My two favorite ships. Help me make them work.

List so far.

Pilots

------

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (56)

VT-49 Decimator (46), Mercenary Copilot (2), Mercenary Copilot (2), Fleet Officer (3), Experimental Interface (3)

Rexler Brath (44)

TIE Defender (37), Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

I did toy around with veteran instincts on both to give higher pilot skills to destroy phantoms. Also couldn't fit expose in, as Fleet Officer takes up the extra action. Can the fleet officer assign a focus token to the Decimator as well what with all the "range of itself" errata? Also tried to include wingman to remove stresses.

I believe it can. But I think TL is better with Chinreau at range 1, because of his mini-focus like ability. I'm not sure you need EI. You'd be double stressing yourself with Fleet Officer.

Darn it. I knew I missed something Back to the drawing board!

Is doubling up Merc Copilots really worth it? I mean, sure, if you can stay at Range 3 all the time it's great but the Decimator isn't /that/ fast, especially without EU.

Wingman on Chiropractor and PTL on Brath is 5pts to FO+EI's 6, though there's a tougher range restriction.

How about:

Chirpy+Wingman+Merc

Brath+PTL+HLC

97pts

Not sure what the best option for the last three points is. Could hide Brath with TacJam, Vader for more crits, double up Merc Copilot, etc...

If I wanted to primarily dish out crits, I'd fly something like:

Etahn Abaht + R2 + PtL + EU

4x Prototype Pilots + Chardaan Refit

That list is all crits, all the time.

This probably works better despite not being crit centric with Rexlar/Chirpy

Oicuun+Expose+weapons engineer

or Admiral+weapons engineer

Oicuun+Expose+weapons engineer+Dauntless

100 points...

Tough to chose but i like the idea of the admiral feeding Oicuun an extra action so that he can use Expose all the time and still Focus and or TL and since he gets to TL two times he may not have to TL that often allowing for more focus. The Admiral sort of has a built in min focus...

Yes....two Merc Copilots are worth it.

I've been using this with a little success, not enough games in to start adjusting though.

I posted a very similar list to the one above. I called it Critical Thinking. I'm glad that you are having some success with it. I can't wait to try it.
