Ethan + ORS

By polmoneys, in X-Wing

Etahn A'baht — E-Wing 32

Push the Limit 3

Fire-Control System 2

R2 Astromech 1

Ten Numb — B-Wing 31

Veteran Instincts 1

Outer Rim Smuggler — YT-1300 27

Tactician 2

Millennium Falcon 1

Is ORS a good way to make the most out of Ethan? Shooting late hopefully at R1 with a crit feels optimal. HP and blocking as a bonus vs. 2 Proto A-wings or a named X-wing pilot.

I'm guessing Ten will die first but Ethan is a tank with PTL+FCS and if ypu leave ORS for last Evade + Tactician+ 360 ain't a bad end game piece.

What do you think? Any ideas/improvements ? I like Ethan/Ten as core of the squad...

What is Ten Numb doing for you, here?

In mi mind is forcing whisper to take evade and shoot without focus. I was in the need for a high PS/tanky/main threat ship. What would you bring?

I fail to see how a ORS possibly maximises the benefit of Etahn's ability. It is a single shot. If you want a ship that shoots last then get a number of Z's.

Etahn works beautifully in the fleets that Wes works in. That is to say, one with at least 3 more ships, to fully take advantage of his passive.

He is a superb Flanker; one that increases the damage dealt to enemies simply by aiming, even if he doesn't fire.

Now, as far as the ORS goes, I'd either double-down on the Tactician and grab an Engine Upgrade, or go with APL + Navigator + Intel Agent instead. Neither has good synergy with Etahn, but are the two best ORS builds I've seen to date.

A PS9+ B-wing is a nice thing to have, but IMO Ten is too expensive for what he accomplishes. I'd rather have Keyan Farlander + VI + Advanced Sensors and save a point for initiative--or, in a list with Etahn, 2x Prototype Pilot + Chardaan Refit.
