Carolina Krayts is the best X-Wing podcast

Third times the charm!

Word to the wise: don't listen to Carolina Krayts on an extended drive. Especially if it's a car episode. I was laughing so hard I could barely pay attention to the road.

Also, that Soontir Fel song was stuck in my head for the remainder of my 10 hr drive home for Thanksgiving. So thanks for that.

P.S. I have actually killed the Inquisitor using his own pilot ability with Thweek. Fenn Rau helped out by stripping a couple shields first, but Thweek then rolled 4 natties against an Inquisitor range 3 through a rock (range 1 with ability) and took him out. It was hilarious. Honestly, I chose Mimic instead of Shadow for the lulz, something I would never do in competition, but the payoff was worth it for how much I could rub it in my friend's face.

Oh you saw that... screw X-wing game app, I just want a forum app that lets me post Star Wars gifs without trouble XD

X-wing game app would actually be really cool though.

That owns the Mandalore mat so hard. I wish there was any conceivable way I could afford to cross the pond to come to Krayt cup.

So once again there are leaks- we just need to know the Kimogila dial and stuff from the silencer now.

Thoughts on Optics being 2 points instead of 3-4? Is it better than PA on TIE/sf's? Is it good on any other generic?

Super-Kylo is 47, Blackout will be ~44-45?

In honor of that sweet play mat and poster today is Cool Star Wars Art Appreciation Day.

SOOONNTTTIIIRRR FEEELLLLLLL

Here's the Kimogila stuff.

R5tk is best droid.

Assault Missile, R5Tk, and a deadmans Z- Useful or no?

Thank God scramblers don't do damage or have 4 attack dice- I was not looking forward the PS 11 scrambler race.

Cartel Executioner is 24, couldn't get a good pic.

Wait... R5-TK does what now? Uuuuh... Ok. Splash damage weapons aimed at friendlies when the enemy is out of arc?

Hard-3? So Unhinged is pretty much stapled to these guys.

So I got to the Bistan part of the Mynock podcast today just before a night of X-Wing and flew this list, just because. I'm not saying it's good, I'm not good enough to know what's actually good, but it was kinda dirty. TL action all the time, if you roll good, use Norra's ability for a focus, then Expertise, then Bistan. If you roll crap, TL re-roll and then Expertise, then Bistan. You're almost always in range 1-2 with Norra.

Pretty sure id still rather have miranda

I'm not sure any of its good. The green hard 3s are a big deal on the y wing because it made the red moves green and the ship wants to move fast for tlt . This guy probably wants to k turn a bunch, so it probably not as good

Edited because i apparently got bored mid sentence?

I'm just thinking because it has so much red on the dial, having access to a green turn maneuver to clear the stress next round is hard to pass up. Especially given how much this ship needs to keep arc.

The dial is actually very similar to a TIE Defender dial (barring a white 4K) and there are so many times when I'm flying PTL Ryad that I wished she had a green 3-hard.

Yeah, same. But Bistan! Bistan wouldn't be as good on Miranda!

I agree

I think I'll take a white 4k/green every k over a green 3. Man i want to believe the not krayt will be good, but after the mist hunter and b wing I'm ready to be hurt again.

I wonder if it would have been perfectly ok if the PS8 Pilot Ability prevented all defensive dice modifications/additions & stripped focus/evade/re-enforce tokens.

I think optics is really competitive, even potentially on /FOs. Lone wolf OL new meta?

Hey, could use some proofreading and stupid questions on these, if anyone has the time: https://imgur.com/a/jne0l

We've been looking at them so long it's all obvious and intuitive at this point, but if you do a quick read, what questions do you have? Doing a "final" editing push.
