oh, @Jeff Wilder it was good to actually meet you! Sorry we disappeared quickly, I didn't want to keep Mary bored in the X-Wing area, haha.

I'm not sure what tea you're drinking. Smug tea?

But, uh... man, many of us are really enjoying more models. So... same team?

Maybe a ceylon? It works well in the afternoon. Plus, smug is far to high priced for my taste and I haven't the stomach for it, it's too bitter.

More models are fantastic, I was pondering the out of game-state bonus of the designers pushing down generic prices. I just grabbed two more Fangs and are in need of an Interceptor. So....

Absolutely same team.

I think we're going to eventually get to a point where people realize they'd rather have more shots than block, because free calculates are a pretty good strategy...

Cheaper ships also can yield more shots typically though ya?

Boy am I glad to have missed the discussion of the past 4 hours! (e: that might sound worse than I meant, should be tongue in cheek)

That reminds me, two people in here had a bet for which would be a better meta, hyperspace vs extended. I don't remember who, but I don't think they ever defined what better means.

...You should probably figure out what better means, so you can actually have a bet!

If we could do that, that would be nice. @Sunitsa: what do you mean by hot mess, what do you consider to be a better meta, and what are good criteria to identify good/bad metas?

Blocking puts them in a known position and prevents repoing out. 1 extra shot is only better if you get to shoot.

Maybe the trend continues and X-wing is still fun despite a vocal minority of people trying to convince themselves it isn't?

Nah, if the 2.0 trend continued, this season would have to be more fun, balanced, diverse, and skill/decision-driven than any previous season in either edition.

Clearly we can't allow that to happen.

Oh man, she has the wifely power AND she now has an FO officer's hat?

You are under the complete control of the Order.

That is certain.

Your fate is sealed.

Welcome to the brotherhood.

If you want to prove me wrong, you’re gonna have to break your one rule (never scroll up) and that’s the point.

2 PerCo Firesprays seemed well equipped to deal with Boba. Fight fire with more fire.

Throwing 3 dice out the butt is the best BS in HS. Several of my friends have a different word in there.

Or even more dangerously, self blocking. Did that with a duchess + 5 strikers list because I still don't know how the **** to fly them proper. When in doubt runintoyoself

Fenn and Boba together can't take one down in one round, and Fenn is super not a fan of butt shots.

Am I the 1337 page?

Just tried out a Phasma plus fanatical five FO list. Lot of fun just throwing ships in all directions and having that fanatical active.

Probably still going back to generic plus one named Rebel lists though.

No problem at all, @Brunas, and very much likewise. In fact, it turned out that I caught an extremely fast-moving plague -- by Saturday night, I was in my hotel bed on a third of a bottle of NyQuil and I didn't move for 40 hours -- so I'm very hopeful that I didn't spread it to you guys. (If I did infect anybody, I am so sorry ... I swear I didn't know I was sick.)

Wait! I remembered the thing, I'm definitely doing it,

It's a little meaningless now though isn't it? Not just in the sense that all things are essentially random and without meaning, but also that the thing is no longer a secret, and ergo probably not worth hiding?
