Build your perfect 300 point fleet (No faction limits)

Automated Protocols (5)
Bright Hope (5)

Red Squadron Pilot (23) x3
R2 Astromech (1)

One question... Can I put X's, Y's, A's, Z's, Kihraxz or M3-A's on my Gozanti?

Initial thoughts. Etahn with a bunch of Vaksai's should lay down a world of hurt. Also kicking around Jabba riding on the Falcon with Han and smuggling compartments for the double burnout Slam, just for the laughs.

Absolutely!

This would be awesome but thematically you’d have to have some movement limitations.

”Solo get this spice order!”

”I said left Solo!”

”Solo go through Burger King!”

“Solo where’s my vape!”

“Solo fly straighter my dancer keeps falling over!”

My first thought is 10 GR-75s deployed in a straight line - just ram to the other side of the map and declare victory....

I'm thinking of a mish-mash between the three factions, playing on their strengths:

Fenn Rau (22)
VI
FAA

2 x Crimson Squadron Pilots (34)
Proton Bombs
Ordnance Silos
Trajectory Simulator
Deflective Plating

Crimson Squadron Pilot (32)
Thermal Detonators
Ordnance Silos
Trajectory Simulator
Deflective Plating

4 x Nu Squadron Pilots (22)
Harpoon Missiles
Long Range Scanners

C-ROC Cruiser (45)
Heavy Laser Turret
Dengar
Zuckuss
IG-RM Thug Droids

C-ROC Cruiser (45)
Heavy Laser Turret
Maul
Boba Fett
IG-RM Thug Droids

Totalling 300 points.

Fenn is a general pain (it was him or a fifth Nu), but can be devastating against a Huge ship, and his coordinate action can be useful on occasion. The Bombers deal out vicious crits to the clustered battlefield in front of them, and stress ships too. The Nus are devastating with their double-modded shots (1 turn of setup), and essentially force the opponent to fly stupidly spread out in combination with the bombs. Both C-ROCs have brutal attacks with free rerolls, crits and ofhter messes. Boba is specifically for any Outriders, Ordnance Tubes and so on.

This list has so much hull and an insane amount of offense, just at a very low pilot skill.

12 gunboats. 300 pts. Sounds perfect to me.

I believe the limit is 8 for Epic tournament play, but I'm sure FFG will have no problem selling you an extra 4...

Is this a new FAQ? Also, are Epic tourneys a thing now?

Oh wow, the new epic FAQ is Bantha Poodoo. If I wanted to have cards restricted to 4 copies I would play MTG.

Ooh CR-90 with both vader and sheild tech and repair droid on Tantive VI. (He kept it as a little surprise for the rebels).

Yeah, FFG likes to stealth-update sometimes. I've played in one epic tourney myself (no prize support, though).

I'm in favour of a "restriction list" for certain cards - Proton bombs, harpoon missiles, TLTs and so on that become amazingly effective in Epic play. but as for ships, I don't care how many are on the table, so fly 12 gunboats to your heart's content, but only 4 with harpoons.
