So I tried something crazy last night....

By BlueMusketeer28, in X-Wing

Wedge Antillies with PTL, R2-D2, and Vector Thrusters

Wes Janson with Veteran Instincts, R3-Astromech, and Integrated Astromech

Braylen Stramm in an overhauled ARC with Jan Ors and R3-A2.

I only ran one game, was up against Ryad, Glaive, and Vessery, but honestly this was really fun and R3 Astro was really helpful since Janson often had more than one evade in the early stages of the game, which helped to slowly push through the defenders. In the end, I had lost the ARC and had Wedge and Wes at full. Even so I am open to suggestions.

You go brother!!! Way to go with flying something 'out there'. The only suggestion i have would be tail gunner on the ARC. But this is a personal taste thing. I completely see the reason for Ors. Makes all the ships a tad more durable. Just something to try at some point.

I did consider switching to Thane, as his ship takes that one leftover point, but I'm not sure how well he will handle that stress. In my game the ARC got ioned to death, which was not unanticipated, but I couldn't get a lingering stress it had off of it so the rear gin was less useful. Tail gunner was a thought but I loved having an arc dodging Wedge with an effective evade option (at the cost of a focus mind you but still...)

Yup arc dodging wedge is entertaining. Speaking of which...something i have wanted to try is R2 astro on a PTL Wedge. Gives him a better dial and a tad cheaper. Granted you lose the regen but it is an idea. Maybe not a good one but an idea it is.

I've done this before! It is awesome, but if he gets focus fired then you will lose him a lot faster. Even so it's great.
