Most people seem to run Corran with FCS and Marksmanship... that second attack caters really well to using an APT. The target likely won't have any Focus or Evades to use that late in combat. It is expensive, but it will hit hard.

Anyone know the numbers on that hit with Marksmanship? It seems getting at least one crit is guaranteed unless you roll all hits. I think the best part is that there's a good chance you will end up with 5 hits before defense dice, meaning the crits are likely to get through.

I'm too lazy to work it out precisely, since keeping track of hits and crits separately makes things more complicated, but you're right: the only way to end up with 0 crits is if you roll all hits, which has a probability of just 0.7%.

So APT probably is a pretty nice tool to have around if you've already invested in FCS and Marksmanship. My only concern is that he's already going to be a priority target for your opponent, and he's pretty durable--but if he dies quickly, that's 46 points up in smoke (not counting a droid).

I really like this concept. Torpedoes and Corrahn. Super alpha strike styles!

So... Corran with proton torp is 39 Cracken predator cluster missile 26

That's 65 points for a lot of oomph, You could probably destroy a tricked out YT with those two.

Just made this not been tested but it might be viable for what you're trying to do.

Corran (35)

• R2 (1)
• Adv Torps (6)
• FCS (2)
• Marksmanship (3)

Cracken (19)

• Assault Missiles (5)
• Munitions Failsafes (1)
• Predator (3)

Biggs (25)

You could swap Cracken's predator for R2-F2 on Biggs if you think that would help them survive more.

...whoa. This just made him appeal to me that much more. I hadn't thought about the Marksmanship+FCS essentially providing you a TL+F for the APT attack...

I like it. A lot.

Lolz using Biggs and survive in the same sentence.

I think I'd like to try it in more than a 3 ship build. There are a lot of options for PS2 filler ships or Z builds.

Corran seems more fun as a flank than a Biggs formation flyer.

Why Cracken? Why not this?

Corran + Marksmanship + FCS + Advanced Proton Torp

This way you can double up on all those delicious crits.

I like that idea!

That looks like a pretty meaty list too. Though, real focused fire might take out Corran.
