Wedge in a snowspeeder! new ept can just be called "good shot". Janson gunner when!

Kylo + Hask > Kylo + Tavson. Fite Mii. Sure, as a matter of principle, if you're really trying with Super Kylo, you're best off with 3 ships with 1 of them being either of the 3 dice I6. And if you're really trying with Kylo, you're probably investing into just the good chassis and not egregious tricks. But Lone Wolf + focus + occasional force + Deuterium is a hilarious tanky combo especially if teleporting torpedoes are flying around on a double digits bid. Might make for a good sithpost tournament list.

Real talk: is Snoke decent now? Intimidation Provacateurs are only 44 pt and have a far better blocking potential than Intimidation Omegas and are cheaper + talent than the Seinar Jaemus Engineers. In proxying, Malarus + 3 Jim seemed like a very, very solid alternative to Holo + 3 Jim, but it turns out officially you have 13 pt: an entire Snoke to fit. If you drop a Jim to an Intimidation Provacateur, you now gain 4 pt... definitely not insignificant. Proud Trad for defense on a stop on Malarus/Fanatical for purely passive full mods when deshielded or even just Angled Deflectors and always reinforcing and letting passive squad buffs do work seem good. Sure, you don't need Snoke/Sense if you "git gud" but in those Princess Bride mind games, sometimes it helps knowing that both goblets were poisoned. That and seeing not only a blocker but a perfectly informed blocker on the other end of the table does things to an opponent, even harder than Pyre. Upgrades like Pyre or blocking Snoke that are mostly bark and little bite pay massive dividends if the opponent pays too much attention to the annoying bark.

I just want Darth Smeagol to be good.

Random thoughts on all the stuff in the HMP expansion. TL:DR

-MMPs might see limited play with HMPs, but the lock requirement and lack of R3 kill them for most things vs Barrage Rockets

-Synced Cannons aren't bad for their cost, but few ships have double cannon and care about an attack 3 cannon

-Concussion Bombs are too expensive for how little control the player vs more consistent and cheaper options like Seismic and Proton

-Combination of stress + bullseye + once per opportunity kills Kalani for most lists

- HMP is solid and versatile with good time on target, action economy and upgrade slots although the 42pt limited one is vexingly overcosted.

Concussions are too expensive at 3?

Or do you mean that, at the end of the day, seismics are just comically better than all bombs, and are vastly undercosted? (so they're relatively too expensive when you can side-eye seismics at the same price?)

I legitimately thought they were 6. Alright, at 3, they're definitely good and, in my defense, despite thinking they costed 6, I did say in the video that they could be viable in the 3-4 range.

You're mixing up Ship Type (e.g. "TIE Interceptor") with Pilot Name (e.g. "Alpha Squadron Pilot") - Standardized affects all ships with the same Ship Type in a squad, not merely the same Pilot Name.

You right fam, thanks for the correction!

Terex is comically undercosted, change my mind.

3 turns of giving force to basically any of your ship, then jamming AT BLOODY R3 if you are lucky or getting a force if you aren't.

At 6 points.

Worth comparing to various Palps, maybe.

Hard agree.

K-2SO costs two more and you have to take a stress to get the calculate.

All hail the Spamterex meta.

Is the package deal on the Xi overcosted, though? Generic shuttle is enough that I can’t imagine bringing it without him, so the Shuttle + Terex total is what matters.

If you had to pick one hyperspace list to play on game night from each faction right now what would it be?

• First Order: Holo PT + France + Hask T-Rex + Rivas + Ep
• Rebels: Han + Luke + RZ1A + RZ1A
• Empire: Vader + Duchess + Baron + Baron + Baron
• Separatists: Maul Title + Grievous + Nantex + Nantex + Nantex
• Resistance: Poe R4 Overdrive Thrusters + Bastian + Rose + Colossus + Colossus
• Republic: Obi + Plo + Arc-170 + Dedicated Clone + Dedicated Clone
• Scum: Fenn + Cookie + Bossk + Lando + Syck

46 points for hask and terex seems pretty great to me, what else could you play at that cost for fo? A tie/ba, which is arguably worse, then what?

I would be very sad to play rebels or empire in hyperspace right now

Well... er...

FO- something nippy and basic, all Silencer + BA.

Rebel- ??. Luke? VCX?? Um. Jake?

Empire- Vader, Feroph, Baron, Baron.

CIS- Grievous, DBS-404, fill with FrisbeeVulture nonsense.

Resistance. Rey, X-Wing, something else.

Republic. Plo, Warthog, 2x Squad Seven.

Scum- 2x Bounty Hunter, 2x Scyk.

I'm enjoying bigger bases atm.

To be fair, everything that isn't 6x Nantex is pretty sad in hyperspace right now.

And is systems phase. If outflown, the calculate you dished out in systems might end up worthless. Terex is start of engagement phase, where you know the complete board state.
