/swg/ Star Wars Games General

I'm pretty hyped for the Hammerhead, I'm a pretty bad pilot so being rewarded for ramming into my opponents pleases me. Hopefully there will be a slot for Engine Techs so I can double ram with Dodonna and Garel's Honor, although I doubt it.

>>52188300
Yeah probably no support crew slot to accommodate a low cost.
I'm pretty psyched about two ships in one expansion pack.
And even if you want more upgrades than supplied in one pack you get a pretty solid ship number for a possible ramming "swarm".
Never wanted to buy enough corellian corvettes for it.

Thinking of running a game set in space Vietnam where the rebels are the space NVA vs space imperials. Any tips or things y'all think I should do?

Yeah, Im definitely looking forward to running a corvette heavy group and just seeing what fun can be had.

Plus, Garel's Ramming alongside boarding actions is looking like a really nice way to fuck up big ships with a swarm of smaller ships.
Im genuinely going to enjoy playing Star Wars : Homeworld

>>52188376

Homeworld has the best space battles.

How the hell does weapon modification work in Saga Edition? It looks like there's two totally different systems presented, between Starships of the Galaxy and Scum and Villainy. Is it an either/or sort of thing, or am I just missing something?

After today's announcement's from FFG I have to say I feel a whole lot better about Star Wars: Destiny. I thought they might have been low-key abandoning the game, but it turns out they were just unprepared for how popular it was, and they're taking a whole bunch of steps to rectify that shit. Every concern I've seen from the community has been addressed, and will likely be fixed in upcoming sets. Spirit of Rebellion will be larger than the original run of Awakenings AND its reprint. It got off to a rocky start, but we're on to great things now.

>>52188617
Yea, I bought a starter and now I may actually have the chance of playing it with literally anyone.

>>52186827

Read Shatterpoint by Stover. It is Apocalypse Now starring Mace Windu.

>>52188364
Takeover at Whisper Base and Operation Shadowpoint are both set in the jungles of Onderon.

So, with the announcement of Wave 11 looking more and more legit here are my comeaways from it.

>The Havoc having Rebel and Scum dials

Opens up gates for more multi-faction stuff. The T-Wing seems like an obvious example but FFG have been pretty gunshy on stuff from the flight sims lately, still no YT-2000, TIE-Bizarro, Gunboat or Missile Gunboat for instance, and I'm not sure the T-Wing was ever in SW Galaxies in any meaningful context.
That said, Rebels could do with more ships to slap Ray Shields on, and the T-Wing would be a shoe-in for that.

>TIE-Aggressor

Given that they changed the name of the Interdictor to prevent confusion, I'm kind of suprised they havent changed the name of this to prevent confusion with Iggy's pimpmobile. That said, they basically CAN'T give a Generic an EPT slot here because otherwise you could abuse Ruthlessness - TLT's and that kills the Biggs, the last X-Wing left in the meta.

>Wookie Gunship

There's literally nothing here I like. I don't like the look, I don't like the low cost double-crew card that seems to do fuck all, I don't like the fact that it's bringing Epic ship actions into the tournement scene, those things are not fucking balanced for 100pt games.
It literally feels like they included because of some behind the scenes contractual bullshit to include at least 1 nu-canon ship per wave.

>>52189754
Fuck yeah it is son, look at the name on the second Ship-Base card. Even when they've got to do bottom of the barrel NuCannon trash they still found a way to sneak that equally janky if we're honest EU goodness in.

This isn't a very serious suggestion just an idea for a house rule.

I find sometimes X wings combat can be quite frustrating. Since it's all luck.

Has any ever tried play with a houserule like staying on your opponents tale increases your Attack dice by one or maybe decreases their defense dice. Too speed up the game and reward better flying?

Any thoughts?

Unguided Rockets

>Limitless ordnance.
>Crappy, low dice, hard to modify ordnance.
>But it's almost like upgrading the primary weapon of Bombers, Punishers and Aggressors to 3 but taking away the offensive power of their target locks.
>Makes sense to limit this to Imperial ordnance ships (Via the double upgrade slot rather than a hard faction lock - presumably offering flexibility for future releases). This would be way better with Mindlink than it is otherwise, as it becomes far easier to get that double focus token.

