people discovering kylo has once charge of supernatural reflexes from tavson across the board has a 100% success rate of causing annoyance so far

Biohex Tavson is great.

Step 1: Lock Kylo Turn 1

Step 2: Yolo in the opponents general direction

Step 3: Tavson Coordinate, Panic Disengage before anything engages

Also is hugely valuable against other aces. Biohex is a legitimate part of my strategy against Jedi and other stuff, they really dont like to get jammed while they are regen running away and being chased by Kylo.

And the mid combat rangeless jam or coordinate from Dr. Tavson is extremely helpful to. Take damage, lock, jam/coordinate. Tavson doesnt always have shots so there are opportunities to do this. Turr style Reposition during combat is actually relevant. I just wish there was an obstacle that did automatic damage to ships that hit it and still allowed you to shoot like clouds.

Also worth mentioning that Kylo UU can take two copies of Biohex for more layers.

Anyone know why @Jeff Wilder's podcast thread got closed to further comments? There didn't seem to be anything negative there whatsoever.

I've asked the mods. No response so far. Prevailing theory is "just a mistake."

The only negative comments I saw were towards the official app but that’s nothing new

First they came for the collusion thread, and I said nothing because I am not a collusion thread

I think Brunas just gave me my first non-ironic, non-douchey Confused react.

Let's be clear, we tried to kill that collusion thread for a bit.

What... is the topic?

Looking for Examples of "Ace" + Squad Squads ( Ace + 3-6 ). Its a very general archetype.
Basic Definition is ( End Game Ace/Flanker + Squad ) where the list mostly exists in a loose formation or completely out of formation, though it can opt into being a box.
The more individual pieces can stand on their own the better. Sometimes points allow 1-2 or more Aces to be in the Squad part of the list.

• FO:
  • Kylo + QD + Scorch + Rivas/Longshot/Null
  • Kylo + BD + Scorch + Longshot etc.
  • Sense Kylo + Scorch + Longshot + Epsilon + Epsilon
  • QD + 3-4 variants
• Republic:
  • Obi + Ric + 3 Torrents
  • Obi + Ric or Arc + 2 Arcs
  • Obi + 5 Torrents
• Resistance:
  • Poe + AAA
  • Poe + AAA + Finn
  • Poe + Fin + 2
• Rebels:
  • Luke + Wedge + Arvel + Jake
  • Luke + Wedge + B + B
  • Luke + Wedge + Thane + 1
  • Luke + UUU
  • Sense Luke + B + ZZZZ
• Empire
  • Vader Burners + Howl + Iden + 2x Carls
  • Juke Whisper + 4 Strikers
  • Soontir + Duchess + 3 Alphas/Sentinels
• Scum
  • Fenn + 3 Cartel Executioners
  • Fenn + 3 Cartels + 2 Z95s
  • Fenn + 2 Vipers + Stuff
• Separatist
  • Griev Kraken + Soul + Impervium + Bomber ESC Probes + 4x ESC Vultures

Generally these dont have a Big base as part of the "Squad" but that doesn't mean there arent examples that do.
Not just looking for 4-5 Ship lists. A little more specific than that I guess.

Proven or theory, @Boom Owl? Spam here or your inbox?

@Boom Owl Maul + 5 ESC Vultures or 3 Delayed Prox Bombardment Hyenas are both fun options for CIS that I’ve flown.

Bit of both. Here is cool. Doesnt need full upgrade details. There so many possible combinations because its such a general archetype. Though some factions clearly are allowed to do it better than others.

This sorta shows which versions are actually used/proven.

Kylo/2SF/Rivas (196)
Kylo Ren — TIE/vn Silencer	76
Hate	3
Pattern Analyzer	5
Ship Total: 84
Half Points: 42 Threshold: 3
 	
Zeta Squadron Survivor — TIE/SF Fighter	32
Special Forces Gunner	10

Lieutenant Rivas — TIE/FO Fighter	28
Ship Total: 28
Half Points: 14 Threshold: 2

The SF's can take a beating to help Kylo get to the end game. Rivas is just fun, and for 2 more than a Cadet he's worth running a lower bid.

I have a pretty defined bias, but I think Resistance is completely plug and play with the introduction of the transport and pods. Poe + 3A is solid and known. Poe + Cova(Leia) + 2 and Poe + Finn + 2, which seem like the logical starting points with the new stuff, can be so varied, I'm not sure if one could try all of those permutations. Unltimately, Poe + 3 whatever hodgepodge someone wants to put together can probably end up decent to good.

That said, and I know you're not asking this question @Boom Owl, I think Resistance is mid-tier for this archetype. Republic and Empire definitely do it better, and FO probably does it better as well. People running Poe should probably be looking at astromechs other than the default R4, because the prevalence of Sense is making Poe's life hard.

Dang conspiracy nuts popping up everywhere.

I prefer the more likely scenario. Mods saw the wall of text. "TLDR, they must be insulting each other. Lock the thread."

I don't know how you explain this thread surviving then. They clearly know the community thinks you're insane and ignores everything discussed herein.

Is it easier to build now that you know the definition of ace?
