While we're waiting for the points change, a fun mental exercise:

Slots don't exist. Factions don't exist. Card-marked requirements don't exist. The only rule is that you're limited to one title per ship and one of each unique. You're still paying point costs as normal. Build away!

Examples:

Jake Farrell, Andrasta , Proton Bombs, Cad Bane, Advanced Proton Torpedoes. 51 pts.

Han Solo (rebel), Lando Calrissian (scum), IG-88B, Fifth Brother. 106 pts.

Turr Phennir, Predator, Grand Inquisitor. 60 pts.

Whisper, Millenium Falcon (rebel), Juke, IG-88D. 69 pts.

RAC, Advanced Sensors, R4 astromech, Vectored Thrusters, Engine Upgrade, Grand Inquisitor. 119 pts.

Oof. This just gets more and more disgusting the more I try to push it. What's the most degenerate thing we could come up with?

Heroic Luke is all I need.

Fenn Rau in a StarViper with the typical full blown loadout... plus preceptive co-pilot because why not. 116 points may be a bit much but I think this would be fun

Fenn Rau (68)
Outmaneuver (6)
Advanced Sensors (10)
Perceptive Copilot (8)
Afterburners (6)
Virago (10)
Shield Upgrade (8)

Virago, huh? Why not go full-on Moldy Crow ? Or Slave I . Or Rey's Millenium Falcon. Oooooh.

Oh I have some nasty answers using the 7B config with either a Virago, Punishing One, or Lando’s Falcon title. Fenn Rau, and the Ghost jump to mind. Or even an Upsilon.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. And that's stinking cheap for what you end up with! Did you mean to put a turret and VTG on there? (Edit: WAIT IT WORKS! 7-dice natural attack coming right up!)

Gives me an idea though: Kavil, Punishing one, ICT, Bistan, Perceptive Copilot, R4, Expert Handling, Servomotor S-Foils

Vader, Debris Gambit, Engine Upgrade, Pattern Analyzer. 75 points.

Pattern Analyzer on Vader is disgustingly beautiful. He can do as many actions as he wants before taking that stress! I'd add an R4 to him to help open that dial up a bit.

Throw a spare parts canister on there while you're at it

You can, but the title and config only benefit primary. Primary forward arc specifically. So it seemed to be minimal benefit.

Similarly Fenn with 7b and Punishing One is only 94. Afterburners for a cool 100. Maybe add some R2 action. Add FCS or Collision Detector and you’re still under 110. FCS and Elusive/ Fearless for 109? Seems good.

For real profligate spending, and all offense, add Fifth Brother. Now you’re 118, at range 1 get 7 dice. Can turn a result to a hit, reroll one, and turn a focus to crit. All while saving focus for defense.

Or straight-up RCC and/or cloaking device. Season with Jabba to taste

Let’s try Sai, Title, Engine, 7B, R4, Quiz. Little arc-dodging monster with 4-front and 3-back. Add Hux while you’re at it: a red coordinate is a red coordinate.

Ah, not quite. 7b has the front arc icon. Sadly it would not work with the rear arc.

Why ships like Boba and Arc Nora didn’t get consideration from me on it.

Awww, but at least that means it works on all front-arc weapons, right?

Hatchetman?

Meanwhile I’m just imagining all the things I can put Andrasta on. With the gunboat configs.

OS-1 Rhymer anyone?

Vader (65), Hate (3), Elusive (3), Millenium Falcon (Rebel) (6), Gonk (10) Pattern Analyzer (5), Chopper (Droid) (2), Proton Torpedoes (12), Afterburners (6), FCS (2), Chancellor Palpatine (14)

128 point Vader with Evade, boost, two sources of shield regen, the ability to Chopper his own shields to reload torps and Force, and who can stress attackers at range 0-2.

Gonk probably isn’t doing much here. Takes him two turns or taking two damage to regen enough force for one shield. Chopper though... with PA...

Midnight or Null with Tactical Officer, anyone?

passive sensor ShARCa Bey packing r3 and stuffed to the brim with force gunner/crew and hate

Braylen, R4, servomotor S-foils, AS, PA, HLC

Dengar, Luke, 5bro, Hate, R4, R3, OS-1, FCS, Andrasta. Lock + Load is all you need.

Hera with Zeb, Intimidation, Fearless, Predator, AS, 7B, Punishing One.

Soontir Fel, Supernatural Reflexes, Predator, Primed Thrusters, Calibrated Laser Targeting, R4 astromech, Fifth Brother. 112.

Maybe a shield upgrade too, if you're a coward.

Maybe Virago or Millennium Falcon would save you points?

there's also the potential, hair tearing hilarity of simply putting selfless on swarm ships

Hera, Hate, Supernatural Reflexes, Quiz, R4, Electronic Baffle, R2-D2 (crew), Chewy. 132 pts.

Quickdraw, Shield, Virago, SF Gunner, 7B, Hate, Quiz, SR.

For 20 points you can add Proton Torpedoes, OS-1, R3, FCS, Andrasta to anything to make it a better gunboat.

Quiz on anything for a better PTL.

Handbrake Han + Fanatical...

Gonk has two separate actions, so you could spend Gonk's charge for a shield, spend a Force to recharge Gonk, spend another Force for Chopper to regen another shield using the charge from Elusive, and spend a third for a target lock.

And if you did this after a K-turn or Tallon roll, then Elusive instantly recharges for Chopper to use again next turn.

Hera- delta 7B, moldy crow, and what ever else you want on her

7 dice at range one!
