So I might have a chance to go to GenCon and enter in the North American Championship this year. I've been playing for a little while without going to any tournaments, but I want to enter a huge tournament to see how competitive the national circuit is. I know it seems like a rookie move to go heading for the big tournaments, but I definitely want to give it a go. I think I've got a pretty good list, but I at least want to run it by some of the pros that run this site.

Kylo Ren+Push the Limit+Advanced Sensors+Primed Thrusters+Autothrusters+First Order Vanguard=46

"Quickdraw"+Predator+Fire-Control System+Sensor Cluster+Lightweight Frame+Special Ops Training=38

Epsilon Squadron Pilot=15

Total of 99 points.

I love that I'm able to get two very powerful ships into the game. Kylo is a very capable arc-dodger, with Primed Thrusters and Advanced Sensors making sure he can boost and barrel roll whenever he wants. Autothrusters and First Order Vanguard help Kylo stay alive. Plus, Kylo can always pack a big punch. Quickdraw has Sensor Cluster and Lightweight Frame to keep him alive, and deals out plenty of well modified attack dice with Predator and Fire-Control System (I know those upgrades are kind of redundant, but I don't have Expertise, so it's the best I've got). I didn't know what to do with the last 16 points, so I took the Epsilon Squadron Pilot for a couple of reasons. I still get to have an initiative bid while giving myself a PS1 blocker to line up shots for my other ships.

I don't know how I would perform against the current meta. I think I would do well against Miranda/Nym because my high attack power from Kylo and Quickdraw would take advantage of their low agility. For that matter, a lot of low agility ships would suffer from this list. I'm not sure what other lists in the meta that I would beat, but I'm sure multiple lists have the chance to beat mine. I'll have to do more testing at my local game store.

No matter how I do at GenCon, I'm sure I'll have a blast and learn a lot about how my list plays out. If anybody wants to chime in on my list or have something that I should change, feel free to comment.
