Excited for my maiden voyage with the YT-2400, as Dash is my favorite EU character and I've seemingly been putting lists together for months awaiting the boat to get here.
Here are my two options after much thought, hoping to get some feedback from the community as to which you think is more viable.
Option 1:
Dash Rendar (36)
Lone Wolf (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Jan Ors (2)
Outrider (5)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Total: 100
This list's strategy is obvious Dash flies far from the mini Z-Swarm, utilizing Lone Wolf to his advantage while darting through asteroids. Jan is there to help Dash in the event that he's focused on, while the Z's do their two dice thing, blocking and annoying as best they can.
Option 2:
Dash Rendar (36)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
"Leebo" (2)
Experimental Interface (3)
Outrider (5)
Lieutenant Blount (17)
Assault Missiles (5)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Total: 100
It feels wrong to fly Dash without Leebo, so here's the duo together. My local meta (and it seems like the meta in general) is heavy Swarm/Whisper, and this list does a little to counter both. I've never used Blount before but he's here packing Assault Missiles to be a Swarm Buster. Dash (at 9 PS with VI), can use experimental interface with Leebo to get back into range two to ensure he has an HLC shot.
Has anyone used Blount enough to know if the skill's damage output is worth his cost, or should I go with the extra Z instead?
