Honestly, 15 is more than I expected for the cheapest one. I was thinking 14, with a better chance at 13 than 15. Now you have two points of wiggle room with 100 point Corran?
playtesting works/thanks Gold Squadron, depending on your preference.
Maul + Zuckuss on the C-ROC will be funny. Not broken, but it's hilarious that you get rerolls on red and green dice with no consequence.

This seems to be the baseline, but I'm not sure what to do with the last 2 pts. FCS? Autoblaster Turret/Collision Detector? Hera/Collision Detector 1 pt bid against bombs to reposition before they go off?
Does this really all matter if RACLo is thought to show up more now? It's a cool trick and mechanic, but with RACLo projected to be more predominant, I can't see this type of list doing much unless it just dodges the RACLo matchup.

I think if you could get Chopper, Hera, FCS it might be worth flying, but with a 15 point shuttle that is 101. I remembered THEZACKMATHEWSCAROLINAKRAYTSPODCAST bringing it up.
Im just gonna fly ps1 starVipers and go 2-4 like the dumb idiot I am.

Someday starvipers will get a fix and you'll be thrilled
Apparently Thweek is good. Winning Nationals good. Thweek copycats everywhere now.

I’m going to try to do my best here.
Autothrusters are pretty good. With the right bid you can guarantee moving last. FCS is pretty good. The weird barrel roll is probably better than a single reposition, and at least some of the time gets you the benefit of a double reposition (lateral movement and arc swing).
It still can’t token stack, and that reposition means you get nothing. It is somewhere between an interceptor and a b-wing, and as much as I like flying them I still don’t see it.
Somebody post that gif of Travis at Canadian Nats.

Thweek copycats copycats?
I’ll admit, surprised. Eager to find/hear AARs on this.

I'm guessing this is a leebo situation where a tremendous player dunked on an entire continent. If memory serves it was the handsome and cunning Paul Johnson, the same man who gloriously won aus nats with egomk3.
Ooh, forgot the troll markings on that post. No, I don't expect to see Thweek raking in the wins, yes Assaj and a jumpmaster were in the list, and yes it was Paul for a second Nats win.

4 PS1 Starvipers plus Sunny is actually a super good list. Also a super expensive list.

What's the most expensive list we can make? Surely it's something with X-Wings, right? Or cheap crack shot carriers that need esoteric bad upgrades from epic ships...

I don't know if this is the most expensive list, buts it is stupid expensive without alt-art promos.
5 Scimitar bombers with tactician, tie shuttle. 2 with operations specialist, 1 with Vader, 1 with Intel agent.
You need:
5 x tie bomber expansions (for the scimitar bombers)
5 x Tie phantom expansions (for the tacticians)
3 x Imperial Veterans (for the Tie shuttle title)
1 x Upsilon Shuttle (for the operations specialist)
1 x Lambda (for Vader)
1 x Hawk (for the Intel agent)

Thought of this pretty quickly.
You’d need $390 worth of stuff. I’m sure you can get it higher. Forget 101 articles, we got a new objective FFG.
Also, @Brunas Maul is gonna be amazing in Epic with Zuckuss Crew. He takes Dengars spot on the C-Roc but now instead of only getting 1 reroll since people don’t bring named Pilot in epic, you get all the rerolls.
Edited by Tbetts94The card format was changed for Hired Guns, Dalan “put him wherever you want” Oberos has too many words. I haven’t compared the generic kihraxz cards yet to see if they got the new formatting, or just stuck in the same ones from the blister.
Also, would you rather have a third autothrusters,an Intel agent and a ps1 bid, or a second Autoblaster turret? This is super relevant to competitive discussion, trust me.
Just messing around, I played both sides of a Dash/Miranda vs a quad T70s with Flight Assist match last night. It's hard to draw a ton of conclusions from that sort of game, but FAA let the 70s close on Dash super fast. He basically got almost no chance to build up a Rey bank, and because there were 4 ships coming from a lot of directions, huge swaths of the board were cut off to Dash. It was super-easy to herd him in specific directions, and he almost always had to use an action to reposition to avoid arcs. I'm no great Dash player, but it seemed like there was a game there.

How about six scum HWKs, and one has Cikatro and a Slicer Tools? That would be six HWKs, six most wanted, a CROC, and a shadow caster. I think you might have three more points to spend, too.

With those three points, put Courier Droid on one, Inspiring Recruit on another, and Mercenary Copilot on another. That adds a Sheathipede, a U-Wing, and a Firespray to the pricetag.
