So with second edition’s expensive crew members and force users and everything, it has become possible to fill an entire list with only 1 ship (without a ridiculous initiative bid anyway). This amuses me, so I threw together a couple builds:

#1: This technically has two ships with the docked phantom, but it is possible to play an entire game with only 1 ship on the board so I’m counting it:

VCX-100 Light Freighter - Kanan Jarrus - 135
•Kanan Jarrus - Spectre-1 (90)
Dorsal Turret (4)
Magva Yarro (7)
Maul (13)
Ghost (0)
Ezra Bridger (18)
Heightened Perception (3)

Attack Shuttle - Hera Syndulla - 64
•Hera Syndulla - Spectre-2 (39)
Lone Wolf (4)
Ion Cannon Turret (6)
Nien Nunb (5)
Afterburners (8)
Phantom (2)

Total: 199/200

#2- This one has a very large initiative bid, but the bid is barely small enough that you can’t fit any other ships in the list:

Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter - Han Solo - 178
•Han Solo - Scoundrel for Hire (92)
Lone Wolf (4)
Proton Rockets (7)
Kanan Jarrus (14)
C-3PO (12)
Rigged Cargo Chute (4)
Engine Upgrade (9)
Millennium Falcon (6)
Luke Skywalker (30)

Total: 178/200

Neither list is probably very competitive, but I’m still going to try #1 tonight at casual play just for kicks and giggles and see how it does.

I tried building a fully loaded decimator but could only get Chiraneau up to about 160pts. I haven’t tried Scum yet.

Anyone else want to take a stab at a 1-ship list? Bonus points if it’s actually reasonably competitive (I don’t think anyone is expecting it to be tier 1, but tier 2 or 3 would be respectable).

Best way to play a game, IMHO.

Also, I think "One Ship Fleets" makes for a fine oxymoron.

Indeed.

*Cue the Last Jedi memes* (there are a few good ones that could apply)

Vessery with Juke + Adv Sensor + HLC + Prockets is 111 points. Wonder how much he could solo with that 89 point bid?

Start with the most expensive ship of the game, add the most expensive upgrade:

Super Duper Dash

(100) Dash Rendar
(30) Luke Skywalker
(14) Kanan Jarrus
(6) Expert Handling
(14) Outrider
(4) Rigged Cargo Chute
(6) Static Discharge Vanes
Points 174

Total points: 174

I did the Ghost/Phantom thing in 1E (this isn't new to 2E). It did not go well, but at least in part because I gave the new player I was facing my list ahead of time so he could practice building counter-lists (casual game).

I played with the builder trying to make something thematic. I finally make the sw-rebels team for 200 ( even if I a not great fan of the show)

Spectre squad, 200

Kanan Jarrus — VCX-100 90
Sense 6
Proton Torpedoes 9
Dorsal Turret 4
"Chopper" (Crew) 2
Hera Syndulla 4
Static Discharge Vanes 6
Ezra Bridger 18
Ghost 0
Ship Total: 139

Sabine Wren — Attack Shuttle 38
Outmaneuver 6
"Zeb" Orrelios 1
Afterburners 8
Ion Cannon Turret 6
Phantom 2
Ship Total: 61

I like the synergy Hera/chopper, I like to double tap with 2force token ( for a 1.5 ship squad I think it is essential)

It is probably not good, but probably super fun to play. To bad I don't own a VCX

Why would you take Vessery over literally any other defender pilot if there are no other ships to proc his ability?

uh, not to ruin anyones parade here, but half these lists are 2 ship lists

The 4 force point Kanan is interesting, sadly he can't use his ability on himself, and he ostensibly has nothing else to protect.

In some ways thing a larger bid is actually better. For example, Han with his engine upgrade and a large bid (30-40 points) is a fairly robust point fortress, because they can't get half points off the bid. The larger the bid the less points you need to kill to win the game, assuming you are reduced to half points at some point in the game. This might be the reason we won't see a I6 Defender pilot. Lightside forbid we ever see Vader in a Defender...

Most I could do with Scum, using the "keeping the docked ship docked" style list:

YV-666: (72) Moralo Eval
(1) Hound's Tooth
(6) Outmaneuver
(6) Static Discharge Vanes
(7) Proton Rockets
(5) Contraband Cybernetics
(5) Ion Cannon
(13) Maul
(10) Perceptive Copilot
(10) GNK "Gonk" Droid
Points 135

Z-95-AF4 Headhunter: (31) N'dru Suhlak
(6) Outmaneuver
(8) Afterburners
(7) Proton Rockets
(5) Cloaking Device
Points 57

Total points: 192

Really? Kanan can’t use his ability on himself? Isn’t a ship considered to be in its own firing arc?

Nope. It's at range 0 of itself, but arcs begin at the edge of the base.

Hilarious.

Yep, you are right. Bugger. I hope they errata Kanan’s ability because it’s pretty useless when you can’t use it on 2/3rds if your list (for a fairly typical Ghost + docked Phantom list).

Very true. I wasn't going for quality. He's just the spendiest defender.