>>52189842

The Specialist does something with Reinforce tokens triggered by taking damage cards. I have a feeling that he lets you flip them back and forth between fore and aft but I'm not confident.

Selflessness is Small Ship Only and can only really have Rebel Only as the other limitation. Some sort of Draw Their Fire type effect letting you protect your allies.

>>52189801

It's a 3 Dice attack which you can only modify by using Focus tokens for normal effects. It's pretty crappy to be honest. t's basically the same as the Wookie Commandos, takes two slots and costs next to nothing and it's for if you have nothing better to use those slots for.

I mean, you can use it so that a TIE Bomber or Punisher can make a 3 dice attack at all ranges now. Woooo.
It's useful, certainly less situational than that fucking Arc Caster from last week, but it's not the Munitions revolution that people were hoping for when they saw a double missile slot secondary.

>>52189842
>Tactician
Oh thank fuck I don't need to get more Phantoms.
>>52189907
As long as it paves the way for Heavy Rockets in the Xg-1 Star Wing Expansion.

Imperial Light Carrier is something that I definitely want. Hammerheads, not so much.

>>52189859

I wouldn't mind some kind of houserule that replaced damage cards with something like the hidden damage tally from Wings of Glory.

>>52189907

I could see Scimitar Squadrons with Unguided Rockets and LWF being decent filler for only 20 points.

>>52189907
>>52189934
It's a shame that we can't have Cpt Jonus riding herd on a bunch of Scimatars with Unguided Rockets.

>>52189897

Doesn't the K-Wing have double missiles? At the very least I think the Scurge does.

>>52189907
>>52189923
Crack Shot still works with Unguided Rockets since it doesn't modifies the attack itself

>>52189965

The K-Wing has Turret, Torpedo, Torpedo, Missile, Crew, Bomb, Bomb

Scurrg exactly the same except that it loses one of the Torpedoes so that the higher PS guys can have EPTs.

>>52189974

Juke, too. But I'm relatively sure that isn't practical in the slightest considering none of the ships that can equip it can evade.

>>52189974

Yeah, and as a cheap Tomax build I can't think of much better.
I'm wondering if there's anything better you might put those 28-29 points towards though.
Honestly at this point I can't think of one, short of the Agressor itself as a generic TLT boat.

>>52189897

>Rambling about Mindlink and double focus

DISREGARD I SUCK COCKS

Don't have to spend the Focus to fire these.

>>52189754
>Jacen, Jaina

Unlikely now that new canon is Han and Leia had one son, Ben.
Lowbacca doesnt directly conflict with any new canon so he's easy.

>>52189800

I'm kind of concerned that there's an EPT with this to be honest, as it implies there's now a way of running something with a TLT and Ruthlessness, which nerfs the Biggs.

At this point the game seriously needs a Rebel Veterans box.

I'm actually most intrigued about the Cruise Missiles on the Scurrg.

Also, quick reminder, the Havoc title on Nym means that we can now mix Rebel stuff with Salvaged Astromechs. I'm SURE there was some bullshit combo you could pull with this.

>>52189965
both of those only have 1 missile.

>>52189768
>Hello Stresshog, that's nice new turret you have there.
nah m8
TLT is the Stresshog turret because of its range.

>>52189747

>Title means you can now take Salvaged Astromechs
>No non-uniques tho

Booo!

On the other hand, they've DELIBERATELY made it small base so he can still take Deadeye, which means you can toss on R4-B11 and boom, you now have janky faux-zuckuss on a rebel ship.

>>52190148

I appreciate that the Astromech is on the unique title so that you can't just

>>52190086

Well, it has to be inter-ship synergy at that point, because the only option you have for Rebel-only upgrades is the new Selflessness EPT which probably isn't the new greatest combo.

