Saving Private Stele

By TheRealStarkiller, in X-Wing

Greetings Commanders,

do you think the latest piece of technology, the Experimental Interface could save Maarek?

At least we could 'make him work' without having Darth Vader + SL next to him.

But of course it comes with a price...

37 points
Maarek Stele (37)
TIE Advanced (27), Cluster Missiles (4), Marksmanship (3), Experimental Interface (3)

Would you dare to take him to a tournament?

I would run him without the missiles. I like this idea. I have been running him with opportunist but this might be better.

Actually, yeah. I'd run that, with or without the missiles.

Aren't cluster missles 3 points?

Proton Rockets are 3 points, Clusters are 4 points

Would you dare to take him to a tournament?

In the abstract, sure. When compared to the (large) set of alternatives at 37 points in an Imperial list, no.

And again - thats the point.

For how many points you would field this Maarek?

Maarek Stele Working Version 1.0
TIE Advanced (27), Cluster Missiles (4), Marksmanship (3), Experimental Interface (3)

... hmm ... I think I would be in it for 34 points.

When Soontir Fel costs 30, what's the point?

And there it is, the common refrain to just about every question dealing with the Advanced. There are too many similar and better alternatives.

I'd rather have EI + Expose on Vader instead and have TL/Focus. The problem is, without an Engine Upgrade, the Tie-Adv has a weak dial.

Particularly with respect to stress.

Considering how things have moved towards arc-dodging Falcons that cancel two dice per round and Imperial ships that defend with 3-4 dice, a 33-point two-dice attacker is still going to have trouble pulling his weight.

Though it is closer to a usable Maarek than anyone else has gotten.
