I am playing in a 120 point tourney next week and want to know if this list will be competitive. I assume at least someone will be playing a Han and Dash list. Last time I played at this location I played against two Han lists. I was 1-1 against them with Soontir, Krass and 2xAcademy.

My idea

Krass (50)

HLC

Ysanne

Proximity

Howlrunner(18)

Rear Admiral Chiraneau(52)

Expose

Mercenary Copilot

Let me have it!

Consider Predator over Expose, it's practically actionless so you don't really worry about stress(just focus when possible), it still pops Fat Hans, will do better vs swarms, and leaves you with a point for init/IA/VI on Howl.

Unfortunately you don't get the Krassis reroll on the Proxy Mine. The bomb's not a bad choice but works better with the lowest PS possible. If you drop that, you could run Rebel Captive or Mara on Chirpy, which can be a great deterrent to keep the Deci alive a little longer, which you want because Chirpy deals FANTASTIC damage.

Personally don't care for howlrunner in a list where she is really only helping 1 ship, since she won't do anything for that hlc. 18 is spendy for 1 reroll. I don't like the merc pilot because I would think you'd wanna stay as close as you can to range 1 or 2 to make use of your pilot ability.

If youre taking ysanne I'd prefer on the vt.

Here's what I would take if you want to use those pilots.

Krassis
HLC
Recon Specialist
Tactical Jammer

Rear Admiral C
Expose
Isard
Experimental Interface

Dark Curse


Recon on Krassis because rolling 4 attack die with 1 reroll focus will be your friend, and 2 green dice isnt bad to have an extra focus with. The jammer is mostly there because its all you can really get for 1 pt. It could come up I guess.

Experimental on RAC so you can expose and use a real action.

And dark curse is just annoying to kill so for a single tie will soak up a bit more shooting.

Take this whole post with as many grains of salt as you can find, as I have not flown any wave 5 yet so this is just what looks good on paper to me.

Here's a 119 point idea:

Rear admiral

Marksmanship - at range 1-2 you can flip 2 focus results to crits and the rest to hits.

Ysanne - you will get good use of the auto evades with 12 hull.

Krassis

HLC - good choice for reroll.

Recon specialist - with 4 attack dice and 2 green dice this will really improve your odds.

Tactical jammer - slip the rear admiral in behind you, he is the rear admiral after all.

Dark curse

Stealth device - use him as a flanker and an annoying distraction.

Good luck with the tournament!

Thanks for all the ideas! Now I just need to get a little practice in before tourney.
