So I am starting in a new league. Initially we all picked a pilot of choice and I have Fel.

We are not allowed any other named pilot yet so, I fancy flying a "swarm"

Soontir Fel, PtL, Royal Guard Tie, Stealth Device, Targeting Computer (35)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot x 5 (65)

Seems pretty robust to me......

Thoughts?

35's a healthy chunk of change to throw in a single Interceptor. If he goes down, you're only left with a 5 tie swarm.

Makes me want to suggest Black Squadrons with DTF as wingmen.

Annoyingly, you can only afford 1 of them without reducing the number of Ties you've got, so your list works pretty well for that. It'd work better with Turr Phennir, as you could then afford more BS pilots.

Now, I have, on occasion, been a bastard, which leads me to the following thought:

What do you think about flying him alongside two large-base ships?

I'm talkin a Bounty Hunter (33) and an OGP Mystical Void Buffalo (32), which wind up at 65 points combined, same as your swarm.

I have been flying him with 2 Firesprays and he is lethal. I have to use Soontir as he is my chosen pilot for the whole campaign and as of now, we are allowed no other named in our list.

Soonter is amazing. Give him PtL and a TC. This way he can have an evade, TL, and focus every round that he's in the tick of battle.

I also agree that the BH is Soonter's best friend. I've been running two named interceptors with a BH with great success.

I would be more inclined to run,

1- Soontir Fel (27) with title (0) vet inst (1)

1- Royal Guard (22) with Title (0) Shield (4) and Vet Inst (1)

3- Black Sq Pilot (14) with vet (1)

Everything is going to most likely go before anything else and could take down a slave 1 or a smuggler before they get a turn of shooting.
