Competitive lists with cool Ships

By Schu81, in X-Wing

If you want something cool to fly, try this:

Norra Wexley — ARC-170 29
Marksmanship 3
Kyle Katarn 3
BB-8 2
Experimental Interface 3
Alliance Overhaul 0
Ship Total: 40

You reveal a green maneuver, BB8 lets you barrel roll. It triggers Experimental interface and you use it to pop Marksmanship. You get a stress from Experimental interface but you clear it with the green maneuver. Since you clear a stress, Kyle Katarn gives you a free focus. You then take a target lock as your regular action (for an added defense or attack dice...). Thats action economy :-)

Or this:

Kanan Jarrus — VCX-100 38
Fire-Control System 2
Autoblaster Turret 2
Jyn Erso 2
Finn 5
Ghost 0
Ship Total: 49

You almost always have a target lock to reroll the blank dice give by Finn. That gives you a base attack of 5 dices from front and rear arcs. Jyn Erso has good chances of giving you more than 1 focus per turn. One will be for the pilot ability, the other(s) for offense/defense. Autoblaster is there to keep away any pilots who like to be at range 1 (like Fenn). If you want to be nasty, you pair him with Jan Ors (pilot) for a potential of 6-7 red dices per turn :-) You most likely still have some pts left for upgrades and the attack shuttle.
