Hey all, Iv been looking at lists and wondered how a list filled solely with fire sprays or falcons would do

In the games I've seen and played the slave and falcon do well, but is that down to support from smaller ships or can multiple variants of a strong ship balance out the inevitable low model count

I love running multiple falcons. I find it very dirty.

How do you run them?

yeah,
I played against 3 bounty hunters on Thursday night.
check it out

Panic...

Why not post here so we can discuss it? It's not like you've got any amazing secrets to hide.

I believe the lists revolve round Han Solo and two outer rim smugglers.

The metal bikini site has quite a bit of stuff relating to winning tournament lists. With the amount of asteroids used on my last game at the club it's not good to have ships that big as they are a nightmare to fly with :(

Would two outer and Han not be over 100 points?

If you run them all naked it's exactly 100pts.

Honestly I don't see the Triple Big list as all that good. However, If I were to do it, I would rather take Pilot Chewbacca with Millennium Falcon Title, Elusiveness Elite Skill, and potentially Crewman Nien Nunb instead of Han Solo. Just to have one solid tank of a ship that is harder, maybe a lot harder, to take down. At the same price too!

The best 3x big list I can think of from my limited experience would be:

outer rim smuggler, gunner - 32p
outer rim smuggler, gunner - 32p
outer rim smuggler, gunner - 32p

with 4 points remaining which I would like to use to take advantage of their pilot skill 1 to invest in 2 anti-pursuit lasers, making maneuvering around your force of giant blobs very dangerous.

As long as you managed to maneuver them in a manner that doesn't completely screw them over I could see this being very powerful. No fire arcs, 2 ships that can block and cause free hits on enemies, 30 hit points across the force. Focus down any one ship at a time, rerolls all over the place from gunner. Any shot that gets canceled out by use of focus or evade will just get rerolled. Seems pretty brutal to me but sadly I don't have the 3 falcons to try it out!

If you're going to tank a Falcon either use PTL + title card (to stack focus + evade, preferably with recon specialist), or expert handling (to barrel roll out of arc/range entirely). Elusiveness isn't actually very good at keeping you alive.

At that point I think it just becomes a question of the matchup and board. EH on the falcon is awesome until your in asteroids and then its just good. In asteroids I think I'd prefer to have Elusiveness/Nien Nunb and the board edge on my side. Open space and versus high ship count squads the stack of focus and evade tokens would be preferred or the barrel rolling.

But then again I'm playing, so the hilarity of elusiveness trumps for casual.