R4-B11 seems good with Fire Control System if you have another source of dice mods. With a turret and Predator you get rerolls on your attacks, can force your opponent to reroll their defence and then get your Target Lock right back. There's some Rebel synergy thats usable here but not good. Bodhi Rook and Shara Bey aren't become the new hotness for this jank.

"Genius" seems like a plausibly useful upgrade in a Sabine bomber list. Point cost dependent, it might be practical to sub out a K-Wing for Nym.

>>52190243

>so that you can't just

I'm great at this.

Good thing Sabine can be on another ship, let's say a loaded up Miranda, eh?

>>52189747

I'm willing to bet actual fucking money that the Bomblet Generator here is a double Bomb Slot upgrade.

Yeah, I knew before I saw the cards, but as it stands the only one of these I'm getting is the H-6.

>>52190482

I'd be down for a double bomb. My gut instinct was ship restriction, but it could easily be done that way too. It would check out for each blister to have a double upgrade card in it, if that's a thing they're going for in the wave.

That would restrict it to what, the Scurrg, K-Wing and Punisher? All the heavy bombers is thematic AF.

At the moment I'm a pure Scum player, but I think the Scurrg might be an excuse to pick up a K-Wing and a Ghost and start dicking about with some Rebel stuff too.

>>52190565

I say double bomb because there's only one obvious bomb upgrade in the fan but two counters for it.
Hell, it might be an infinite bomb upgrade like the Unguided Missiles. Although I could equally see it needing to be reloaded like the Arc Cannon.

>>52190597

Lorewise, the Havoc is fitted with a Bomblet Generator that let it use power from the reactor to create energy bombs.

Maybe some sort of a "Spend a shield to drop a bomb" economy.

Some cool things on the aggressor: the missiles don't require you to spend the focus to fire, and they never deplete either. Basically changes the aggressor, bomber, and punisher into a 3-red die ship.

If the ps5 generic has an EPT (or any of the aces, for that matter), he can finally couple tlt with ruthlessness and ruin Bigg's day.

If the ps5 grunt is 20-21 points you can have tlt and ruthlessness for 29-30, and lwf for 31-32. That's an easy 3 ships with ruthlessness and tlt, which is the ultimate swarm killer.

Tomax bren is a good candidate for the unguided rockets. Crackshot, lwf, and rockets is 29 points. 28 with tie mk.ii instead, and still has room for a bomb or something.

Imperials can now do a 4 tlt list (albeit just like 4 hwks, but it looks like they can move better and can barrel roll), or 5 barrel rolling Autoblaster turrets.

>>52190994
If you are in central PA, I'll play you/help you repaint your ships.

>>52189549


Okay, so... I like what they did with Reinforce in standard - seems like the 180 is only so it works better. Wish they'd done An Alliance Assault Craft but probably LFL was against that, LAATs aren't spaceships normally. Kind of sad they didn't put in a "door gunner" upgrade but w/e. Not sure it kills the B-Wing the PS1 is 24 points naked, it might not be rebel swarm filler. But double crew, probably pretty good.

Havoc looks great - it has the heavy bomber type upgrade bar with what looks like Turret, Torp, Missile, Crew, Bomb, Bomb AND is has a leg up on the other two with an EPT, and can take salvaged astromech and system with the title. But even with a PS3 generic and small base it can't be triple Us - because while it can EM it then can't also pack plasma torps - and you can't Astro more than one... good design choices by FFG. Willing to bet money Bomblet Generator is two slots, probably reusable bombs - but maybe you can only have so many tokens on the field at a time? It also can't oust the K because Rebels can only get one, but expect Nym+Sabine to maybe creep into some lists.

The Aggressor looks good. Synced turret is an interesting mechanic, good way to represent the Aggressor (and also comes with the Havoc, BTW, so if you're a dirty reb you can buy that pack). Unguided rockets is interesting, not a "fix", but especially given how imps can stack some focus around (Hux) it's an alternative way of attacking for AGs, sas and ITs.

>>52191147

>>52188617
I just ordered the starters and started reading more about the game. Does anyone even play Destiny?

