Bit of fun - Big Ship builds

By taulover55, in X-Wing

You have 65 points to spend on a large based ship.

Faction restrictions apply just no Hounds tooth title and no Ghost/Phantom title.

This is for a race over 4 mats for up to 8 people with obstacles and a couple of epic ships slugging it out in the middle. the winner is the one who makes it to the other side and back (preferably intact)

My current favourite is this lovely chunk of Trollieness!!

58 points

Any big ship? In a race? Assaj all the way. Engine Upgrade, PTL, Burnout SLAM, Latts Razzi, Glitterstim, Shadow Caster.

Ketsu and Assaj with this setup are the two fastest ships in the game, and of the two Assaj is much tougher.

My fav:


Boba Fett (Scum)

  • Engine Upgrade
  • Expertise
  • Heavy Laser Cannon
  • Dengar
  • Burnout SLAM

With Expertise and Dengar you just have to spend your actions boosting or evading and shoot hard with Boba

I do love the shadow caster and that looks like an awfully fun build! I have a feeling though that the TO may ban burnout slam as its crazy good in this setup.

ooohhhh me likey!!!

Even then, Assaj still wins out for me. 5 straight and boost, no other large base has a 5 straight. Though more of then than not green 4 straight will actually be what you use, but still.

Yeah, the Shadow Caster is better, but the topic is about playing for fun, and I love playing with the Firespray (Maybe just for feelings).

Anyway, It will have to see the path of the race, the obstacles and the epic ships, and maybe include some turns (as in Mario Kart X Wing) in order to avoid the effect of "having the best Straight movements=Better", maybe going first is no so good. (I played Mario Kart too many times in order to see how Turtles can rain over the 1st Driver XD)

HoR Han + Engine Upgrade + whatever crew fits your taste - I'd probably take Rey + Jan Ors, build up focus tokens that you can use as evade tokens

Start at the far end of the race, and just boost back. Its how Han did the Kessel run in just 12 parsecs, by starting halfway there.

(I suggest you ban HoR Han from this race)

So you're doing a Cannonball Run where your ship has to stay alive while flying through a field of obstacles? Well, let's look at some of your options!

Dash Rendar (36)
Push the Limit (3)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Ion Pulse Missiles (3)
Kanan Jarrus (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Outrider (5)

61 points

Because the best way to deal with obstacles is to ignore them completely! 10 health behind two green dice helps keep you alive, and don't let the Scum fool you: their fancy Lancers have the exact same amount of forward movement as a barrel-rolling YT-2400. Ion Pulse Missiles help you play Mario Cart and tag anyone who tries to get in front of you.

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (46)
Determination (1)
Gunner (5)
Kylo Ren (3)
Hotshot Co-pilot (4)
Engine Upgrade (4)

63 points

It's a little known fact that the Imperials promote their admirals based on drag-racing skills. Chiraneau may be capped at a 4-straight and lack anything close to a K-turn, but he has a special hidden edge in Kylo Ren. Not only does Kylo let you tag the other racers with Blinded Pilots and Damaged Cockpits, but he'll also let you fish out those Shaken Pilot crits to force your opponent into a bank when they don't want to. When in doubt, fight dirty. And speaking of, we have the king of fighting dirty right here:

Han Solo (TFA) (46)
Push the Limit (3)
Ion Pulse Missiles (3)
"Leebo" (2)
Kanan Jarrus (3)
Burnout SLAM (1)
Smuggling Compartment (0)
Advanced SLAM (2)
Millennium Falcon (TFA) (1)

61 points

Because the easiest way to win a race is to start out at the halfway mark. This Falcon has everything: a white Sloop thanks to Kanan, loads of stress cleansing, an Ion Missile for dealing with other pesky racers, Leebo to let you boost, and Burnout SLAM to ensure you stay ahead of the pack. Nobody said Han fights fair.
