Has anybody tried...

By Npmartian, in X-Wing

Double large ships? I'm not sure it's the best thing, but I'm nothing if not a little crazy. I modeled this after a Rey/Ghost list I had in 1st edition but made it with Han instead.

Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter - •Han Solo - 114
•Han Solo - Scoundrel for Hire (82)
Trick Shot (2)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
•Jyn Erso (2)
Millennium Falcon (6)
•Bistan (14)

VCX-100 Light Freighter - Lothal Rebel - 86
Lothal Rebel - (68)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
•Magva Yarro (8)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

Total: 200/200

Anybody else got ideas or critiques?

I tried Chopper with Lando, had some fun with it. Haven't played since points adjustement, but I tweaked my list for it:

“Chopper” — VCX-100 Light Freighter 70
Ion Cannon Turret 4
Leia Organa 2
Magva Yarro 8
Ship Total: 84
Half Points: 42 Threshold: 7
Lando Calrissian — Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter 80
Trick Shot 2
Nien Nunb 5
Kanan Jarrus 12
Engine Upgrade 7
Millennium Falcon 6
Ship Total: 112
Half Points: 56 Threshold: 7

I've had some fun with double YV's, I've not tried them since the points readjustment but this is what I'm planning on running

YV-666 Light Freighter - •Moralo Eval - 91
•Moralo Eval - Criminal Mastermind (70)
Trick Shot (2)
Jamming Beam (0)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
•0-0-0 (5)
Shield Upgrade (4)
•BT-1 (2)

YV-666 Light Freighter - •Bossk - 101
•Bossk - Fearsome Hunter (66)
•Lone Wolf (5)
Jamming Beam (0)
•IG-88D (4)
•Maul (11)
Rigged Cargo Chute (4)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Hound’s Tooth (1)
•Dengar (6)

Z-95-AF4 Headhunter - • Nashtah Pup - 6
Nashtah Pup - Contingency Plan (6)

Total: 198/200

Yeah, any build with 2x large bases needs to be able to put out the damage to take down half of the other list before you lose a ship.

Ideally, you trade half-points on one biggy for half of the other guy's list or more.

Also ideally, I can set up in such a way that I send the Ghost to eat the first round of fire with a reinforce while Han gets around their side, since I need him alive much more than the Ghost.

One of our locals has a double VCX list that can be brutal. And it only got *more* brutal after the point adjustment.

people have tried vagueposting for awhile... how long? the answer may surprise you

Yeah, please just post the title of your post as your post title instead of just "..."

I have a list of double large ships with room for a medium ship too. Asajj/Lando/4-LOM. Enjoy your stress.

Sorry, sorry. I'll do it different next time.

Put Sai and Oicunn on the table a while back. It was pretty horrible. Though, maybe, with fewer torps around and cheaper big ships? Maybe I should try it again.

Sai (47)

  • ST-321 (4)
  • Emperor Palpatine (11)

Oicunn (78)

  • Intimidation (3)
  • Seventh Sister (9)
  • Hull Upgrade (2)

Academy Pilot (23)

Academy Pilot (23)

Sai coordinates reinforce to Oicunn every turn, getting her own reinforce as well as a lock. Oicunn locks when he can and tries to block opposing ships. Palpatine and Seventh Sister provides foci, and the latter also prevents any k-turns og linked action shenanigans near Oicunn. The TIEs are mostly there to run interference; replace them with a FCS/Conc Inquisitor if you want more firepower (and another I3), or Duchess if you want an ace.

Just curious, what is Jyn doing in your list? The Falcon can already take the evade action and the Ghost can’t make much use of the evade tokens (unless it’s obstructed or at range 3, but even then a reinforce is probably better for defense)

To stack focus/evade with Perceptive Copilot to increase defense with rerolls and get the double shot with Bistan.
