Honestly, Rebels could look into a similar build for Rey. Only one turn, but AGI3 + infinite Focus / reroll Rey for a turn would really help preserve her on the initial joust. Is it just too many points?

This seems legit:

https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel Alliance&d=v4!s!201:27,-1,200,159:40:27:U.128,m.12;175:27,-1,148,254:39:15:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Have you looked at a build like this @gennataos?

My Determination Rey build originally had GS instead of SC, same point cost as yours, but I didn't commit to trying it a lot. I saw the SC/CM shenanigans and grew enamored with it. I think there's a strong argument for it over SC, since blocking can hose her, Poe can reasonably pull off TLs and you can't guarantee Rey in range for SC to proc.

I'm leaning toward Engine Rey, though. She can force a jousting decision and EU lets her close the gap to get inside missile range and/or blocks.

On VI...boy would I love to just staple that to her, even over Experise. I live in fear of the Kylo dumpster, though, even moreso starting tomorrow. I guess I need to see how that matchup turns out, but I suspect I already know.

I ran this a couple times last night in Vassal and it did well. Rey dies in this list a lot, no doubt. Poe is strong enough now to be a closer, but he really has to finish stuff, because he won't cost more than some other closers. Large base boost is so good, particularly when backed up by blank rerolls. Poe is ignored out of necessity to kill Rey, but he's not slap fighting anymore with Advance Optics. I could drop Poe to the PS8 version and get R2-D2, which might be necessary to be more competitve, but I'm so weary of running.

"You serious?"

Are the Mandalore Open videos not available on twitch anymore?

I just downloaded the first episode. Unlistenable. The audio stinks. It was compressed and tinny. I’ll stick with “Stay in Target”.

Note 1: Start with Listener Series, much better.

Note 2: I believe it is known as "Stay on Target"

Honestly, that's a bit short sighted. it was their first attempt at podcast. Maybe try a few episodes in before passing judgement. The suggestion to start with the listener series is a good one.

Yeah, their audio quality early on was rough. But then they Got Gud.

My Rey has always been:

VI

Finn

Kanan

New Falcon Title

It is a monster. Having Rey able to blow away PS9 ships before they get to shoot has been extremely effective. It does take practice to fly, so that you don't get blocked and know which lanes to take to be able to get back into the fight quickly.

If there are points left, Glitterstim and Countermeasures do indeed make great additions as well. I'm less fond of Engine Upgrade, simply because I usually find that those 4 points are better spent elsewhere.

What don't you like about EU on Rey? I'm not committed to it by any means. It seems to me that it can help you control range better, which lessens the need for Countermeasures. It seems even more useful at PS10.

Thanks again everyone double checking formatting and everything. Here's where 1.0 landed: https://imgur.com/a/uR3RL. These aren't the resources you'll use from game to game, @Rytackle now moving everything over to a prettier and more convenient format which is frankly amazing.

Are those made in the FFG Mission creator?

The initial maps were, the rest is a template Farmer made (you'll notice a theme here!)

I find it amazing that there still no official mission packs after all the obvious work people put into making custom missions, and then the massive turnout for events where these are played.

Before U-boats came out, I flew a version of Danger Zone during the Palp Aces era. Went to three store champs and did not lose a single game of Swiss. Lots of dead Palp aces along the way. Back before TLT + Tac was nerfed:

PS2 K-wing + TLT / Tactician

PS2 K-wing + TLT / Tactician

PS2 Stresshog

PS2 Z-95

That was a long time ago though. Now that bombs are (mostly) gone, looks like Palp Aces are back on top! Not sure how good a super-expensve PS9 Kylo is going to do in a meta of PS10/PS11, without a way to reliably push PS0 out.

So I shouldn't be saying this before every match? Trip wookiees just makes me feel so safe

And as is tradition, spotted a typo on my one last read through. Page 1, End Phase paragraph, “at the stard of the end phase”

I hate my life.

Should be fixed now, thanks.

Just played a Kylo mirror on Vassal. Boy do I wish I included a bid in my list. I won the init roll, but I just know that roll is going to be stressful every game.

Also I did the cool white 2-forward trick! Dialed in a 4K to get behind my opponent's Kylo. He sees it coming and BRs to block it. I Adv Sensors PTL Focus + TL and take the white 2 fwd. Barely missed the arc dodge so we traded range 1 shots and showed each other the dark side. It was still cool!

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you all that people are still getting irrationally angry about the Silencer price. Please Help.

I wonder what the venn diagram of “people getting angry about paying more for a small base ship” and “people who paid for acrylic tokens” looks like.

I would also like to see the venn diagram of players who are angry about the Silencer and already own a U-Wing or Two Scum Aggressors.
