Haven't gotten around to it yet, but I'd like to try Mindlink on Guri, Manaroo, Kaa'To, and Palob (plus Blaster Turret). It's exactly 100 points and "all your eggs in one basket", but I'd like to see someone try to stop it from getting Focus on all 4 ships!

Dropping title from Fenn is mostly fine. The IG would work, not sure it's better than Bona or Asajj for the cost though.

I really like SotL's Bobatanni (and I saw the article through Reddit) but I'm also thinking of running the following list for regionals:

48 - IG-88B + AML + FCS + HLC + IG-2000 + AT

33 - Zuckuss + AML + FCS + IG-88D + Mist Hunter + Tractor Beam

16 - Kaa'to Leeachos + AML

Comes out to 97 total so I was considering FBA on IG-88B and BMST on Kaa'to. Completely untested by me, but I thought it might be fun to use the IG-88D crew and AML. I figure if it works out, after the first round of shooting I should be able to get focus/evade and TLs on the heavy hitters and push some damage (or control) through with the IG ability. I fear Kaa'to is just going to get blasted quickly and reduce the effectiveness of the other guys. Thoughts?

I could also totally get behind playing Boba Fett...need to run that Alternate Art from regionals a few years back . I'm just hoping I can get a few Vassal games in throughout the next 2 weeks.

That 31 pts fits a Talonbane w/ Mindlink and Vectored Thrusters. Lame mans Fenn Rau if you want that similar punch.

Or a cloak. Much more "one use", but then Talonbane tends to be a bit of a kamikaze anyway.... and it can be used to duplicate a "boost" as well as a "barrel roll" - plus it uses the action the turn before, not the turn you engage - meaning you can decloak forwards and then 5-K behind someone - and with mindlink, still have a focus.

I'm pretty convinced that Mindlink genuinely unlocks something in the Firespray. The Mindlink makes the 3K a great move as you've got Focus after it, fixing the Firespray's problem with turning around, and it also means you don't HAVE to do a green move to clear the stress right away and you can just wait for a good time. It's a genuinely extremely good list.

Interesting. As noted, the Firespray has decent green dice - so lots of focus is nice, and Boba can net rerolls from his own ability....

I shall have to give this a try.

this is weird!

yesterday i put this list on second place to a flgs, losing just the final, due to poor plannig/target priority.

• Fenn Rau (30) Protectorate Starfighter (28), Attanni Mindlink (1), Concord Dawn Protector (1)
• Manaroo (33) JumpMaster 5000 (27), Attanni Mindlink (1), K4 Security Droid (3), Unhinged Astromech (1), Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
• Dengar (37) JumpMaster 5000 (33), Attanni Mindlink (1), 4-LOM (1), R4 Agromech (2)

​ I tougth it was out of meta, and then, the day after, i see lot of similar lists here.

Anyway, is definitely true that those lists look way weaker on paper than on the table.

sorry for bad grammar/typos... i'm italian

Only having a single ship of 3 that has a 3 die primary is an interesting choice...

What did you run up against?

I feel Attanni is a Black Horse of this regional season. Bobattani, Mindlinked Fangaroo, Parattanni and some other variations are knocking to Tier1 roosters. Cool!

What did you run up against?

• double ghost w/bombs tlt e ac-autoblaster
• triple x7
• mindlink rau, cobra, kavil
• palpa soontir ryad (lost, but only by my fault..... it's an easy matchup)

only 5 points less move of the winner, with one less victory

How did you make out against Trip x7 and Soontir, in particular? Neither sounds like an easy matchup for your list; soontir laughs at 2 die turrets.

I'm tempted to try a pair of Mando Mercs with Tailgunners, and a Protectorate Veteran pretending he's manaru.

Tried it once so far. Won with it once so far. One game proves nothing, except that it's fun to fly.

black market take

black market tooks away 2 hull from soontir... he flown away scared. with (a focused and TLed) 4lom and (a double focused and TLed) fenn rau is not THAT difficult to kill a defender, believe me

Thanks.

I've also been having fun with the Mindlink madness. I started playing Mindlinked Ships back when I read Vyck's adventure at Gencon, and I really liked the idea. I didn't have a Jumpmaster, though, and I didn't really want to buy one, so I tried other ships to go along my 2 scyks. After several games, I ended up with this list:

Torkil Mux, TLT, Dengar, Cloak, Stygium

Kaa'to Leachos, Mindlink, xx-23 Thread Tracers, Chips

Tansarii Point Veteran, Mindlink, Heavy Scyk, HLC

Tansarii Point Veteran, Mindlink, Heavy Scyk, Mangler

It's definately not too competitive, but I'm having lots of fun!

When Wave 9 first came out I built a mindlink Dengar/Manroo list but never got around to testing it as I still only own 1 jumpmaster. A different build a friend of mine used at an event where you could only use the contents of a mystery box (thread here ) was Boskk and Dengar mindlinked with outlaw tech on Boskk.
