Listen to @gennataos :D

He echoed my thoughts on what to put on generics perfectly in the above post.

And at @theBitterFig @gennataos

I want Poe!!! 😝

So, I’ve been thinking..... Finn has issues with time on target altho he does hit hard initially. I’ve actually been wondering if I can’t get more damage out put with an AZ2.... just from shear time on target.

So.... trade in of Zari?

I'm not sure, I'm not comfortable with Poe enough to give advice. What I can tell you is that I entered a TTS tournament with a pretty high standard of play and will test out Poe + 3 there and then do a write up.

So ladies and Gents I bring to you XXXx re-forged.

I like it, although not fully sure about overdrive in there, what about automated target priority?

Here is my idea I had as well

The idea is for Nimi to lock Finn and double mods for everybody. Free calculates if anybody somehow misses their shots. Yeah I gotta shoot the closest guy but I wanna rain down as much fire as I can.

...actually while typing I realize since a good junk are IN 2 that means even if say Finn kills the guy he sticks around until the end of IN 2s shooting...which means both Bastian and Nimi would HAVE to shoot the dead guy if he was the closest target...

Maybe I could mess around with the points to swap something else in...

If M9 and Bastian are in the same list, why not put them together? If you damage a ship before it shoots you can lock him for your attack and you can take a little edge off your opponent's offense. If one of your ships takes damage, you can boost his attack up if you need to, action free.

The idea of this build is to lock Finn so he can get rerolls so that he has double mods. If I put it on Bastian, which isn't bad, then the lock may start moving around and Finn gets no rerolls. Different circumstances and hard decisions may arise if its on Bastian, like do I move the Lock from Finn to the enemy and lose out on rerolls? Plus I feel Bastian and Jess are already priority targets for my opponents already, figure M9 being on Nimi may maje the opponent question who to focus on.

It's an idea that admittedly does sound good, I do wanna try it both ways to see what I like more.

This squad is close to the previous one but is HS, what do yo think?

i wonder how the daredevil-overdrive-Nien combo will work.

This is the most point and shoot list imaginable. Don't know if it's good, but tokened up T70's with optics seem sturdy if nothing else.

So I tried this and won 200-0 against a veteran player. Early returns suggest it’s decent.

Going to post this little devil here before this forum is gone...

Poe is not really there to get hits in (although he is good at that too). Poe paints the target and Nimi and Bastian pulverize it.

I see what you're going for, but I think it might be better to add a fourth ship like Merl or Rose. Drop the torps and excess off Poe and you could take Rose with C3-PO.

I'm really going to miss this thread. It and it's predecessor are responsible for a lot of my x-wing success the last couple of years. Big thanks to Greendragoon, Rstan, Gennataos and all the others who contributed and taught me so much.

A bunch of us moved on to a private Discord a long time ago, allowed us to have more quality discussions at length, ping me if you are interested.

As for my parting post for this topic here's the list I've been running. Back to the roots of the list with 3 double modded X and a double modded small x
