Can confirm that Seventh Fleet Gunner is pretty fun on Broadside that Ioned an enemy ship in the previous turn for Luminara to line up her CLT for the 5 dice attack via 7th Fleet at range 1 plus CLT.

I don't know if this is anything, but I just noticed that this squeaks in at exactly 200 points:

Plo Koon (44)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Ship total: 48 Half Points: 24 Threshold: 2

"Broadside" (36)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Seventh Fleet Gunner (9)

Ship total: 50 Half Points: 25 Threshold: 4

104th Battalion Pilot (42)
Seventh Fleet Gunner (9)

Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 5

104th Battalion Pilot (42)
Seventh Fleet Gunner (9)

Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 5


Total: 200

Hilariously, the Jedi is actually the least expensive ship in the whole list

That's actually the problem, which is really frustrating. Your ARCs are going to die while giving plo his third attack die, but when they die they'll give up 51 points instead of 42. Meanwhile, plo, who probably isn't going to die most games, only preserves 48 points.

So who's going to be the first to use an Armada ssd as a Chad raider?

For sure, and I've learned the hard way how fast ARCs can burn down.

So it turns out that CLT Obi-wan is the same # of points as a 104th w/ Seventh Fleet Gunner, so this also fits:

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 2

Plo Koon (44)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Ship total: 48 Half Points: 24 Threshold: 2

Seventh Fleet Gunner (9)

Ship total: 50 Half Points: 25 Threshold: 4

104th Battalion Pilot (42)

I feel like this has a bit more promise. Going to take this to the next couple store nights and see if I can get any mileage out of this.

If I owned one, it'd be the scariest GR-75 this side of Dantooine

You mean point defense reroute? SSDs the only place where it makes sense I guess. No idea why you'd want to play it as a flotilla though...

So you can run two SSD models. Why wouldn’t you flotilla that?

Using a model over 2 feet long on a 3 foot table is step above Chad...probably a Kyle

Man, Countdown is a good jouster, but if his ability just took strain instead of stress...No dainty 1v1 jousting, just straight up charging and not giving a care about mobile arcs.

You could run it as a Victory-Class for a scenario, maybe? Just have it stationary, have the rebels assault it. You could probably use SSD stats from armada with changes to attack dice/weapons, and the different hull zones.

@Brunas Have you tried not being bad at FO?

Why are you putting upgrades on Scorch besides Crackshot or Lone Wolf?

literally all of those pilots outperform scorch. By a lot.

Scorch finishes in the bottom 40% of lists on average. He's the most played pilot to be anywhere near that bad.
