Even without upgrades Kylo is a beast. And the ties can handle their own pretty well. over three games fanatical didn't trigger once however.

Petition to call Kylo without upgrades “shirtless Kylo” instead of the traditional jargon of “naked Kylo”.

Ben Swolo is when he's in the 83 - 120+ pts range. So that technically means that last year's Krayt Top 50 Invitational was won by the most talented Ben Swolo pilot. How fitting.

So a group blog of X authors, where each article has been written, then picked and discussed at by some of the other authors before publication?

That sounds awesome!

Ideally, however, the review would have to be blind (i.e. you review a text without knowing who was written it).

Also, ideally, it should have contributors from the different metas over the globe! The "US sphere" tends to run around in circles, around itself. The pods tend to be echo chambers of each other.

Oops! All I6's! Everyone post a variant of a squad of I6+ only ships within one of your factions!

It might be ok, actually. Several of these lists seem ok, Scum, Resistance and Empire are all not too bad.

I'm not sure that's necessary or practical. I don't think the purpose is to allocate scarce resources, just provide feedback.

From the perspective of someone who has reviewed technical writing as part of a day job, the world of writing about very specific topics is small enough that it's not really a secret who's writing it. Topic and style are huge indicators.

I do agree that more people from more areas of the globe would be ideal, but you take the writers and reviewers you can get.

I used to do this but with Dutch and airen and torps. It's priced out now, though.

The question on everyone's mind, TBH. Variance plays a large part, and initiative plays another large part. 8x TIE/fo means I1, which vs 5x I2 X-Wings is pretty bad news.

In other news, I3-4 might be more than a little bit relevant now.

On more chassis. Some chassis already proved their I3-4 worth via efficiency or abilities (B's once torps were up'd, FOTP, 4Lom, Dutch, Countdown, Jedi, etc.).

True. Also some (like KULBEE SPERADO!!) got directly buffed by a significant amount.

Curious what Kanan, Ezra, and Sabine could look like...
