The Most Expensive Ship in the Game

By GLEXOR, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, I was just thinking to myself “What is the most expensive that a ship can get?”. So I decided to figure it out.

Here’s what I came up with:

The most expensive ship in the game

(100) Dash Rendar
(14) Kanan Jarrus
(30) Luke Skywalker
(5) Contraband Cybernetics
(7) Proton Rockets
(6) Shield Upgrade
(6) Expert Handling
(14) Outrider
Points 182

Total points: 182

What do you think? Is it viable? (He asked sarcastically)

You have to bring two ships. Thats what the rules are saying.

Paige 3 Tournament Regulation:

„Squad Building
Each player must build one squad to use in a tournament. A squad cannot exceed 200 points, though it may contain fewer than 200 points. A legal squad list contains between 2 and 8 ships from a single faction.“.

You can get rid of Contraband (5), and add a Z95 Bandit (23)so that makes the list 200 with 2 ships, giving you the most expensive 'legal' ship at 177 points. ;)

Tournament regulations.
I dont think OP plan to go to a tournament with this. he simply made the most expensive ship.

If you want one ship on the board, then fly a Ghost with a docked shuttle. Kanan with a bunch of extras is probably fun to get on the table although not terribly competitive

Think you have it there. S&V at best can get a 142 point Boba.

The most expensive FO ship is a decked out Kylo. Yep. More than an Upsilon by 2 points. I was surprised.

TIE/vn Silencer - •Kylo Ren - 126
•Kylo Ren - Tormented Apprentice (82)
Proton Torpedoes (9)
Proton Rockets (7)
Afterburners (8)
Supernatural Reflexes (12)
Primed Thrusters (8)

Total: 126/200

Upsilon -class Shuttle - •Captain Cardinal - 124
•Captain Cardinal - Principled Instructor (64)
Advanced Sensors (8)
Ion Cannon (5)
•Kylo Ren (11)
GNK “Gonk” Droid (10)
Perceptive Copilot (10)
Static Discharge Vanes (6)
Pattern Analyzer (5)
Targeting Synchronizer (5)

Total: 124/200

Huh, I didn’t know this rule even existed! Why do they have to ruin my fun? :)

(30)    Luke  Sk  yw  al  ke   r    

Well, I never... who’d have guessed that the most expensive ship would be the most ridiculously overpriced pilot, with the most ridiculously expensive upgrade equipped?

If you take Luke out of the equation, it comes down to 170 with Ezra gunner... and is still 9 points more than the most expensive legal build for RAC! :o

Most I could get in Imperial Navy was RAC at 163. He does have 3 Force points though, and aside from Outmaneuver all the upgrades aren't actually useless...

(88) Rear Admiral Chiraneau
(16) Grand Inquisitor
(14) Darth Vader
(6) Proximity Mines
(12) Fifth Brother
(6) Dauntless
(6) Static Discharge Vanes
(6) Outmaneuver
(9) Proton Torpedoes
Points 163

I’d got to 161, dropping Outmaneuver for Lone Wolf... but thinking about it, I suspect that Outmaneuver can actually trigger on the Proton Torpedoes (since they count as a forward arc attack)! :o

Outmaneuver useless on this build? Heck if I see this coming my way I’m turning around and GTFO.

Just imagine if your childhood dream was to run 22 vultures droids
