So my friends and I tend to play casually but we enjoy list building like anyone else. We always play rebel vs Imperial and as I just got a pair of TIE defenders i figured Id make a couple fun builds.

The one I think will be a lot of fun would be:

1 Onyx Tie/D

2 Saber Tie/IN

2 Obsidian Tie/Ln

I enjoy the facelessness of the empire and My friends tend to run rookies and blues with the odd named pilot in there. So I figure i can try to win the ps battle with his expendable pilots while still getting 5 ships in here. Also Im kinda OCD about making a "symetrical" squad...

Any tips or tricks to flying a squad like this?

I'd think about dropping the Scimitars to Alpha Squadron, the Onyx to Delta and picking up a Heavy Laser Cannon on the Defender.

What about engine upgrade plus Ion cannon?
