I mean, wasn't Sear swarm really popular? To say nothing of 7B.

Kylo is so **** good in this format now.

One of this is not out. Very much not out.

Ouch. You're right. I thought my app was showing Ion Torps in and not APTs?

But there they are.... APTs. ....

APT Kylo is my religion.

Oh, you mean Hyperspace, specifically? If so, yeah, I guess Republic folks will flounder and die off. Separatist loyalists are too financially invested to be allowed to leave, lol.

Also, why is everyone defaulting to Boba/Fenn ruling Hyperspace? Is it because it was already a meta presence and didn't change in price much?

It was already one of the best HS list and almost everything else just disappeared, go figure.

In HS republic is almost a brand new faction, in Extended lost some bid but it's probably fine.

Separatist are still good without Sear

W-w-w-wait a second.

So you're telling me that stock Vader is out, and Anakin is completely out, but Kylo Silencer is in?

His P-rockets and APTs are out, but otherwise he can still do all the things...

Look out, Boba.

Poe, keep dreaming.

And is anyone really gonna try a new Vader for hyperspace? Errr .... Maybe vanilla + swarm?

I like a lot of what you are saying on an emotional level.....

but Kylo isn't gonna have the bid on Boba-Fenn and Slave 1 is still in format. Poe gets Mag Pulse missiles.

Vader I'm not sure whats going to happen, but I imagine it'll involve a Deci or Mag-Pulse.

I'm going to continue to talk trash to the FO faithful out there until I'm proven wrong. And for all of you triple ace lovers who believe modern problems require modern solutions I hope I'm wrong.

That's force using maniac+ 4 (FOUR) shielded TIEs.

Three with Fanatical at I3.

And dumb, annoying, Giraffe.

there's a lot less moving after them or competing with them for bid, and what still does has lower offensive output

"force crew, uh, finds a way"

I dunno man, I'm actually not hating some of the Republic builds I've been coming up with. There is a TON of space in the 4 ship Republic space, spearheaded by Broadside as a very solid value piece.

sorry, that's not 3 aces, it can't be good. FO is going to destroy the game because they have ships that can choose to immediately die if they'd like to reposition twice, or something... tbh we all know holo is going to destroy the game and it's only a matter of time until someone finds out how

I've been struggling with FO to be sure, but they are fun, and you always know how the game will end quickly... and you can then grab another pint, so they've been really good? Holo... yes, finally something quirky for FO.

Kylo+holo+rush brings a good bid of 13 and I'm pretty sure they don't even need upgrades. Idk if rush is a meme yet though but he's interesting.

I have been having my most fun with a three silencer squad Kylo/Blackout/Recoil(+pred) and I think Rush I will certainly sub in somewhere. Heck, maybe even Holo if and when I get one in my hands. And I agree @SnooSnarry, I like Silencers fairly upgrade free, that way, you don't have to remember any triggers and focus on that sweet, sweet dial.

I mean, so does Quickdraw, right?

Toss that guy in there and forget the bid anyway.

Win, win.

(Yes, I'm emotionally venting. FO has been solid, and is now even better, and I'm like "weeee! My Recruits dropped a point!")

BTW... Res Transport is untouched except Leia came down 2pts. Autoblasters went up one, so my Cova build is only down 1 pt vs all my generic T70's went down 2+.

Tl;Dr: Transports are officially niche and not auto "take-one-of-these-right-after-BlackOne-and-before-any-other-t70" anymore.

All depends on the point of view, eh? If true though, you might have to fight for the FO faction prizes....

QD isn't in Hyperspace. Vonreg also gets mag pulse, so I guess you hope to get initiative and shoot Poe first? I still hope for your sake I'm wrong, because some of my best friends are FO players and I'd like to welcome them back to playing for real.

Yeah, I get that. I just think people are defaulting to what they know in a knee-jerk fashion.

I feel like, generally, the way to kill Fenn is to move before him, block and kill him. Then fly away from Boba, come around and range control joust him? Right? I guess I need to play it again to familiarize myself with it again. I just feel like new generic spam can handle that okay(ish).

I'm sure stuff will come out of Republic. I just also figure a lot of people won't know what to do without 7B and R2 for everyone and will bail.

I am currently, and have always been and will remain through the rest of my career, a rebel republic player. Not even a question. I don't know where these baseless accusations come from.

That's my thinking. It's not that Rep is bad now, but they lost so much people are gonna jump ship to greener pastures rather than try new things.

Your point about CIS players being too invested is probably true lol

If I breakdown and buy more plastic... err that lovely red one, I'll try (just for @Brunas and his dark and fun predictions):

Recoil w/pred, Rush, Holo, and Muse at a clean 200 pts.

Why Recoil? He's always the best die roller on the mat for me... Kylo hates my dice a slight bit more than Blackout.

..tea, it's kicking today.

No, no. Recoil, not Poe. Poe flies for the other guys.
