Obviously we haven't seen the Silencer yet but we most likely will in a couple weeks, but for now, which is better: double GUNBOATs or one Silencer?

I have a sweet Karsabi-XG-1-HLC-Linked Battery-PTL-ASLAM/ Double Edge-SSalvo-MF in the pipeline.

You're asking which pie tastes better while one is still in the oven. The answer is both, because it's pie!!! ( assuming FFG didn't slightly over cook the silencer one.)

I’m hoping 1 Silencer and 2 GUNs works as well as I think it will. Both Gunboat titles offer quite a bit of point flexibility, from 23-40 points well kitted out... so I think they’ll pair with Kylo.

Yes?

Both in the same list.

I'm not sure you want to double stress Karsabi with PtL.

Triple Missile Boats looks rather sweet. Quad Gunboats ... not so much, linked batteries has been a letdown imho.

A triple gunboat for me ! May be more ! But first need buy more tie/sf and striker !

Only two GUNBOAT? I’m getting 5 initially, then working my way to a full dozen.

one Silencer is enough for me. You know, because Kylo is only one guy. Well Technically he’s also Ben, but you know what I mean.

I will get many GBoats in time, but my pre order is the Silencer. Although I have a membership to the Cult of Gunboat, I can't help. It wonder why the BOX for the Silencer is so big for a SMALL ship.

putting $ there are other nice things in that box.

It’s about the same amount of plastic as the IG2000 and U-wing and both of those should have been small based.

I guess the Aces packs have confused everyone about what should and should not go into a box.

I mean, if you do the math, you can fit 5 GUNBOATS in a list with 10 points for upgrades. Just saying to all of you who didn't do that math yet

You can, but only if you don't take either title. If you take XG1, you only have 5 points of upgrades, OS1, you have 0.

5 Gunboats isn't goign to be a viable list.

K.

What 10 points of upgrades do you propose?

Give them all XG-1 and give each ship either Tractor or Jamming Beams

Or Vectored Thrusters. Or Flatchet Torps and Chimps. Or Flatchet canon for the stress control. Or Flatchet Cannon and title on two and two with tracers and Chimps and one with title and beam.

and so on.

im still getting five of these beauties and I will fly all of them. ALL OF THEM.

GUNBOAT.

And.

Not or.

And .

Which gives them no damaging attacks except their 2 die primaries, and only one action equivalent each.

Woot?

Overcook? No. They did forget an ingredient, though. Missiles.

Yeah. One of the first things I thought of for supporting Advanced Sensors Kylo was a pair of Ion Cannon Gunboats. As they're cheaper than I thought they'd be, I'm half seriously looking at Ion/Manglers to make ISYTDS super easy to trigger. Maybe Flechette/Manglers, it all depends on the meta.

Precision Laser Cannon

Imperial only.

3 dice, range 1-3 cannon.

If this attack hits, the defender suffers one critical hit, then cancel all dice results.

2 points.

Make it happen FFG!

Yeah, I was hoping for something more like the TIE/D title which would allow you to fire a cannon and a primary together (though I understand why they wouldn't want to completely obsolete a ship-only title).

Ah, well. I'll find a way to make it work somehow! (I intend to make sure that every card I own gets at least a little play, eventually.)

IDK, I think linked are quite fine

The obvious platform is Karsabi, or w.e their name is, who can SLAM and still fire HLC due to their ability

Otherwise, the main advantage of the XG-1 HLC is that they don't need locks to fire their four dice and they don't need actions to mod it or their range 1 primaries.

Ito alpha, they're much stronger than the OS-1 because crackshot is amazing and with linked they get consistent reroll without having to fumble with low PS TLs
