Hello fellow Pilots, Pirates, and Nerf Herders! This week we catch up on some news with a more traditional episode. Is the C-Roc an epic game changer? We don't know! Is Scum Boba Fett a game changer?! We maybe know that! Is Texx's beginner tip worth listening to? YES!
FLY BETTER!
Welcome back from the flight simulator! Today we bring in our favorite pirate janitor Blair Bunke, from the Scum and Villainy podcast, to help us clean our dirty asteroid. While he's here he talks about the state of the meta, how you can win with Z-95s, and his top 5 X-Wing heroes.
FLY BETTER!
SCREE!
This week we take a look at regional championships which have been played so far. What lists should you be looking out for in your current meta? How does Blair Bunke win? Is Talonbane Cobra a viable threat? Find out this week!
No timestamps this week, ALL REGIONALS!
Also, we may have a few list errors due to List Juggler being inaccurate. We'll fix any glaring mistakes next week.

Rookie X-wing pilots, this is the episode for you!
This week we bring aboard Rookie Pilot Mike Corse to talk about how new players can make a clean hyperspace jump into the game. Did you get a Core Set for Christmas and have no idea what to do next? We discuss buying guides for the game at a modest $150 budget.
Veteran players, worry not! There's content for you here too. The gang also talks about how to deal with the influx of "fresh meat" coming to tables near you. Also, Ryan throws out a bounty for anyone who can accomplish the "God Shot": 5 Crits with Omega Ace using Swarm Leader.

X-wing pilots, we close out the year with a mega-sized Art of X-Wing!
Dee rifles through the entire history of Western military technology looking for lessons to be learned on the application of deploying new ships and upgrades in X-Wing. How will we move on from jousting Defender knights and the Dengaroo Jabberwocky?
FLY BETTER! And have a great New Year!
This week we play catchup and discuss the viability of the Rogue One ships that are about to drop! Is this U-Wing the Rebel Lambda? Will Boshek Bo-Wreck your day? Are the Strikers squirrely enough to overcome their low agility? Find our all that and more on this episode!

This week we are very pleased to have two awesome guests on the show: Tobias Winter and Worlds 2016 Top 16 finisher Steffen Kaehler. They bring their voices to us from the mythical land of Germany, where Unicorns graze in the wide open spaceports. They discuss their experience at Worlds as well as the current popularity of the game. Check out the time stamps below!

It's a tugboat! Leave it to the Scum & Villainy faction to slap some guns on the Quadjumper and field it in combat. It has some nifty tricks, including being the first X-Wing ship to move backward. Time will tell if this jury rigged commercial craft will prove combat ready.
We then share our squads and results from San Diego Regional, with a heavy emphasis on TIE Defenders. All three of us flew it, because they're unequivocally great...but since everybody knows this, do they ironically become a liability in the upper tiers of a premiere tournament?
The answer as always:
FLY BETTER!
X-wing pilots, we analyze the top squads from Worlds with our very own Top 16er, Joe Desmond! Then the never-ending season continues into Regionals, as we congratulate San Diego winner, our very own Joe Desmond!
We were long overdue for an interview with our Mynock Chosen One, but his recent successes give us ample reason to finally feature Joe on the show. Joe and Dee draw upon first-hand head-to-head experiences to discuss the top squads at Worlds. Ryan was there too, we guess. Ryan provides his own very valuable insight!
