Also its 100% terrible.

But it does give U-Wings 1 bank sloops and 1 speed k turns.

Based on math and science. Yes. The key is you never use pivot wing because you dont have to.

Exact opposite of a potato.

It was the greatest dumb meme ever, but the verbiage of the original thread was too perfect.

This confuses me. If he re-rolls, doesn't he turn off Expertise? So ... isn't the utility of re-rolls a pretty small percentage of attacks?

If you roll some focuses, you flip them first, then Maul. Hopefully you hit(which you should have good info on before you stress yourself), and have expertise ready for the next shot.

From what he told it is 60/40 maul vs k4.

With Maul you can keep your dial open (sloop+barrel roll for example). You can mod both shots, and if you have focus, you can always spend that for dice rerolled by maul.

Also if someone stresses you, you may drop that stress if you hit.

I agree with @Tlfj200's name selection for his son. Strong name, we made the same decision just about 6 years ago.

Look looks cool to me but you could get a lot more value from a cruise missile or harpoon on Vader because he is already a beast at range 1 with the auto crit, and idk how much you want advance homing missile but perhaps those points can be better spent as I don’t see them being that effective these days, just my opinion

The thread is beginning to reach near final form wholesomeness. While the rest of the forums are talking about PS Wars, Ghosts, and the End of Days...Here you find X-Wing baby name discussions and U-Wings. There is even an Advanced Homing Missile build that looks like it might reliably beat Timewalk Assaj.

On a Separate Note because the last 10 minutes of this weeks episode genuinely brightened my day....I propose using this general format for rants about things going forward to remain consistent. It works just as well with Thweek, Harpoons, High Pilot Skill, and Kylo Silencer, as it did Gunboats.

"_____!!"

"_____ is to good for this sinful world"

"_____gets a bad wrap because people are bad at xwing"

"It is a gift to all people who love playing xwing"

"Everyone is so bad at this game they cant dodge the arc of _____"

"if you lose to _____ its probably your fault...its straight up learn to play xwing"

"Its not the _____"

"its 100% you"

"unirronically git gud"

"i will fight everyone of you"

"what was the casual player playing when he was complaining about _____? Was it a turret regen list?"

"my dice were so bad"

"we dont want to be mean here but git gud"

"the idea of going to tournaments makes me sad"

I'm not good enough to say you can't make it work. It feels... as though you'd need to be "not bad" to do well with the list as Vader is unforgiving of mistakes. The gunboats are a little more forgiving, but very 'interesting' to fly. With only 2 you don't easily alpha something off the board, so you're back to skill trying to line up a second salvo, or you're coming in from different angles and just popping shots hoping you don't lose a piece before you thin the numbers a bit.

Dang it. So Toronto Regional with pre-nerf Genius/Trajectory Sim. Nationals next month and it looks like Fenn/Ghost. Yep... I'm not flying that. I'm just about back to "Don't care" zone and mildly fascinated by 4 generic TIE Phantoms with Courier Droids and Collision Detectors... Maybe Guidance Chips. Just because. Maybe some Sabine flying a TIE Fighter just so I can say "yes, I brought Sabine in my list" to make it sound like I made the right decision.

Grumble mutter curse curse....

Dude, if you can kill Fenn, Sabine TIE Fighter should (slowly) cause all sorts problems for a Ghost.

Nah, wrong Sabine.

Sabine on lots and lots of drugs is the best Sabine.

Edit: if Sabine is going to have four stress tokens, you might want Gyros on there too.

It'll be like tabling people with FSR2 all over again. I'll just throw dice and hope variance pushes enough through while simultaneously avoiding any damage you can do back to me.

No. The answer to that is just no. If I have to go out and buy a YV-666, I'm flying those two ships properly with Asajj. By the by, Stressbug and Fenn were hilarious versus those two. Yeah, I lost by 4 points, but the stack of stress following those two ships around was truly stunning.

Sorry, maybe my sarcasm was missed. Shadowcaster Sabine is definitely the worst Sabine, even less useful than TIE Fighter Sabine.

It was caught as a joke, but the level of sarcasm desired was probably unfairly interpreted.

Sabine Tie fighter won a store champ. Even if you scrub out she's a blast to fly.

Oh crud. Now there's unfair levels of achievement to compare myself to. Dang it, off to find a worse ship. Leebo it is.

Did they really just make the Ghost tougher?

Weapons Disabled token? The ghost won't ever take that card.

True. Thank you. Also, it's in the planning phase before dials are down, so it's all good.
