The winrates themselves are more interesting as far as I'm concerned.
There is no reason why one 4-2 should be counted as good and another 4-2 not. The specific MoV combination and tournament size for the cutoff have too much influence if we limit to conversion rates.

What are the downsides if wins and losses of Swiss rounds are used? In my opinion not more and/or worse than all alternatives I can think of.

While I think that (for now) the S-tier is probably decently refined, there is so much churn at the 4-2 level that the A-tier is probably murky at best. This is also coupled with that the difference between S-Tier and the rest is probably not has dramatic as 1.0 - so you are going to have large tournaments were Wedge fails and ones were he smashes through. Double Tap Dash for example seems like a real variance level list. It can just smash everything, but it also gets smashed really quick too. You can easily have players of equal skill go 5-1 and 2-4 with it. I agree that win rates are probably a better indicator than the conversion rate except for figuring out what is S-tier.

Points!

Hyperspace!

Yeah everyone looking at points, Hyperspace legal column added in now!

PANIC! SILENCER HAS TORPEDOES! KYLO CAN HAVE PROTON TORPS!

Edited by RStan

Rebels and Empire aren't invited to Hyperspace

as nature intended

Judging by the Scum column, Hyperspace is just 2nd edition for them and the full F/O and Resistance faction.

Empire are up, and yup, that's the case. (Includes the Wave 3 Striker too).

Oh no! What about my favorite ship from the movies, redline?

Now I have to come up with an Empire list that's not a TIE swarm.

...or I'll just fly SNR Primed Thrusters Kylo (aka Vader as he should have been).

But rebels get YT-1300 too I guess...?

I, for one, am outraged that FFG is continuing to ignore us long time punisher and 2400 fans!

I guess this is just another money grab from FFG.

😡😡😡😡😡

Have you heard the tragedy of Supernatural Kylo with a Proton Torpedo?

Ordinance of legend?

Its not a story the jedi would tell you...

Ah, Rebels get the Falcon, so they're not trapped with just X/Y/U for three waves.

So there's four large ships in Hyperspace and 3 are Falcons

Would you like to buy a falcon?

FFG would like you to.

Wait, am I blind? Where are the point costs for generic Tech upgrades? How much is Optics?

TIE Strikers were added to the Hyperspace format. Vader plus many of those seems interesting.

Seems some people are not seeing the updated pdfs as fast as others for some weird reason.

Adv Optics - 4

Pattern Analyzer - 5

Primed Thrusters - 8

Targeting Synchronizer - 5

Yeah I was wondering how best to do it. Either 3 I1's or a mix of Aces...

Vader, Duchess, two generics?

I'm ready to fly my 126 point Kylo

How long until Resistance players start asking for points increases for the upgrades that go on Poe?

Oops... guess I wasn’t an empire player all along...

RIP Empire, hello FO

I could've made a google form and collected factions to cross-compare if everybody who answers extended is an imperial player but that suspiciously resembles work

Is Vader + 3 Strikers the best Empire Hyperspace list?

I for one, am outraged that they chose a format that removes much of the NPE and will likely adjust points to help bring the rest into balance.
