We're calling for shuttle lists, just give us that sweet sweet shuttle action, new or old. The Jankier the better.
The worst part of my A-wing addiction is how everyone supports it.

I'm guessing his version is this. That's so many actions. It's ridiculous.

If you want even more A-wing jank, try this out:
25 Ahsoka w/ VI, Captured TIE, Sabine's Masterpiece, Ops Spec, Feedback.
25 GSP w/ Snapshot, PRockets, Chips, Test Pilot, Crackshot.
25 GSP w/ Snapshot, PRockets, Chips, Test Pilot, Crackshot.
25 GSP w/ Snapshot, PRockets, Chips, Test Pilot, Crackshot.
The funnest part is watching the horror creep across your opponent's face as they realise how this list works.

I didn't know I was buying Sabine's TIE today. But thank you for telling me.
The list is 3x GSP with chardaan, title, juke, and snap shot. Also Nora with wired, r3a2, ops specialist and vectored thrusters.
From the talk in the Ops Spec thread I came up with this list: Ahsoka's Specialists
25 Ahsoka w/ VI, Captured TIE, Sabine's Masterpiece, Ops Spec, EMP Device
28 Gray Squad Pilot w/ TLT, BTL-A4, R3-A2
23 Green Squad Pilot w/ Juke, Snap Shot, Refit, Autothrusters, AWTP
23 Green Squad Pilot w/ Juke, Snap Shot, Refit, Autothrusters, AWTP
EMP Device can setup next turn Snap Shots VERY well and Stresshog shooting before the GSPs will likely allow for at least one Ops Spec to go off from the primary fire. Less alpha strike than the Procket version, but probably more reliable throughout the game. Also another shout out for EMP Device as a friend of mine has been very surprised how awesome it's worked for him. Example, EMPed a FULL Ghost off the board
... Do Rebel shuttles count?
3xSnap/Juke/AT GSP (69 total)
1xHeff Tober w/ Cassian, OpSpec, Ion Projector, Title, and Collission Detector (31)
Best of both worlds!
Starslinger made an offhand comment about "two PS9 TIE/sfs" as a possible Imperial archetype. I used a squad like this recently. It was Quickdraw and Backdraft with FCS and Lightweight Frame, with Targeting Computer Soontir Fel as the 3rd ship. Seemed real solid to me. The SFs are the Imp Aces that are most resistant to the hardest ace counters (bombs) thanks to their rear arcs and 6 hit points, while Fel does his thing. On top of that, with 3 PS9 ships that can slam out Target Lock/Focus attacks, you're doing serious damage each turn.

Just have Dormitz with FCS and Hypercomm chuck a couple of buzzsaw shuttles halfway up the board and go to town.
In the Snap Shot Greens + Ops Spec theme, Stay on the Leader has this build that he's blogged about - best part is you only need one Sabine's TIE expansion to run it!

You sir, have my attention. Most interesting....

No joke it's been roiling in my head all day.
Snap Shot can't be used out of the rear arc since it's a secondary weapon. Secondary weapons can only be fired out of a primary firing arc.

I think the offhand comment about the C-ROC list was mine! I didn't make the best use of the C-ROC, but I felt y'all had to hear about Dead Man Z-95s. Just fly three squads of four, and try to park them right in front of the opposing epic ship. They roll for damage for each ship they hit and take one from each Switch!
It'll work! I'm sure it'll work! I just need to buy three more aggressors and three more most wanted.
I wanted to get this out before the cast because I can't wait more than anything.
I went 4-3. 2 of those losses were very winnable on my end.
The A-wings were not the problem this time. I was. For me that's an amazing feeling. I can improve or a better player can take the list and win.
People did not know how to handle Snap/Juke A's and I lost count on how much extra damage those cards added. There are plenty of ways to play with this archetype, but I ended with Nora over Jess, Braylen, or Adding 2 Ties to maximize Ops Specialist.
The Nora version (R3-A2, Ops Specialist, Wired, Overhaul, and Vectored Thruster) was the middle ground of Control, Damage, and Survival out of all the lists. That plus I have played it a bunch so I was comfortable with it.
I really think there's a lot to be learned in this archetype, I'll be continuing to play it.
That's awesome. I recently got a chance to try out my 2 Snap/Juke/Autothruster GSPs, Stresshog Gray, and Ahsoka w/ Ops Spec & EMP Device. I can tell my opponent had a harder time picking his dials. I was able to setup an EMP Device on Omega Leader and the next round it got shredded by the AWings that closed in and setup the Snap Shots and regular combat round shots. I have very little experience using AWings, but I'm looking forward to trying this out further.
Edited by RStanIve been running "Balle-"A" Norra"
Norra, PtL, Title, TailGunner, BB-8, EU
Tycho, Rage, Prockets, PtL, Chimps
Jake, S2S, Adapt Up, Prockets, Chimps (or Trick Shot instead of S2S)
My favorite A-wing list so far

So the EMP device is something I find important when running Snap Shot. It's a lot easier when you can line up a guaranteed shot. This is one of the reasons I like R3-A2. Plus Stress and Juke go very well together.

Hey that is my list, it is crazy fun to fly. Though Rex instead of Sabine did imo a better job.

I've heard that, you lose snap though.
I've been trying out 4 A's with Snap, Crack and Rockets. Seems to be pretty good so far. The PRockets seem like a great counter to biggs if I can get the range control in.
X/7 defenders are hard to take out once the Crack and missiles are gone though

Run in, focus, watch as they feel terror?
