Worse crew for a given ship.

By Stoneface, in X-Wing

I sat down late last night to build a couple of squads using ships I don't normally fly. The "late last night" is a good indicator of how it went.

This morning I realised I had a wasted crew/ship combo. Hera Syndulla on a K-Wing. Hera pairs well with Keyan on a B but not so much on a K.

Has anyone else started a build with a bad crew/ship? I'd be interested to see how far it went

I've flown scum Boba Fett with K4 Security Droid a couple of times. It's not as terrible as Hera on a K-Wing, but I found myself not being able to use all the rerolls I had.

It is not so much a crew problem but i did go

Eaden Vrill + title

Heavy laser cannon.

Was so excited for it until i went to shoot and realized i cant do primary weapon attacks so eadens ability literally does nothing. However, now that boba fett is on the scene its remotely possible the ability could be used!!!

Dunno how many times when trying to get Expose to actually work i tried putting it on a Falcon after instinctively slapping C3P0 on there first lol. Fortunately ive never actually put that on the table, i usually spot it after awhile.

Or i'll put Ysanne on a ship with PTL // EI // Fleet Officer lol.

You lost me on this combo. Why were you limited on your rerolls?

Fett can give you a ton of re-rolls... he probably meant that his target locks were useless because of fets ability to re-roll... but on turns when you dont get fet into a pile of ships the target lock would still be good... its not a bad combo just not optimal.

Gunner or Luke on Dash's Outrider is about as useless as you can get.

Phantom with Vader crew.

Add in PTL and Electronic Baffles, you can self-terminate in a single round.

Gunner in a HWK --> Insta-autowin

Anything with a Flight Instructor :v

Luke in a HWK

Targeting Coordinator is not listed as Huge Ship only but requires energy usage, so put him on any non huge for disappointing results.

Bombardier on Emon Azzameen, just screamed common sense im using bombs ship has a crew slot throw bombardier on there but its overkill with Emon luckly I caught it early on and switched it out

Tail gunner on anything but the arc and firespray

Gunner on Dengar

M3A, heavy syck, extra munitions

The M3A

How could you pass up Flight Instructor on a Decimator? They could shoot at you from range 3!

Three gunners on a decimator.

Outrider Title + Tractor Beam + Mercenary Co-Pilot

I think the OP wanted stupid combos you actually flew... Or were thinking of using before reality set in.

Maybe, but this is more fun.

"The Unlucky 7's"

Bossk

IG-88D (crew)

Bombadier

Targeting Coordinator

Zuckass

Tail Gunner

Dace Bonearm

Gunner

98 points.

All PS 7. Dace's ability is useless without ions and the only crew that might actually do something is the gunner if you can get a shot at range 1.

or

Sabine's Masterpiece Tie, with Weapons Engineer crew...and no Targeting computer.

I did once have a guy show up to a tournament and hand me a list that included a TIE Interceptor with Engine Upgrade.

I've seen a TIE Advanced with Targeting Computer at a tournament.

Nashtah Pup (unfortunately)

I won a game with Nashtah Pup.

However, it did roll obscene with 3 natural hits at range 1 for at least a few rounds of attacks.

I was so excited when I found the amazing combo of Sabine (crew), a bomb, and... Sabine pilot :/

We need a cloning tank upgrade.

Did it not used to be 'lowest point squad' has initiative before it got changed to 'lowest point squad can choose who has initiative'? maybe it used to make sense to just fill it up to 100 if you don't want to have initiative but have literally nothing else to put the points on but a modification slot using something you already have?
