I dub thee

By Force Majeure, in X-Wing

(Didn't know where to put this topic: Off Topic, Squad Lists, or here.)

We've probably all tried our hand at building then next big list at some point. Some more successfully than others, but do you name your lists? I do, but that's not because I expect it to catch on if it ever gets popular; it just helps me remember the general contents of the list.

I have a binder brimming with lists that I'll never get to. They get a name, a version number and a creation/revision date. Maybe I've gone off the deep end.

What do you name your lists? Here are a handful of mine:

Hair's Luke-ing at You Kid (Luke X-wing & Chewbacca)
Dash it All (Dash & two Green Sq. Pilots)
Poe Folks (Poe & Two support ships, usually T-70s)
1000 Cuts (Fenn/Old Teroch/Palob)
Fearless & Inventive (Bossk/Fenn/Quadjumper)
TIE Fi Fo Fum! (Howlrunner/Omega Leader/Academy Pilots)

Heh, I have an app for this sort of thing. Usually I just name them for what they're good for or what they consist of... and looking at yours, I DEFINITELY need to get more creative :D

Zertic Storm & The Range One Band (with Carnor Jax, Backstabber and Mauler Mithel)
Vader & The Crazy 88's (two Black Eight Squad Punishers)
The Fun Ones (2 z.95, protectorate, and 2 Jakku Gunrunner, all at ps 1)
All in the Family (Wedge, Norra and Snap)
One Big Ship (Hera ghost, Ezra Phantom)

Looking through my lists, I do need to think of other fun names for some ... I have a few called 'not my build' as well...

I'm sure other people have some family builds as well ...

"Vader and boys"

"Dashed n dazed"

"Cluster f*ck"

"Hotpursuit"

to name a few..

Test # 5342. Results: got slaughtered like bothans.

Test # 5343...

I usually don't like naming squads unless it makes it clear what's in the list.

So "TalaDagger Nights" was my only contribution, back in the wave 4 days.

Kyle's Focus Factory: Kyle HWK, Garven Dreis, Jake Farrel, Tala/Bandit Z.
Moralo's Tug Service, "If we can't haul it, we'll blast it until we can!": Moralo HLC, x2 Jakku Gunrunners

...other than that, I keep it simple;
Kath & Ketsu
Zuck, 4-LOM, Palob, etc...

Squadron Y.U.B. Y.U.B.!

FanTIEstic four

smuggling run

I have altogether too much fun with my squad names.

Killer Queens : Miranda, Norra, Ahsoka
Rancher Inquisitor : Inquisitor, Yorr, OGP (Inky herding a pair of cows)
[CENSORED] : Poe, Snap, Jess (XXX)
Falcon Punch : Lando, Resistance Sympathizer
Pushy Rebels : Poe, Sabine (shuttle), Jake (all with PTL)
Drawback : Quickdraw, Backdraft, Jax
I'm a Huge Phan : 3x Shadow Squadron Pilot
Yep...That's a Punisher... : Redline, Whisper, Epsilon Pilot

I had an old list I used called "CHEERIO...cheerio"

It was RAC(Cheerio) and Echo :)

Girl's night out. Works for all three factions.

I haven't read a whole lot of the new canon novels, but is there a reason Wedge is in the all in the family...wait is he snaps dad!?!?

I made a squad of three K-Wings. I called it "KKK". Then I changed one to a HWK290 so I could have a better title.... Was even worse than the time I made a squad with a heavily outfitted Miranda Doni and called it "Special K"....I like K-Wings

Also Consider a squad with a Ywing and two K wings. Thinking I could call it "Y2K"

Denguri

Denguri 2: Tactical Boogaloo (has Tactician and Black Market Slicer Tools)

Cold Blood (Guri and Bossk)

Their Fire Has Gone Out of the Universe (Darth Vader, The Inquisitor, and Captain Jonus in an alpha strike)

They're More Dangerous Than You Realize (X-wings that did surprisingly well)

Trevuri

He's Dead, Jim (Colonel Vessery with Ruthlessness and Commander Kenkirk)

Tide Coldwater (two TIE/Ds decked to the nines and a blocker)

I'm loving some of the names in this thread.

All about the Dace

Purely because he was the first ship I flew and I thought Ion plus extra damage was totally amazing.
