There’s been an awakening...

ive seen a few tourney results, scum and Imperials at the top spot, people saying how good Harpoons are... Are high PS harpoons going to be everywhere now?

So, wanting to be proactive rather than ranting about the sky falling... how do you beat PS11 and ps9 harpoons and still have a robust enough squad to cope with other stalwarts?

There are 4 Miranda’s in the top 8 at Czech/Slovak nationals and the only Imperial is RAC/Quickdraw. It might be a touch early to say Imperials and Scum are in the top spots of tournaments.

People’s national squads would’ve been designed under pre nerf meta. I think the upcoming system open will present a different picture.

Nah. Rebel Operative leads the new meta. Finally he has been restored to his rightful place. And he did even do one damage in the Czech/Slovak finals with his primary.

I mean, the meta before the FAQ was mostly Rebel turrets and bombs vs Scum turrets and bombs. The first nationals under the new FAQ hints that its now just Rebels turrets and bombs

There will be a new meta definitely.

One trick ponies won't be at the top of it.

Two & Three trick ponies though should be good.

Missile Aces are this:

Turret Bomb Missile Ships are this:

Which one is goat?

Nope, it's all about that outer rim smuggler...

National Wins:

Rebel Operatives 2
Outer Rim Smuggler 0

Dash/Miranda has barely changed, Nym/Miranda can adapt easily, high PS Imp Alpha hasn't changed at all, but the meta probably won't have time to adapt fully before wave 12 anyway, it's probably only going to be a month or so.

Imp alpha has got Harpoon now... I think things are changing. I guess time will tell. System open will highlight the brave new post faq/g4h world (if there is one!)

i still think imp alpha gets boring after a while. just like how turrets and 4 tlt are boring and turret vs turret is boring. And fortressing.

and seems to still be the only viable competitive imp option, other than Rac 2 ship. Which... means the game is STILL in a bad place for Imps.

Gimme unnerf-ed R1-3 palpatine..... Better support ships, better synergy options

Technical at R1-3 he would not be completely unnerved, though I actually would take him.
