What currently illegal list are you hoping to be able to try after the point change?

By player2072913, in X-Wing

Curious as to people's answers to this. New points and slots means new things to try. Personally I'm just hoping to be able to try 8x PS3 Energy Charge Vultures, or 6x Strikers.

Bonus question, is there any list that you're having fun with that you don't think will be legal soon?

I've been having fun with 4Lom/Zuckus/Seevor/Palob, but by all accounts it's not fun to play against, so I sort of hope it no longer fits.

First, that's literally the three worst ships in the game as far as game-breaking NPE mechanics and the fact that you can fit all three of them plus Zuckuss is stupid and you should be ashamed of thinking it.

But, onto your actual topic! I'd like to try four Heroic Black Squadron Aces. Also, R2 Sense Burners Luke with Four Crack Phoenices.

Hey man, don't shame. If it works, that's the way it goes.

3 crack shot first order test pilots and crack shot scorch. In a perfect world.

gottem

I want atk scaled cannons (cost less for 3atk) and Ini scaled Advanced Sensors so as to bring about the BBBB meta (VTG++ to prevent degeneracy)

I have 5 TIE striker models, but 6 dials. If they dropped the points on those guys, I would totally hunt down another model to complete my collection of 6...or maybe buy a Second Edition model so I can have Quick Build cards. I honestly don't think X-wing, TIE striker, or TIE interceptor generic points are coming down, but somebody mentioned it was a possibility, and now I can't stop thinking about it.

This would be fun:

Black Sun Enforcer (46)
Collision Detector (6)

Black Sun Enforcer (46)
Collision Detector (6)

Black Sun Enforcer (46)
Collision Detector (6)

Black Sun Enforcer (46)
Collision Detector (6)
Total: 208

View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0

Triple IG88s, including A, with IG2000, and able to afford adequate upgrades.

Four hyenas and a vulture!

Or literally anything with a named Torrent

4x SNR Inquisitors with Clusters. 204.

FIVE. BLACK SUN. ACES.

I would be surprised to see 6 TIE/sk (wouldn't be complaining!) but if we see a 6-ship heavy swarm, I wouldn't be surprised if we see 6 x Alpha Squadron Pilots first.

Without bomb slots, and paying painful costs for shield/hull/stealth upgrades due to agility 3, interceptors in practice more fragile and not all that much more manoeuvrable.

They are now hyperspace-legal, so in theory are more likely to register on the "this ship sees no effective play aside from [Named Ace], maybe we should look at that" scale, which certainly seemed to apply to the TIE/x1 in the last update.

But that's my "Don't lose your Focus" list, I'd like to be able to play that a few more times.

The counterplay is easy, don't focus, take target locks and repositioning, I don't think it's a good lists hence it's nit rocking the meta, even while lists like quad phantoms would lose their focuses to it

I didn't say it wasn't beatable. I only said it's one of the worst NPEs you could come up with. Don't focus. Don't ever get stressed. Don't shoot seevor until last. Never have tokens. It's pure npe just like Vader crew.

I’m not a scum player but this list has me curious. What are the upgrades?

I want 4x Blue Squadron Escorts each with S-foils and Proton Torpedoes back.

Agreed.

I'd like to put the fourth R-4P in with my 4x Squad Seven Veterans.

I agree, please tell me more!!!

Grievous, Wat Tambor (Kraken), DFS-311 (Struts), with either 3x Precise Hunter (no upgrades) or 2x Fethan Ottraw Autopilots (no upgrades). Between 201 and 205 points. It'd be nice to work in a Crack Shot or two, but I can go without. I'd also need to borrow a pair of Bubblebuddies.

*e* or Grievous (Crack Shot), 3x Skakoan Ace (Crack Shot) DFS-311 (Struts). 201.

//

Four Sienar-Jaemus Engineers. Even if it means I have to buy a 4th Silencer, and trade the new model for an old one.

I'm thinking you ditch Zuckuss and Put Asaji with 0-0-0 in there. Mostly because I just have the one G-1A.

I think you want 0-0-0 or Latts in there. Moldy Crow is probably good. If you're giving them stress some bombs might be good.

Mouldy Crow on Palob, Mist Hunter and Advanced Sensors on 4Lom for sure. That leaves you 6pts to play around with. My prefered option now is 000 and Crack on one of the G1As, but 3 Trick Shots works well too.

It's one of those lists where each part in isolation feels like it's costed quite well/only a couple of points too cheap, but the whole thing feels like more than 200pts of scummery.

This has me interested too

IG-88A
Ion Cannon + IG-2000
Ship total: 74

IG-88B
Ion Cannon + IG-2000
Ship total: 71

Bossk
Trick Shot + Ion Cannon + IG-88D + Contraband Cybernetics
Ship total: 84

Total: 227

It really feels like this ought to fit, right?
