Working on a Boba, IG-88B list.

By Sixter, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Boba used to be great at the beginning of 2.0, he just became really expensive with the last patch. I figure that in a 2-ship list that cost increase is somewhat more managable than in a multi-ship list because you usually do have points to spare for borderline costly upgrades. One of my favorite ships (an possibly underrated?) in 2.0 is IG-88B. I love how the Aggressors move with their medium base and the double Calculate works really well with the extra cannon shot of IG-88B. Advanced Sensors is also one of those really expensive upgrades that is managable in a 2-ship list but limits your options a lot in a multi-ship build. So here is my Boba, IG-88B list that I´m starting to playtest. Both ships should be extra durable, IG-88B has Advanced Sensors to make sure he has double calcs for defense if needed and Elusive is great on Aggressors.

Boba/LoneWolf/HanGunner/PerceptiveCopilot/Marauder 117 pts

IG-88B/Elusive/IonCannon/AdvancedSensors 83 pts

Doesn't need to be only 2 ships, and you can boost the efficiency yet more!

B (IG-2000, FCS, Ion Cannon)

Boba (IG-88D, Ion Cannon)

L3-37 (TacOff)

With a little help from L3 to give B an extra action off the hop, Boba and B can both be firing primary and Ion with rerolls and calcs
