I'm gonna try him this Friday with tractor beam. It seems pretty solid.

Eaden Vrill with Outrider and Tractor Beam is even better.

Um, if you give a ship Outrider and Tractor Beam, how does it do damage at all? Or is it just to lower your opponent's agility so your other ships can kill it easier? But if that's the case, then the Outrider becomes almost half of your list that cannot deal damage from shooting. Is that a good idea? I don't think so.

fill the rest with 1 attack die HWKs with Engine Upgrade.

Make it Jan Ors with Expertise, Luke crew and Experimental Interface, topped with Moldy Crow.

Second most wasteful ship possible. 42 points of complete uselessness.

P.S. Don't forget Expose on that TB Outrider, it *needs* one in today's meta.

We once played a game at my FLGS where your opponent gets to choose your fleet. My opponent literally chose exactly this, Dash with Tractor Beam and some of the named Rebel HWKs, but with Tailgunner on all the ships! I think I actually won that game...

Holy ****. Must have taken 6 hours.

Edit: Really? They censor out the word "H - E - double-hockey sticks?" What is this, kindergarten? And it makes it looks like I used a worse four-letter word. Come on, FFG, grow a pair and let your users say some bad words.

Um... how exactly does Tail Gunner work on a Hawk? (Answer: It doesn't.)

And now the joke is dead.

Regarding Tractor Dash... if you're seriously considering this, come prepared for a thoroughly frustrating game on both sides unless your opponent brings turrets or hypermobile ships.

Pardon my ignorance, but jokes usually have a measure of humour to them.

Ha.

Ha.

WSF tractor beam Outrider is 36 pts. However two points more gets you the only range 1-3 ion 'turret', and with a large base.

On a curiosity level I really want this to work, but over one third of a list dedicated to ionizing ships out of arc at range 3 is just....awesome

Luke crew goes better on the ytyet-2400

I would be quite happy if there was an upgrade for dash that just gave him a generic firepower 3 turret like the falcon or the jumpmaster title.

That way I can run the ship cheap without the obligatory outrider title and get edan out there.

C'mon now. Everyone knows that the correct cannon for Dash is the Autoblaster.
