Are you willing to share your list you've been playing with? Or is it secret until your local Regional?

It's not good enough to be secret! (I'm also not the type to keep such things secret, regardless.)

The reason it has the name it does, and the reason I started flying it (100% true) is that I abso-@#$%in-lutely love the paint-scheme a local painter did for me. I was willing to accept a little bit of questionable inefficiency in exchange for the sheer aesthetic joy of seeing those models on the table.

... And then I started winning with it. Against everything.

Its beautiful. The Thweek is Dead. Long Live The Thweek. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to drop something to get to 97 pts?

Thank you

Looks really fun.

I'm convinced I can make some sort of Imperial Ion/Tractor list work... it's a process hah.

I could reasonably drop the Contraband Cybernetics on Thweek. I only use it on maybe one-third to one-half the games.

But, if I'm being honest, making a bid at all kinda hurts my soul. (If you knew how much I am tempted to throw Seismic Torps on Thweek, you'd laugh and laugh ... )

I have found that if I lose init, I can almost almost find a non-PS Mimic that's worthwhile. In two games I won on Sunday, I lost the init roll both games, and both games I Mimicked Omega Leader, which was very effective, even at PS 4!

I can appreciate that. I was suggesting the bid more so you can get the most out of that Cruisin USA lifestyle.

Haven't used a list without Cruise Missiles since they came out...so I'm a bit bid addicted.

Cruisin Talonbane is pretty awesome. If they close the gap you just shoot 5 dice anyway like a boss.

Also...Thweek Leader....the dream! Only thing that rivals that is the Thweequisitor.

And then -- and then! -- 4- or 5-K and shoot the Cruise anyway with full mods. (Mindlink for Focus, Cybernetics for TL.) I love Contraband Cybernetics so, so much. Probably the best Illicit in the game, and still flying under the radar.

seriously though, for Fenn+Ghost, if I want to put together some sort of research team into beating this list/to get it down to a science, what's a good platform to use for that? Google docs? Discord?

New krayt bounty- help figure out how to consistently beat Fenn+Ghost.

Discord is a good place for people to chat and figure it out or even organize vassal games to test out ideas. And then maybe a google doc to record findings and have that as a living document.

First step, recognize that Fenn-Lothal is the stronger list, and look for a way to beat that. If you can beat Fenn-Lothal, you won't have any issues with the Kanan version.

I meant fenn+ghost- I keep mixing up Kanan and Fenn's names.

There are a lot of nuances to cancer

Is there a rule against just reaching down and removing one of my own ships from a game?

When it' time to make sure my opponent knows I don't have any faith in his ability....can I just pluck a ship from play and consider it destroyed?

Don't know about taking a ship off the table....but I used to do something like this with crew in practice or casual games when playing with RAC/Kylo & Whisper.

Basically at the start of the game I would tell my opponent that I was ejecting Palp and Kylo because they were deemed unnecessary.

Thinking back I should have had the guts to just remove RAC from play.

Alright, let's see if we can figure out how to beat this. I'll move it to a private doc or the like if requested.

I'll make an alt-art card set with whatever pilots/upgrades that we deem the best solution and distribute them to anyone that put in work on this.

I got halfway through that Google doc ,but then I found it difficult to masterb......it was to long,did not read.

Krayts on top on bottom?

What is the process for being known as a remote Krayt? Is there a system?

Win something meaningful and proclaim Krayts on Top seems to be the accepted route.

I won a game of catan against family once. Maybe I should have started shouting Krayts on top then...

Krayts are like stray cats. You don't adopt them. They adopt you.

More accurately, win something and don't say you aren't a krayt before we can claim you as ours.

No successes so far, sorry.

Only way out is to win worlds and renounce yourself.

What happens when someone aligns themselves with a dead podcast before you claim them? THINK OF THE EDGE CASES!!! Edit: I also don't know if the second bit even matters to me, seeing as I live in a place with next to no meaningful tournaments nearby.

I agree

Thweek was never alive. Is the joy dead?

Unrelated. What other minis games do people enjoy, bonus points if they're skirmish based or typically last under 90 minutes.
