Culled from this blog . A look at 3 simple 50-point lists from each faction. Does anyone else not always have time for multiple, 75-minute, 100-point matches?

SCUM

M3-A Interceptor (Laetin A’shera). With Hull Upgrade; Scurrg H-6 Bomber (Lok Revenant). With Autoblaster Turret and Intelligence Agent.

IMPERIAL

TIE/FO Fighter (Omega Leader). With Weapons Guidance and Hull Upgrade; Tie/FO Fighter (Omega (Ace). With Lightning Reflexes, Weapons Guidance and Twin Ion Engine Mk. II.

REBELS

A-Wing (Jake Farrell). With Crack Shot; B-Wing (Blue Squadron Pilot). With Accuracy Corrector.

I play 50 point lists all the time. My most enthusiastic and available sparring partner is my 7 year old son. I'm extremely proud of how well he does with such a complex game, but being 7, 50 pts keeps game length managable for his attention span.

Scavenger Crane 2

Glitterstims 2

Leaves you with a one point initiative bid and is one dangerous alpha strike for 50 points, scavenger crane lets suhlak possibly keep the missles flowing for a end game ship as well.

My best friend and I will sometimes play a 3 way free for all with my son. I'm die hard Imperial. My son only plays Rebel, and my friend only collects Scum. Smaller point lists keep the playmat from getting to cluttered. Last time we did 50 Points I ran..

Mauler Mithel w/ Wired - 18

Backstabber - 16

Dark Curse - 16

They can print all the new fancy ships they want, but I don't think my love affair with the Tie Fighter will ever die.

This proved to be an effective 50-point list in several games this weekend:

YV-666 (Trandoshan Slaver) with Heavy Laser Cannon, Inertial Dampeners and Maneuvering Fins; M3-A Interceptor (Cartel Spacer) with "Light Syck" Interceptor.
