45 point furball/large base only

By Jdling, in X-Wing

I just signed up for a 45 point, no Lone Wolf, large base only, single ship tournament. I know my build, but I would love to spend the next few weeks testing as much as possible.

What would you bring to the show and why? I will build and test against as many as possible.

IG-88B (36)

- Veteran Instincts (1)

- Fire Control System (2)

- Mangler Cannon (3)

- Autothrusters (2)

Pilot skill 8 may put you ahead of other large-base pilot skills. You've got a nice double-tap effect and you'll have target lock and focus for at least one of them. Autothrusters just gives you that extra bit of defensive bonus.

Is it 1v1 or a free-for-all with more than two players on the table at once? That could make a big difference.

Misposted. Multiplayer. Up to 8.

Same as Derpzilla88. IG is wickedly maneuverable as well as packing a punch.


Asajj Ventress (45) - Tanky, fast, and capable of doing decent damage.

Push The Limit

Latts Razzi

Gyroscopic Targeting

Burnout SLAM

Dengar (44)

- Stay on target

- Outlaw Tech

- R4 Agromech

- Glitterstim

- Counter-measures

You would be unlikely to have anyone move after you so you can dodge and shoot (hopefully at range 1).

How about a turtle build?

Contracted Scout (45)

-Experimental Interface

-"Gonk"

-Punishing One

-Feedback Array

-Unhinged Astromech

Take your potshots from afar and build those shields. Feedback array when needed.

Can just evade every round, and get full offensive mods. Get in a corner? Drop an ion bomb and slam out. Any large base that follows you will fly off the board

Cassian Andor (44)- U-Wing

Formatting got messed up with the forum update.

U wing, Heff tobber, Boshek and Cassian, Fcs, title, ion projector or anti pursuit lasers. For pure shenanigans.

Upsilon shuttle Kylo Ren, Rec Spec, PTL, Pattern analyzer, and Fcs. You know what why not throw Boshek on there, throw him everywhere even though he's not the best crew slot everywhere (ahem, scum crew).

Sabine Wren with Dengar, Glitterstim x2, and Gyroscopic Targeting for 44 points.

I agree. Token stacking won't stand up long in a furball. Autothrusters and high agility are going to be the best defense because they keep applying against multiple attacks. Plus large bases means lots of PWTs so Autothrusters are a must.

IG-88C with PTL, Advanced Sensors, Autothrusters, Burnout SLAM. Not a huge offensive threat like B, and very defensive, so I'm not sure they would want to shoot at you first.

And hide in a corner until the other players have killed each other.
