Jumpmaster, TIE Defender?

What do you think is the best ship in the game?

define "best", as the term is so nebulous that it's basically meaningless without context

unless, of course, you're implying "best evar" in which case it's a no brainer

...wait, what do you mean they're not the same ship?

no man should be forced to choose!

Best? Depends what you mean.

Jumpmaster is easily the most customisable and aggressively costed.

K-wings are the funnest to fly, followed closely by the TIE Phantom.

I don't know if I can decide which is the coolest looking ship between the X-wing, B-wing, A-wing, Intercepter, TIE/ln or TAP.

Decimator

What do you mean by best? If I was alone wondering the Galaxy (meaning only one ship, points not relevant), it would defiantly be the Outrider with Lonewolf, HLC, Rey, Smuggling Compartments, Black Market Slicer and Anti-Pursuit Laser. If you are considering points, the Contracted Scout hands down.

Soontir fel. No other 35 points in the game can consistently do what it does.

Biggs.

If you mean best ship (regardless of pilot) then I would say for its points the Tie Defender delivers the "best".

If you mean "best" pilot (regardless of the ship he is on), that's easily Darth Vader. (If only his ship would deliver as strongly, almost though).

If you mean best center piece (a ship/pilot to build a squad around) that's between 3 and I can't pick (even with my Imperial bias) Biggs, Howlrunner, or Manaroo. (Palpatine doesn't count as he is a crew upgrade)

Academy Pilot.

YV-666

Ghost, plenty of room for Cargo, decend crew quarters to live in, small shuttle for excursions. Ability to spoof ship ident for when you don't want people knowing where you have been.

I would have to say that over the years, the pilot that has consistently placed himself at the top tables has to be Soontir. I don't know if he's the BEST, but he's always seeming to hang around with the best, even with those other "best" pilot go away he's still there. I really can't say any other pilot has been as good as Soontir is for how long he has been.

He's certainly supremely efficient and previously I would have bet on him one-on-one against almost any single ship build in the game, however I wonder if the next tournament cycle will see him fade away a bit due to the threat of BMST. I'm not suggesting he'll disappear entirely, just that he'll be less consistent.

Clearly the best ship at the moment is the Imperial Raider...but one day we might get a Star Destroyer!

Oh yeah I keep forgetting about all those Connor net lists that keep consistently making it to the top tables at big tournaments...

Kind of would if they didn't (like 90% of rebel ships) have a reaally bad matchup with fat-HP ordnance carriers (someone said Jumpmaster?).

As for "best ship" (and not "best pilot"), I would say you have to reduce things, and search for one "best ship" for a specific role.

Best ordnance carrier is Jumpmaster, best swarm ship is TIE/ln, best blocker may be the A-wing, etc...

Raider

I love Soontir and have flown him loads in the past, but do you foresee for him as bright a future competitively now that scum have access to a 1 point upgrade that can effectively reduce his hull by a third without having to have arc or get past his defense dice?

I feel the counter to Soontir is not so much BMST but Sabine Wren. Drop a Conner for 2 damage, Drop something else for 1 damage, bye Soontir, and I get to move first.

Tie defender ofc.

TIE-fighter. It has a massive host of different pilots, and all of them are viable in one way or the other. (Academy for mass/blockers, obisidian for PS, blacks for EPT etc. etc.)
+ TIE-swarm players always have my respect Such a demanding archetype.

EDIT! I'm a rebel player!

Red Interceptor.

(Everybody now the red ones are faster)

Now that is easy …
