I see that and I agree. But in my opinion, the chances that a resistance squad has a ship who really likes a coordinate will also have a yt1300 is pretty high. And c3po is a viable choice - especially because of Rey and her force. Plus, the calculate on top reinforces that.

falcon is a significantly bigger percent of your list you're devoting to a coordinate vessel, the calculate helps for sure though.

huh, list fortress has it as ion.

Alas, it doesn't look like the GSP streamed any of the matches for this list.

I believe Francios is a local to @Musical Xeno. Did he run ion or HLC at coruscant?

my point is that you won't bring it to coordinate. You will bring it and can coordinate if you want to.

The two builds I've seen and like most for Yt1300 are either rey pilot with rose and finn, or han pilot with rey and c3po, both with title. Both are at around 104 points. With the 80+ Poe besides you get a I6 Falcon who can coordinate Poe if wanted (and still gets a calculate + can turn a blank). I'm not convinced that this is good. But I'm convinced that it's still better than an almost 40point Awing who does nothing but coordinate.

Resistance Falcon in the official builder has a missile slot.

Resistance Falcon in the official pdf does not have a missile slot.

Can we get a Krayt Bet on whether they fix the app or "fix" the pdf?

One of the first things I did after everything was spoiled was see where a bank-boost->3-hard->t-roll->BR put me. Assuming someone in a chase position, it's basically on their flank and behind them. That's unique in the game, I think.

Wait, the 3-hard is not blue for the t70, how can you use a bb8 boost before it? Am I missing something?

BB8 to pre-boost. Three hard for move. Talon roll slam with Black one. Use Poe ability and primed thrusters to do BR at end of slam action?

But BB8 still needs a blue maneuver to procc? So at best you can pre boost, 3 straight, 3 talon roll, BR

Ah, ok. I just focused on the charge count with BB-8. Never paid attention to the green move part. You could also get a pre-move boost from a coordinate from 3p0 to do it.

Nope, not missing anything. I'm an idiot. Don't even need BB-8 to do what @GreenDragoon said. Too much Supernatural in my head. Sad.

Can't be done. SLAM only works on a normal "perform action step" action, and can't be used off of Pattern Analyzer or Poe's ability.

*edit*

On top of that, after the first 4k, you'd run into all sorts of "action while stressed" issues which would break things.

However, it 100% works with Nien Nunb, if there's an enemy in the right place. 4K, Pattern Analyzer Focus, discard stress, SLAM as normal action, 4K, Pattern Analyzer Lock, discard Stress. Technically can work with Tallon Rolls, too, but that seems a lot less likely to happen, geometrically speaking.

Don't you mean triple action? Past to focus, link to a BR, catch someone range 1 in bullseye, lose manuever AND red BR stress, then take a lock.

Oh god, I gave 5 awings a try on vassal with heroic, crackshot and advanced optics. I think I need this!

Glad I'm not the only one that is having trouble coming to the realization that I'm likely to buy 5 RZ2s...

How could I ever have been in doubt! I was the local awings guy, and I enjoyed it so much. And unlike Fangs they get to do stuff!

I'm not yet convinced of trickshot, but Heroic has me good. A 3hit1crit attack, I blanked, rerolled into 2 focus and only took 2 shield instead of popping. Also used it several times on offense. The combo with advanced optics is great, too.

Trickshot or Crackshot is something I have to think about. One alternative is to scratch it entirely and make a heroic 5th ship, Tallie or L'ulo.

I'm trying real hard to convince myself I'm not going to do this. Interceptors are enough for me (but they're not in Hyperspace, the voice whispers).

Advanced Optics (Weapons Guidance as was) are a *LOT* better on 2-red-dice ships than 3-red-dice. I always kinda wanted to run a Weapons Guidance 1e Resistance Bomber, it seemed like an almost-as-good Accuracy Corrector which didn't prevent TrajSim.

It never really took off on TIE/FO, probably largely because Howlrunner and classic TIE Fighters was a better list.

Oh man.

6x Zetas with Advanced Optics. TIE/FOs have gone down in price in 2e, and you'll now be able to fit 6 with it, instead of 5x with and 1 without.

Yep, hopefully that will scratch the itch.

I'm actually kinda bearish on Nien Nunb's Pattern Analyzer shennanigans. I think he'll be decent because of Init 5, but for his whole chain to work, you have to K-Turn or T-Roll into a position where you've got range 1 and arc (or at least can barrel roll into range 1 and arc). It sounds great on paper, but I'm skeptical of how reliable it'll be with the on-table geometry of it.

As such, I feel like folks are sleeping on Ello Asty, who's 4 points cheaper, since he doesn't need to take anything in his tech slot. I think a large part of that is Ello being a tad overpriced in 1e, so folks didn't use him as much as the Heroes of the Resistance pilots.

Hi, I was directed to the podcast by a friend, who said it would help me get good at x-wing fast since I just started in September.

I've listened to a couple episodes he picked out, (Listener, a smattering of others) and they were great.

Then I tried listening to the latest episode, and it's painful.

Are there any plans to release more refined episodes? Or will I be forced to grin and bear it?
