Andrewgeddon Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Looking at jumping into X-Wing with some Scum faction, because... well, Bounty Hunters. Wanting to run double big ship, wondering what people's thoughts are for the Firespray vs IG-200 Hound's Tooth, and what might be some good support to go with them (since I can't get all 3 info a 100 point list without sacrificing on upgrades) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I say buy two fire sprays, two ig88s, one hounds tooth and one most wanted pack. This gives you all the big ships plus all the sweet upgrade cards for most of the faction. You might want to run Boba Fett and Kath Scarlett together is why two firesprays. Dual IGs is just way too much fun to pass up for big base action. The Hounds Tooth is still getting tested out and shows promise as a scum version of the lamda shuttle with a ton of cooler options and a better firing arc. As far as support, ywing are solid gold right now with the Turbo Laser Turret and an unhinged astromech. Welcome to the Evil Side! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have been stubbornly running Bossk...he is frustrating. His ability with Mangler cannon is awesome, but I still am too aggressive with him. His dial does not make turning around something that happens...so holding back is key. Get two IG's...they are good to run solo, but for that time you want to run 2, then you have the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdave Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Engine upgrades (for the boost action) is universally useful - even more so on big base ships (especially slow ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I believe the hounds tooth and the falcon both come with one engine upgrade card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdave Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 The YT-1300 (MFalcon) actually comes with 2 and, until the YV-666 (Hound's Tooth), was the only ship that had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manzanita Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Here are some ideas....pay special note to the teams that placed 2nd, 18th and 39th for examples of what DisruptiveConduct is talking about. http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/get_tourney_details?tourney_id=668 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted September 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks to all for the input! Here are some ideas....pay special note to the teams that placed 2nd, 18th and 39th for examples of what DisruptiveConduct is talking about.http://lists.starwarsclubhouse.com/get_tourney_details?tourney_id=668 Very cool looking over these lists. I love the idea of having a couple of heavy ships, but didn't realize that it was actually a build that could be "successful." Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some actual ships soon!

Burk Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 with the new big ship MOV change, it will be less effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 with the new big ship MOV change, it will be less effective. YES! This is the fix I've wanted to see for large ships in tournament play for a long time! Personally, I like the firespray a bit more than the yv-666, but I'm crap at flying either of them.

andozane Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 with the new big ship MOV change, it will be less effective. Can you expand on this? I have not seen this change yet....so not sure what you are referencing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Wow. Half points if at half health. Big change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Can you expand on this? I have not seen this change yet....so not sure what you are referencing... in tourneys big ship give up half points if they lose 1/2 of their total shields plus hull.