>>52191203
>>52191238

I believe the precedent with TLT and other "double-taps" like cluster missiles is that "after attacking" only procs after both attacks complete. You "perform" the attack twice in a single phase of attacking.

>>52191238

He's right, now that the timing chart has been introduced.

"Perform this attack twice" weapons only get one "After attack" trigger.

>>52191278
If that's the case, it still puts damage on your real target AND biggs, and isn't one use only like assault missiles

>>52191278
>>52191238
So it's consistent Ruthlessness, as opposed to Double Ruthlessness.

It would be funny if we could shoot Biggs with three of these and kill a ship adjacent to him, but it's not that powerful.

>>52191265
Considering how it got sold out like day one I am gonna assume there are people out there playing it

>>52191304
>>52191297

I mean, I think FFG has been angling for a way to make biggs less good so they can fix the fucking T-65. Last FAQ they completely reversed precedent so TL ordnance could go around biggs.

>>52191339
That was like 3 FAQ's ago, but yeah. Biggs is a serious design issue to work around, as he does not need to be buffed, but the flaw with most of the other T-70's is their inconsistent defense/lack of re-positioning.

Hell, some of the missions in the packs explicitly say 'No Biggs'.

I'm wondering what the T-65 fix will be from the inevitable Scarif Veterans box.

It's got to be a Torp slot or a Title,

Torp Contenders are-

- Free Torp

- Refit for -2 points.

- Some sort of internal sensor deal

The title will either give Repositioning or more EPT slots.

>>52189661
>dial shows a white 3 bank
B-wing confirmed dead

>>52191406

I'd like to see an upgrade similar to Citakro Vizago that let you pick your Torpedo at the start of the game.

Swapping out for Ion Torps against a swarm, Plasma Torps against B-Wings or Proton Torps against no shield idiots would be great.

>>52191460
The Wooden ship has terribad offense though.

The B-wing can FCS snd focus for really consistent damage output.

This fucker will reinforce and then take unmodified potshots to try to get lucky after a prolonged slugfest.

>>52191528

Or you burn both crew slots to get free rerolls on focus.

if you focus, then you can't take advantage of reinforce, meaning you are now a B-wing with no FCS and a marginally better defense.

It's bizarre ship that will likely make games go on forever, due to the nature of outnumbering making offensive/defensive upgrades more or less valuable.

Terrible wave. I'm quitting X wing for good

How does a fat sack of shit like the Hutt become so powerful? What's stopping his servants from killing him? He's pretty much a huge target that can't even move much

>>52192752
Same way cartel king pins do it. They kill you at the first blink of disloyalty

>>52192869
But how do they rise to power? Family connections? Hutt reputations? Or do they have some kind of power I am not aware off?

>>52192752
They live forever, are mostly invulnerable to blasterfire, and are rich as fuck.

>>52192752
Not all Hutts are so fat they can't move. Jabba is noted as being unusually obese, because he's lived an unusually long time. Hutts can outlive even Wookiees, but most of them die long before they get very old. Thinner Hutts can move surprisingly quick with their tail muscles. They're also very physically tough, can take a hell of a shot from a blaster and only be lightly hurt, and many are born into extremely wealthy families with money to boss people around. Hutt crime bosses are also genuinely very skilled at what they do. They're number-crunchers, masterminds, and are more intelligent than they seem. Those bred and brought up for a life of crime tend to do it better than most others, not least because they can outlive other races and have many more years of experience.

>>52192902
No power, only money. Besides those twileks wont enslave themselves

>>52189661
Oh boy another 1 Evade ship. Because that works so well on the HWK.

>>52189747
This one seems made for Scum with a Rebel dial and pilots thrown in for fun. FFG really wants you to play Scum don't they?

>>52193059
HWK has 2 agility though. I think you're thinking of the ARC, B-wing, Y-wing, K-wing, G1-A, or half of the large base ships.

>>52193110
Considering the rebels and imps have way more ships I dont see anything wrong with more scum ships

>>52192762
That anon was just continuing the MGS meme, ANON, that line was said by snake right after his "A Hind D?!", with that known, of course, I knew that the Russians steal shit from the Wookies, how else would they have Hinds?

