On a different topic...

A few thoughts on Mandalore:

• Friday Hyperspace Qualifier was fun but a serious challenge.
  • Definitely an endurance test, not packing lunch was a rookie mistake.
  • Probably learned as much if not more on Friday as I did during the Open just because of the mix of players.
• The community is incredible.
  • Each game was fun for the most part and almost every player I encountered was chill.
• Meta is close to wide open post-FAQ.
  • Never felt like my agency was more than 50% burgled by something other than my opponents skill.
  • Paratanni and Wookies were well represented in the Top 4
  • But it seemed like those players could have brought a # of different lists from all 3 factions and gotten that far.
• There is a significant difference between the skill level of players early day 1 vs round 4-6 on Day 1
  • Matchups are adjusted based on Wins/Losses as the day goes on so the difficulty scales noticeably.

That's the vassal version, that is not what Chris is running.

The best solution if wookies get out of hand is to make Carnor, Wes, old teroch etc work against reinforce. Those are all super fun ships anyway

Who are we to argue?

I, for one, welcome our new Bounty Hunter Overlords.

It’s the mandalore open, what do you expect?

I bet he’ll fly quad Wookiee’s at kashyyk and triple arcs at coruscaunt.

"How old was this guy?"

"I can't tell you that."

"Ok, but you can tell me you chopped his **** off."

Also, I just noticed Krayts still aren't on the pinned "useful links" post.

Will you also unpin all the podcasts that aren't at 50 pages yet?

So for Timelock Asajj...trying to build some lists around it and looking at the ShadowCaster title thinking "She doesn't really need this, maybe I can put those 3 pts elsewhere." Although I realized just giving this Asajj as many points as possible is probably a feature?

EDITED: TimeWALK Asajj, my bad, I never was a Magic player and I thought I heard TimeLOCK over the weekend.

title is super vicious against Miranda, Wookies and any other one agi ship that you can throw around onto rocks and debris.

Oh yeah, I'm definitely not discounting the title. I've played a lot of Ketsu/Bossk and know how vicious that is. Although for example, I tried building a Ketsu/Asajj list with the Timelock Asajj and a slimmer Ketsu and put the title on Ketsu since it would in theory work better on a higher PS ship designed to tractor you, BUT then Ketsu becomes more points than Asajj and that doesn't sound like the right decision.

Assaj is the real deal.

Looking like the bedrock of post-FAQ Scum lists. Don't see Wave 12 changing that much either.

Seems well balanced against both low agility ships & to a certain extent aces to.

Latts is incredibly strong against push aces - it's almost impossible to get damage through evade + latts.

THANKFULLY THE SILENCER IS COMING TO SAVE US

Hold My Beer:

Hold My Beer:

Kylo Ren (TIE Silencer) — TIE Silencer	35
Push the Limit	3
Fire-Control System	2
Targeting Synchronizer	3
Autothrusters	2
First Order Vanguard	2
Ship Total: 47
"Whisper" — TIE Phantom	32
Veteran Instincts	1
Fire-Control System	2
Mercenary Copilot	2
Advanced Cloaking Device	4
Ship Total: 41

Honestly, can you skip VI on whisper? For the same reason the ps7 silencer might be good, they are all ps0 anyway (when it works).

I know that a mid 40's super Kylo is going to be pretty potent. Part if me feels like the 40 point budget Kylo of VI, FCS, Autothrusters is going to be a powerful, if a lot less spectacular ship. We know Quickdraw with LWF, VI, and FCS is a **** good ship. Kylo is that Quickdraw with a conditionally worse pilot ability, no rear arc, probably a better dial, Boost, and Autothrusters for 6 points. Boost and Autothrusters are worth more than six points, but the rear arc and better ability are worth something for Quickdraw.

Regardless, the pair of these just let you not give a **** about so much of the meta. Maybe you're a little too wholesome for your own good, but so is everyone else. You don't get Nymed, you don't get alphad, you don't have lesser PS aces out-dodging you. Everybody has to play fair, you just get to play a little more fair.

There's even points for a decent 3rd ship.

This is basically what's been on my mind. A 36 point quickdraw with just VI FCS LWF and sensor cluster is incredibly potent - what if we gave it autothrusters and a similarly threatening "don't shoot me" pilot ability?

This is what I've been passively looking at as my new go to "fun" list:

Also, going to go ahead and post this here:

It's on reddit and facebook, and i'll spam the rest of the internet with it more later, but over the holiday week mostly just going to be chill. Shoutout @Rytackle for the amazing designs we've been using for everything.

Here's an example of the playmat, while it was still a WIP:

And on the table!

This is the proof, the final version has the logos in the corners changed up a bit and a bit larger.

These are also terrible phone quality pictures - We got some better pictures I'm waiting on today. Seriously, Ryan killed it. I can't believe how good all of it has been coming out.
