Banked Barrel Rolls

By Crimsonwarlock, in X-Wing

Anyone else fly some of them new Star Vipers today.

Those banked barrel rolls are dope. Makes the starvipers a brutal knife fighter.

I ran the following:

Scum's 4BZ

StarViper: Black Sun Enforcer (25)
StarViper Mk.II (-3)
StarViper: Black Sun Enforcer (25)
StarViper Mk.II (-3)
StarViper: Black Sun Enforcer (25)
StarViper Mk.II (-3)
StarViper: Black Sun Enforcer (25)
StarViper Mk.II (-3)
M3-A Interceptor: · Sunny Bounder (14)
"Light Scyk" Interceptor (-2)
-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

Played it a ton.

All I did was add the new title to my favorite guri build (predator,sensor jammer,autothrusters,titles)

That's a guri that stays on the board a LONG time.

Predator and sensor jammer frees your limited action economy for the movement options and still mods attacks and defenses.

It's quite strong.

Ran it with assaj,expertise and latts

And get this....unkar plut,ketsu on your and tractor array.

There's room to tweak things but for now this list has all the tools I need and is a ton of fun to play.

Played Xizor; VI; Adv.Sensors; Title; other Titel.

Awesome! just point out any spot on the map and put your ship there cause there surely will be a way to get there. This is THE scum arcdodger.

Fixed that for you

Yeah, the banky barrel rolls are great. The StarViper has a totally* unique way of flying if you get it right, which is more like circle-strafing than anything. It's also super fun.

*yeah, I know there's a squint pilot who can do it better but blaaaah

It’s basically a better boost+roll and you still have the option to boost. It kind of solves the action economy problem required for double repositioning so VI Xizor or Thweek can actually been a high PS arc dodger.

It doesn’t let you flee range like boost+roll can, but it’s still pretty cool.

The other very neat trick is the 1 turn bank roll int he same direction which more or less turns you on the spot to point 45 degrees off your own tail. Crazy.
