So just curious, outside of the obligatory I don’t really fly that faction response. What is your primary faction to fly, and what ship did you get and yet never use not even for the random casual fun list? Why don’t you fly that ship?

So I’ll start. I am big on the Imperial ships. Love the look and uniformity of TIEs. Yet, I don’t ever use my TIE ADV. Prototype. I took it out of the package, tested the Guidance Chips, the XX-23 Thread tracers, and the ship has sat in the box since. I watched others play it, especially Inquisitor, and I just saw no advantage to it over the Intercepters at the time. The dial is tighter, and like M3-A’s one Direct hit and your gone. Also just doesn’t look right, that odd white, covered panels, blech. Just not a ship that has excited me. I’ve made punishers work, not easy but been done, but the TAP, nope just in the box but no inclination to reach for it.

I play Scum & Villainy almost exclusively. The ships I have but never fly are Brobots. I like them and love watching people fly them. The high maneuverability mixed with low(ish) pilot skill have made me feel like I'm not good enough to fly them.

I play Imperial, I have only used the Firespray once. The Upsilon is a close second with only being flown three times, I just can't seem to get into the mindset required to for it right.

Even the TIE Bomber has started to get a little low on my ship list, darn those things need some shields.

My gaming buddy also religiously runs Rey, so that might be why I don't fly those ships very often.

A good Ion kitted Firespray can reek havoc on Rey.....just saying....

What do you recommend?

Ion Cannon isn't exactly the best option, and there are more efficient carriers for ion pulse missiles for the cost.

I confess that about 6 months ago, give or take, I bought the ARC-170.

I have never flown it.

Not because I don’t want to or anything, I just never have any lists that I feel like working it into.

The TIE Punisher is almost in the same boat, but I’ve flown it once just to say I did.

None of my scum ships have ever touched a playmat...

I play scum exclusively and the ship I own and ignore is the shadowcaster. I don’t like how it looks, I don’t like how it plays. I mean, it’s clearly a powerful ship but it always strikes me as being profoundly boring to fly when I watch others pilot it against me.

TIE Aggressor because its basically a TLT carrier and I loathe TLT's.

For me, as a pretty dedicated Rebel player, it's the YT-2400. I started playing around wave 5, so I've watched people succeed with Dash my entire X Wing career. And all it's done is instil in me a burning hatred for that ship and what it does. Even though I'm fully cognisant of how good he is, I've never been able to bring myself to fly him, and none of the others have ever really seemed worth it.

I play all factions, but mostly scum and rebel.

My tie punisher and tie aggressor have never seen a game. My tie fighters have only seen use in HotAC. My sheathipede hasn’t been used yet but I haven’t had as many games as I’d like so that should change.

I just need to get out and fly more casual jank to get every single ship used somehow again.

I want to say my primary faction is Rebels despite playing imperials a lot recently, but the ship I just never fly at all for either side is the K-Wing and Punisher. They’re both just ridiculous, with the exception of Miranda maybe, and it’s impossible to kit out a Punisher without it going down in flames beforehand using its entire payload in casual/standard 100 or Epic.

I’m actually trying to make it a new year’s resolution to fly all my stuff this year. Like, *all* of it. Every upgrade and named pilot. Everything . Even stuff like Saboteur. Don’t know how far I’ll get, but that’s the idea. I’ll probably be seeking help with and (hopefully) reporting on some janky combos at some point.

Anyway, back on topic: my Lambda and TIE Bomber and TIE Phantom come to mind. I’ve flown each of them once but other things always float to the top during list building.

For me I used Ion cannon with IPM’s the wider arc really helps actually. Also I have tossed on Ion Projectors a lot harder to avoid a boat with a boat.

The Naboo N-1...

If you need an accountability buddy let me know! I’m resolving something similar - just ship models though not pilots and upgrades. I’m not that dedicated yet. And I might let imperial ships that are in HotAC slide and say see they flew. Depends on how much game time I get this year.

You’re on, buddy! ^^

My gaming buddy has gotten into a bit of a Rey-Poe rut lately, though we’re starting to mix it up some by running 2x100-list games. So inevitably Beavis and Butthead are still there on the other side of the board, but at least there’s 100 points of something else too to help keep it interesting.

As for the Imperial Firespray: Krassis is my absolute favorite ship in the game. I recognize the inherent absurdity of this, but flying him is fun and he makes me smile. And IMO he keeps getting better and better as more upgrades come out. Of course you want HLC for damage output, then Andrasta to get Bomblet Generator... I keep looking for the right crew, though. Seems like a lot could work but I haven’t found the perfect one yet. Maybe gonna try Tail Gunner sometime.

Strongly suggest Rebel Captive or Recon Spec on Imperial Firesprays. Paired with Lone Wolf it gives them a half decent chance at not becoming big base T-65s after turn 1.

My epic ships are the only ones I've NEVER flown.

Excluding the last few waves since I haven't gotten as much time with the ships, the ships I've flown least probably are:

Scum: Aggressor, G1A, and Star Viper

Imperial: Decimator and Tie Bomber

Rebel: Falcon, Outrider, Kwing, E-wing, and Attack Shuttle

(Not a fan of turreted ships if you can't tell)

I primarily use Rebels and I have NEVER flown the Wookie ship nor the E-wing. Also, I never used Biggs once.

I play rebels and sometimes scum, and I have never used my hwk-290.

I play rebels, but I've never flown the U-wing. I want to, the model is so cool, it's just.....not good.

We have never flown the attack Shuttle, the tie advanced prototype, the hawk, the new wave, the scyk epic, the shadow caster. I love deathrain the tie punisher pilot especially with bomblet generator and I think trajectory simulator should help as well.

I typically play imps, and have yet to fly a punisher or aggressor, even though I own multiples of each.

This, so much this for me. I truthfully tried to make it work twice but alas it's only barely worth its weight in epic with Bodhi.

Also the Z-95, there is just always better things I can sneak into that space like a captured TIE or the new AP-1.
