I thought those had 7th Fleet Gunner for a second there XD

Also I just noted in another thread but R4-P is officially my favorite Astromech. I've wanted R4 for ARCs for so long! ❤️

7th Fleet Gunner is nine points so as I suspected you aren't getting four of that upgrade in a list since the I2 104th Battalion Pilot comes in at 42.

42 point arc is a dream come true

42 pt i2 generic! 9 pt 7FG!

3x 7FG, one with Cody and a couple extra points to spare?

Yeah, I know

Wow, 42 points! ARC might be all I'm going to fly now lol

Ah yeah! My boy Wollfe is 51 points. I was expecting around 55. I’ll take it!

How would 3 ARCs and 2 Torrents pan out ? Sadly I didn't get a fourth, just 2 new ones to add to the older model that I need another dial for.

Did anyone actually think Quad ARC wasn't going to be possible? I mean, I didn't expect 42 points for a 104th (I guessed 46), but I always figured a SSV was unlikely to be more than 48 points.

I am a little worried as this doesn't seem quite balanced. 😕

My heart cries for left-over imperial ships like the tie interceptor. Saber Squadron Ace

I've always thought the ARC-170 a rather under-rated ship. 4 Naked in a list with a bid or one or two upgrades seemed possible but one coming in at 42 seemed unlikely. The list above seemed a pipe dream. Just a few evade results would make a world of difference with both my 1st Ed. and 2nd Ed. ARCs go Dutch lists. Re-rolls on those greens seems really good here in our theory crafting. Especially since ARCs have those 1-Blue straights. Fly in a diamond formation and make like Neo:

/x7s are a joke against Norra/Braylen/Biggs. Parattani is less threatening now that Fenn has less ways to get tokens, he can more easily be killed turn 1 with little to no impact, because that shot will go into Biggs and nobody important.

Dash sucks for ARCs. Like, a lot. Triple Ks are annoying but they don't have enough bombs to really make a huge impact against so many HP. Miranda is just like every other regen v. regen match. VCXs will be difficult only because Tail Gunner has no impact and Braylen will almost never double stress one. But even still, ARCs are capable of huge damage output so it shouldn't be too horrible.

Fewer ways to get tokens.

sorry.

I'm calling Wolffe with Trick Shot and Veteran Tail Gunner. Two 3 dice shots (1 with a re-roll) every turn coming in under 60 points. Not bad at all.

sorry.

Sinker gives red rerolls, everyone takes focus tokens, all but one ship get double red mods off three dice. Not many lists can pull that off.

Anyone else notice that "Jag" and "Sinker" are missing talent slots but the I3 generic has one? Is that odd or am I missing something?

Not necessarily. They sometimes balance strong abilities by leaving off talent slots.

It is similar to T-70s where Jess and Red Squadron are both I3 but Reds have an EPT but Jess doesn't.

Pretty sure there are other cases.

AGH! Thank you, totally missed that! 😆

To be fair it does work with his other ship (X-Wing) so the mix up is understandable.

Well, this'll get me back into xwing so that's good news

Just hope not EVERYONE will be running quad arcs because mirror matches are the ******* worst

Here's hoping rebels get arc Gunners worth a ****** soon

That's totally where my brain was; have two other Garven T-65 lists.

Can someone share the base insert double sides for the ARCs?

Odd Ball and Wolffe are each backed on the elite generic, Sinker and Jag each on the I2, I believe.

I was hoping to fly a jedi a 3 arcs... but doesn't look possible. 4 arcs is amazing. I'm still wondering if a something like Obi Wan decked out and two arcs will be good. seems like it. but not sure if 3 ships will be able to keep up with 4 ship lists. I feel 4 ships will be most efficient but we'll see. My currrent list is an Arc, Jedi w/7b, and two Torrents with missiles.
