Mindlink Scyks

It's the list I'd be using if I was going. Not because I think it's a world beater but because I've been doing well with it (Serissu and 3 TPVs, all with Mindlink and Manglers) in local tournaments and the list I feel the most comfortable flying right now.

D: fair ship rebels all the way.

final four will be two rebel and two scum

Whoever wins, there will be thousands of forum and reddit posts calling for nerfs. So F-wings and R-wings.

If that wins, then I'll actually need to finish designing the 3rd playmat for the Krayt bounty.

Oh man. I just got the mental image of two FSR lists facing off on the final table. Most boring final game ever.

Whichever one is flown by the best player on the day.

Well heck, legend has it at least one player showed up to a tournament in Wave 6 with nothing but Soontir Fel and actually won a couple of games... if anyone else could pull it off, Corran just might.

My version flies Palob in place of Serissu.

Again, it's not the best list around but it's by far what I'm most comfortable flying.

What does your Palob carry, upgrade wise, besides Mindlink?

I've been watching Fair Ship Rebels go down hard locally to massive bombing. I would expect a bomb build to make the top. Nym struggles with TLTs. I'd expect a Y-Miranda-Y or a Y-Nym-Y to win.

Intel Agent, Autoblaster, Cloaking Device and Stygium Particle Accelerator.

Right now it looks like Nathan Aide with Corran.

It appears you are one with the force

...but the force is not with you

As you were only half right.

He went 2-3. BtD interviewed him.

there wont be any Imperial built in the top 4 and probably only 1 or 2 in the top 16 (most likely not in the top 8)

How did i guess? :-)
