Returning Player Looking for List Advice

By 5-Cents, in X-Wing

So like the title says I'm returning to X-Wing after a hiatus that started just after Wave 2, and I've been tinkering with Wave 3-Wave 4 options for Imps and any feedback would be appreciated. I hope to get on Vassal at some point soon to actually play some games again. Anyway the lists:

"Shuttle Escort"-99

Col Jendon "Buzzsaw" (FCS, Gunner, St-321,EU)-40

Soontir Fel (PtL)-30

Carnor Jax (PtL)-29

"Defender w/ Elite Tie Swarm"-99

Rexler Brath (HLC, Predator)-47

Howlrunner-18

Mauler Mithal (VI)-18

Backstabber-16

"Just a Few Ties"-99

Whisper (Recon Specialist, VI, FCS, ACD)-42

Howlrunner-18

3x Obsidian Squadron Pilot

"The BSP is also a Colonel"-100

Col Vessey (HLC, Predator)-45

Col Jendon (FCS, Gunner, ST-32, EU)-40

Black Squadron Pilot (VI)-15

So what do people think?

first of all welcome back to the glorious empire my son.

and i do like all oif ure lists while iam a guy that prefersto fly as many ties possible with the exception of some interceptors i really think that all of ure list are well thought like the BSP list with jendon and vessery who combine thier pilot abilties to achieve high dps at a single entity.

Welcome back. I have a few ideas for your first suggested list:

"Shuttle Escort"-99

Col Jendon "Buzzsaw" (FCS, Gunner, St-321,EU)-40

Soontir Fel (PtL)-30

Carnor Jax (PtL)-29

Ok, so Jendon really isn't doing anything for you here. I mean, he can toss a couple TLs out, but that's about all he'll manage before combat is joined and he'll be using the TLs himself. It would mean that your super fragile and expensive Interceptors have to stick close to him, and therefore be at much greater risk.

Now, you can consider shifting Jendon to Kagi and drop the title. Now, if the target lock, if able, they must target lock Kagi. This removes one of the better options for dealing with Carnor as he shuts down focus tokens and evade tokens. It also leaves you with 3 points to play with, so you could even give Soontir Fel a Targeting Computer or a Hull Upgrade.

Or, you could drop Jendon to an Omicron Group Pilot with no title. No special ability, but you save a lot of points. That gives you 9 points left. You can easily give both Carnor and Soontir a shield upgrade. Or give both a hull upgrade instead and you have 3 points leftover. Either give Carnor a Stealth Device or upgrade the shuttle to Yorr so he can eat stress.
