He literally is genius that works with mines. I like VTG with Proxy Mines and Seismics on him. I have been playing with Traj. Sim and Rose Tico, but the Sim isn't super great on him. Might try Paige Tico instead. How would you build him and his wingmates?

RZ-2 A-wing - •Tallissan Lintra - 36
•Tallissan Lintra - Deadly Approach (35)
Heroic (1)

T-70 X-wing - •Nien Nunb - 61
•Nien Nunb - Sarcastic Survivor (55)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-foils (Closed) (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)

MG-100 StarFortress - •Edon Kappehl - 98
•Edon Kappehl - Crimson Hailstorm (69)
Trajectory Simulator (3)
•Rose Tico (9)
Proximity Mines (6)
Seismic Charges (3)
Veteran Turret Gunner (8)

Total: 195/200

A friend of mine ran Edon against me with Proxy mines a couple times, and likely will again. The threat area was pretty huge and extremely difficult to avoid. Seems a bit of a trick, knowing when to drop them. I was lucky to avoid them rather than managing it on purpose. Staying out of his danger zone and not ending up in the one with 3 A Wings in it is also quite a trick. I don't quite have the hang of it for sure.

I wasn't particularly bothered by the VTG. If he has decently threatening wingmates, he seems good enough on the cheap. His bombs and arc coverage, the 3 dice primary, can all do enough work on their own against me.

Oh, and the 3 A's seemed to require a little fine tuning. Greer, Tallie, L'ulo. I haven't faced the Homing version yet but it seems a goer.

I'm a big fan of Paige on the Bomber, especially when coupled with Vet Turret Gunner. And Rose.

It’s basically 1.0 mines again but as a free action now. Can’t wait to see what other 1.0 mechanics they bring back.

Except not because it's a fat base and a **** awful dial; incredibly easy to block

1st Ed mines were ASLAM, small base kwings

We're not even remotely close to that

Different power level, same mechanics.

I dont think you read Fickles post properly, put it there so you can read it again.

It's not the same as ASLAM K's at all. ASLAM K's had full knowledge of where ships are, or are going to be. If you are Higher int than Edon you know where he is going to be, so you can avoid him, if you are lower Int you can block him. It is not the same mechanic at all.
