Avenger - 57 Points

VS

General Grievous w/ Crack Shot, Soulless One & Impervium Plating - 55 Points

How ironic. Well guess there's no other choice, up up up with Avenger

M can't carry an evade around, can't juke any more and naked is the same price as Plo Koon and is more expensive than Lulo or Ric O.

I mean.... Midnight, aka, "Lockdown", is an I6 with a decent dial and actions...

Even with nothing, she's at least got initiative over Lulo and Ric.

ok, this thread moves fast lol

as someone who's flown midnight a lot in both editions I actually quite like her in 2.0.

1.0 juke/comm relay was cancer. now she uses her action to lock a lot, and so it's basically a "nobody gets to mod their dice" ability, which I rather like. Snapshot, the ship.

she's just ridiculously expensive. if Midnight+Afterburners were about 10 points cheaper we'd see her all over the place.

Midnight technically exists

Put Null in the Silencer. And then make use of those 4 pt prime thrusters. You'll only catch him by blocking.

Aces shmaces.

depends on what you mean by "better"

and by that I mean "yes, pretty much no matter how you define better"

And that is the point, to get M to an acceptable level he is no longer a 'cheap' ace.

I do fly M on and off and he's not terrible, just a mild annoyance, like a mosquito. Most of the time just buzzes around, occasionally stinging you and once in a blue moon gives you malaria and you die.

With this weekend's continuing trend of abysmal FO performance-

As the generics are already almost as cheap as they can be for the SFs without gunner, and gunner having abysmal conversion and win rates on said generics, is anyone else anticipating that the cost of SF gunner will go down in January? That or actually cheaper FOTP is all I am expecting to be made cheaper in FO.

But with my luck they'll just buff Kylo, QD, and Tavson, dooming FO to be another triple-named-jousty-ace faction (Aka Trench Run)

Wow there's all these weird historical mysteries that seem to be coming to epic fruition as we speak. Let's:

A- Try and figure out even one thing about who's pulling the strings and causing these thing to happen

B- Help the hilariously evil people take over the world

C- Kill that girl!!!

No spoilers, but evil is just like your opinion man. From my point of view the Jedi are evil.

I've tried really hard to make Midnight work but haven't landed on anything yet. I think pattern analyzer is a bare minimum requirement and afterburners really opens up the options, but in the end her offense is just pitiful for what you invest in her, even at her base cost. She also wants nothing to do with list counts above three ships which is not a place to be right now.

I'm not sure how much SF gunner would have to come down to be worth equipping. It may make Quickdraw happy, but Backdraft doesn't want the card and I'll take an Advanced Optics equipped generic over the locked-front 3 die gun for the flexibility of both arcs being active and the consistency.

I don't think I run into enough situations where the bonus attack SF Gunner provides would be a thing, but maybe I need to pay more attention to that and I'd change my mind if they really slashed the cost.

The Australian Grand Championship had two FO players in the top 8 (4 Sear swarms, Ollie's squad & Trip Regen-n-Run I5 Republic).

It was cut-throat as we had players not turn up, dropping us from a top 16 to just under enough players.

I suggest you check your average FO performance vs other factions :p

Per ATC (http://advancedtargeting.computer/factions.html) as of 21:11 PDT on Nov 10, 2019: 3rd in Average Swiss (preceded by Empire [2nd] and Separatists [1st] ), 2nd in Cut rate (Seps are 1st), 4th in Win rate (dead middle, 3rd = Imps, 2nd = Pubbies, 1st = Seps). FO is flat out the least played faction though.

True.
Also...Sad.
X-Wing is a game of extra arcs or boost.

So, "Cut Win Rate" was actually added because I thought there was a bug somewhere in there BECAUSE of first order. How can FO make cut so often, but have such terrible tournament performance?

Answer: people shoot tavson/quickdraw in swiss, and they dont in the cut:

FO players are rare, only the dedicated players play (good and bad). The good dedicated players can make the cut because they know the list inside out.

But because there really is only a handful of better than average FO lists, everyone and their dog has practiced against these lists soo many times already that the other players in the cut have a natural advantage with experience.