>>52189747
I'll probably get it for Rebels, since it's a better cheaper K-wing.
How do you think something like Scurrg-K-K would run? pretty good, I reckon.

>>52193160
Because at this point the entire game revolves around Scum.

So, when are the Rebels gonna get some actually good ships that make them competitive...?
Kinda getting tired of the Imperial parade. Even Scum are outperforming the rebels.

>>52193186
expanding on the limited selection of scum ships doesn't mean the entire game "revolves" around scum

>>52193233
Scarif Veterans or similar box soon.

>>52193181
Considering the only Scurrg the rebels seem able to take is the most expensive one I kinda doubt it will be cheaper than a K-wing, especially since the scum cheap generic is already more expensive than the cheap generic K-wing.

>>52193318
>Scarif Veterans
That actually sounds bretty good if it makes T-65s viable again
>>52193323
He's got to be cheaper than Miranda tho, right?

4x Wookie gunships+Wookie crew on each of them sounds like a great list, the new 4BZ maybe

>>52191333
Well good. My heart breaks everytime a tcg loses its players.

>>52193341
I dunno, for the most part ships seem to follow the trend of +1 PS = +1 point with abilities often not factored into cost at all, Miranda is 6 PS higher than a warden squadron pilot and 6 points more expensive at 29, if Nym follows that same trend and is 7 PS higher than the 24 point generic it seems like a safe guess he'll be around 31 points.

Will we see a loaded facon with chewie and the wookie commandos?

>>52193463
I plan to do something like that
Chewie with commandos
2 Gunships with commandos
Don't know what points I have left after that though.

>>52193574

Assuming the PS1s? That's 7 points left. So you have an EPT on Chewie or some mods maybe. Put a hull on each gunship?

It's both. Tech Specs can modify shit, but usually just for themselves. SaV mod rules are just accessories that anyone can buy and install.

>>52193639
Do the gunships need an extra hull? They're already pretty tough.
I think a fat chewie would be a better use of the points, but I haven't seen the other gunship pilots so there might be something there that meshes with Chewie.

>>52193646
Perhaps

>>52193646

Can't, wookie commandos takes two crew slots.

>>52193463
It doesn't seem like they provide anything useful to the falcon at all, I guess they do if you take the old title and just evade every turn but if you take the new title they have anti-synergy with both your actions.
>take a target lock and you're already able to reroll focuses
>take a focus and you don't want to reroll them
The only benefits it provides are letting you keep a target lock if you only need to reroll focuses and letting you reroll while stressed, and you could get the second effect from Wired while leaving your crew slots open for useful shit like Kanan or Kyle.

They're only really fat when they get powerful. It's a status symbol in Hutt culture to be a fat lazy fuck because it means you've won and don't need to give a shit.

>>52194596
This. Up and coming Hutts are thinner and much quicker/stealthier. Once you've got the power, a Hutt can afford to get fat and pay others to protect him.

>>52194905

It's a triple TLT K-Wing list with bombs, it is literally 50% of all rebel lists in the meta and has been for at least a year.
You having a full blown Billy and the Clonosaurus moment here.

The only difference is that you haven't taken Miranda or Connor Nets.

As for how it plays, It's soul crushing to lose against, a chore to beat, and playing it is like filling in a tax form and is, with the Dengaroo build nerfed into the grave and Palps aces on life support in a vegetative coma is now everything wrong with the game that has yet to be properly FAQ'd away, and with the above two lists getting their marching orders the tournement scene is going to be fucking AWASH with TLT K-Wing and Y-Wing lists and I am going to hate every fucking god damned second of it.

THATS HOW YOUR LIST PERFORMS.

ANY FUCKING QUESTIONS?

>>52195022
>the tournement scene is going to be fucking AWASH with TLT K-Wing and Y-Wing lists and I am going to hate every fucking god damned second of it.
Is this why Rebs struggle to even get to the top 8 in tourneys?
When rebels only have 1 competitive list, yeah, you're gonna see a lot of it.

