Opposite of Meta

By Hepitude, in X-Wing

My X-Wing Wednesday group is playing purposefully awful fleets tonight for fun. What's the worst fleet you can come up with?

One Scyk. No mods.

6 hawks! One Syck could probably solo all of them lol

This one is 100 points:

Dash Rendar (YT-2400) + Expose + title + Luke Skywalker + Experimental Interface + Tractor Beam
Rebel Operative (HWK-290) + Leia Organa + title
Rebel Operative (HWK-290) + Gunner

Nothing is a legal list - great initiative bid...

I feel like the Outer Rim Smuggler would have to be in this conversation somewhere.

Lol a HWK plus gunner makes me laugh. Oh I see you dodged my one dice attack... SURPRISE I'm gonna shoot you again muhahahah!

8 generic TIE fighters. I mean, who plays generics? Oh wait. . .

In all seriousness, sounds like a lot of fun to get lowly losers out and have a blast!

8 generic TIE fighters is still a pretty mean list. That is a lot of blocking and a lot of red dice.

I think the worst list would have to be based off of stupid upgrades or anti-synergy between upgrades and abilities, like:

Airen Cracken: Lone Wolf

Garven Dreis: R7T1, Vectored Thrusters

Blackmoon Squadron Pilot: Accuracy Corrector, R2F2

Bandit Squad Pilot

100 points on the dot, full of ships that could do things every turn, but none of them will be particularly good.

"Fel's wrath" with a 77 initiative bid

Gah! You beat me to it!!

You're probably already done playing, but one of my favorite casual squads is

Fel's Wrath, Lt. Lorrir, 3x Alpha Sq. Pilots. Enough firepower to be respectable, but mediocre pilot abilities and generally low PS make it pretty awful. Sure is fun, though!

3x Outer Rim Smugglers

Mercenary Copilot (2)

Hotshot Copilot (4)

The "better" part of my list is Dash with Luke. Luke never gets to do his thing, because Dash no longer has a primary weapon. He only has a tractor beam. But it is a 4 dice tractor beam if he uses Expose. ;)

Sigh...Lt. Lorrir, such a cool ability, if only it didn't come with the stress cost and if only he had an Elite slot. Few things as fun as curved barrel rolls.

1 space spider and 1 syck

Whisper/Rage/EI/Baffles.

K turn, baffle stress, focus, rage, baffle 3 stress, explode.

Atem

Don't forget a lot of guidance chips for all non-missile/torp ships.

But even Stygium is great, without Cloak!

Oh are you doing the thing where you bring the worst list you can think of then trade squares at the beginning of the game? That sounds like fun to me.

Wild Space fringer w/ outrider and tractor beam

Rebel Operative x4

100 points

Shuttles. Naked f***in Shuttles.
