Hyperspace Rebels

By Shirako, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Back from a long break, I've now completed my senior capstone and have some time to devote to our beloved plastic ships again.

WOW the game has changed a lot with 2.0! I really like the "back to basics" feel and emphasis on pilot skill instead of the wombo combo builds towards the end of 1.0. I'm drawn towards hyperspace as the limited pool helps me get my feet back under myself a bit quicker. I've flown this a few times and have enjoyed it.

Lando- Nien Numb, Crackshot

Wedge- Outmaneuver, Proton Torps, Afterburners, S-Foils

Grey Squad Bomber- Ion Turret

(197/200)

I've heard Leia is nuts with her reduced points cost, haven't taken her for a spin yet. Also crackshot just feels like it's "there" because I had a point to spare. Other then that getting that -2 agi with Wedge is beautiful when it works, and Lando giving himself a focus and a TL helps burn enough tokens for the Y to make some Ion shots stick. I'd love to hear other's thoughts on the list!

Wedge dies FAST. I like him naked, or just Predator. Everything else has always seemed like a points sink. With saved point, the grey could have Veteran Turret Gunner, and some other upgrades around. Maybe title on Lando?

I agree with keeping wedge slim. I put just R2D2 on him and that still feels like too many points.

Welcome back!

Wedge is solid naked, scary with just Proton Torps. Highly recommend to try out all the U-wings, very fun to throw Leia with no reds every 3 turns and a tac officer for the white coordinate.

Crack shot only works when the turret is pointed out the front arc. Put Leia on, you won't regret it.
