T-70's FTW...?

By Futura, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello all,

After seeing a few other triple X-Wing list around, I thought I would put one together and see what everyone thought. My goal was to make a straight forward list with consistent damage output, and enough longevity to be not only fun, but also semi-competitive.

TRIP 70'S

100 points


PILOTS

Poe Dameron (PS9 Version) (42)
T-70 X-Wing (33), BB-8 (2), Pattern Analyzer (2), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2)

Jess Pava (28)
T-70 X-Wing (25), M9-G8 (3), Integrated Astromech (0)

Red Squadron Veteran (30)
T-70 X-Wing (26), Targeting Astromech (2), Primed Thrusters (1), Wired (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

The only other options I have thought of would be switching out the targeting astro for R7-T1, dropping Primed Thrusters and changing Wired to Trick Shot, then give Poe his title.

So, any advice, thoughts or criticism would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Jess wants her firends in formation, and Poe w/ BB-8 does not. If you want a solid formation, then switch to Poe w/ R5-P9. If you want to stick to the maneuverability thing, then trade Jess for Snap.

I think this list can work if you keep Red Veteran and Jess together as wingmates and let Poe fly as squirrely as he wants. I do like the idea of getting his title on him, if you can make the points work.

I worry that with all the alpha strikes out there, your end game ship (poe) will get targeted early and taken out...

I've been playing with BB-8 Poe with Jess as wingmates for a bit, and you'd be surprised how big range 1 is. Sure, Poe and "Snap" (my 3rd pilot instead of Red) do a lot of movement and can be easily separated from Jess, but the flip side is that they can also come racing back into range 1 if the need arises.

I would swap Pattern Analyzer and Primed Thrusters on Poe and Red Vet respectively. Then I would drop Wired for Trick Shot on Red Vet to allow Poe to take the title. I love Primed Thrusters on Black One because you can shed TL even while stressed. You might even drop Pattern Analyzer altogether to give Red Vet a better Elite. Wingman? Expert Handling? Intimidation?
