I gotcha covered.
Statistically speaking Hyperspace is 19% less of an NPE than Extended. + or - 2 Standard Deviations.

You used Sanghelli as reaction images, so I guess I'm forced to Like.

This is an acceptable first post of page 1500

at this point you're just trolling

5A in extended?!

Surely you jest.

Cannot take seriously:

• 7x Baron (definitely underpriced but how the nonsense is that NPE?)

• 5A (come on, surely you know better)

• Trip Empire Variant (so now if it has 3 ships and is in the Empire faction, it's inherently NPE? RIP Turr/Deci/Defenders/Lambda/Reaper...)

Agree with Nantexes, triple Jedi, Boba, and Wooks. Still.

Also yea your 100% correct, only 1 5RZ2A at GSP Worlds #1, although some hero did bring 4RZ2A with 4 copies of Prockets and 4 copies of Heroic which is just about the coolest most heroic way to RZ2A imaginable.

I don't always RZ2A but if I did it would be 1-2 of them in a 5-7 ship list with some X-Wings, Fireballs, and Pods or a 4 Ship Procket list.

Zizi Tlo + Heroic + Proton Rockets + Advanced Optics
Tallissan Lintra + Heroic + Proton Rockets + Advanced Optics
L'ulo L'ampar + Heroic + Proton Rockets + Advanced Optics
Greer Sonnel + Heroic + Proton Rockets + Advanced Optics

Bonus Content: There were 9 5RZ2A used last time I checked VL#10.

The NPE %s do not reflect my opinions. They are based on a statistical survey of public opinion. And yes the entire extended Empire faction is an NPE.

Either way fixed:

Wait, who is calling 7 Barons NPE?

The Last Jedi is the only good sequel movie

Who hasn't?

The Empire Strikes Back is the only decent Star Wars movie.

This but completely unironically.

Miranda should be in the next hyperspace rotation.

Next on the Krayt thread: are Krayt Dragons really dragons?

Maybe, if you count Komodo Dragons dragons. Or if you count wingless Wyrms like Morgoth's buddy Glaurung of the First Age dragons. But if you go by 6-limbed winged lizards, then the answer is no. Interestingly, that typical-but-not-universal criteria of 6 limbs makes Kalameet the cooler dragon of videogames in 2011 over Alduin, mainly because Alduin having only 4 limbs makes him a wyvern, not a dragon. Except Tamriel defines its wyverns as dragons, so whatever.

Are the Carolina Krayts even Krayt Dragons? It's not in their name. 1500 pages of posts and they haven't clarified this.

I mean, I'm not saying Seven Barons Bouncing isn't a decent squad, but literally this is the first time I've read any potential complaints about it.

****

Anyhow, does this mean they *shouldn't* buff the RZ-1?

Hrm... Naw, it should still get buffs... at 27 for a Phoenix, 29 for a Green, you can't get 7 Greens, and 7 Phoenix is only Init 1, so can't out-ace anyone.

Depends on the bid

7 Barons is a B-tier list just like basically any efficiency swarm outside of Separatists. It's somewhat better at keeping guns on target than some other similar lists (Sycks, TIE/fos) and higher initiative than normal, but the ships don't hit that hard and die just like anything else. If the Barons' green dice are hot then it's not going to be fun to fly against, but that's true of a lot of things.

I dunno... without linked rolls or init kills, I'm not sure I'd classify it the same way.

I guess my point is that even if 7 Barons were a problem (still something of an *IF* that hasn't been clearly established... could go either way), 7 Phoenix A-Wings have enough limitations that they probably wouldn't be a problem.

Is init killing a key part of being an ace?

Arguably awings can double repo while barons cannot. They might be more of an ace?
