so much fun to coordinate a ps1 boost/br to vader or inq, and to cancel a blank to deal 1shield damage!

also those ps1 jams, or coordinating a focus before vader 4ks

Edit: also, change TacOf to Kylo. Or change it tk intelligence agent and change inq into a cheap QD with VI and FCS.

They aren't going to KO themself.

Like everyone else is picking the wrong characters? The tricky characters are kinda stupid broken, yeah?

Tricky characters have always been broken, right back to boo & paratrooper on the 64.

To alleviate the risk of being moved back to off topic, jesus **** Krennic is hilariously busted, I love it. Optimised prototype does have a good acronym.

Well, I spent all my wife points and probably overdrew a little. 4pm Imperials (and Gencon Thursday) here I come!

Will I be able to flex in my Krayt running shirt by then?

Also, what’s the motorcycle parking like at the convention center?

Re: motorcycle parking, where are you coming from. Gencon is motorcycle distance for me but the quality of road along the way makes it a no no. Indiana isn't too bad if i rememeber, ill be there for work the next few days to confirm though.

I am from Indiana, a few hours north of Indy. I was just wondering if the parking is sketchy and if I should just drive instead.

I've been messing around with the same build... what did you pair it with?

Here's what I think I'll try tomorrow https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic Empire&d=v4!s!292:27,266,262:63:31:;195:18,-1,-1:33:17:;270:-1,-1:56:24:U.247,U.23&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

You'll want your ace shooting before Vermeil. This is what I was playing:

Unnamed Squadron (100)
Major Vermeil — TIE Reaper 26
Veteran Instincts 1
ISB Slicer 2
Director Krennic 5
Lightweight Frame 2
Advanced Ailerons 0
Ship Total: 36

Glaive Squadron Pilot — TIE Defender 34
Veteran Instincts 1
Multi-spectral Camouflage 1
TIE/x7 -2
Ship Total: 34

Scarif Base Pilot — TIE Reaper 22
Emperor Palpatine 8
Advanced Ailerons 0
Ship Total: 30

Btw the Palp reaper is even dumber than you'd think it is. No one's going to meaningfully get shots at it ever, except for like an engine ghost

The point was that I was just KOing everyone in my bracket. Won the tournament, didn't win a single game on points lmao

Nah, the busted characters this time around are the defense and power characters: Bowser/Jr, waluigi, chain chomp

Ooh interesting. Amazon has betrayed me once again so no tennis for me for a while.

Hmm why don't video games have any sort of 'flgs' mentality..

I assume this was even on a small base. I was trying to work out medium base reapers last night. They are fast. ?

I can't speak to motorcycle parking specifically, but unless you're really early, odds are you're parking at Lucas Oil Stadium. I'd expect they'd have okay motorcycle parking, but who knows.

How important is frame on veilmer? With the 2 left points you can get it or vi on vader

Pretty important, I think, but more importantly autothrusters is a good card

For you people that have played super-ace with Krennic, are their any non-obvious strengths or weaknesses?

Know much is the extra shield important vs the extra offense? I'm guessing 80% of the card is really the offense, but that shield is nice.

Two ships effectively get entirely passive mods out of it, it's entirely not obvious how much damage your list is going to do.

So far the biggest thing is it feels like all 3 of my ships constantly have near perfect offensive mods and can save tokens for defense more often.

The extra shield and spend results bit is gravy.

Feels like every ship with a crew is basically Vessery now or just has FCS.

So far this is all I have really tried out and its fantastic...

scrap the advoptics and droid for intelligence agent and a bid

I also like to somehow put kylo onto the reaper, but that means downgrading qd massively

it‘s pretty nasty

Does the Reaper (I assume) carrying Krennic feel like a real combat ship, or more of a support ship? Do you use the Jam pretty regularly?

Am I right in thinking that effectively full mods + token stripping due to jamming makes for some big action disparity?

I used him with Tactical Officer, meaning I was often coordinating. But I still jammed 4-5 times in a game.

If coordinate is unnecessary and the target already jammed, then it‘s still 3 dice + focus which makes it an attack that should not be underestimated.

By now I think carrying Kylo is a good idea: do Kylo once, jam if needed and otherwise attack with a mod. Especially with Vader!

Brings me back to my Kylo Tie Shuttle days.

Obligatory Kylo gif....

Is he not the greatest Star Wars character of all time or what?

Combat Ship or Jam depending on the situation.

I find myself just deciding between trying to block, trying to focus for a fully modified 4 dice r1 shot, or default jamming a thing thats trying to token stack its way out of consequences.

I think I've said it multiple times so I don't mean to repeat, but vermeil is always jamming or evading, and with ISB slicers that means token stackers have no tokens, and alpha strikers don't get their alpha strike anymore either. It's really insane. Vermeil should absolutely be in the fray - shooting two agility/palp/evade is very frustrating, even with a turret, because he already came and took your tokens and always hits for 3/4.

@Brunas what's the reasoning behind the Glaive Defender vs say the Inquisitor which can give the Palp Reaper LWF at a total of 99 pts?

basically we know the inquisitor is good, so I wanted to test if vermeil is good and not have him get carried by quiz, if that makes sense.

Guess ill never lose to Dash again? Though ISB is like infinite blinded pilot. Gonna need more jam tokens.

I don't understand any of these lists.

Alternate format?
