so we're going imperial. putting together a list i've only seen flown with the OGP

Echo, VI, ACD

Bounty Hunter, proximity mine

black squad x2

thoughts?

Why Black Squadron, if you're not giving them EPTs? Using Obsidian Squadron instead frees up two points and the nice situation of your escort ships all moving on the same PS.

And if you also exchange the Proximity Mine for Seismic Charges, that means you can afford a Recon Specialist for Echo--which, IMO, she really wants/needs.

Yeah, Echo really needs Recon Specialist so you can be abusing a four focused red dice and four focused green dice.

What sorts of imp lists have been beating you? What are you playing against them? I agree that Echo would love Recon Specialist, makes her more durable. The Bounty Hunter could make use of it, too. Proximity mines have their uses but those uses are few. Also, feel free to play around with some of the unique TIE Fighters. For instance, I might demote one of those to an Academy to fit in Dark Curse or Backstabber, or you could try an Obsidian with Night Beast.

Needs more defender.

I tend to agree, provided the "Motor Vehicle" card doesn't start making a more dominant appearance in the meta since it appears to be a very hard counter.

As for tweaks to the list, I agree with Vorpal, Rec Spec on Echo is a great upgrade to work in there, though I'd change out the then seismic mine for either rebel captive or tactician.

I'd agree with Engine25, the named TIE's are loads of fun to fly. Dark Curse and Mauler MIthell being two of my favorites. If you could squeeze recon on Echo, that'd make that ship just devastating.

I had the same thought, but the OP's signature implies he doesn't have one.

What wet behind the ears rookie doesn't have the finest imperial starfighter ever produced?

Buy at least three!

More seriously I can not advise recon specialist enough on a mercenary, ups it's defensive and firepower nicely.

I'm gonna take Vorpal's suggestion, drop the ties and add recon specialist to echo.

I've been flying a 4 ship Rebel list, ZEXY or more recently a ZEXX.

I've been beaten by interceptors, a defender/phantom/interceptor combo. I seem to do a little better with the Y wing on my team, but not enough to consider revamping the list. Rebel aces will regenerate some of my Rebel use I feel.
