What r u planning on plying in hyperspace format?

By Greedo_Sharpshooter, in X-Wing Squad Lists

What squad(s) r u looking at playing for hyperspace format???

As a scum player im looking at...

3x Bounty Hunter or...

2x Bounty Hunter + Fenn Rau or...

1x Bounty Hunter, 1x Shadow Caster, 1x Fenn/Predator [edit: Shadow Caster didnt make it to hyperspace :( ]

Pretty sure Shadow Caster's not in Hyperspace, bub.

Until January? Whatever YASB delivers the day before the match.

Or just four PS1 T-70s with HLCs as bullseye practice for future Predators, Crackshots, Prockets etc.

My first big Hyperspace isn't till April, so waiting till all the changes in January to start deciding what to fly.

****, ur right. scratch that last list. 2x BH it is for me :)

Already had a small "Second Edition" event a few weeks ago (did well), which was like Hyperspace before Hyperspace.

I flew Fenn Rau (Outmaneuver), Old Terroch (Fearless), Kad Solus (Elusive), total 190, bid 10. Maybe that's not a huge bid depending on your local scene, but it worked out for me that day.

First Order, definitely.

I'm an aggressive ace player by habit from 1.0 ... we're a great match.

Boba + YT with Lando + Seevor + L3-37

Plus obviously FO main :D

Looks crazy strong, but I suspect it will go up for like 20 pts in January before any Hyperspace event goes live :)

yep. proton bombs there for swarms and 8pt bid most likely for enemy fenn rau's.

Tie swarms strikers. Reaper vermile is good.

4 tie SF with shieldupgrade and some bling!

Quickdraw (45) with Fanatic (2), Gunner (10) and Shield (6) - 63

Blackout (70) with Trick Shot (1) - 71

Recoil (63) with Predator (2) - 65

Total - 199

Resistance: Han Solo & Poe Dameron ~ Rey & Poe Dameron

Two I6's seems fun and with Han Solo's ability, Solo w/Proton Rockets seems very effective.

First Order: Kylo Ren and a combination of a TIE/SF or TIE/FO or both of them.

Does Han have reload?

No. Relooked but he's still going to be a force to reckon with

Yes. It is red though. But with proper positioning shouldn't be an issue.

That is the rotate action for the turret. Compare to the action bar of the Y-Wing which has a red reload and no rotate bare.

You're right I just looked again. I still stand by Han w/proton rockets and being formible especially turn one with his ability to position himself in a favorable position to alpha strike.

Wasn't questioning the potential. Just clearing up a bit of confusion due to the two symbols looking similar. :)

Yeah, I read it wrong. I posted the list I was thinking about trying above. If you can get that proton rocket to hit immediately and then Poe can follow up with a fully modded torpedo the top threat could be immediately eliminated.

I like it a lot honestly, what % of games does the procket go off on turn 1/2 in?

Don't know but it'd be worth a try with Han Solo, dumping a fully modded Proton Rocket attack into the biggest threat the opponent has is welcoming. Especially if you can either remove it totally or render it useless after Turn 1 or 2.

I am looking at the rebel situation. I would like to get A millennium falcon with Luke gunner on the table. I am loving the saw crew card to help make every shot count. Guaranteed shoots every turn? Count me in.

No idea yet. Really like the new A-Wings, and I've got a 5-ship First Order list that I like on paper. Han/Poe is another possibility but it's not really my type of thing.

Need to judge how strong the top jousting threats are - I think that's X-Wing torp alpha and TIE Swarm. Those are the things that could smash you down I think and you'll need a plan for them.
