What are the ships/upgrades you love so much that you always try to make work no matter what, no matter how bad they are in the meta, no matter how hard they die?

I have 2 ships:

A-Wing, HWK-290 (Specifically Jan), U-Wing, Wedge

upgrades:

Snap Shot

Every other meta cycle I seem to be able to be pretty competitive with my A-Wings. However since the intro of Nym and trajectory bombing nym. and super accurate harpoons... A-Wings just are too fragile. However... 3/4 of my rebel lists of late have had Jan Ors this cycle.

at least Wedge is somewhat viable right now lol

Triple T-70s.

Weapons Guidance, Seismic Torps, Cluster Missiles, TIE Punisher, Enhanced Scopes.

For some reason, I can't fly Soontir or Fenn Rau worth a ****. They have yet to survive turn 2 against anyone but a newbie I am teaching the game to.

I'm kinda stuck trying to make a B-Wing work. Still more fireball.

It used to be ordnance; I used them all the time pre Chips when often it was a waste of points.

Now, it's the TIE Punisher. I have 6 of them, figuring they would be beasts. . .and I still try to add them to a list even though I know the suck BAAAAADDDD.

Echo. Man I love flying a Phantom but holy crap to they vaporize at the drop of a hat.

Same with the Strikers! And now Blackout in the silencer. I already have 2 silencers, aiming for 3 here soon. And I'll just keep trying.

Waiting to get a FO version of a Phantom!

Ghost with a turret other than TLT

I finally climbed off the Imperial Firespray mountain. I do try to fly a Punisher every now and again. I'm also missing one of my old favorites: Epsilon Ace. I ought to put them back on the table now that Advanced Optics is out there.

For upgrades, I have a fascination with Ion Pulse Missiles, but I never seem to fly them too much. I also fell in love with Wired early, (and have this dream of Wired/Gonk/Experimental Interface) but so far I've mostly stayed on in the lower foothills.

Have you tried flying 4 T-70s, or 2x T-70 and some other third ship?

I do occasionally, but 210 X wings is the only number I’m interested in. :-)

U-wing. Flew a Dash Cassian combo the other day and went 2-2 in a tournament full of regional winners & worlds top 16s, so I can’t complain.

If only there were a thread dedicated to this and this alone.

Sneaky good with LWF and the correct crew or ordinance. Tie Bombers arent great but I refuse to say they are bad.

Quadjumper with whatever tractor things

U-wing is the ship I love to fly. When the ship first came out I won several smaller tournaments with a biggs, keyan, cassian list and with 4 pathfinders w/ fcs.

I love the U-Wing. I've gone 3/2 in a tournament with it and Rey. The Cassian build I fly is actually "concerning" to a lot of opponents, which is hilarious. Someone else posted it first... but it's expert handling, experimental interface, title, adv.sensors, kyle kartan, and inspiring recruit. Nothing says fun like a 3 focus barrel rolling U-Wing!

Tie Bombers. They just aren't good, even with a Veterans treatment. Gunboats are far superior ordnance platform and the Imperials don't have a bombing crew so they bomb the worst.

Fenn Rau, Guri and Talenbane Cobra are my mountains. Countess Ryad on an Ion D is starting to look like one, too.

That sounds sooooo janky, I love it! Gotta try that.

My mountain is now and always shall be Krassis. Imp Firespray FTW! Also Punishers... just think, someday there will be a proper fix, and then who's gonna be laughing, eh?! :-p

It used to be the HWK, but it seems I understood how to handle it and therefore moved on.

Now it's the quadjumper.

And double Firesprays.

StarViper. So close to amazing. So prone to whiffing. So much fun to fly, either way.

The TIE Fighter Aces are mine, I want them to work sooooo bad but I can't keep them alive.

Enjoyed messing around with Intensity Jake and Kyle Katarn combo. It's not something I'll "die on a mountain top" for, but I'll attempt to put it on the table against anything and make you experience it.

Emon (and the other Firesprays to a lesser degree) is my spirit animal. No matter how's the meta, how big the tournament is (hello Opens and Euros) or what new toy I may be in love, sooner or later I'm always going back to him.
