so here is a try at a firespray list what do you folks thinks?

Kath Scarlet + ion cannon + Rebel captive + engine upgrade

2 x Royal guards + VI + Hull upgrade.

Thanks

What's the point of VI on the Royal Guards? Is it to keep up with VI Echo? I think you'd be better of dropping the VI and Hull for PTL and smacking VI on Kath.

Good point but yes the idea for vi was to keep up with Echo.

Kath Scarlet + ion cannon + Rebel captive + engine upgrade

With only 3 ships, I don't believe you can give up a third of your firepower for the control you get from an ion cannon. If you've only got three guns on the table, you need every one of them to be swinging like a freight train. At the very least lose the ion, and since you're not using the EPT slot anyway, drop to Krassis and try to fit an HLC. I believe that if you lose the VI you'll have enough points to do so.

I also question the value of VI even if its most basic purpose it to "keep up" with Echo. Even then you're subject to initiative and still lose to Whisper.

Definitely change the Hull Upgrade for PtL. Take Evade with one of the two actions and have it used once any you've covered the Hull Upgrade's points.

Ion on a Firespray is a bad idea IMO. You lose so much from giving up the rear arc and/or you give up the 3pts for the Ion Cannon by using the rear arc; either way not good. Also as mentioned, Interceptors needs PTL.

Hey thanks for the pointer everyone the vi and ion for something different are great ideas.

If you drop the Ion Cannon from Kath and the VI from the RGPs, you could swap the hull upgrades for PTL, smack VI on Kath and upgrade one of the RGPs to either Turr or Carnor.

PS 9 Kath can make pretty good use of the engine upgrade to make sure she has a shot.

I love the Firespray + 2 Interceptor list. I've flown a lot of variations, but my favorite is;

Bounty Hunter

Recon specialist

Fel

Stealth Device

Push the Limit

Turr

Stealth Device

Push the Limit

I found this list either smashes the competition without losing a ship, or it gets smashed by the competition. Either way it is a blast to fly.

i did fly a vertion of this this last sunday for the first time with a friend of mine who flew my falcon ad=nd couple of x-wings i got smashed fairly fast but it was fun and i can see potential with this.

While recon is good on the fire spray ive had decent sucess lately with either rebel cap or taction

My take on your list;

Kath Scarlet (38)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Tactician (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Royal Guard Pilot (22)
Push the Limit (3)
Targeting Computer (2)

Royal Guard Pilot (22)
Push the Limit (3)
Targeting Computer (2)

Total: 99

Kath is on stress duty. She has 2 arcs that can trigger tactician, and if the enemy cancels a critical hit, they get a second stress.

Interceptors flank, arc dodge where they can, focus + evade if they think they're going to get hit, and target lock if the opportunity arises.
