Just been playtesting a list to see how it does in a potential upcoming tournament setting and thought id try and get some advice on here.

Ive seen similar lists (ship wise) but with different upgrades so figured it can work so... thoughts?

Soontir Fel - Push the Limit, Stealth Device

Echo - Recon Specialist, FCS, ACD, VI

OGP - Tactician, Tactician, Anti Pursuit Lasers

100pts

Now my initial test ended up against a FAT Chewie list and despite whats there i didnt feel like i could confident about putting too much damage on it due to its upgrades/evades/mobility(Goddamn 3P0). The Shuttle did have it worried as those Stress tokens would have left it vulnerable but ill admit the Double Tactician didnt come into play all that often. I was considering dropping it down to a Yorr Doom Shuttle though i didnt have any real problem handling Stress and against a larger swarm i think it would be more effective.

If Wave 5 becomes tournament legal before the start of the tournament however i am thinking Mara Jade might work better, and give me Initiative.

Im thinking of dropping Tacticians for Darth Vader (or Mara maybe) and Enchanced Scopes to make it a better blocker, but should probably test more of the current build for a while too.

Tactician is better for something that can keep it self at range 2, such as maybe a Phantom, you could barrel roll/decloak back to be sure to say at range band 2, you are sacrificing a red dice but giving that stress could be just as important - really depends on if you can block the Falcon (or whatever ship you are stressing) from doing a green the following turn.

Also hey Sonik I remember you from the Worlds twitch chat

Yeah i can get pretty vocal in those Twitch chats lol.

Ok, im pretty happy with most of it however two things.

First...

Echo

FCS + Recon Specialist

or

Tactician + Advanced Sensors

...and then its the shuttle. I want to keep APL, but theres 4 points on those Tacticians. One alternative is to drop them both for a 3 point Crew member and gain an initiative bid. Vader, Mara Jade and Fleet Officer are all choices im considering.

Any thoughts?

Done a little bit more testing with this.

While im loving Soontir and Echo im still not fully certain on the Bus. Also another concern is other than straight up trying to outfly him, i havent got a clue how im really going to handle Dash.

So two things I look at with this list is

1 stealth device, I have seen it fail first time that I can't say it's worth it. Plus the main counter to it is a gunner/luke falcon so in a match up that is a counter to echo it also has a counter to soontir

2 recon specialist, that would mean you plan to focus right, agianst 9 or even 8 it could be 3 points better spent as I'm assuming you would be planing on using it for defence as well. Rebel captive comes to mind.

3im a big fan of the FCS plus eu on the shuttle, sable griffon has a couple of posts on here that show what you can realy do with it and the post opened my eyes and I thought I knew how to fly the shuttle.your helps let the phantom Kur'ngar at will.

This list with the right tweets is a killer so really you need to just fly it and see what you like
