Hey all.

Got a little bit of inspiration from the results of the world championships, and it got me to thinking:

How about a thread showcasing some of the best/killer combos out there?

It could help people with generating lists and open up people's eyes to how intuitive this game can really be. I know we kind of do this already, but it's scattered over various threads/posts.

An example would be the "Super Dash" list that MuOn ran (this is via 3++: http://www.3plusplus.net/2014/11/x-wing-video-world-champion-paul-heaver-vs-mu0n/)

Dash Rendar (YT-2400) -You may ignore obstacles during the Activation phase and when performing actions.
UPGRADES: Kyle Katarn, Outrider, Push the Limit, Heavy Laser Cannon, Engine Upgrade

Jan Ors (HWK-290)– When another friendly ship at Range 1-3 is attacking, if you have no stress tokens, you may receive 1 stress token to allow that ship to roll 1 additional attack die.
UPGRADES: Recon Specialist, Veteran Instincts, Mouldy Crow, Blaster Turret

The combination here is Dash flying all around shooting 5 shots with the HLC and ignoring obstacles, which is huge, gaining focus when losing stress.

Have at it!

I have been enjoying the two following ships lately. Each is the base of a list and I just fill in with whatever.

1. Echo: Veteran Instincts, Advanced Senssors, Advanced Cloaking device Tactician.

2. Corran Horn, Predator, Sensor Jammer, R2-D2, Shield upgrade.

Lately though I have been playing around with a Tie Defender, just to run it with engine upgrade. The idea of a 4 K-turn then boost. Too much fun.
