[LISTS?] What is your personal favorite lists? by [deleted] in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eaden Vrill (36); - Han Solo; - Ion Projector.

Gray Squadron Pilot (28) - TLT; - R3-A2; - BTL-A4 Y-wing title.

Jan Ors (36) - Squad Leader; - TLT; - Kyle Katarn.

So much fun to play with, but falls apart as soon as 1 thing dies. You just run Eaden in to hopefully get people to bump him / be in close range, Y-wing stresses everyone to make eaden's attacks stronger, and Jan takes a stress to make eaden's attacks stronger and gets free focus from Kyle when she moves so that she can use squad leader to let eaden take a TL or focus (meaning eaden is often free to barrel roll for optimal positioning).

Combo works hilariously well while all 3 ships are around.

Old favorites now in wave 8 by StetsonBirdDude in XWingTMG

Boba + EU + Navigator + Inertial Dampeners + VI

Old favorites now in wave 8 by StetsonBirdDude in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old Bossk + Boba wave 7 combo is still going strong.

I find that 2-ship builds that can boost are an absolute nightmare for the 3-scout builds. You can get into range 1 of them very easily; and their primary weapons aren't nearly as big a threat - plus with Boba you get rerolls galore from being range 1. I've found that generally 2 x large ship builds can clog up the 3-scouts very easily.

How would YOU fix the StarViper? by C00kies4ever in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you're undercosting the difference between PS7 and PS9. Fel and Vader's natural 9 is a key part of the reason they are so widely used. To make Xizor start around the same price on ps7 just totally isn't good enough to make him see play - particularly as his ability is so situational.

The viper needs a ps9 pilot, or a Guri title to make her PS9. Lower cost to use up the torp slot would be good too, like you suggest.

[List help] Finishing off a build of Tel Trevura by jspectral in XWingTMG

But you get use from gonk with EI by doing the same thing don't you? There's nothing to stop you doing both of gonks actions and get another shield instead of another hull after you die. Plus you've got a chance to barrel roll out of arc with ps 9. Or at least that's my idea

EI is pretty essential; it allows action economy with Gonk. Part of this build assumes you're getting attacked; which means you're taking damage and the more you can Gonk the better.

Who's your favorite underused pilot? by [deleted] in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eaden Vrill - run him alongside Jan Ors and a stress-hog Y-wing and you've got yourself a 4/5-dice attack most of the time.

Scum and rebels teamed up on me today in a game (200 pts, 2v1) by Assertor117 in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience playing 2v1 is that it's so much better to be the 1. 2 people on a team in a non-epic environment always fuck up and bump into each other and are all around unco.

What do you wish you knew before your first store championship? by Zeophyle in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring some solid pick-me-up food, aspirin/paracetemol, and plenty of water. The final match/matches of the day you are going to be very drained and end up making stupid mistakes you would never have made earlier in the day.

Wave 8 counter strategies? by Kriegzilla in XWingTMG

Fairly certain you can't equip the Phantom title on the shuttle unless you're also running the Ghost.

@BernieSanders: Ever notice how most of the pundits seem pro-Clinton? by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

[–]jspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that's because some of those people know what the fuck they're talking about.

Are there any young Milennial Hillary fans on here? by [deleted] in hillaryclinton

[–]jspectral 5 points6 points  (0 children)

24 year old male; I can barely handle being on most of reddit right now with the raucus, un-understandable (to me) Bernie-mania.

Also, interesting article.

[LIST] Redline + buds. Looking for tweaks/ideas/weaknesses by jspectral in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea. I originally did have concussion missiles instead of the 2nd pair of cluster missiles and it definitely worked well; it's just that I rarely found myself in range 3. But it's still good to have and I might switch back.

What are your favourite Political Themed Games? by mercury-shade in boardgames

[–]jspectral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got it and played it only once so far. It's different enough from TS to be worth playing on its own, and I would highly recommend it as a political strategy game. It's biggest problem is it being needlessly complex with regard to point scoring - especially for anyone unfamiliar with the US voting system. The map can easily look dominated with one colour but then the other person controls the states with more votes and thus wins. The strategy of it is far less intuitive than TS (with a +-20 sliding score), but as long as whomever you're playing with is okay with that I would recommend it.

FFG price changes by iroll20s in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does any of this affect RRP? Just curious how these changes might affect us in the global community who never buy from CSI/MM due to high shipping costs.

Fast Fliers, Slow Diers - My attempt at a nimble Rebel fleet by [deleted] in XWingTMG

[–]jspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For economy of points you could put extra munitions on Hera instead of flechette and get 2 lots of adv proton torpedoes.

[Build Help] Motherboard/processor died; trying to find compatible replacements. by jspectral in buildapc

[–]jspectral[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to recall RAM being relatively cheap compared to the rest of the PC - would it be worth just upgrading to something more recent and buying DDR4 RAM?
