Defender/Bomber list(s)

By Filter, in X-Wing

Only recently managed to pick up 2 more TIE Bombers for a total of 3, as well as 3 E-Wings(mainly for the Flechettes as I mostly play Imps). I have 1 base list to try with 2 variants for it. Defender off by itself as flanker with Bombers trying to stay together-ish. Thoughts about these would be appreciated.

Col. Vessery + HLC + Outmaneuver - 45 points

3x Scimitar + Flechette Torpedoes - 54 points

99 points

Col. Vessery + Ion Cannon + Outmaneuver - 41 points

Capt. Jonus - 22 points

2x Scimitar + Flechette Torpedoes - 36 points

99 points

Col. Vessery + Ion Cannon - 38 points

Capt. Jonus + Flechette Torpedo + Squad Leader - 26 points

2x Scimitar + Flechette Torpedoes - 36 points

100 points

I guess I would go with the first list. I don't like an Ion Cannon on Vessery's with a bunch of bombers. He is your offense and an Ion cannon while disruptive, isn't going to be making your opponents ships explode. I just don't see it getting much use.

Now with that said, I would probably drop the HLC for siesmic charges on all the bombers. That way you get a little more utility out of them.

Try looking at scimitars with EU and proton bombs. EU helps post mine deployment and the rest of the points can go to defender. you want you opponent to fear both, and maybe bombers less.

Been looking at replacing Vessery with a Phantom though keeping the above lists more or less intact for the moment:

List 1

Whisper + ACD + Outmaneuver + FCS + Tactician - 43 points

3x Scimitars + Flechette Torpedoes + Munitions Failsafe - 57 points

100 points

List 2

Whisper + ACD + Outmaneuver + FCS - 41 points

Capt. Jonus - 22 points

2x Scimitars + Flechette Torpedoes - 36 points

100 points

I only have the 2 EU cards so can't equip all the bombers though dropping 1 of the bombers is the 18 points needed to equip 2 EU and 2 Proton Bombs.

Maybe drop Whisper down to Echo then give Jonus Squad Leader with those 2points.

Vessery+vi

Ogp+weapons engineer+st321

Gamma x2

99 points if my head math is correct.

Lots of TLs running Around

Brath+predator

Doom shuttle

Gamma

Scimitar

Everyone shoots before Vader. Can block the shuttle if you need to. 4 ships always seems too low to me. But there's 28 HP in that list and 8 of it is shield

98 points

A list I am interested in trying out is 2X Delta w/ HLC and Jonus with 4 points to flavour as you see fit. Jonus gives you a psedo TL so you can focus with the HLC's. Very dangerous at 3 range, and would probably make falcon lists cry a little.

If you give vessery squad leader, he can give a scimitar a target lock on his p.s. And then benefit from his ability, and in list 2 you free up a point for determination on jonus
