Hi all,

So this is just for fun. an idea I was toying with earlier this week, and something to try in a game:

This is 'squadrons' for X-wing, where the potential members are as best as I could canonically make them, using wookiepedia as a guide and trying to keep them thematic. The idea is that if you can keep your squad building to within these columns, you get a very large bonus to offset no longer being able to min-max your squad with the best pilots from different eras. 12pts seemed to be the sweet spot, along with a few extra rules. I am not a professional balancer! I may have gotten it wrong. But the idea would be to promote new ideas and lists based on the rough historical members of famous squadrons.

TLT spam and harpoons are obviously a concern, so a friendly agreement to not have more than one of each might make things fun too. It may also require that you take at least one unique pilot, to prevent too much spam of generics easy to add if needed.

Emphasis entirely on the old series. Curious to see what you think, for home or casual play.

Any reason you left out red squadron? Also that’s a LOT of perks you’re stacking on top of a -12 point reduction.

nope, other than a woops! I missed adding it off the spreadsheet somehow.

as for perks.. didn't think it was outrageous, until I spotted the typo, that should be *unique* pilots.
formation fire only applies to one ship, so it's just a free swarm tactics.

I've edited accordingly and re-added this below

Sure I'll be the guy to ask: ''where is scum?'' I love the Idea, but scum has some subfactions too you know . Hutt Cartel, Black Sun, Bounty Hunters...
