Like the title says, comments and critics welcome.
x1 Omicron Group Shuttle w/ Advanced Sensors & Engine Upgrade = 28 pts
x6 Academy Tie Pilots = 72 pts
Comes to a hudred point on the dot.
The 6 ties roll out together as a swarm with the shuttle deployed on the opposing flank....depending on asteroids, enemy deployment, opponents list, etc..
***I'm debating on dropping 3 Academy pilots for 2 Alpha Squadron Interceptors... I don't know.***
Let me know what you think
Thanks
Edited by Ex-wingi like it. lots of ships is always good. some might say howlrunner is a glaring omission but i think that extra ship might be worth the trade-off. NOT having howlrunner makes is harder for your opponent to decide how to beat you as well.
a similar variant id consider playing that does use Howlrunner is:
Omicron+Gunner+FCS+Engine Upgrade
5x Academy Pilot
Howlrunner + Swarm Tactics
I had considered putting Howlrunner in but as you mentioned, she would be a priority target for most experienced players.
I lot is gonna depend on moving the Ties in formation to overlap firing arcs, and maneuvering the shuttle in a fire support role & late game tanking.
It's all theory at the moment, we'll see what happens on the actual day of the tourney.

That's 112 points. You're 1 academy TIE over my friend
As for the original list, go for it, it looks tough to kill
I've had a lot of success with:
OGP + FCS + Gunner + EU
Sabre + PTL
Howlrunner + ST
Academy
Academy
So far i'm 6-0 up with this list and find it well balanced. I tend to fly with the 3 TIEs in the centre, the Sabre flanking and the Shuttle hanging back and mopping up.
