I was lucky enough to know people going to Gencon and I was able to get my hands on a Decimator and YT2400. I haven't been able to play with them all that much, but from what I have been able to do, I've loved. The most experience I have is with the Decimator. Full disclosure, Captain Oicunn is everything I ever wanted in a big ship, and he is SOOOOOOOO much fun to play even though I have no idea how I can make it work competitively.

My list has been as follows (confession: I have never run a 2 ship lists and this goes against everything I have held dear and true to myself)

Captain Oicunn

-Predator

-Dauntless

-Mara Jade

-Navigator

-Rebel Captive

-Engine Upgrade

60 points

Whisper

-VI

-FCS

-ACD

39 points

Strategy has been, get the Decimator lined up to ram, and try to keep it in range 1 to throw stresses while Whisper plays clean up. I played a game where I drew 4 direct hits on the Decimator and it never slowed down. Engine upgrade helps turn in sharper or boost into range 1 to make sure you're stressing all possible ships. Predator lets you reroll 1/2 attack depending (lone wolf might work better here), and you have the title if you need to focus this turn and don't need to boost / can safely pull off a green maneuver. Keeping your opponent stressed so he can't k-turn behind you has made it run very successful so far. I don't know that this has any place competitively, but it is the most fun I've had running any X-wing list.

Since Decimators doesn't have any agility dice except at range 3 or behind cover, I suggest keeping Predator so you always benefit from it, and it can even benefit you more against low PS ships.

That was my original thought, especially because the meta around here sees a lot of PS2 and lower ships and I'm always trying to stay in range 1 of my opponent. I'm never really seeing the range 3 defense except for the very first turn of combat (sometimes). Lonewolf probably would be advantageous if I was running Commander Kenkirk (traitor), because typically Whisper is batting clean up a good distance from the Decimator (but just nullifying that once at range 2 would be awful).

If there was a change I would make is maybe change Predator for Intimidation and switch the captive for a gunner. Or keep the Captive and put a Tactician in the Phantom.

I'd drop predator and run intimidation with (looking at you Vorpal Sword) 2 alpha interceptors instead of whisper for maximum agility reduction bonus, but honestly predator has been amazing for me on the Decimator so far.

I was planning on trying a similar list this weekend:

Rear Admiral Chiraneau

+Veteran Instincts

+Rebel Captive

+Gunner

Whisper

+Veteran Instincts

+Mara Jade

+Fire Control System

+Advanced Cloaking Device

Comes to 97 for initiative bid. PS 10 on the Decimator so I can shoot Phantoms before re-cloak and stay out of the way of my own Whisper. Mara on Whisper so when she starts shooting her target or anyone who gets too close to her will end up stressed.

Should have pretty decent damage output since Chiraneau's action most turns should likely be TL combined with is ability with a Gunner backup and Whisper getting Focus and a TL if further shots required.
