Hey all,
So I've only played X Wing about once or twice using a FA starter set, but this month there is going to be an event in the area for the game. The rules are simple; 1 Ship, maximum 35 points. for 1v1 games.
Last time the event was run, it was won by a Tie Defender, but I don't know the list details. However, I spoke to the guy who won, and he recommended either the Defender or a Protectorate Starfighter.
I quite like the look of the Starfighter, but I wondered what more experienced players think. Should I go with either of these options, or should I pick something else? What upgrades should I take, and what Pilots?
Preferably I'd like to pull extra cards from as few sets as possible, unless someone can suggest a good place to pick up single cards
Cheers!

Are there any restrictions on named pilots or uniques?

It's only 29 points, but Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay + Stealth Device when you know you're only facing a single ship would be nasty.

I don't believe so, although I will double check to be sure next time I'm in the store (Saturday) Azeroth wrote:It's only 29 points, but Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay + Stealth Device when you know you're only facing a single ship would be nasty. I'll look into that I believe that if you're under points, you will obtain some kind of advantage, but I'm also unsure what that advantage will be

Fast
Although seriously, I do prefer more speed and agility, but I reckon having more damage potential will help in a 1v1 game

A couple other ideas:
Darth Vader + X1 + ATC + Stealth Device + Lone Wolf - 35 points
Tomax bren + crack Shot + Agent Kallus + rebel Captive + Lightweight Frame - 32 points
vader with and auto-reroll a turn or a Bren with an auto focus to hit or evade, crack shot and you'll hand out a stress every turn they shoot at you.

Well, there is always Echo w/ VI, Advanced Cloaking Device and Collision Detector.
Or
Maarek Stele (Defender) w/X7 title, Twin Ion Engines and VI.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
There is also;
Carnor Jax w/ Title, Autothrusters, Stealth Device, Push the Limit.
Use your actions to get close and stop them from using Focus or Evade tokens and lay some range 1 hate. A bit risky due to him being PS8 and not 9.
The Inquisitor w/ Title, Autothrusters, Push the Limit, Proton Rockets.
Good at range, and can throw out 5 dice at range 1.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I'll look into them and see which one sounds best to me
On a side note, does anyone know a good place to pick up X Wing cards? I only have a couple of the ones listed here, such as Darth Vader, but it seems like most of these builds will require me to get a few blisters.

Yeah, there is a number of eBay sellers. I like one guy above the rest, but there are plenty of them out there.

There really isn't one. Most of the cards that you don't already have a dozen copies of cost almost as much as buying a whole ship, especially once you include shipping costs. Most of the time you might as well just buy the ship it comes in.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

Yeah. Rather than pay almost 17$ for a copy of Autothrusters, I'd rather get another copy and a ship for 25$.
Even if it is a StarViper...
