who would win in a fight with all the firespray pilots vs all the yt-1300 pilots? (assuming whatever total point value is reasonable with this number and cost of ships) what upgrades would you put on what and who do you think would win?

edit: since yt-1300 appears to cost more if necessary add tie fighters to even out costs

I'd put my money on the YTs, given their firing arc, dial, and point advantage. It would largely depend on upgrades, tactics, and luck though.

i would pick firespray, ion or heavy laser cannon and 2 defense die, they have 1/2 the fire arc of the yt-1300 and can evade.

fewer hits to the firespray while they can punish the less maneuverable yt-1300.

4 hv laser cannons concentrated on 1 yt-1300 will make it space dust, might only need 3 to get a beed on him.

Someone could run this. 160 point game

Empire - 4 Bounty Hunters Plus HLC = 160

Rebels - 1 of each of the 4 YTs and add Draw Fire to Chewy= 160

I would put my money on the Firesprays any day though. I brought this up in another post and torn apart over it.

Advantage for Rebels is that 3 YTs will shot first and you have the 360 firing.

Advantage for Empire is that you will be rolling 4 attack dice against 1 defense most of the time.

OP wanted 1 of each pilot, so you could use 175 to give room for a few upgrades. I tried to keep the flavor of each pilot, while also evening out the point values, rather than stacking everything onto one ship.

47 Boba Fett + Slave I + Deadeye + Rebel Captive + Proton Torpedoes

47 Kath Scarlet + Marksmanship + Mercenary Co-Pilot + Cluster Missiles

46 Krassis Trelix + Recon Specialist + Heavy Laser Cannon

34 Bounty Hunter + Intelligence Agent

174

47 Han Solo + Millennium Falcon

47 Lando Calrissian + Nien Nunb + Saboteur

47 Chewbacca + Homing Missiles

34 Outer Rim Smuggler + Anti-Pursuit Lasers + Gunner

175

^ who do you think would win?

175 points? I can give that a try:

Bounty Hunter (33)

Krassis Trelix (36)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Mercenary Copilot (2)

Kath Scarlet (38)
Expert Handling (2)
Proton Bomb (5)
Rebel Captive (3)

Boba Fett (39)
Push the Limit (3)
Navigator (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Total: 175

vs

Han Solo (46)
Expert Handling (2)
Gunner (5)

Lando Calrissian (44)
Expert Handling (2)

Chewbacca (42)
Draw Their Fire (1)

Outer Rim Smuggler (27)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Navigator (3)
Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Total: 175

As for who would win? I have no idea. It'll really come down to the players and how they fly.

is putting a proximity mine on the plain bounty hunter worth doing because he can move first (most likely) and try to cut across someones flight path before they go since you know around where they have to be at some point along the route?

Offhand I'd put my money on the firesprays. They have a lot of good combat oriented abilities (and Boba Fett can be very maneuverable), but they also have significantly better evasion. Granted, it will be a bit harder to get the YTs in firing arcs, but with big bases it can't be all that hard. But both sides throwing around three and four attack dice per shot, those extra evasions are bound to come in handy a lot (assuming average luck per both sides).

Basically this:

The Rebels will be a little more consistent, with Turret Primary Weapons letting them concentrate their fire. However, The Imperial edge in defense dice and upgrades probably outweighs their lower health. It really does come down to the players' choices in upgrades and their flying, as well as a not insignificant amount of luck.

Yes. Yes it is.
