I tried a few games in the Fly Casual simulator, using this build:

Vermeil, AA, LWF, Krennic, ISB Slicer, VI (36)
RAC, EU, Kylo, Palpatine, VI (62)

There are 2 points to move around, or leave it for bid.


But Vermeil is seriously awesome. Jam is amazing, especially with the Slicer. Krennic works as a free FCS, which is great. I also tried LW on him, that's pretty great too. The reaper is surprisingly maneuverable, and can consistently stay out of the arc of even a wookie, without using red moves. The ship can take several hits, and given how you can shut down most missile strikes with Jam, gives it an added surviability.

The 1 sloop is also great, and the angles on this ship make it so, that you pretty much always have a shot if you fly well.

It is great!

I know it can be hard to be excited for 1.0 now, but the Reaper will provide ample fun until 2.0 arrives.

I am finding it too hard to get excited about 1.0 stuff ?

It's a shame as the 1.0 Reaper and Krennick look amazing.

It's Raspberry Vermeil!
