Edit: I really like the SF, but I’m on the fence for buying another to run 5 with Fanatical optics. Anyone that can weigh in with experience (playing with or against) would be appreciated. 

I played 5 Zetas + ion missile + FCS before the last point adjustement and it felt quite good. You have little chance to lose one ship before it shoots and the retaliation salvo is strong. You consistently fire 3 dice with the missile.

Now that the generic SFs have decreased in point, I consider testing new builds like 5 Zetas + passive sensor + Homing missile or 5 Fanoptical Omegas.

1. Land on a rock every turn
2. Support ships are supposed to dial in blocking maneuvers right?
3. I have the force so I can do everything risky
4. Only play bad ships with me and wonder why I can't win a game
5. Fun new and exciting ways to hit rocks

FTFY

Thank you.

Where is Lando? Every time I look at him I think he's remarkable. And yet - barely seen. (e2: or is he?)

edit: answering my own question every time I look at him: he does get good offense with double mods, but defense is way more important and he can't improve that by too much. i5 and white boost gives him ways to arcdodge most but not all ships. On top of all that, he costs around 100pts and it's not easy to fit in two good ships next to him. He can't really play the support, but he has both not enough of a punch to be a glass cannon, nor enough resilience to justify his cost.

Such a weird position.

But.....

Im confident in saying that Lando is just good. Hes a better Braylen. Luke Lando Braylen seems 100% Hyperspace Grade "Fine".

that's good, because there was no way your opponent was going to kill anything.

Change my mind- you should only be able to link actions during your "perform action" step.

You have both beautiful minds that are perfect just the way they are

changed it for you

A failed linked action chain should fail the entire chain, not just the last action.

If you don't roll a hit, you actually flew over/under the obstacle

If you do roll a hit on an asteroid, it should be considered partially executed and the asteroid should be set adrift across the map at 1/2/3 speed/round depending on base size

**** I'm so out of the loop.... Rey?!

Nothing much other than being actually probably priced right instead of being overcosted. Fat Rey was already having some degree of success (it won a trial in my country, albeit it was an easy one), now not only she got better, but most other stuff got worse.

I've far from having a good setup for her since after Madrid I only played like 5 games, but she felt good with a core of Finn, Rose and title (which sadly is needed if you don't want to concede as soon as yoiu get panicked pilot). Contraband Cybernetic is also good.

What's also good is that now you can either play 3 As like Ablazoned said or 2 t70s (which is my personal preference).

While probably lacking a high ceiling like 5As but it's probably more consitent (and also probably will be far more played than As).

To expand on resistence list building and list building in general, one of the thing I always look into a list is make sure the "archetype" I end up building can't be better done in an another faction. For example Lulo 3 t70 is a fine list, but it's worse than Wedge+3 Bs while playing mostly the same game. Why play Poe/Nien/Ello when both Imperials and Republic have far better way to play 3 aces? And so on

I thought his text read, “You should equip the Rey gunner on this I6 Falcon.”

I must have missed something.

I welcome our new tractor beam meta.

Nothing says skill more than managing your flight path so that you can never get tractored into a cloud.

Bid to take initative so you can hide two of your opponent's clouds.

This solves literally all the "problems" in X-Wing.