>>52195022
>ANY FUCKING QUESTIONS?
Yeah, why are you so bitter about the worst faction in the game?

>>52195100
Two, maybe three lists. There's also Miranda and Corran double regen.

>>52195100
There's Dash Miranda

>>52195100

Basically it's K-Wings, or it's The Ghost + Phantom with Biggs, and then there's all the small edge cases that make up the remaining 20%

Poe was basically rendered extinct by Hotshot Co-Pilot, and people have yet to properly catch on to just how good a VI Ello Asty is in a pinch.

Thing is. I didn't mind Palps Aces. Dengaroo broke the game plain and simple, but at least when you were taking on Soontir and Inky with the Shuttle in the back as a cheerleader you felt like you were actually playing a game where positioning and firing arcs are important.

>>52195100
>>52195145

Kanan Biggs has also been rolling around a lot lately.

And there was some lunatic who made it to Top 8 in Yavin Open (which the other 7 lists had Manaroo in) who I think was running like, Ghost +Phantom and Rebel TIE? Or was that a different event...

>>52195145

I'm pretty sure Kylo Crew might have killed Corran.

>>52195137

YOU JUST ANSWERED YOUR OWN FUCKING QUESTION.

When you guys say Corran/Miranda, do you mean Kevin Leintz's list?

>>52195184

Surprisingly people are still daring to run Corran+Miranda and it does not look like Kylo has killed it yet. We might see more Kylo now that Palp and x7 are on tight leashes, but for the moment people seem like they take their chances.

>>52195234

I really think people haven't cottoned on yet to just how good Kylo Ren can be.

Pair him up with his Grand Daddy with an ATC and watch them basically give Blinded Pilot timeouts to every big base - low Agility turretship in the game with incredible viability.

The E-Wings 3 Evade dice probably make him somewhat immune to this tactic. But he only needs to flub his green dice twice and he's off the board.

>>52195297

I'm pretty sure this is what's killing the shit out of Rey right now, people like Rey lists but I don't she's taking off because there's a lot of Kylo (Including Swarm Leader Kylo+2 Deltas, Kylo RAC, all manner of shit) and just handing her a blinded or a PS0 repeatedly just basically destroys that ship entirely.

>>52195381

I feel like people have to make a very hard choice now between 3PO or Kanaan on Rey, since on the one hand, white SLoops. On the other hand, 3 Evade Potential.

If they ever make a crew card that's basically Zebs pilot ability he's going to see SO much use.

Interestingly, A-Wing can make themselves completely immune to Kylo Ren by taking Detirmination in their other EPT slot.

>>52195469

There's a lot of ways to counter Kylo - but that means you have to play the anti-Kylo game. (Old) Chewie and Leebo should both soft-counter him for instance.

>>52195571
I do think that it's interesting and good design that newer meta options bring older, obsolete options back into the fold in this way.

>>52193989
Does chewie have an ept? The new selfless ept has a wookie on it. Otherwise draw their fire would work nicely with chewie's ability.

Am I the only one who wants more huge X-wing ships?
I'm DYING for a Nebulon B or a Hammerhead for Epic. I don't care if Epic is shit, I want some big toys for the tabletop.

Space California gun laws.

depends on the party and what their habits and weaknesses are

>>52202438
they're completely fine with married couples fucking in public places, but are also complete romantics who consider sex before marriage an extreme sin, and marrying without being sincere about it vastly worse
This is to make things seemingly pleasant at first and then extremely unpleasant for magical realmfags

>>52202479
is that like the news? Galactic News "Space Pirates shoot at local enforcement with blaster rifles, law enforcement fires back with blaster rifles attached to speeder bikes."

>>52202438
they live in expectation of constant pirate raids and people will be fined severely for being unarmed in public, because clearly they aren't willing to contribute to the public defense. Offworlders who are even vaguely suspected of being pirates are in for a bad time, but PCs who can marshal evidence of being pirate and especially slaver killers will be received with a great deal of friendlyness

>>52202538
If you really want to go for the NOGUNZ look, feast your eyes on British police and their rides. Vauxhall Astra diesels.

