    Like, if you don't look at that picture, and immediately start hearing Imperial music, I don't know what's wrong with you. :D

    Well you should hear first order music, not imperial. :biggrin:

    Means that you can have several ships set up at range 3 of the edge with either a focus or an evade.

    The last card is Ion Projector. That's weird that they spoiled all of the new cards.

    The new toys are cool but I fear the Epsilon is going to become the new Palpmobile.

    Yeah. Omega Ace works with it though I think.

    And I don't see this becoming a palpmobile because of cost. The base ship is more expensive than the base lambda+palp. That limits what else you can field with it too much.

    You're paying for the 4 dice and 2 extra HP as well. I think the named pilots are better than the Lambda at least.

    You could also do silly things like:

    Kylo Ren (34)
    Emperor Palpatine (8)

    "Wampa" (14)

    Scimitar Squadron Pilot (16)
    Extra Munitions (2)
    Advanced Homing Missiles (3)

    Running in store games has really been working for X-Wing so far. I've managed to get more than a few people interested in the game and already am building a small community of X-Wing players in store. Some of these new ships, like Kylo-Ren's shuttle, will be fantastic additions to the game. I can't wait to get one for myself :P Especially the ship that changes where you can deploy your tie fighters initially, which might be a good counter to the Han from Heroes of the Resistance that can place himself anywhere.

    Also, I am super curious as to what the dial for this ship actually looks like because that might be a key decider for people going for this as a palpmobile or going for the lambda shuttle.

    are there any cards in there that haven't been spoiled already?

    Guys...

    I...

    I uh... I came in first last night in the local league for this month!

    First time taking first, and first time ever beating the same player I've met in the final round of the last 3 or so months.

    Pretty sure it's all been spoiled.



    @Crimsoncoyote The Circle is complete!
    What were you flying?

  • crimsoncoyotecrimsoncoyote Registered User regular
    It was 150 points all month.
    For week 1 I think I flew:
    Dash Rendar (36)
    Push the Limit (3)
    Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
    Kyle Katarn (3)
    Engine Upgrade (4)
    Outrider (5)

    Corran Horn (35)
    Veteran Instincts (1)
    Fire-Control System (2)
    Plasma Torpedoes (3)
    R2-D2 (4)
    Engine Upgrade (4)

    Norra Wexley (29)
    Push the Limit (3)
    Seismic Torpedo (2)
    Kanan Jarrus (3)
    R3 Astromech (2)
    Vectored Thrusters (2)
    Alliance Overhaul (0)

    Total: 148

    And lost. I don't recall the exact point total.

    After that, I switched to Imperials:
    Colonel Vessery (35)
    Veteran Instincts (1)
    Tractor Beam (1)
    Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)
    TIE/D (0)

    "Omega Leader" (21)
    Juke (2)
    Comm Relay (3)

    The Inquisitor (25)
    Push the Limit (3)
    Proton Rockets (3)
    Autothrusters (2)
    TIE/v1 (1)

    "Wampa" (14)
    Shield Upgrade (4)

    Omicron Group Pilot (21)
    Sensor Jammer (4)
    Emperor Palpatine (8)

    Total: 149

    Nothing ground-breaking, but a pretty flexible and fun list to fly.

    I won week 2 150-0 (unfortunately my opponent was quite new to xwing), I won week 3... 150-0 against someone much more seasoned than my first opponent (who usually ends up in the top 4 each month), and finally faced my then-undefeated "nemesis" in the final round and beat him 126-0. I finished the month with a MoV of 1002... And made a couple people a bit salty about tractor beams on the way...

    What was your week 4 opponent using?

    And yes, I understand the salt from Tractor Beams :)

    He flew this basically every week:

    Syndicate Thug (18)
    Twin Laser Turret (6)

    Syndicate Thug (18)
    Twin Laser Turret (6)

    Kavil (24)
    Push the Limit (3)
    Dorsal Turret (3)
    Unhinged Astromech (1)
    Engine Upgrade (4)

    Guri (30)
    Predator (3)
    Advanced Proton Torpedoes (6)
    Fire-Control System (2)
    Autothrusters (2)
    Virago (1)

    N'Dru Suhlak (17)
    Adaptability (0)
    Cluster Missiles (4)
    Glitterstim (2)
    Guidance Chips (0)

    Total: 150

    Not 100% sure on the FCS on Guri, but everything else is correct.
    It can be a pretty tough list to beat when it gets going, but I managed to isolate N'Dru early and tractor beamed him onto debris in the first round of shooting. It also meant the next turn he was guaranteed a second stress, so he never got his missiles off.

    Guri got her torpedoes off on the Inquisitor, but I was able to fire prockets and with Vessery first to force her to burn her focus, so he only rolled a couple hits.

    Luck was really on my side too, since I managed to land a Major Explosion that resulted in a Direct Hit.

    Just dropping to ask a question. I enjoy following this thread on X-wing. I have a good collection, unfortunately, I don't have enough opportunity to get it to the table.

    I'm also playing Imperial Assault. Is it me or there is no thread dedicated to Imperial Assault. Considering there is one for X-wing and Armada, I was wondering if my research skills were bad or something.

  • crimsoncoyotecrimsoncoyote Registered User regular
    There is not one for Imperial Assault. It hasn't really had enough discussion about it to warrant its own thread. So any conversation about it has been through the general Board Games thread.
    I imagine it's because it's primary mode of play is the campaign mode, and I dunno how many people play skirmish regularly.

    Not sure how many people are interested in big tournament lists, but Paul Heaver is running this Scum list:
    Asajj Ventress (37)
    Push the Limit (3)
    Latts Razzi (2)
    Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
    Engine Upgrade (4)
    Shadow Caster (3)

    Pretty rad to see how much the game has opened up with Jumpmasters nerfed.

    Not technically legal dice, but kinda want...


    Oh also, apparently one of our local boys is undefeated on the day, currently 6-0.
    Nice guy. Have been destroyed by his girlfriend at a couple of the smaller local tournaments. :-P

    Edit2: I guess he is flying a Palpmobile with two TIE Defenders!

    I would go with the second list. It's thematic, and fun, and also competitive.

    I wound up with a Phantom, BTL Y, A, A list vs Han, Keyan, Z-95. It ended in a 1v1 from Gemmer and Han and Gemmer getting blown into space dust. I know what tweaks to make and how I'd run a similar list next time.

    Apparently the U-wing is a large base with standard firing arc and some interesting stuff going on.
    It's a style of ship I happen to enjoy flying quite a lot.

    Most interesting statistic from that infographic: only 300 pounds of fries consumed with nearly 1000 players on hand (plus, presumably, some kind of support staff).

    he definitely won x-wing last year, not sure about imperial assault?

    he definitely came first or second

    anyway looks like the winner this year was flying a Dengaroo list which is pretty surprising, second place looks like Corran Horn and Miranda Doni

    strange, if the meta shifted back to that kind of grindy two-ship list, I'd have thought Heaver would do really well since that's basically his jam

    Heaver was running a pretty unique scum list so it was probably just experimental. He came in 15th.

    So it's been awhile since I played, but since my last games, things have happen. A comic/LFG opened up in my town, which means that they are doing things like M:TG and 40k, but they are also slowly getting together some X-wing groups. Anyways, the last time I played, the Inquisitor's TIE was coming out, so... what's the meta looking like now? What are the combos to watch and what Imperial/First Order ships I might need to get my hands on?

    Well triple contracted scouts was just hard nerfed and the meta is still mostly reforming still.

    Dengar and Manaroo is a pretty popular scum list. Also Imperial Aces with Palpatine is still prominent.
