[2.0] 3x Firespray

By Eruletho, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, I've been toying with the idea of using 3 of my favorite ship in all of star wars again, now that that's an option in 2.0. I played it several times in 1.0, back prior to wave 4 and the hard death of the Imperial Firespray, and it was always a ton of fun. I only have 2 real 2.0 games so far (both with imperial) but have won a bunch of games against the HotAC AI on Fly Casual using trip'Sprays. The medium bases, native boost, and (oddly) lower relative initiative help them stay on targets far easier than before, without giving up all of the blocking ability the 3 large bases did in 1.0. The list leaves a whopping 2 points for upgrades, which isn't enough for anything important, but might be worth it for a crew on one of them. Tobias Beckett seems perfect, as he can help switch asteroids around to make the medium bases have a better time in the rocks and restrict firing lanes for the aces that will hunt this list down. He also happens to fit exactly in the list at 200 points total. With that in mind, I submit the following:

Trip'Sprays (200 points)
Bounty Hunter (68)
-Tobias Beckett
Bounty Hunter (66)
Bounty Hunter (66)

Give the other 2 Trick Shot :P

I kinda like it, although there aren't many options for changing it without dropping a ship. I'd experiment with taking either Qi'ra or 2x trick shot instead of Tobias sometimes but it would be down to what suits your style.