>>52202438
and another one I just thought up
pistol duals with weapons set to stun are an extremely common and well accepted method of resolving minor disputes, aside from those obviously too infirm to safely take a stun hit
The PCs might well be challenged to such a dual for seemingly nothing, and if they shoot with lethal rounds, everyone in line of sight WILL switch to lethal and try to gun them down, because that is impossibly dishonorable
of course, if they shoot it out on stun, either way, the locals will begin to warm to them
Note that many locals will be extremely good fast-draw shooters, because they get to learn from their mistakes unlike the normal sort

Literally just send them to Alderaan. Every weapon and every possible implement of harm must be turned in at the spaceport, which is manned by disturbingly effective customs agents. If any of the PCs have any sort of criminal reputation, give telltale signs that they're being followed, but never show the tail. Every single Alderaanian they meet is kind, gentle, and trusting, maybe a little too much so. Even security forces aren't armed. Somehow, it works. Everything is happy, pastoral, and idyllic.

It is your responsibility as GM to never, EVER, let them find out what happens to anyone on Alderaan who doesn't fit that mold.

There are about ten players, and we all vary our builds every week (unless there's a tournament coming up, then we all fly our tourny build for at least the two weeks prior).

Except Kieth. He always flys Emon Azzameen with Sabine, Proton Bombs and a pack of Z's.

Every.

Week.

I was fucking around but that legit sounds like bullshit, homo sapiens won because we were smarter better at making and using tools and because we're usually assholes, as far as i know anyway.

>>52204604
55% Scum, 30% Imperials, 15% Rebels.

The majority of Scum builds have Manaroo in them, and either Dengar or Fenn Rau + Old Teroch or Palob. Only Manaroo-free Scum list I've seen in a long time was 5x Scyk. (Which did surprisingly well).

Imperial lists heavily feature Defenders, though there's a fair smattering of Phantoms, miniswarms and Decimators. The odd FO or SF as well.

>>52204854
I always thought it was because Homo sapiens were straight-up the best at killing bitches and raping their hoes. Homo Sapiens, fuck yeah!

Oh right sabine is a scum pilot.
Totally forgot.

With Eemon and bombs I automatically assumed bomb crew sabine

>>52204213
Size of brains doesn't matter in bigger mammals, it's the size of brain/size of body ratio that does. And sapiens had a better ratio than neanderthal, meaning more could be devoted to fancier things and not just controlling your body without flailing.

>>52205676
It's on the Firespray. Look, I admit my original sentence was a mess, but it shouldn't be that hard to puzzle out.

There are too many Sabines.

Michael Stackpole is the author of the beloved Rogue Squadron series and X-Wing comics. His prose is a bit beige and his novel protagonist, Corran Horn, is bland as hell, but he makes up for it by writing superb dogfights that read like a retelling of the old flight sims' mechanics. Be sure to read Aaron Allston's Wraith Squadron series as a follow-up to Stackpole's Rogue novels.

>bland as hell
How dare you insult the glorious space hero who puts the 'horn' in 'horndog' and 'ran' in 'random quips' ?!

Face it, anon, compared to the Wraiths and Allston's rendition of the Fab Four, Corran is pretty boring. He was the serious cop in a buddy cop movie, but lacked a fun cop to play off of. Unless you count Whistler, and Whistler was more like a nagging wife.

>>52206367

Thrawn trilogy is some baseline old EU stuff.
The entire X-Wing series (Rogue Squadron quadrilogy, Wraith Squadron trilogy, and then the one-offs that come after) are great.
Scoundrels is pretty good fun, especially if youre ever considering getting into Edge of the Empire (the Heist short story alongside it is pretty good too)

Kinda depends what you're after, really.
Do you want high adventure and jedi all over the shop, or do you want some more low-key shenanigans?

If you like comics, the new Darth Vader run is pretty fun, and the old Rogue Squadron run the same.

