My farewell tournament to 1.0

By Admiral Deathrain, in X-Wing

I have just registered for my final 1.0 tournament, a store championship. I could not care less about my performance. I do care about going out on a bang. Literaly.

I'm ready to instalose to any Wookies I see. That day I will live for the moment my opponent realizes they are up against a trio of Punishers. Using reveal bombs. The only thing I am not quite sure about is the bomb loadouts, but I'll decide that on a whim.

Anyone else doing something really stupid to celebrate 1.0 leaving?

Yes.

I'm actually flying cheating meta junk.

I've flown fun jank for two years, and I'm ready to cheat to win with abusive Miranda and Poe.

Going out in style.

I’ll be flying this dumpster fire list, and loving every single moment of it.

4 TIE Phantoms is a thing I will do again before the end. Nothing but courier droids on them.

Haven’t figured out my game plan yet, but it’ll probably be a list I cannot legally play in 2.0

I'm not exactly a meta player, but since the 2.0 announcement I've been even more careless on what I bring to the table. I mean, few weeks ago I used this on a tournament (2-1):

Last week I flew a good ol' TIE swarm for an unexpected 3-0.

The most serious thing I plan to use for what's left of 1.0 is certain Boba-Kath list for the unnoficial "big" tournaments circuit we have on Spain, and it's build around Fearlessness and Cluster Missiles so is as silly as dangerous in the right situation.

I also expect to use Emon on *at least* one tournament per month until then. Probably on the Store Championships :P. Lovely Deathrain will go out often too.

I’ve been toying around with a 4x TIE interceptor list... not sure if I’ll take that to a tournament though. Depends on how fun it is to fly.

I've been practicing a 4 TIE Bomber (UR + LWF) + Countdown list. It's solid, it's probably good practice for 2.0, and it eats 0-1 agility ships for lunch and is certainly a threat to Ace-y ships when all those Bombers turn about for a joust. Fairly survivable, too.

Good practice for 2.0 since the Gunboat is very similar and I'm getting my boy Stele in his Defender a send off (unless he's in the Defender re-release *fingers crossed*).

I am flying combinations that I won't be able to in 2.0. I really love Rebal Nym so Flying him with my other favorite the Ghost

I'll be flying something first order. Not locked in yet. Tried triple tie /sf's last night. Was fun.

I stick with 5 Omega squadron pilots with advanced optics and crackshot.

A blast ! I have 5 victories with them and will use them for a friendly night tournament this friday ! :)

I will certainly play a another squad because I hesitate between 2 lists :

Zeta Leader/Scourge/Mauler Mithel/Dark Curse/Backstabber/Wampa or Duchess/Mauler Mither/Scourge/Howlrunner/Zeta Leader

well now that the Reaper has a street date, I'm gonna have to rethink this......

Does Rebel Nym with with Proton bombs? That'd be fun, him and some loaded out Ywings

I'm running the Quickdraw and 2 PS 4 Silencer list right now as my farewell to 1.0 list. I'm 12-6 with it so far, including a top 4 finish at the System Open at KublaCon. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it back up after Wave 2 drops in 2.0 with the release of the FO conversion kit.

I've been running Fenn/Asajj/Unkar and Viktor/Asajj/Unkar for a while now, and it's astoundingly awesome. On my bucket list is:

4 Lambdas (1 yorr, all courier'd).
Dead man's Z-95 swarm.
Intel and STA quadjumper swarm.
Quadruple gamme squad vets with cluster mines,adrenaline rush and extr munitions where possible. (K-turn and drop 4 overlapping sets right in front of an enemy).
And finally I'll fly the first list I ever won a tournament with - Etahn, Biggs and Horton. Good times.

Decimator And Lambda.

That's a list I've been meaning to try since Kylo crew was revealed.

But I have only played once this year, so I may not get the chance :(

Same punishers but Unguided and Trajectory

You HAVE TO trajectory protons, that's where all the fun is

You haven’t lived until you’ve run five Alphas with Autothrusters.

That’s something I love; or better load four with Stealth too; or three mid-tier named pilots loaded; all fun!!! Best SW ship ever!

if I can get someone to let me borrow an Upsilon again (my wife gave mine still in the wrapping to my brother in law the day after I bought it right off the truck at my LGS), I’d run:

36 TIE Silencer "Blackout" PS7 (31): Trick Shot (0), Collision Detector (0), Autothrusters (2), Title (2), Advanced Optics (2)

38 Upsilon-class Shuttle: "Starkiller Base Pilot" (30): Targeting Synchronizer (3) Rebel Captive (3), Intelligence Agent (1)

26 TIE/FO Fighter: "Omega Leader" (21): Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

New bounty: win a Store Champs with Fel’s Wrath.

X Wings, U-Wings, and all the ships I’ve only ever flown once. Also TIE swarms. Lots of them.

Try 5 scimitars with unguided rockets and lightweight frame.

A guy went 4-3 at the europeans with them.

Mad respect for him!
