4 aggressors (because I never buy less than 4 of any TIE), 3 Skurrgs, and 3 gunships. I'm going to be broke thanks to Armada wave 6 and x-wing wave 12 being back to back.

For me a single purchase of each seems satisfactory.

Last multiple purchase I wanted was the Protectorate Starfighter.

I usually buy at least two of each fighter-sized ships, and one if large-sized. So for this wave, I'm getting six total.

Yep. This, every time.

... but I think Intensity will be pretty strong for Imperial pilots. Carnor and Turr Phennir in particular finally have an alternative to Push the Limit that won't leave them saddled with stress. Vader should be another fun choice, allowing him to get his TL for ATC, and still get a focus token if he needs to Boost or BR.

I also feel* it might be good on Defenders - I often found it a tough call to opt for a BR over a focus... Now you can have both.

Or, double evade (on X7's) if you don't have a shot but expecting a pounding.

(* disclaimer: my theory-crafting hasn't always proved to be the best :s )

So, isn't the only proper answer to this question:

"The maximum you can spam in a list...

... in Epic!"

Just kidding...

... about the 'Epic' bit.

I'm getting two of the TIEs and a H-6. The Wookie Gunship holds no interest for me at this stage.

One TIE that's just here to be the new boring quad TLT list (and dilute even more faction identity), one slightly OP scum ship (let's get this thing an ept, !), and one abomination from the kids show (that negates even more the idea of playing a b-wing, and definitely sets 3 red dice as the basic attack value)... Well, I will have money to spend elsewhere this wave.

As for me: one Skurrg, one Gunship, and either one or two Aggressors.

Interesting alternative to PTL, to not allow stacking focus/evade when that's the only thing that causes them to not die.

Intensity will go on /sfs well (Comm Relay), Vader, Snap, Poe (especially BB8 Poe, Poe with Focus/evade will be good. Intensity, Primed Thrusters, BB8, Integrated. Build him cheap), Jake (probably with VI rather than with PTL), and maybe TLTs with Barrel Roll (i.e. Kavil, Aggressors, EPT VT other Y wings) and AFAICT that's about it. Maybe Guri, to give her the ability to get Focus/Evade, but Mindlink is Just Better for her right now.

I'm probably getting two in order to do Vader and Quickdraw together both with Intensity.

I suspect Intensity would see a lot more use if Mindlink wasn't SO good on Scum. Which makes me thing a nerf is pretty certain.

Starting with 1 of each, but I'm guessing I'm going to end up with 3 Scurrgs... I'm likely to want multiple copies of Intensity as well, so I'm assuming multiple TIE Aggressors will happen at some point...

1x Scurrg. I can't imagine running one without the Havoc title, so you only need one.

1x Aggressor. It's a TIE so I need one. Lt Kestal might be good enough to use.

0x Auzituck.

4/4/4

That oughta do it.

1 - 1 - 1 for sure

The Tie is the one I'm least interested in as it doesn't offer a lot for me aside from Intensity which will be fun with some rebel pilots.

Wookie... I got a couple of ideas, but I'm not hopeful when it comes to competitive lists. I will not be buying this one when it first launches, but will pickup later down the line.

H6 I'll be grabbing one of for sure, as a Rebel player I have no need for 2!

I always go on the safe side:

1 Scuurg: Its a really good ship but i dont see the need for multiple ones in any potential builds.

1 Wookie Gunship: Not really sure how its going to perform but i dont have high hope.

2 Aggressor: If it turns out to be good ill go to 4 but for now ill try 2 aggressor + a 50 pts ship. 1st built will be with a decimator.

I like to be able to field entire wings of the same ship
but others are for support and so aren't needed in greater numbers (until i think about epic)
3 x Scurrg H-6 Bomber (4 when i think of Epic)
2 x Auzituck Gunship (4 when i think of Epic)
6 x TIE Aggressor (8 when i think of Epic)
(FFG please stop making TIE's i've got far too many already & i might loose my $h1t if you do "the yellow mining guild" (unless cards are worth it)
3 x Guns for Hire (i already have 3 of each ship but i have a problem)

I am becoming a real life comic strip


not got the X-wing Pilot cosplay ......yet (son already has the stormtrooper and T-70 pilot.... oh to be 5 again)
8)
FBJ

Uno Scurrg. Once we get it out of the hanger and get a feel for it, perhaps more.

After building an "all wookie" list... I may have to only get one Auzituck Gunship. Chewbacca on the YT-1300 just costs too much. I can have an equipped Chewbacca and two, naked Auzituck Gunship, or Chewbacca and Lowhhrick both decked out nicely.

One of each. Any additional will come in a likely aces pack or epic release.

The only ship that has made me want to buy a duplicate is the TIE/SF.

• 4 Aggressors
• 4 Auzitucks
• 3 Scurrg

Gotta keep my collection of "I can field a swarm of everything with the cheapest pilot" up, right?

Stacking focus/evade was never the only thing to cause them to not die. Usually it was a well-timed boost and/or barrel roll to get out of arc, and then pushing for another action to get a single token and let Autothrusters do their work. PTL was the original choice for that combo, but the stress meta has pushed it out of vogue. Intensity lets you have similar arc-dodge/token combos without the risk of getting double-stressed by Asajj. A 30-point Carnor with Intensity and Autothrusters (33 if you want Stealth/Hull) should be pretty solid in the current meta.

There's probably also a case for it on TIE Sabine, as it combined with her pilot ability effectivly gives her PTL for as long as she can keep flipping the card. Phantom Sabine will probably still want to stick with the PTL/Kanan combo since she already has the crew slot.

• Auzituck: 1
• TIE Aggressor: 2 (A third will depend on play-ability and upgrades)
• Scurrg: 1 (a 2nd will depend on play-ability and upgrades)

Arc dodgers (squints and TAPs in particular) need to be able to boost AND barrel roll or focus AND evade. No two ways about it.

Exactly. Any f-up's in these ships will be fixed in another release down the road. I learned my lesson with TIE Bombers and Defenders.

2 aggressors, 1 scurrg
