Hey everyone, my friends and I are doing a backwards draft (you build the worst team comp you can think of, and then they have to play it), with an additional metric being that the cost of the build is worth bonus points, so to that end, I am looking for a couple spice runners (card, tile and scum hwk dial). If anyone has any extras of these sitting around I would gladly buy them off you.

Cheers

also, unrelated, does anyone know where do get just the attack shuttle from the ghost expansion? I've looked on eBay but no one can ship it "international" (im in Canada)

For that format Dash with Jan Ors is king.

Dash Rendar (36)
Expose (4)
Tractor Beam (1)
Ion Pulse Missiles (3)
Luke Skywalker (7)
Experimental Interface (3)
Outrider (5)

Jan Ors (25)
Expertise (4)
Gunner (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Moldy Crow (3)

Total: 100

Hey, I think I'm missing somethig because that seems like a pretty good list overall. I'm trying to find the worst possible list that costs the most real money. Which is why I'm going 6x spice runners ($15 for the hwk ship, 45 for each most wanted), and then filling the last 4 points with crew and stuff from other expansions

So the "cost of the build" is the actual $ of the build not the squad points?

Definitely missing something. Dash is 59 points and can't do anything as far as damage is concerned, other than throwing somebody on a rock. A 360 tractor beam on Dash might be annoying for the opponent, but certainly not any good if you want to destroy ships and only have a hwk backing you up.

Yeah cost is real world cost. Ok ok, I totally missed the outrider interaction and the tractor beam, that's clever.

I would go for any of the Firespray with Dace Bonearm... You can always fit in a blaster turret.

That does way too much damage. The Firespray has 3 attack in two arcs and the Blaster Turret lets Dace do up to 3 points of damage in a round.

You may actually destroy something with that.

The make the worst list you can and make someone else play it is kind of a lousey format. I think it sounds cool at first but in practice ends up with a bunch pf broken stuff that's no fun to play.

Indeed. Would be more fun to focus on anti-synergy combos. Such as N'Dru with Wingman, or Ahsoka with Lone Wolf, rather than finding ways of making 60 points of useless ship.

For such Reverse the Whip formats, it's better to go with Alternating Reverse the Whip. 4 rounds, you play 2 rounds with your list, and 2 with your opponent's list, alternating playing with and against. Thus, you need to build a list strong enough to best stuff, and yet weak enough you can beat it. Thus is rewards squad building and flying.

Haha guys I appreciate all the input, but you're definitely overthinking this. It's kind of a beer and pretzel night with people who've only played a few games (everyone is using my stuff). I'm just making a stupid list (6x spice runners) to be easy to understand what is going on, but still significantly lacking in damage

4 x Spice Runners (19)
Bombardier
Scavenger Crane

Dace Bonearm (24)
Bombardier

You have one less HWK in play, where neither Bombardier nor Scavenger crane contribute anything whatsoever to the matchup. Dace is about as useless as you can get, unless the enemy has some kind of self-ion ability. total cost:

1. $15 for 5 HWKs = $75.
2. $45 for 5 most wanted packs = $225.
3. $20 for 5 K-wings (for bombardier) = $100.
4. $15 for 2 quadjumpers = $30.

Totalling $430, give or take. Assuming you can get all the cards, it knocks the socks off of the 6 HWK list.
