Best ship in the game?
Do we have a Godwin's law for Gunboats?
Sigh.
You should be ashamed for this religious persecution, we in the church of the holy bungoat only want to spread the good word of the holy Pentagon, open your heart and embrace it's holy laser bolts.

I prefer the Spice Runner over the Rebel Operative since the Tactician/TLT nerf. It can equip better crew like Zuckuss or Dengar and has an illicit slot for BMST or Feedback Array. Had lots of fun with this:
Spice Runner (16)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Dengar (3)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
Torkil Mux (19)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Zuckuss (1)
Palob Godalhi (20)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Cloaking Device (2)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)
Kaa'To Leeachos (15)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
Guidance Chips (0)
Total: 100
Rebels is, what, 3 years old?
Eh, Sabine's more my type.
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.
If I was alone, wandering the galaxy, I'd like to travel with Rey too...
closer age to.
I know what you mean, but how old is Sabine officially? Rey appears to be about 18 to 20. And she has the plot on her side.
Sabine is 16 at the start of Rebels.
So... let's just leave her be for the moment eh?
I'm pretty sure she is 19 now, so I would totally ask her out. also I'm only 17, so i'm probably closer in age than some of you.
Hmmm, now I am trying to find out a woman which is about my age and I would ask her out (if I wouldn't be married, of course). It could be Asajj Ventress...
I'm sure Hobojebus will rebuke me again.
Bald doesn't really do it for me, you humans have such odd skull shapes.

Yeah, she needs some head tails to break up the flatness a bit.
Seriously Soontir is awesome but he's killable, there are so many ways to deal with him, especially with the new stuff from wave 9 BMST, Sabine etc. Not to mention he's 35 points and needs an additional 29 point palp shuttle as an insurance policy. You also don't really need to build a list to beat Soontir as stuff that's good against Soontir is also good against almost any other ace. To kill Soontir you need to deal stress or block him or have a reliable way of pushing damage through defense dice. All of these things work well against most other aces.Oh, I'm really torn. I love the Tie Bomber and think it's competitive, even if everyone disagrees with me. Still....I'm going to be focusing on Epic play for a while and I think I'm going to go with Raider.
If you want to say most OP ship.....then I'll go with Soontir Fel. He got my vote for WORST ship in the game as he's so OP than he just bends the meta around him. For example, I don't think U-boats are that nasty, it's just that you have to build a list that can beat them.....AND beat Imp Aces. There are lots of things that can kill U-boats, but they die to Imp Aces. So, is the problem really U-boats? Or is it that we have come to accept Soontir Fel as the default ship that your list has to beat? Evidence for my case is all the anti-Soontir stuff that FFG has been pumping out for the past couple waves. Also, the idea of pushing jousting as more of an option over arc dodging.
I never said he wasn't killable, but you have to have the tools in your list to beat him. If you don't, you will be hurt. It's not as bad as the Tie Phantom. I think PTL Aces overall are the nastiest thing in the game, and Soontir is the king of them. I agree and am happy there are a lot of things lately that have come out to defeat Soontir, specifically BMST, but do recognize that they have been working on all sorts of little things to counter him as he's been pretty strong since Auto Thrusters brought him back into the spotlight. I think your list has to have the tools to defeat Aces or you have to be very experienced in flying against them.
Personally, I don't think U-boats are overpowerful. It's just the lists that beat them can't compete vs. Imp Aces. If you want to beat U-boats, you just mass firepower at a slightly higher PS than them. Use your own ordnance or just firing. Kill one before they fire and then have more ships than they do. If they kill one of yours a turn, they will run out of Torpedoes before you come close to running out of ships.
My argument for J5k over Soontir is that all competitive lists should have tools for taking down arc Dodgers and high value aceswhich includes Soontir (I wholeheartedly agree that he was the King of PTL aces but perhaps if BMST take off we won't see anywhere near as much ace PtL anymore) but jumpmasters are more of a "build this to kill them" deal.
My main point however in terms of Soontir>not op jumpmasters>op is that Soontir takes skill and luck to fly well. If you screw up you have a pretty good chance of getting dead real quick. The torpedo boat however (which comes in cheaper than Soontir quite often) doesn't take anywhere near the level of skill required to fly arc Dodgers, has better offensive fire, a 360 turret and 9hp backed up by 2 greens is pretty forgiving too.
OK....I'll agree that it takes more skill to fly Soontir Fel than it does U-boats, but I wouldn't say it takes no skill to fly U-boats. Certainly more skill than TLT Y-wings and possibly the same skill vs. Fat Turrets. I do think, though, that you need to have the tools to face someone like Soontir Fel (PTL Arc Dodger) as he's so powerful and so prevalent. When you take the tools for someone like him (or the Inquisitor) than you end up having a hard time facing U-boats. If you want to beat U-boats, though, you just need to take a lot of ships of higher PS than PS 3. Make sure they can do the damage.
