1 ship, pure dogfight

By Yakostovian, in X-Wing

Imagine this scenario:

You are in a 1v1 dogfight, and you were limited to 1 small ship with no unique pilots or upgrades. What would your single ship and upgrades be? Why?
Honestly, I'm expecting to see a lot of Scurggs.

First order test pilot, PTL, AdvSensors, AdvOptics, Autothrusters.

Never imagined there could be so much green in the galaxy.

Also, out PS every generic save the glaive squadron and royal guard.

Yep. That'll do it all right.

Are turret upgrades legal in this?

EDIT: If turrets are banned I would go with
Imperial Guard Interceptor with Imperial Guard Title, VI +1Hull, +1 Shields

Or just an E-Wing with R2D2 and extra shield.

My intent is nothing unique. Something that could conceivably be flown aside from the aces we normally see, and could be ANYBODY.

TIE Academy Pilot, no upgrades.

Live fast, die young.

Well when turrets are legal I would guess something with a TLT would win.

Do you have a point limit in mind? Because this:

... costs significantly more than this:

:P

Glaive Squadron TIE Defender with Intensity, Engine Upgrade and TIE x7 would be a strong contender.

Or even TIE/D + Ion cannon + Stealth Device (or stuff like that) :

  1. ions you
  2. shoots at you
  3. Go around and do 1. and 2. again while you aimlessly slide slowly forward, out of control.

Change TIE mk2 for stealth device

Glaive, Tie D, Tractor Beam, Stealth Device, With Either Expose or VI if was purely Dogfight

Glaive TIE/D with Expertise, Ion Cannon, Cruise Missiles, and Engine Upgrade. 48 points of space superiority.

And you thought the Silencer was pricy!

R2-D2 is unique. No regen for you.

R2-D2 is unique. No bueno.

I'd fly a Viper but Virago is unique :unsure:

Probably agree with the Tie Defender, Ion, Expertise, choice of modification and missiles

Ooh. If everyone is expecting to win on pilot skill, go the opposite direction. Warden Squadron K Wing with Autoblaster Turret, Bombardier, Extra Munitions, Long Range Scanners, Homing Missiles, Ion Torpedoes, Cluster Mines and Conner Nets. It's going to take you a few turns to joust me down, and eventually I will tag you with an ion torp, an Autoblaster shot and a bomb or two. Or I'd SLAM away for 75 minutes and win on (46) points. :P

E-Wing.

Blackmoon Squadron Pilot

3 Attack

3 Evade.

Great Dial.

Great dial, but you've also neglected to mention what upgrades you'd bring to the fight.

Upgrades, schmupgrades - it's a BLACKMOON Squadron Pilot!

I think if we had a point limit it would be easier to compare alot of these suggestions haha

Rho Sqd Vet. w/ Expertise, XG-1, HLC, Linked, LRS

Or

Black Sun Assassin w/ Intensity, Title, and ATs, its a pretty **** good ship for less than 30 points.

Blackmoon Squadron Pilot
Flight-Assist Astromech
Advanced Proton Torpedoes
Fire-Control System
Engine Upgrade

42 points of shenanigans

I thought your first post said “no upgrades”

Probably a Defender for me. I can understand other ships, but Defender is just my jam.

Before the nerf to Advanced SLAM, I think a K-Wing would have been a top contender.

Ah. I see. My phrasing could be better. The intent is no unique pilots, and no unique upgrades. English* is weird.
