I have had a similar situation pop up several times, but its been something rebel vs Vader (most recent was Luke vs Vader). Vader's high pilot skill lets him barrel roll out of fire arcs, or line up a shot he wouldn't other wise have. Even with 1 damage on vader and a clean Luke, I lost the battle and never even got a shot off.

I'll take MM over the Alpha 4 games out of 5.

That's it man, game over man, game over!

While it does help a lot, you can do the same trick with low PS pilots, using experience and guesswork. After all, they can only move forward, and out of those moves there are only that few moves which are considered good What most players need to really do is to play more rounds with just the core set alone. Just 1 academy 1 obisidian vs 1 rookie + torps. It is very very basic, but it covers pretty much everything the game has to offer, except boost and ions. I play this simple lineup so often, i can confidently say i do not need a high PS to line up my rolls and targetlocks most of the time. After that, it is just a matter of stepping up the game to 100pts, but it is still the exact same game, just with a little bit more ships
