Alright boys- This weekend, we go fight the ROBOTS

Unless we get more than 6 people, then we fight the OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE SECRETLY ROBOTS BUT LOOK LIKE PEOPLE

Team comp is irrelevant, we can adjust missions to match.

Who is up for games this weekend? As above, MVM or becoming an entire half of a pub works. What times work for people?

Quoting this again to remind people. Also, I developed the advanced memgineer.

Also relevant: I keep opening a new tab and reflexively clicking news, even if I just closed that tab. Its a problem.

I'll be able to join you guys on Sunday. I can't game tonight or tomorrow though, because my brother's in a play this weekend.

also, Arcon got taken over by a swarm of people, and I couldn't keep fighting them off so I'm in the server Ulex if anybody is free to play Istrolid

What flavor of Memegineer?

Revingineer is my favorite in pubs. I have a feeling Gokugineer will work in MVM.

Widowmaker + Pistol + Gunslinger. Upgrade the Widowmaker completely, then get speed, HP regen and resistances. I had the third highest damage with this, and came in halfway though a game.

I'll be on for the next hour and a half. I'm going to do a bit more of the campaign before trying multiplayer

speaking of games...

anyone try these?

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock

Invisible Inc

I'm going to loose what little sleep I already get to Battletech right away...but have been wondering about those two as well...

Ah, good! I've unfortunately got a lab to go to, but if they kick me out for wearing sandals, I'll let you know. Otherwise we can try to play next week (since I've got stuff/TF2/homework all weekend...)

And honestly, you probably don't need my help. I'm not very good and there's plenty of people playing the game who will help you out.

Can't wait for this! It even has Arcs to!

Also, since my classmates and professors seem to all be busy smoking things that are legal in Colorado, I'm super bored and feel like adding some "content".

We've got the Reaper and Saw's soon, and the probably some Solo tie-ins (the TIE Heavy and the Falcon), but what about after that? What is each faction missing, and what does the game need?

Scum - needs another shuttle. The best options are the Ark Angel and the Blastboat, which, nicely enough, would also be dual-faction Imps/Scum, which there seem to be disturbingly few of.

Rebels - need a heavy fighter with Reload (like the GUNBOAT and Kimo). Maybe an aces pack that lets the B-Wing and K-Wing fill that role? Like a title that goes on both B-Wings and K-Wings, removes cannon and turret slots, adds a torp and a missile slot, and adds Reload?

Imperials - actually I'm pretty happy right now. Is there anything you guys would like? I guess technically the Imps could use a fat PWT large base thingy. I just don't really want one for my Imperials - I'd rather spam Defenders and GUNBOATS any day.

@Kieransi

Scum - Another solid but not overpowered small base arc in the 30-40 pt range.

Rebels - Good A-Wings or B-Wings that together replace Miranda as the best Rebel ship

Imperials - The Tie Reaper is all I ever wanted

Scum - I'm a huge supporter of an Ark Angel. Especially with the maniac droids, Aphra...dual cards. lots of fun. could be like the H-6 expansion where Aphra is dual faction, but the rest are scum.

Rebels - B-wing with reload for sure. I would love that. If Reinforce gets an errata I would like to see the B's get it as well. I desperately want the RZ-2 from LTJ tho.... can't ever have enough A-wings.

Imperials - I would love to see Interceptors get more use. but not sure how to get them back in the game...

Huh... Which one is that? Looks like a vastly improved MechCommander. I also find myself staring at the 'mech trying to identify the type from the micro graphic. Kinda looks Jagermech, but the arms aren't quite right.

This?

Continued X-Wing thoughts, venturing down the casual path... If one were to use Janson and Wedge together... is it better to go double PS10, or PS9 with Wedge getting passive mods?

Advantages/Disadvantages

• PS10 combo is cheaper, at 61 points for the two with Flight Assist Astros and Integrated Astro.
• PS9 can have Wedge with Expertise, which would be particularly nasty, at 64 points for the two
• The meta is going to be weird now with that alternate format... PS9 Fel is worth bringing, as is Kylo. That bump looks pretty important
• I'm also expecting a PS10/11 Poe, just because I know a guy who likes to fly that...
• While I'd like to win, it's not essential - thus Wedge/Janson in the first place...

Yes, that. Hideous, isn't it? Like a Firespray was rammed by a Jumpmaster. I'd like to see a Dr. Aphra in the game as a crew card, not sure about... that thing.

this comes out on the 24th and is called "Battletech"it is by the original table top and lore designers. they borrowed assets from Mechwarrior online. Was a kickstarter for 2 years (maybe 3) originally as a skirmish game but quickly evolved into a full blown campaign with online multiplayer. preliminary streams and reviews have been very good.

It's a turn based strategy, looks awesome. I'm pretty pumped. Especially since Battletech was my intro into mini-games (only played Battletech, Mechwarrior, MTG, and now FFG Star Wars ________ for nerd games tho) and from the beta test it played well.

Yeah, I’m probably flying the 61 point ps10 for worlds. Flight assist title TLT Gold and Rex works out to an even hundred.

Wedge does really good work at 30, putting more points on him makes him just more of a target and ps9 is out there enough that going to 10 is worthwhile.

Pair them with something that puts out a decent amount of damage or has annoying control elements, and you have a very solid squad in the last-heaver-win style (obsolete, but decent).

Wedge with passive mods. I think Expertise Wedge with FFA is a thing of beauty, and unless you can reliably feed him a passive mod (M9G8) or a second action (Co-ordinate or Airen) then I think he's not dangerous enough for his fragile nature.

I would do PS9 Wes with Expertise Wedge. I've been tempted to try it in the real world, but worried about sinking 60%ish of my list into two T65's right now.

Alternate format?

Yup. Can only fire from the forward arc, no secondary weapons can fire. Should be fun, but I expect a lot of x7 Defenders mucking things up. We'll see if people are that smart... (I hope not)

I do have Tarn with M9G8 with full intention of locking up Wedge as well... the problem is that leaves points for a blocker if I go PS10 (Zeb TIE, or Z95) or a pretty big bid at PS9. Obviously either has advantages.

Tarn is too much fun with M9-G8. Make people re-roll all the things.

Rebels still don't have a ship with native boost and barrel roll. They also don't have a 3 attack die ship with native boost and barrel roll.

Scum needs a new anchor or efficiency boost after losing attanni and the jmk.

Imps could maybe use a heavy bomber, but not sure if we want more of those

34 minutes ago, Wiredin said:

yes

I would totally consider playing Scum if I could use a ship that could deploy a Vader Tie Advanced.

Is Jabba on a cheaper 2 crew ship heavy enough to be an anchor?
