking I may have to jump onto Jumpmasters now, they seem if anything a little more dominant. Still got a 100% record in UK Regionals post-FAQ, winning 3 out of 3.

absolutely loving my duo-defender tomax shuttle list from imperial veterans. So many people around here view tomax shuttle as insanely pointless compared to the palpmobile...then they get decimated by it and just call it luck lol.

10 games so far with it, no loses. Havnt faced tripboats yet but i have faced palpaces.

I've been testing out a number of Defender variants, trying to find the one I like the most. Triple Defenders, Dual Defenders and a Fleet Bomber, PalpAce variants, and most recently Chirpy and the Countess. Unfortunately I'm not really any better off for it, because they've all been equally awesome. First world X-wing problems, I guess.

What's the shuttle?

I've had the most fun lately with the lists in my signature, particularly the Party Bossk list. Just last Friday, the very first shot of the game, Bossk one-shot an uncloaked Whisper after rolling blank-hit-crit after rerolls with his Mangler cannon. Cannon turned it into crit-crit, 4-LOM blocked Whisper's focus token, and Zuckuss forced her to reroll her one evade (on focus-evade results) to a blank. One of the crits became two hits (thanks, Bossk), so hit-hit-crit was the final result, and the faceup card was double damage. Felt like a muthaf***ing boss.

First round I played against Imperial Veterans stuff (we proxied it before release), I brought the below Poe build paired with a PTL Han Solo with Kanan crew. It chewed my opponent's Veterans list to pieces. I think that list had a TIE Shuttle and two defenders, probably Maarek and the Countess, though I can't say for sure. It was a while ago.

Nothing really changed at our venue. I think one kid had to change one of his builds. I tend to run imperial but enjoy scum from time to time. I like my Tie Interceptors.

Poor Laetin and Valen Rudor, haha!

I don't get why everyone keeps saying Valen Rudor got nerfed.

Previously, Rudor could take his action before the second shot from TLT or Gunner only if he had initiative. If he didn't have initiative he got his action after the second attack. Now he essentially always goes after TLT but before Gunner. It seems like a wash to me, and may even be a buff if you run into more Gunner and IG88-B than you do TLTs.

I flew tomax+coolhand+fleet office+mk2, 31 point inquisitor, and vessery+tie/d+ion cannon.

Super fun, wonky ps8 aces list. I really enjoyed it, and would recommend the list to anyone who enjoys slapping down a butt ton of tokens each turn.

You forgot Lando and Vader crew both got nerfed.

Vader crew did not get nerfed. The only thing that changed with him is that his interaction with Gunner (ie. how you always had to go Attack-Vader-Gunner-Vader) now makes sense.

Flying Special-K Super Dash and a Warden with Sabine, ABT, and a large pile of bombs. One of the most fun lists I have had in a while.

Working on a Triple X list (T-65 only), to try and take care of triple defenders. I have Wedge fine tuned (I think), But i'm still working on Wes and what to fill the rest of the squad with (Biggs is an obvious go to, but I'm also looking at maybe Tarn or Hobbie).
