Looking at that incredible dial I am seriously rethinking the benefit of running a 360 arc HLC. At first I thought that range one dead spot would be a huge negative but that ship has insane maneuverability and with PTL it will be all over the map in a flash. Barrel roll + 3 speed moves and you are at range 2 easy. As an imperial player mostly this thing is starting to scare me!

I've had mine preordered for a while, can't wait to try it out

Yeah, once Wave 5 comes out, I think it's time to store my phantom and interceptors in their hangers and bring out the Decimator, defender, and bounty hunter lists!

Is that possible? 30 + 40 + 33?

Haha, no, not at the same time. Just thinking different combinations of Decimator+Defender or Decimator+BH.

How about Double Decimators with Howlrunner, or a Patrol Leader, Kenkirk, and Backstabber?

Wow, two decimators is 32 hp. Those are crazy ships.

this is a list I want to try. went 1-1 against it yesterday when my friend tried it. Have Chiraneau run away and get chased, while Oicunn chases the chaser and tries to ram. Brutal.

Please share us the upgrades, the pilots and the dial, greettings.

For the YT2400? That stuff has been 100% spoiled over the past couple days. You can find it if you dig a little. There is an FFG article, and a few threads about it.

Really not liking how this bodes for Interceptors especially. Phantoms too, but not nearly as much.

Except for Soontir I don't think interceptors will be played much until the scum card that is supposed to be a buff for it comes out.

Until Scum Boba comes in and poops on your day

which scum card are you referring to?

There's something in the Star Viper pack that the developers say will help interceptors against turrets. My guess is the 2 Autoth(rusters) cards. They look like they might be Modifications!

nice! that'll be a great boon for the interceptors. Unfortunately, Named Phantoms will have to give up ACD for it. It does help out the Sigma/Shadow squadron phantoms though... interesting!

If you use outrider you cannot use gunner or luke as you forgo all of your primary weapon attacks. But yeah I can see a YT-1300 and YT-2400 build in the makings.

  I took Gunner and Luke out of all my builds. With focus and evade to contend with, it's relatively easy to negate all but one hit. My gunner often sits in the corner sleeping because my opponent chooses to take one hit out of five dice. I would love to reroll, but a hit is a hit.

That's what you have to do. At first if you don't know they are running gunner the mistake is to use your focus and evade to cancel all attacks, then you eat another attack where they use their target lock and focus and you have no tokens. Take 1 hit and save the tokens for a ship that can't get cheap re-rolls.

HA! The mistake is not knowing what you're opponant is running!

I'm not sure who good PtL will be on it actually. As you say, it has a fantastic dial. But it becomes a very small dial if you're stressed. It makes your next turn move really obvious, and if you can be blocked, you will be.

I think Dash with Predator and Recon Specialist is the better way to go. Open up that whole dial, instead of relying on room to barrel roll and/or not getting blocked all the time.
