So I bought into the game because I wanted to own Boba,,,yes I hear he's lackluster but I like the Fett.

Then...I already had one ship so why not get a few more?

I will own the Starter and Firespray by Friday...looking into getting a bomber and/or interceptor.

So here's my first ever list. (I've only played a demo game before now)



-Firespray 31 (Boba Fett)
---Ion Cannon
---Proximity Mine
---Slave 1

-Tie Fighter (Dark Curse)

-Tie Fighter (Black Squadron Pilot)
---Adrenaline Rush

-Tie Bomber (Captain Jonus)
---Seismic Charges

100/100



and here's an alternate



-Firespray 31 (Boba Fett)
---Ion Cannon
---Proximity Mine
---Slave 1

-Tie Fighter (Dark Curse)

-Tie Fighter (Black Squadron Pilot)
---Adrenaline Rush
---Stealth Device

Tie Interceptor (Alpha Squadron Pilot)
---Stealth Device

100/100

First, the Slave I upgrade only gives the Firespray a torpedo slot -- which neither or your builds use. So, considering it costs zero points, I assume this is just for fan purposes?

Second, the usual upgrade cards for Boba are Navigator and/or Engine Upgrade. These cards enhance Boba's special ability and help him stay unpredictable/get out of enemy firing arcs (especially considering he has a great pilot skill).

Maybe try:

Boba Fett w/Navigator, Seismic Charges
Howlrunner w/Swarm Tactics
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot

Howlrunner definitely looks to be a go to...given skill 8 and helping boba with his front/rear arc primary gun.

Slave 1 is ust there because its free yes...

I would really like to play a non fighter ship with this list though...I'm all in for the rule of cool.

The way I'd run it, she would not be flying in formation with him. The mini swarm and Firespray are each a maniple. In that sense, it's a pity that at the moment I can't think of anything (in place of seismic charge) to make Boba a bit more aggressive.

Not sure what you mean.

A non tie-fighter...I wanted the interceptor or bomber for flavor

Boba is rockin' the games for me...and I have a hard time not taking Dark Curse.

Bomber did crap for me, but I picked up an interceptor and he's been kickin some @ss too.

THinking about getting a Phantom next for Boba, wanted a defender, but it's too expensive for the list.

Take Boba and 2 Royal Guard Interceptors with Push the Limit and you've got a highly mobile fleet that can arc dodge all day.

Now that sounds fluffy!

Boba Fett/Firespray-31 + Daredevil + Navigator + Engine Upgrade
2×Royal Guard Pilot/TIE Interceptor + Push the Limit

That should be enough to kick most people into a fit. If nothing else, Boba will be able to move at any speed bank in any direction and then pull a Speed 1 Hard Turn to pull you out of whatever fire arc you might have previously been in while keeping them in yours.

I think i will run something similar in an upcoming tourney. Since i don't have engine upgrade, how would you modify hat build?

I want to use a firespray, but other than that i could do anything. what about soontir fel and a phantom?
