Had a relatively terrible game day today. I think the big problem was, the list I played was easily destroyed because I made the mistake of fielding Ten Numb and a Decimator in a 150 point list, and they could be focus-fired to death by all the PS 9 aces people were fielding before they could fire. Ten Numb made maybe 3 shots all day, and never got his munitions off. I also failed to remember to use the vast, vast majority of my upgrades when I needed to remember. And the most painful part of the final game was the waiting. I was down to my last couple of ships and I couldn't do anything but wait for my opponent to ponder laboriously over his dials, then move everything, then fire. I was nearly uninvolved in the game, but I couldn't call it because I needed to try for one last dead ship for points (which never happened).

I'm... frustrated. Angry. Very bitter at a rotten experience that went on far too long. Maybe keep that in mind when I say this list is complete garbage and wasted my time. Neat idea, worthless in execution.

Format was 150 points, and we could mix ships from all 3 factions so long as each ship's upgrades were legal on it (No Darth Vader on a Ghost). I was in a hurry and miscounted points and failed to spend 7 points, which became a big problem (really could have used the upgrades)... but not as much as all the missed opportunities to use important upgrades. Today was a miserable, failed day.

"Wampa" (14)

Rear Admiral Chiraneau + Calculation, Systems Officer , Darth Vader (52)

Ten Numb + FCS, Tractor beam , Proton Torpedoes , Extra Munitions , Calculation (41)

Etahn A'baht + R2 Astromech, Crack Shot , FCS (36)

Upgrades in italic never played a role. I either didn't get to use them, or stupidly didn't remember. Many others I failed to use often enough, and ended up losing the match because of it (didn't remember to Vader enemy's Fenn Rau when it had 1 HP, and lost hard because of it).

There were a couple fun moments when Wampa or Ten would get a crit for their ability thanks to Etahn and the fleet would feel briefly fun & effective, but even then, Ten immediately died, and everything else followed soon after.

Sorry... I've taken losses like this before, but this was just an awful experience. I hate sitting and waiting for the game to end long after I've obviously and unsalvagably lost, and the fleet just didn't perform at all.
