It's Tuesday and you know what that means....

....wait a minute, it's Tuesday, not Wednesday....

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

July 4th is tomorrow, so livecast is today!

So what Scum lists do people think will be good in 2.0?

No points, No problem! What looks good?

Images for reference below:

Im looking at Guri, Talonbane, Fenn but only because I am a huge fan of three ship small base lists and im not very creative.

If those 3 fit I will definitely be putting them on the table. The extra hull on talonbane is very helpful and who knows how much customization will be possible for Khiraxz fighters in general.

Joy Reckoff is pretty cool to, and I think its obvious to everyone how insanely good Guri is on paper.

It also just looks really cool on the table which is about 50% of the reason why I liked this in 1.0 and will try it out in 2.0.

What Scum lists do you hope fits?

@Boom Owl I'm looking forward to trying some droid synergy squad featuring Guri, IG88A and maybe 4LOM or something that can carry IG88D crew.

You guys recording tonight?

Yes!

2.0 HYPE!!!!

Listened to a lot of X-wing podcasts for the first time this week driving across state inbetween work. After going through Barons, Krayts, S&V, BTD, and Mynocks before them, I just couldn't get into OCX and gave up after the last couple of podcasts. I enjoy podcasts for hearing strategy, list feedback, deep dive rules info, etc. The secondary hosts are pretty informative but I just couldn't handle the loud screaming slurring drunk host guy. He continually interrupts his co hosts and doesn't really enrich the game study for me. Not into Howard Stern style xwing podcasts. While I'm sure there's an audience for that, it just wasn't for me. I enjoy the Barons, Mynocks, and Krayts, in that order. Wish OCX well though it looks like they have their fans.

Thanks for listening and posting the review! Even if it's not a positive one, it's good to hear all the opinions. And I don't completely disagree with it. You're analogy to Howard Stern is pretty on point, but I would argue that there are enough other podcasts out there doing the Good Morning America, The View, or Sportscenter kind of thing. We know we're not for everyone, but we're glad you gave us a try.

Is it time for us to go for 1000 now?

Mods ought to just lock the Krayd thread, and this one can take over.

Revive this tread!!!!

I may have bias because I'm an OCX local. Our Hyperspace trial can't come soon enough. I need more opportunities to make sure all remaining systems bow to the First Order!

1000 pages is enough, we're moving here now.

triple ghost is wholesome, fight me

ghosts are the most wholesome ship in x-wing, they're like big x-wings without reposition cancer

Im planning on putting Hera on the board soon and try out a few games with her. Likely trying what @Boom Owl has done recently (Hera/Luke/Wedge).

Dilly dilly this thing still works.

Oh this reminds me... I won some OCX range rulers in that Facebook giveaway a while ago.. was there something I needed to do about that? PM Coach my address or something?

@atkrull

Although I don't think he pays attention to ffg forums, so I'd try to PM him on Facebook.

Towards the end of 1e, I was flying a decent amount of double-Ghost + Ezra Sheathipede. Roll in, smash face. I was doing fairly well with it, and went 4-0 in a "PS 6 and under" tournament. Then I took it to a Store Champ and went 1-3 against four rather different 4-ship Flight Assist Astromech lists. Lowkey FAA was one of the most broken cards in 1e. Meanwhile, Lothals lost the utterly busted action economy of Fire Control System, lost the handy filler of Autoblaster Turret, lost the oh-so-wonderful Five. Speed. Koiogarn. Turn. I mean, 4-speed is only 1 small base shorter, but it really feels like it matters.

Yet even still, at first thought, I kind of think three Ghosts is unwholesome. Like eating too many pieces of pie. Seems good, only later you find out it wasn't filled with apples, but filled with regret.

But like, Double Lothal + Saw, Double Lothal + Wedge, Double Lothal + Luke. They all fit. Given that, is three Lothal Rebels really too nasty? Probably not. Particularly if they can't also afford Leia.

However, I want triple Resistance Sympathizer in exchange. Not triple Outer Rim Smuggler or Patrol Leader--just Resistance Sympathizer.

This seems like an appropriate topic for this thread....

What is your drink of choice while you play X-Wing?

Well I can't beat that first response!

I usually go for a shot of Hennessy. Most of my local squad prefer dark ales (not really any specific brand, there's so many breweries here)

Might seriously have to check out those three things Boom Owl posted

Cheap home brewed caf. Though I drink it like runners guzzle water normally so...

I've done best in tournaments with a giant Nalgene full of grape juice, while quietly singing Bob Marley to myself. Don't worry. About a thing. Cause every little thing. Gonna be alright.

I have a 2.5gal mini keg that I keep in a rolling cooler for xwing at BYOB venues. Usually loaded with Citra Pale Ale or Hefeweisen.

Unfortunately 1 store stopped being ByoB and the other is waning in attendance, both used to be fun nights.

I took a bottle of fireball to nationals last year. Shared it around, of course, but it was gone by lunch, and so was I 😂
