Ahh.. yeah... clusters.. forgot about that..ok... be interesting to see that pulled off...
Yet Another Post about the TIE/x1 Title
2 attacks each from Clusters, 4 Tempests. 16 guaranteed damage and Clusters are r1-2 so barring rocks that's a Deci kill.Decimator, we hardly knew ye.Maybe 4 tempests with cluster missiles and accuracy correcter. Nobody wants to get hit with 16 hits in one turn.
AC is only good for 2 hits...
I had just assumed the ac was a "primary weapon" deal.
That is nasty. Poor decimator, not so Dauntless now eh?
What does this do to Falcons and Flying donuts?
Who would have thought the turret counter would be, well...
... the former most unloved ship in the game?

YT-1300 rolls eight defense dice. Eight defense dice without tokens cancel three attack dice. Thirteen damage kill even named pilots.
YT-2400 rolls 16 defense dice. 16 defense dice without tokens cancel six attack dice. Ten damage kill every pilot.
At a minimum, both suffer heavy damage.
Edited by dvorYeah it all dependant on evade dice.. I threw 6 dice for a cluster the other day and threw poorly, and the defender rolled well.. 0 hits and no glory for my side... just proves nothing is guaranteed.

Congratulations. You've just persuaded me that I need to buy 2 more Advanced whilst I wait 
I'd like to try AC+Ruthlessness on Vader, for 3 auto-damage each round.
...I love it!
Add in cluster missiles, that's 6 auto damage...
Something tells me AC will be changed to primary weapon only/once per turn...
Edited by StilgodI can see this build eating any of the fat turret builds alive- while still being generally solid:
Darth Vader — TIE Advanced 29
Predator 3
Advanced Targeting Computer 1
Shield Upgrade 4
TIE/x1 0
Tempest Squadron Pilot — TIE Advanced 21
Accuracy Corrector 0
TIE/x1 0
Tempest Squadron Pilot — TIE Advanced 21
Accuracy Corrector 0
TIE/x1 0
Tempest Squadron Pilot — TIE Advanced 21
Accuracy Corrector 0
TIE/x1 0
You need 5 hits to one shot anything in the list (6 for Vader) and a couple of turns of shooting will shred a rebel pancake.
Vader really needs the EU for movement...
I think, just for my two cents here of course, Advanced targeting computer for the high pilot skill Advances, accuracy corrector for the low PS advances, with FCS, Advanced Sensors and sensor jammer being somewhat situational but workable.
A lot of fun possibility to learn of with the new advanced soon however, I'm excited.
My Vader practically 1 shotted a decimator with ATC..... well sort of. The one crit dealt was Damaged Engine, which made it sail off the edge of the map 3 turns later.
Aside from that though, Vader + ATC + predator + EU is quite good and deadly.
