What squads/ships r u seeing played at ur LGS or area post points adjustment?

None yet, been sick at home without table time 😞

Hopefully I can report back something different this evening

I've seen... Scum jank, han/wedge/thane, dual firespray, imperial aces, bossk/boba.

Last club night, just 1,5 days after points drop

-still a lot Empire, esp Juke Phantoms and Gunbloats

-some more odd stuff, Double Resistance YT13, Ghost Hera(w/o shuttle, Nien, Leia)-Norra Y-Barrage Miranda

-one IG2000 with IG 88D on some other ship (cannot recall what it was)

-Y-wings with VTG

Self having fun with Sol Sixxa (Skilled Bombardier), Joustero, Seevor and Kavil. Although Seevor was fun, I might switch to Genesis Red or Serissu with tractor beam.

Two tournaments this weekend.

RAC/Whisper went 5-0 in one. Han/Hera won the other one 4-0.

Large ships have come out to play.

TIE Fighters, Kihraxz Fighters, TIE Defenders, IG-88 and a U-Wing.

I’m gonna be flying me some E- and K-Wings tonight!

As well as my current favourite of 5 RZ-2 A-Wings, of course...

Scurrgs and B-Wings are doing well locally. Generally fewer Quadjumpers. People seem to be shying away from Imperials, but I suspect that won't last, it's just an instinctive reaction to points increases.

Rebel Lando seems very popular, and already strong Y-Wings seem more powerful than every. With the worst Imperial offenders gone, I think maybe Resistance might be the ace faction of choice right now, with Poe, Nien, Ello, Rey, Lulo and Tallie doing very well in Extended as well as Hyperspace. Personally I'm still undefeated with my now decently buffed triple Inquisitor squad (-3 points each, and markedly fewer protorps hitting the table!), but I'm looking forward to trying out some underplayed Scum ships, like Lancers, Scurrgs and Scyks.

It's an interesting option. +12 points for a stronger primary and +2 shields, swapping astromech for crew (and +1I , but who cares). Still don't quite understand why the Scurrg lacks the reload action though, seeing as both the Y-Wing and the Kimogila has it.

A 5 Y-wing list just won a local tournament yesterday going undefeated (Gray Squadron w/ Ion Turret & Proton Bombs x5) and I came in 2nd running 3 Y-wings & 1 U-wing with the 5 Y-wings being my only loss.

I saw someone fly 4x scum yt1300 generic pilots with shield upgrade. It didn’t have enough punch but was a huge pain to chew through all that health.

Lots of veteran turret gunner Ywing combos, both Rebel pilots and Kavil.

Fenn is still out there, but now other large base ships are being tried out.

This weekend, I tried out IG88A + IGB with elusive, title, and the free jamming beam, combined with Lando falcon, IGD crew, and some upgrade combos (I tested rigged chute and trick shot, but I feel like that’s not quite right - debating if I should just take debris clouds and use those 6 points on the title).

Its pretty fun - susceptible to alpha striking I am sure but it’s decent against token stacking aces if you time the shots so one of the IG2000s fires first. They either take damage or spend tokens is ideal, though that jam beam means you can really strip tokens leaving them exposed to second IG and Lando. I don’t foresee this being a power meta list, but it’s fun.

Too soon! Only had the 1 casual night since then. A couple went full on with the new values, Corran, Miranda and RAC all made an appearance.

RAC with 5th Bro and Sai giving him a Reinforce token is mean as ****.

I played against an E+E+B list that was pretty nasty. Granted I was flying VCX and it was Gavin+Generic E both with Protorps, so I got critted to death pretty hard.

Big ships have returned. Han, Rey, RAC particularly, also seen more of Fith Brother Phantoms and Leia crew. But now more than ever Tripsilons are showing up.

On my way to try out Han, Ketsu and Lok. I am curious what will await me on the other side of the table

E-wings.

I’ve been working with E-Wings and Lancers to see if the point change has given them a new lease on life. Still early going, but I’m hopeful. Giving new Boba builds a try and some more Rebel Jank a try (hello 2pt Leia). I think my next experiments will deal with The Ghost.

The 4xI5 list (Lulo, Tallie, Nien, Ello) is very popular here. With a mix of cheap upgrades and like a 3-4 point bid.

Has anyone else run into this? How are you handling it?

What are people putting on their RAC?

I've run a trick shot, tua, vader, hotshot gunner RAC for some success. For ALL of the token stripping!

E-Wings are back, and ICT VTG Y-Wings with or without bombs are out there and very solid.

I'm interested in trying ICT VTG Scurrgs but I probably won't have time for a bit, I have a big tourney to prepare for in a couple of weeks

Large ships have come out to play: Decimators, Falcons, YV-666s, Ups and even the Ghost has been seen at our meetups!
