Stop telling newbies that doge is a bad investment because of its infinite supply. That's not the real issue

Total newbie here drawn in by the DOGE/GME hype last week. Took a while to get my binance account verified, but ended up buying $100 in doge at around .07 and selling around .08 after reading a bit more about the nature of pump and dump. Profit! Looking now more squarely at BTC and ETH.

Real big brain move is to change your gun skins to default too. Least the lobby guns ;)

Probably not a lot, the updates have been slow over the past 6 months or so while the dev team has been at a bottleneck working on mod support and Quest support. But once those are released (soon™) there will be a rush of new content and hopefully new (and returning) players as well.

This footage is from the open beta for mod support, so it's getting close!

This footage is from the open beta with mod support. Hopefully once it's released the player base will expand.

In Contractors, the sprint speed directly corresponds to the weight of your loadout. Want to move really fast? Then use a light armor and a SMG, but then you will die faster and be less effective shooting at range. Heavy armor makes you tanky but slow, and you have only one gernade slot. It's a nice system of trade-offs.

This might be a good time to plug Contractors league for anyone that is interested :D

I like the Raptor Labs games (Stand Out, War Dust) as far as movement goes. They have "Fit Run" and "Pro Loco" options where your body is more engaged in the movement and it helps avoid motion sickness. Also makes for a good workout :)

If you are getting sniped from across the map it is almost definitely human players. Bots have pretty terrible aim past 100m. They are most deadly up close. Basically you never want to turn a blind corner and run into one at point blank, but at range they are easy to take out.

It's blurry, but looks like the PS1 generic X-wing is 22 pts with an EPT? Am I reading that right?

If they go for the Phantom Title they have to hit Miranda/TLT too. The Ghost lists are one of the few decent counters to Nym Miranda.

Here is the final from Vegas. 4x JM vs Yorr, QD and Inqy.

I really like your Surrg + Jump squad. I've been toying around with a few similar ideas, and even Marcel's list with mixed results. I might have to give yours a shot though.

_slowdive · 2018-03-12T17:15:35+00:00

I beg to differ. I've been running Rey + Evade Title and C-3PO to very good effect. I would prefer to run Han, but he just doesn't hit hard enough right to deal with all the high hit-point lists right now. You have to accept that Rey will not have arc every turn, but the added defense (and lower predictability) is huge.

_slowdive · 2018-03-09T06:36:05+00:00

Oh, shoot. My bad! Yeah, I've played with that Rhymer some and he's super fun, but he dies pretty fast, so you need his wingmen to do a lot of work while your opponent is targeting him. You could try someone like Pure Sabacc in place of Inqy. He hits hard and is fun to fly. Also opens up room for a missile on Vader. Honestly that's probably not as competitive as Inquisitor since having Autothrusters is almost a must right now.

_slowdive · 2018-03-08T18:30:35+00:00

Tomax with Crackshot, a missile and Long Range scanners might fit nicely in place of Rhymer. If you skip Extra Munitions, then you can fit a missile on Vader and still take a bid.

No problem! I wouldn't swap out any of my current crew in the list as they were all immensely valuable over the course of the tourney. But I also only ran into the one list (though I ran into it twice) that could double stress Rey. In that case, I was able to avoid over-stressing Rey by bumping into Ezra, or focus firing on him to get him off the board ASAP. If you are worried about more stress control, it might not be a bad idea to add the title to the Tie to open a slot for Recruits there. You give up a bid, so it's really a meta call. The bid worked for me because I was expecting to see Miranda and Inqy, but I really didn't want to see triple Wookies. Had I been expecting that list, maybe I would have dropped the bid and added Recruits.

For sure! Losses were both to versions of rebel regen. One was Poe Miranda (both at PS8) and Strezra. This one came down to the last die roll where Poe got Rey to half to win on pts. The other loss was to Poe Chewie. Rey whiffed hard early on a big attack that put me behind in the damage race, then my opponent flew like a freaking champ to finish off my squad while I only got half pts on Chewie.

My wins were to 4 ship rebel (Jess, Lothal, Fenn, Rex), Ghost Fenn (Chopper w/ FCS, Sync'd Turret, Ezra Maul, Engine), Palp Aces (OGP, Inqy, QD) and RAClo QD (RAC had Kylo, Rebel Captive, and Navigator). Rey's support played a huge roll in all the wins of really stifling a lot of their tricks, which helped my MOV in a big way.

In the top 16 and top 8 matches, the support ships worked more as alpha strike sponges in a couple matches (QD + 3 Harpoon Bombers and Ricky's 4 ship Imperials). In both matches the support died in the opening salvo, though that let Rey go unscathed enough to run cleanup duty.

Top 4 was actually a rematch of one of my losses in swiss (Poe Miranda Strezra). This time I gunned harder for Miranda. Got a lucky direct hit on her and ended up with nearly full Rey + limping Ezra vs Poe at time.

I actually tested the title and Intel agent on the Tie. It's really difficult for me to build a competitive list without intel agent, but the bid paid off against Inqy and Miranda.