Based Brian Daley's Solo novels

The aggressor is pretty disappointing. It looks like a recycled Tie Advanced with a part of the wings cut off and a small turret added

>>52206575
The Han Solo Trilogy and Lando Calrissian Adventures are also fun reads to go along with the Han Solo Adventures.

>>52206237

I can't help but feel that running Eamon Holmes and a Lancer with Sabine in doesn't leave a lot of space for Z-95's or Upgrades. How well does that list even do?

>>52206542

As opposed to his actual nagging wife?

Oh well, at least we got Booster out of that.

>>52206367

Starfighters of Adumar and Honor Among Thieves are fun reads

>>52202597
Well I was making an Ar15 joke where no matter what from a little 22 to a 50 cal it's an AR15

>>52206367
I really recommend Catalyst. It's very good and lends much context to the film.

I was really disappointed Galen and Krennic didn't have a proper scene together after that.

>>52204854
While neanderthals were built as fuck, as seen by their bone structure, they had a smaller marrow cavity in their long bones so they had to eat a lot more to feed those muscles as well as do it in shorter time spans than Homo sapiens because the bone marrow is your bodies last resort to coping with starvation. In the end the sapien body plan just won out due to the better ability to survive hardships longer.

>>52202904
Honestly, I'm just a huge sucker for Pantorans.

>>52206904
to be fair, AR15's are little 22 cals.

So i want to trigger that anon that gets triggered by kwings and maybe bring one of these lists to a tournament, wich one should i pick?

Warden Squadron Pilot (33)
K-Wing (23), Twin Laser Turret (6), Ion Bombs (2), Seismic Charges (2)

Warden Squadron Pilot (34)
K-Wing (23), Twin Laser Turret (6), Ion Bombs (2), Thermal Detonators (3)

Warden Squadron Pilot (33)
K-Wing (23), Twin Laser Turret (6), Sabine Wren (2), Seismic Charges (2)

---------

Warden Squadron Pilot (35)
K-Wing (23), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Conner Net (4)

Warden Squadron Pilot (37)
K-Wing (23), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Sabine Wren (2), Conner Net (4)

Gold Squadron Pilot (28)
Y-Wing (18), Extra Munitions (2), Bomb Loadout (0), Twin Laser Turret (6), Seismic Charges (2)

I could also swap out the conner nets for sesmic charges and ion bombs instead

>>52207578

Conner Net + Sabine is the shit for Rebs right now.

Try Miranda and a Pair of TLT Y-Wings, that usually works.

Someone on the forums had an interesting idea to balance out the TLT, where similar to the new Synced Cannon, you need a target lock on the target to get that second shot.

Hey /swg/

I noticed on the component advert for the YV-666 that you see a "Bossk" base for the Z-95; however there wasn't a Z-95 card for him included.

What happened to that? Why didn't they include a Bossk Z-95 pilot?

I can see it working well actually

>Z-95 Bossk with same PA, PS as YV Bossk
>Marksmanship EPT, for getting the crit to turn into two hit results (maximum of 4 hits with primary weapon attack)
>Missiles can improve yield; use with Experimental Interface to Target Lock and Marksmanship
>not broken because Z-95 (4 HP with an okay dial)

>>52208138

Nashtah Pup, m8. Takes the PS and pilot ability of the Hound's Tooth. If there isn't actually a "bossk" base in the kit it was probably a format error with the card fan - but I'd assume it has Z-95 bases?

>>52208220
I mean a separate Bossk Z-95 pilot that can be deployed/included independently of the Hound's Tooth title.

>>52208099
Imperial officers with trenchcoats was one of my favorite things that I saw in Rogue One.

>>52188347
They aren't optimal for an Ackbar swarm, however, because they can't make long-range attacks out their sides. I'll be interested to see how they actually play.

>>52208245
Ditto. Absolutely.

The only thing I remember Corran Horn for is that time he dueled a Yuuzhan Vong and cheated to kill him. Something about dual phase lightsaber or some shit and when the Vong blocked, Horn extended his blade into the Vong's eye and brain.
