What are you going to put on the table after you bring home Saw’s or the Reaper?

I’m looking forward to a new and improved 4X list (ok one is a T-70):

Wedge w/ Predator, FAA, Refit, Integrated, S-foils (30)

Tarn Mison w/ Refit, M9/G8, integrated, s-foils (24)

*Rookie w/ Refit, FAA, integrated, s-foils (20)

Jess Pava w/ R2, integrated astro (26)

It’s blunt instrument with lots of red dice and HP to chew through. Plus, lock your generic with M9 to start and you’ve got re-rolls for everyone on that first pass.

*Edited to correct generic cost

You won't have an X-wing that cheap to use in the squad. Cavern Angel Zealot (the new generic X-Wing) has been spoiled from Store Championship kits. It's 22 points, but has an Elite upgrade. I think that's a really cool direction: rather than getting a cheaper X-Wing, it's the lowest PS Elite Upgrade ship out there. Makes it a lot more interesting than just a cheap PS 1.

With Renegade Refit and Flight Assist, it'd be 21 points before an Elite. I'm currently fascinated by Intimidation. 22 points for a potent looking blocker.

Ah thanks hadn’t seen that spoiled yet. In that case I can just drop the primed thrusters off of Jess and use a good old Rookie. Cavern with Crackshot is tempting though, would just need to find another point somewhere

Biggs with selflesness,r2d6. Wes with vi,faa. 48pt corran.

Really trying not to field a squad of four TIE reapers....

Scarif Base Pilot, Advanced Ailerons, Lightweight Frame is 24 points. I'm not sure what to spend the other point on as a standard build; Inspiring Recruit and Intelligence Officer are both nice but you don't need many of either. A couple of each could work, I guess, with courier droids in the other slot to let me deploy at PS8.

Alternatively, I can switch one of them to Captain Feroph, Advanced Ailerons, Courier Droid, ISB Slicer and Lightweight Frame plus a 0-point EPT of choice (probably A Score To Settle).

Whether or not it assigns a jam token or double-stresses, if it works out to R2 then jam will be the best action in the game. I'm hoping for stress, but it's unlikely that they'll go for it. Either way, I'm going to be flying 3 LWF/Courier Reapers and a Harpoon/ExtraMunitions/Deadeye Rho. Punch, manoeuvrability, hull and anti-ace power altogether.

Saw gives EVERYBODY rerolls, they can castle for starters in a corner and wait to see where people will go. Norra makes up for the weaker offense, Strezra is impossible to ignore, Saw works as a lovely blocker.

Also, 4x Cavern Angel Zealots w/ Expertise, Refit, FAA, IA, S-Foils for a HARD hitting swarm that can easily maneuver.

I like it. You could also make your 4th ship a Jess Pava with M9-G8. Give someone else a re-roll and she would be harder to kill herself.

Here's what I've worked out so far.

Saw Gerrera (26)
Intimidation (2)
Thrust Corrector (1)
Renegade Refit (-2)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
Rey (2)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
Ion Projector (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Benthic Two-Tubes (24)
Advanced Sensors (3)
Renegade Refit (-2)
Jan Ors (2)
Recon Specialist (3)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)
Ion Projector (2)
Pivot Wing (0)

Wedge Antilles (29)
Push the Limit (3)
Renegade Refit (-2)
R2-D2 (4)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Total: 100
