Hello friends and forum peeps, I hope you all have an amazing weekend. I worked out with the Mrs Cuban to get to play once a week up from Zero a week, which is super good times.

The question for the week is as follows; if you could stick any ability on a ship as a new pilot ability and we could use an existing title for said ship, what terrible things could we do to X-wing?

Pre-errata X7 title combined with TIE/D title, slapped onto a B-wing, specifically Istabum, with Tycho's pilot ability.

Predict Wave XII??

Tycho's pilot ability on Hera (crew) with any B-Wing ace. Or the U-Wing.

Biggs ability on Bright Hope

Punishing One on Corran Horn with Fenn Rau's pilot ability.

Whisper with X7 and Carnor Jax's pilot ability.

Darth Vader's pilot ability on PTL Soontir Fel and X1 title for Fire Control System.

Finally:

IG-88 B with Biggs' pilot ability and IG-2000 title paired with IG-88 C with IG-2000. So long as you have both in range and they're at range one of each other you cannot attack either.

Major Rhymer flying HLC Outrider with Expertise and Dengar crew.

Boba ablity (minus the whole discard) on a tie phantom, royal guard title with light weight and Acd.

I series of unique X-wing titles Red 2 though Red 12 and a Red Leader title that acts like IG-2000 title for pilot ability. As long as Red Leader is alive, all X-wings have the same title as the other X-wing.

Happy Friday!

Got to game this week (since family got me last week). I managed to play a HotAC game for the first time in a very long time. We just started over with new characters and did the intro mission. It was tough! Two of the 5 were shot down (Jbot and myself)! We were able to win, but did not get any bonus points. We did record it with a camera and hope to turn it into a YouTube video soon. We played with one guy who is just learning the game at home and came up to watch others play to learn. We roped him in. Another is from Sling Paint YouTube, but had never played HotAC before. I'd love to see those guys get in on that.

Five guys and we all had X-wings. I can see that an ordnance Y-wing can really help things out in the game. Blasting someone on the first turn is a big deal. We missed that. I went with R3 for the Evade tokens and he actually was very helpful twice! I managed to grab an Evade after using my TL to try to get more hits (but didn't). It saved me 2 shield. I did get shot down, but that's when I got an Interceptor on my tail at R1 and Jbot rolled 4 hits for him.

What I would like to do is something I mentioned on my podcast. I'd make Princess Leia an X-wing pilot. Make her PS 5 or 6 and make her ability " At the start of the Activation phase, you may pick a friendly ship at Ranges 1-3. If that ship reveals a red maneuver to treat that maneuver as a white maneuver until the end of the phase. "

What else? Maybe take the Royal Guard title for Interceptor and give it to the Kihraxz Fighter. Call it a "Medium Kihraxz" and allow them to get 2 Modifications. They are supposed to be some of the most heavily modded ships in the game. That would probably allow Cobra Talonbane to have a decent build. Engine Upgrade and Auto Thrusters? Or maybe Vectored Thrusters and Pulse Shielding?

Getting my wisdom removed soon... Won't be able to play epic with my buddies tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I'm not thinking too crazy this AM, so I don't have anything off the cuff...but:

Specifically for heychadwick: Un-Nerf the Phantom

And for me, make a 0 point upgrade card for TIE/LN Fighters that gives 1 modification slot (to make up for the card) and an EPT slot.

Happy Friday!

As in an extra mod slot?

Sir Orrin, you sir are smarter than I.....well inquired. No, it should be like this, sorry:

TIE/LN Title Your ship gains an (EPT) icon.

No problem man. I must admit, Academies or Obsidions with EPTs would be lots of fun.

Happy Friday, pilots!

I would throw some love at my lonely old StarViper. Let's say a title to use the Torpedo slot giving them Advanced Cloaking Device and a Crew slot. Don't know how broken it would be, but **** it would be fun to fly!

You want StarViper love?
Errata Virago to -3 points, non-unique and also adds a 2nd Torp slot and a Tech slot.

I think we need some xzibit's memes in here.

Thanks, as always, for doing Happy Friday, CB and so glad you have been turned loose to play our favorite avocation.

I place 206 out of 215 at the Hoth Open last week with my Scum Aces build! I had a great time and won an exclusive playmat in the first round drawing.

Later in the week I finally got to play with my new Empire ships and broke the losing streak!

Probably won't be playing over the weekend but will be taking 14 of my favorite pilots and putting them in the Ultimate Guard 7-card sleeves that put a pilot and up to six upgrade cards together. A friend loaned them to me during the tournament and they were perfect for traveling from one table to another.

Also pondering whether to see Ghost in a Shell.

Edit: I see I need to break X-Wing. Hmm, since Kihraxz has no title, let's go Vaksai title at -1 point, with Boost, replace Missile with Cannon and System Upgrade slots.

Which store on which night will you head to?

Dengar's Pilot Abilty on the T-65 X-WING

That would defintely return them to the table (excluding Biggs' of course)

Lets give Deathrains ability to a K-wing muahahaha

Omega Leader (TIE Phantom) with VI, ACD, FCS, and Weapons Engineer.

Whisper with the Inquisitor's pilot ability, and Royal Guard TIE title with Stealth Device and Advanced Cloaking Device. And VI for lolz. 5-6 evade dice, 5 attack dice. The horror.
