Oh, agreed. Most of the time an hour passes without losing a ship means either the players are circling the map or fortressed in the corners.

Part of the reason I love flying deadeye Rhos. One of us will definitely get wiped off the board, usually pretty fast. And I have to worry about my arc, but SLAM firing missiles goes a long way if you set up the lock in a prior turn.

Dear Krayts, I’m not stuck in here with you, you’re stuck in here with me? I can find some cards and read them aloud to you if I’m not being wholesome enough already.

MEME FORMAT FOR CORUSCANT BOYS

MEME FORMAT BEST FORMAT

Have any of you guys tested out Threat 5 lists that will be available for the 2.0 events at GenCon? I know everyone is joking about it being a Supernatural Vader event, which I believe, just wondered if anyone actually tried it yet.

Also, I thought I heard somewhere that 2.0 event attendees will get tickets to pick up stuff from the booth? Like in a tweet somewhere? I dove into FFGOP and FFG Twitter feeds and couldn't find a confirmation.

Has there been any real news about OP kits for the release of 2.0?

Just the Kyayt ones I've made for aussies.

Tried out my jank list... It’s ok, shuts down predator and target locks nicely, but I flew terrible, bumped and took bad risks. I won in the end but it was me flying a Uwing vs an Xwing in the end...

Think GenCon I’m settling on 3X2Y. That was fun to fly last night, even if my opponent mistakenly jousted me.

I won't be playing at gencon, for a fee (hugs) I will stand over your shoulder and scream at people to joust you.

I'm the same status as this ^ for gencon except of standing over shoulders screaming, I can provide xwing players with my wife's chocolate chip cookies she's making to bring to gencon. Maybe we can bribe them with cookies to joust you?

Come to the joust side, we have cookies!

So, probably getting back to yoloing 2.0 games starting this week, any requests for lists? If not I'm just going to play only supernatural vader and everyone is just going to have to deal with it.

Is it worth proving people wrong about 5x? Like 5x Vs. 6/7 TIE ****?

Try Advanced Sensors Bomblet Genius Nym. See how bad it is on a medium base vs. normal 2.0 stuff

The timing for advanced sensors doesn't really work anymore, since you're dropping bombs before anyone activates.

Hmm? I missed this somehow. Do bombs drop at the start of the activation phase now?

Then just do Genius Bomblet Nym. It'll still be sort of busted

System phase, I think. Bombs drop after dials are set and before activation.

That's pretty cool actually. Makes bombs more of a low-PS thing, so my Imperial TIE Bomber Squadron might actually hit pretty hard now. With Nimble Bomber, they can set up a pretty impenetrable bomb wall.

It is linked in the Second Edition product page, dated today.
