The D-List

By stormtrupertk41, in X-Wing

The D is for ****** haha

I made up this incredibly effective but really dickish list and I had to get some thoughts on it and share it because its been doin me wonders in my local league play.

3 Ship Rebel List:

Nera Dantels, veteran instincts, APTx2, fire control systems

Wes Janson, veteran instincts, R3-A2

Airen Cracken, wingman, proton rockets, stealth device

So, I don't think this needs a lot of explanation but here it goes anyways.

Nera with her ability to get free target locks and to fire torps outside of arch makes her build realllly nasty. Especially, when Airen is handing out a free action so that whenever she fires its basically always 5 hits...twice. Before that happens Wes shoots, to soften up Dantel's target, plus remove any focus or evade they might be hanging on to, if necessary, he can stress them out as well. Then there is the boy-wonder of support pilots. Cracken is there to make it all work. He can pull stress off his buddies, hand out free actions, and even has a little punch of his own with proton rockets, also rolling five dice because of the stealth device.

Even without their payloads the B-wing and X-wing have great firepower, and after everyone sees Nera's B-Wing they focus fire there, and that ship is meant for the pounding. Thoughts?

B-wing/E2 + Recon Specialist, VI -> Deadeye. Suddenly Nera can shoot at anything that gets close rather than having to plan ahead, and the sensor slot is free for Advanced Sensors.

Oh, very nice. Had not thought of that. I might like to play with that idea. Although I am not overly fond of losing VI. It's potentially not a big deal, but I can think of more than a few times where Nera being PS7 has led to a ship being totally blown away rather than getting in that critical shot.

I would put FT on Wes to make things more stressful
