Keyan Farlander and Jake Farrell flew out of Rebel Aces and into my heart. Keyan Farlander is my vanguard and Jake Farrel is my light brigade.

There were other ships I wanted to give honorable mention to in this thread, but I could not allow them to share the same post with Jake and Keyan.

I have a few casual play passions:

Rebel small base ships with crew slots. I keep building lists with HWK’s, Attack Shuttles, Rebel TIE, etc.

Imperial Pocket Aces. I have a list with Inquisitor, Omega Leader and Duchess. I’m actually hoping for another true PS8 pocket ace to replace Inquisitor in that list.

TIE Phantoms. I always have Whisper and Echo prepped.

I actually wish Scum had anything I could add to this list. The whole faction disappoints me. I sold and traded away most of my Scum. I’ve always wanted to try BroBots, but not enough to buy before I try.

Same. I have taken Keyan/Jake/Tycho builds to many tournaments. I actually always won as many games as I lost, which I count as a victory!

The friggin TIE Phantom.

Not a good idea for inexperienced players. I put it on a rock on second turn on my second game with it. The first i didn't have a shot many times.

I have to try it again, now that i have "some" more experience.

TiE Strikers in basically any form, in addition to the good old TiE Interceptor aces (especially Turr "Suck my Threat Tracker" Phennir)

U-Wing and

Tomax

That said I went almost undefeated for a tourney season using Tomax back in the day, oh the memories

Dace Bonearm. I'm so close to cracking the code...

Have you tried K4 droid + ion turret? Simple but it seems to work for me.

My mountain though would be the Firespray, both Scum and Imp. It's just so pretty and I know I can make it work but somehow I still feel like I'm struggling.

With Phantoms it’s okay to not have a shot as long as your opponent doesn’t have one either. This is kind of true with all lists, but it’s essential with fragile aces like Phantoms. If you can’t get a good position to shoot, plan a couple rounds ahead and disengage. Use your decloak and 3 or 4-speed maneuvers to get out of range. Cloak again, then next round you should be back in the fight on your terms.

Thanks for the advice.

I think i am a bit better now judging distances than then. I have to give Whisper another try.

Synched Turret. I want this to work so badly. I've had a little success running it on nym or Jan alongside Shara Bey. But otherwise TLT is just better. Boring. But better

try on a Ghost?

The TIE Striker- I keep trying, and it keeps dying. First.

Concerning the Striker, I had a fun but mostly useless squad consisting of Duchess, Double Edge, and the Inquisitor.

Well I love TIE Bombers and the Lambda Shuttle. If I can squeeze them in a squad or find a scenario I'll get them in.

I really wish there was a figure for the TIE Shuttle too, or a proper repurposed TIE Bomber figure.

1) Etahn A'baht. Still the best I've ever done in a store championship (top table) was Etahn, B, 3Z.

2) Corran with advanced sensors is, and always has been, better than FCS.

Jake.

Wedge with PTL, R2, and Integrated.

Norra.

His Name is Jonus...

I have tried him escorted byTIE Bombers, Aggressors, Alphas, heck even a couple of HLC Firesprays.

I want that 2 rerolls to mean something. I mean it should be great on cluster missiles right. It Should Be Great!... it should be great...

Scum small base ships with the notable exceptions of the Protectorate and Scurgg.

I was in love with the Viper at first sight. G4H helped them get to the middle of the pack power wise I think, but they clearly aren't even close to top dog.

For a lot of scum small ships it feels like their hey day was back before they were released; G1A could have been competitive back when BBBBZ was, M3As could have done things back before ordnance was so good, the Quadjumper is a sub par control piece in an offense oriented meta. The Khiraxz with Vaksai and StarVipers are a couple of years off being good; if they had these toys when they were released they might have had some time in the lime light.

I also have a soft spot for A-Wings, and Strikers though I mostly play Scum.

Quad starvipers - they were a fun challenge before, but now - they're actually pretty good... still not great.

Intercepters, some days I do not care how bad they end up doing I just want to fly my Intercepters. 1 or 5 does not matter I will drop them down and go. Some days, I pwn with them, other days I look at them then at my dice and go “Seriously?”

The YT-2400. It is the ship that made me try X-Wing in the first place. Favorite ship in the Star Wars universe.

I just lucked out because of how the game designed it better than most ships.

Even if the Outrider title was ban, I would still find a way to play it.

I almost have Eaden Vrill viable in a list wth the Phantom 2’s release.

You've tried Countdown right? I think he's the real gem out of the three named Pilots. If you can get him past the mid game (round 5 or 6) he is can really be the MVP of the game.

I will die on the mountain of Crom.
