Palob without a turret. Thanks man. Now there is coffee on my screen.

The 5 green straight on the Silencer is a good parallel to right?

Not sure if its true or not but I remember hearing stories of SR-71 pilots just pushing the throttle forward a bit to fly faster than the missiles shot at them.

Sounds like an Advanced Sensors, Boost Barrel Roll, 5 green straight to me

Maybe with Black One Title?

Imagine if the Kylo Silencer also had Black One....

It's a large base Silencer. Hence the big packaging for the Silencer.

You came to see me when the moon was new
Saw you standin' in the pouring rain
Left my message on the window pain
Back on the street again
Back on the beat again
I'm back on the top again

Saw me climbing to the top of the hill
You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill
Learned my lesson and I had my fill
Learnt it all in vain
Went through it all again
Now I'm back on the top again

Always strivin', always climbing way beyond my will
Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill
Always seeming, like I'm moving but I'm really going slow
What do you do when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go

Just how I get there will be anybody's guess
With all the so called trappings of success
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
Too busy raisin' Cain
I'm back on the street again
I'm back on the top again

Time to start figuring out the party for green bay regional.

My place?

I need to know who you are. It upsets me that we've been in the same place at the same time repeatedly

I'm just a random capn'

Grey bearded old punk rock guy come out of gaming retirement.

If we are playing that game, I’m the beardy quiet one that was in the Hoth hangar bay that included the guy with the rolling cooler,

but I’m gonna be the guy dressed like captain Haddock channeling my inner Zack Mathews to yell about Harpoons.

Edit: I just about always show up with the elbow height Marine (sorry Mike) whose Bossk couldn’t finish your Asajj at worlds.

Edit edit: Notice me senpai!

@catachanninja

So, along the same lines as our what RL fighter would match to which SW craft...

what X-Wing ship can best pull this maneuver? AS Silencer? Not really...

and no, this is not a cobra... but what is it?

It’s hard to tell since there are no reference points, but it looks like that plane ends up on the same heading as where it started before the spin. So it’s a red straight maneuver?

That looks russian maybe. Incredible, never seen a jet move like that before.

I've actually seen prop planes do that too, it's a really cool air show maneuver, less tactical value.

Russian aircraft tend to be iterative in design, so it's hard to nail down exactly which one we're looking at in that video, but i did compare the silencer to the su35 as it is one of the most advanced and maneuverable aircraft, Russian or otherwise in production.

Did we play in Milwaukee 2016? You had some combo of Horton a b wing and I can't remeber the third ship?

My first regional was right after the jumpmaster came out.i was rac/whisper.started in the middle,ended at the bottom.

I don' remember much from it, but I don' think we played each other.

I played Nates brother at both events though.

I remember your soul but not your face, find me at hoth or green bay for hugs

You guys, I thought we had finally escaped the darkest timeline, but I guess not. Apparently a regional in the UK had a Top 4 that was all Nym/Miranda, and the Utah regional had 4 Nym/Miranda in the Top 8 (+1 Nym/Timewalk Asajj).

Help me Assault Gunboat, you're my only hope...

On the bright side I Top 8'ed an IA regional today playing Vader, so that was fun. Got to miss whatever was happening in the X-wing world until I came home.

Gunboat and Quickdraw, savior of us all.

Ahem..

Dormits,quickdraw and backdraft pulls miranda off the table on turn one.

Carry on.

Dont lose hope. Remain vigilant. Dedicate yourself.

Turn to Australia for inspiration, where the last surviving remnant of scrappy Imperial outlaw X-Wing players is training on a hostile outer rim planet, keeping the Silencer dream alive.

Australia the Earth equivalent of Jakku.

Hold fast.

Dodge arcs.

Nuke Nym.

Out Point Miranda.

There were 8 in the top 16 at Cardiff, 7 in the top 8. No Nym Miranda list lost to anything other than the mirror in the cut.

Here goes for a cool, collected dive at death and destruction, and the devil fetch the hindmost.

To be fair Nym-Miranda didn't show up in the same frequency as other places. The list that won Queensland didn't outpoint Miranda and probably couldn't nuke Nym (because a Gunboat has a decent chance of getting PS killed). I'm not saying K2 can't somehow beat Nym-Miranda, but none of those things you listed are really possible with that specific list.

I might think about swapping out Deadeye Rhos for Ion Cannon Nus (still with Harpoons ) to give a chance to lock down and murder the low AGI bombers.

Yea it makes QD and 3 Nus, QD and 2 Nus pretty quick. Same rules apply to Kylo/Rhos.

As far as dealing with Nym/Miranda it feels basically like the same situation as a couple months back. Its got a stronger alpha now for sure but Nym isnt any more tanky than he was then.
