Hi,

actually I play this build:

Doomshuttle

3 Avenger Tie Interceptors

Backstabber

I set the shuttle in one corner. Backstabber is set in the opposite corner or next to the shuttle.

The Interceptors are most in the middle. I flank the opponent most with Backstabber and one Interceptor. I try to attack my opponent from all directions with my fleet at once, most cases it functions really good shooting with the complete Fleet.

I loose most games because my opponent always goes first for the support and lets the doomshuttle beside. When alle the support is killed the doomshuttle is easy outmaneuvered. What would you do to win with this build?

I think of using another build or making the shuttle a bigger priority for the opponent.

Another build I like on the paper:

OGP Shuttle + Engine

Backstabber

2 x Sigma Sq. Phantom + Stygium Particel Accelerator + Sensor Jammer

But I am not sure if it is the solution to change the build for harder support.

Cheers, and thank you for your help

The Doomshuttle provides reliable damage (at least against things it can capture in its firing arc) but not much of it, and your "support" ships are fragile. Your deployment makes the problem worse by giving your opponent a chance to beat up part of your list while you struggle to bring the other parts to the fight.

I would do two things:

(1) Use something other than three Avenger Squadron Pilots. You need something more durable, and these are the least efficient Interceptor pilots on offense or defense: they're as fragile as Alpha Squadron Pilots, but more expensive, and with no unique abilities that might make them better. As just a few ideas, you could use two Delta Squadron Pilots, a single highly skilled Phantom pilot and another TIE Fighter or two, or a Decimator, or Howlrunner with three more TIE Fighters.

I'm not sure a pair of low-PS Phantoms is the way to go, however: they don't hold up particularly well to your opponent's concentrated fire, and you already know your opponents are typically going to shoot at them first. I would pick something with a lot of hit points rather than something that relies on very high Agility to keep it safe.

(2) Split your force into two elements, not three; deploy them at approximately Range 2 from one another, rather than in opposite corners; and then practice until you can concentrate fire reliably on the second round. Basically, make sure your opponent can't engage one part of your list without being attacked by both parts.

Vader Shuttle

Royal Guard + PTL

Royal Guard + PTL

Turr Phennir + VI

I think this was my list during the Imdaar Alpha time period, it was very solid. Turr with VI works in this list solely for the NEED for PS 9, and the freedom of an Interceptor not being stressed by PTL all the time.

That being said, im not sure my list would hold up in this meta.

I actually do like the look of your list well enough. I don't particularly run Avenger, but they seem like a solid choice with a Doom Shuttle and the need to counter PS 2 ships.

Give it some play tests! The Vader shuttle will CERTAINLY earn his keep in that list. I cant imagine anyone wasting shots on it with all those Interceptors flying around!

Hi, thank you for your great help. I am testing some new builds and the above given build. It is really hard to get better in this game and have more fun

when new. Thank you soo much.

Cheers Dark Curse

I like your second more than the first.

I like Turr royal beef better blackened (BSP+ wingman and ptl for Turr).
