Experiments with a Fett - Advice on learning to fly with Fett?

By HoundsTooth, in X-Wing

After reading dotswarlock thread regarding Boba Fett and the 'counter-meta'...

... I've been inspired to adopt Fett as my named pilot of choice. I'm going to attempt to 'learn the game' flying the current Imperial version and then hopefully in the new year have a dabble with the Scum & Villainy version. So with that all in mind here is my first list:

Boba Fett - Outmaneuver/Engine Upgrade/Intelligence Agent

Delta Squadron - Heavy Laser Cannon

Black Squadron - Draw Their Fire

Squad comes in at 99pts and the main idea is to use the Defender as a flanker, the TIE acting as insurance for either the Defender or the Firespray. I know that three ship Imperial builds are less popular but the three come in at nineteen sheild/hull points. So... Advice? Tips? Crit... No, not that type!

Ive been wanting to exparament with something like this

Fett +daredivil +enginup grade+ rebel captive

Howelrunner

Maulerithel

Backstaber

100 points

I'm looking at the mini-swarm/Fett combo as well. My initial thought is to keep my initial Boba Fett build and fly him alongside Backstabber and three Academy Pilots. I'm thinking that Backstabber would fulfill the flanker role and the three Academy TIE's would be used to 'gum up the works' of the oppositions formation.

I've also been 'scouring' the interwebs for inspiration and I've come across the 'X-Wing Trials...' series of videos. One of them has guy playing the first two ship build I've seen... Kath Scarlet and Rexler Brath. I've had a play around and managed to throw my version of that list together:

Boba Fett - Outmaneuver/Engine Upgrade/Navigator (replaces Intelligence Agent from the first list)

Rexler Brath - Predator/Engine Upgrade/Heavy Laser Cannon

The hope is that the maneuverability of the two ships (EU+Navigator on the Firespray and EU combined with the Defenders dial) would allow me to at least attempt to stay out of the fire arcs of regular fighters and maybe keep my distance from any Falcons (my daughters' included!).

If i was goning for a 2 ship i think i would go fett and a shuttle

Im thinking with the boost and daredevil gives another layer of manuverabilty although im thinking about vi

Imperial Fett you really want Navigator. Takes an okay ability and makes it great.
