The first is the more “safe” version.  Dual Firesprays that I have been flying now for years…  Not Koshka Frost mind, but Boba Fett remains a solid choice.  Frost is pretty solid and I have her ship built out as a Bomber to maximize the effectiveness of the ship.  She does have a decent Pilot ability especially with the sheer number of linked actions that produce Stress…  And 0-0-0 combined with the Cargo to throw additional Stress helps a lot…  Boba in this build is just there as a hammer.  I tried Outmaneuver but Fearless is just better overall in this application.  A solid build and as I said I have flown Firesprays a LOT over the years….

Second is “Ace Light”….  Boba and Fenn.  Fenn being naked, Boba almost…  Just the 2 upgrades that are stapled to him (Maul, Slave 1) on that ship.  2 solid choices.  Yes, I wish I had a bit more to add in there, but adding in a third ship?  Yes, Laetin is basically a TIE…  Really.  The dial is very close, I have a Shield I suppose and the Targeting Computer?  The Autoblaster is sneaky awesome though…  If the opponent ignores Laetin, then he flanks and then has the chance to hammer an Ace with unblockable Criticals…  I3 is middling good, not quite a Blocker except against Aces.  I find it more of an Ace with the sheer number of Generic Ships out and about these days…  Fenn is awesome.  Until his Agility Dice betray him, and he is always just one roll from dying.  Concordia Faceoff is stupid good though, so if I can stay Range 1 I ALWAYS have an Evade on 4 Dice.  Still, he usually dies.  Boba is solid though and usually lives…

Played last night and might get in one more game before Sunday…  Last night Laetin lived through 2 Aces shooting him at Range 1 to shoot back and push through 3 Crits when Von Reg blanked out on his Agility…  Neat, but the odds were he dies before shooting and then it is Boba vs 2…  But being a TIE, sometimes they just dodge everything… 

Legion event Saturday, I’ll play 1 maybe 2 games as I have been committed to helping on the Unity Music Boosters fund raiser later that day…  Not a problem, the Show Choir is great and still have one daughter in it J
