Hence why jax will get killed ASAP. Without him half your fleet becomes useless.

So you're telling me there's a chance...... YEAH!

...

But as much as you think that Advanced Sensor is a better choice than Sensor Jammer (which I respect by the way, and until I actually try out Sensor Jammer, I agree), I don't think the Shuttle suddenly become useless just because Jax is dead and there is a Sensor Jammer on the Shuttle instead of Advanced Sensor. Sensor Jammer is not half the fleet and it can still be useful without Jax.

Anyway, thanks for the reply guys.

All I'm doing basically is saying, were I playing against this I'd kill Jax. I'd laugh at your Sensor Jammer, and be glad you didn't have Advanced Sensors. But I've never seen Jax do well.... I feel like he's good, but I wish a Firespray had his ability. That would be beastly.

Alright, if after trying Sensor Jammer (because I have yet to try it, unlike Adv Sensor), I go with Advanced Sensor. Drop the Shield upgrade on Jax for a Hull and use the 3 points for a Hull upgrade on the RGP, like this:

Captain Kagi + Advanced Sensor + Engine Upgrade

Carnor Jax + PtL + Hull Upgrade + Stealth Device

Royal Guard Pilot + PtL + Hull Upgrade

What would be best for the 3 points left: A Ion Cannon on the Shuttle or a Stealth Device on the Royal Guard Pilot? My guts tell me Ion Cannon for some control.

What about Rebel Captive for more control shenanigans?

I was eyeballing this build and thought it was a bit upgrade heavy so why not drop the RGP and some upgrades for 3 eyeballs.

Captain Kagi + Sensor Jammer + Engine Upgrade

Carnor Jax + Push the Limit

Academy Pilot x 3

Not bad, but Jax is left unprotected so here's the named pilot variant:

Captain Kagi + Sensor Jammer + Engine Upgrade

Carnor Jax + Push the Limit + Stealth Device

Dark Curse

Night Beast

With 2 points for initiative bid. Dark Curse fits right into the action denial theme. Night Beast could get upgraded to Backstabber or Mauler Mithel but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Like Ribann said, its more a thematic build that can hopefully hold its ground than a competitive build that would obliterate the opposition. So 2 Royal Interceptor and a Shuttle it must be. Technically, it could go down to 3 RGP and a Shuttle but then, we would lose the Jax and Kagi synergy at the origin of the build and worst, much much worst... the symetry! The horror...

I thought about the Rebel Captive, but it goes against the idea that I would prefer if my opponent goes after the Shuttle rather than the Interceptors.
