Carolina Krayts is the best X-Wing podcast

also, holy crap, missiles are CHEAP!

Cluster Missiles 5 (still probably too much, these suck)
Concussion Missiles 6 (woo!)
Homing Missiles 3 (explains the crap functionality)
Ion Missiles 4 (sure?)
Proton Rockets 7 (for 5 dice, sign me up!)
Barrage Rockets 6 (sure!)

So...

70 Vader
12 Super
8 Afterburner
3 FCS
7 Proton Rockets
100 Total

Run him with Brath for a truly ridiculous 2 ace list.

Well I guess if Vader is about half a list with at least SuperReflexes, Afterburners and FCS makes me feel a bit better with seeing his base cost lower than I thought.

It's cool that the smallest most, agile ships (A-Wing, Fang, TAP) don't have mod slots at all (conveniently precluding Afterburners).

Han Solo (Scum) gunner is 4 points? That seems really under priced for the action efficiency.

TIE Swarm math:
Howl + Iden + 5 academies leaves you with 5 points (not enough for Del Meeko or any of the +1 attack die TIEs)
6 named TIEs is workable in most configurations

? Iden Verso Up Up Up! ?

Gunboats got a de-facto price cut with the configurations both being free and most ordnance/cannons getting a price cut. It's possible to run 5x Nus with Ion Cannons now (35 Nu, 0 XG-1, 5 Ion). Also they picked up a system slot?!

7 TIE swarm looks like the most obvious list to beat, but what else are people seeing?

Things I've noticed so far are

5 K-Wings (naked)

4 K-Wings with Bomblets, Homing Missiles, and 2 points of crew on each

4 Rhos with HLC, Crackshot, Afterburners (probably bad but I'd like to try it)

RIP Triple Ghost

RIP Quadruple Jumpmaster

Palpatine is almost the cheapest Force crew (13 vs 12 for Seventh Sister or Fifth Brother) which really surprised me. I suspect that bakes in a discount for the opportunity cost of using up 2 crew slots?

They also got a massive nerf in no LRS/guidance chips, and all the cannons are so fair now.

Makes me feel a lot less bad for Fel costing the same as Fenn.

Have we talked about how cheap these Chad Lambdas are? I thought they would get a decent points increase but the OGP its only 43 and Kagi is 48.

Yeah the Lambdas are priced and have abilities/bars that make me wonder why I'd ever take a reaper...? Red turns on a medium base + jam nerfs kinda kills them in 2.0 :(

I'm ready to whine against Palpatine once again. 13 points for global focus with perfect knowledge of rolls in the modifications deprived xwing 2 is a joke.

Elites, modifications, systems, droids and ordnance range from bad to really bad. I'm pretty positive that other than afterburners and some specific combo, you would probably be better off playing ships without crew/gunner slot without further upgrades.

Crews and gunners are spicy thought. Han solo is a steal as probably is Maul considering Fifth Brother is just one less point.

A Kagi Palp shuttle, Vader, and Soontir list was the first thing I put together with these points lists. I cant wait to just shout "Muh theme" at people all day.

Duchess is cheap... cheaper than countdown?? And outmaneuver is pretty cheap, so that seems like a good pairing?
