5-6 player free for all- what do you bring?

By Lightningclaw, in X-Wing

Title says it all. 40 points, 1 ship.

Scoring is based on squad point cost divided by total hull and shields. You score points by damaging ships.

Example: you have a 40 point Luke. Luke can take 5 damage. So Luke's hull and shields are worth 8 points apiece. (40 divided by 5 is 8)

You round it to 100ths of a point.

If you destroy a ship, you get 5 points as a bonus in addition to however much damage you did.

What would you bring?

Gemmar Sojan - Proton Rockets, A-Wing Test Pilot, Stealth Device, Elusiveness (30)

Opponents score 7.5 points per damage he takes, but he's hard to hit, and fairly non-threatening, so hopefully not a high priority. Hoping to steal kills with it.

Probably Maarek Stele in an X7 with either Juke or Expertise and Stealth Device.

I'd use PTL over elusiveness. it's just better, even for defense (focus+evade, or acr dodge)

I would take zertik strom with sensor jammer, stealth device, PTL, Prockets. He's quite fun in this situation.

Alternatively, i would use a defender or SF or gunboat.

Is “Lone Wolf” a legal upgrade?

Ooh. Once Saw's Renegades releases, I've got something:

Nera Dantels 26

B-wing/E2 1

Deadeye 1

Ion Cannon 3

Adv ProTorps 6

Extra Munitions 2

Saw Gerrera 1

Exactly 40 points. It won't last forever, but by the gods, I'm gonna watch something burn!

My choice if LW is legal:

•Talonbane Cobra (39) - Kihraxz
•Lone Wolf (1), Assault Missiles (4), Ion Dischargers (1), Vaksai (0), Engine Upgrade (3), Pulsed Ray Shield (1), Autothrusters (1)

are large ships legal?

tel tevura or mandalorian mercenary with gonk and ptl could be brutal.

B-wing

Keyan Farlander

B-wing E/2

Kyle Katarn

Fcs

PTL

flechette torps

total 40 points

Wullffwarro with Predator, Rey, 3PO, and Vectored Thrusters for 40 exact.

Also Rexler Brath with Expertise, x7 title, and Twin Ion Engine Mk. II for 40.

And to have the whole set, Fenn Rau with Push The Limit, Advanced Proton Torpedo, Concord Dawn Protector, and Autothrusters for 40.

C-Roc Cruiser (35)

Heavy Laser Turret (5)

:P

Intensity Guri yea.

I played a free for all yesterday but the point limit was 32, and you only got points for dealing damage or destroying a ship (1 point for damaging 5 for destroying)

I ran a Gunboat as Lieutenant Wasabi with Ruthlessness, XG-1 title, Tractor Beam and Ion Cannon. I didn't get a whole lot of kills, but I was throwing people around and triggering Ruthlessness, at one point I threw another ship to range 1 of the Inquisitor and got the kill with the EPT. The next game I used Tractor Beam to move an x wing to the left to have another Inquisitor in arc at range 1. I triggered Ruthlessness to deal 1 damage, and the x wing got 3 hits through his evade dice.

I didn't get a whole lot of points but MAN it was fun.

Do things like bomb-damage count? If so, I’d say take a Zuvio in a fully kitted out Quadjumper, bringing along Cad Bane & Bomblet, among other things.

Rexler Brath (Defender - 37)

Tractor beam (1)

Veteran Instincts (1)

TIE/D (0)

Deflective Plating (1)

Tractor Ruthlessness Vessery for sure.
He would get free TL's!

Patrol Leader Deci or a Gozanti.

perma cloaked zuvio would be fun as ****

Etahn Abaht Ewing is also fun shenanigans.

Maybe LW, BB8, Sensor Jammer, 40 points

At 40 points, take Miranda, TLT, Sabine, Bomblet. Long Range Scanners probably wont hurt either. Drop a few bomblets early on in the furball to catch a bunch of free AoE damage points, use SLAMmimg and bumping to stay out of killboxes, and regen to stay alive long enough for the field to thin itself out a bit. Once it's down to you and a couple of others, start picking away at them with TLT. One on one you should be the last man standing fairly easily.

Only question is whether regen removes points your opponents have scored. If not, Miranda's probably a bad call, as you'll bleed points. In that case, high PS x7 defender with Expertise. Super hard to kill, does enough damage to earn a few points of it's own. Good middle ground ship.

Lt. Kestal: Deadeye, TLT, Harpoon Missle x2, LWF -39

Quickdraw with Sensor Jammer, spec ops title, advanced Optics, Lightweight Frame, and Ruthlessness.

I played a 10 person FFA with a 50 point limit a few weeks back and brought Tel Trevura with Gonk + Experimental Interface + Wired. If I hadn't misjudged a movement and clipped an asteroid on the last turn before time ran out, I would've ended the round at full health, and also did pretty well for damaging/destroying enemies. So yeah, JumpMaster Gonk is quite good in a FFA scenario.

Nora with VI, Rey, Flight Assist, Title, Adv. Protons, Chips

I would think a regen ship would paint a HUGE target on it in a ffa. I know I’d make temp alliances to wipe regen off the board. Too big of a threat late game. I agree with the people saying points fortress’s and turrents. Best chance for survival. Can you squeeze a Han/3po in there?

edit:just saw the 40 point cap...Eaden Vrill 3po maybe?

Update: We played a 25-point ffa with 4 players. We had:

Laiten? Scyk w/ Heavy Scyk, Flechette Cannon, and Hull upgrade (25)

The cannon is terrifying when you have several foes on all sides. Glued to the evade action!

Nu w/ arsenal loadout, ASLAM, Cruise missiles

He kept winging around the map for shots.

Cartel Muarader w/ 3-mod title, Pulsed Ray Shield, Ion Dischargers, Hull upgrade

Very solid.

Deathfire w/ Prockets, LRS, Munitions, Proximity mines

I think a bomb would have worked better than a mine, honestly.

The Scyk died first (Stealth device would have been smarter) and the Cartel Marauder was in the lead when we called it.
