Squad building honestly feels pretty open right now.

As an Imperial player I still feel quite restricted.

Looking at you TIE Fighters, TIE Strikers, TIE Aggressors, Imperial Firesprays, TIE Phantoms, TIE Punishers, TIE Bombers, non-RAC Decimators, non-Vader TIE Advanced, non-Inquisitor TIE Advanced Prototypes, & Upsilon.

I seem to have found a happy place with this game finally.

There's boogeymen for sure....and must have upgrades that are a bit maybe overly strong still.

But I'm still seeing a wide variety out there,and honestly..i think almost any list played well can do well.

Feels pretty..pretty...

Pretty

Good.

5:30pm GMT? Yeah, that's a pretty good time to be playing X-Wing.

I'm playing more X-wings thanks to Flight Assist Astro, and they're doing a bit of real work. Even though they/I don't win all the time with them, I at least feel like I have a fair go at it.

That's the core of it for me. If I build a decent list and play smart I FEEL like I can pull out a win. It was tough with how oppressive other recent metas were before the last pair of FAQs.

I flew this the other night at League night:

Luke Skywalker (28)
Adaptability (0)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Rookie Pilot (21)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Rookie Pilot (21)
Flight-Assist Astromech (1)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Blue Squadron Pathfinder (23)
Collision Detector (0)
Jyn Erso (2)
Jan Ors (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Total: 100

Soooo much fun, and I put up a W with it playing against a Blackout + Whisper list. Luke didn't roll any paint on greens and died in 3 shots, after that it was setting up a bunch of killboxes and blocking with the U-Wing to get the win.

It ain't gonna win Worlds, but a lot of fun to put on the table.

YES!

You even got a U-wing in there.

I want to do something similar and throw in a pair of BTL-A4/FAA Y-wings with TLTs. (It's my own issues with TLT, but this is the only way I'll use more than one in a list.)
