And I still haven't decided what to fly. My main lists aren't that competitive in the wave 5 meta game (or at least, as I percieve it!) and I've made too many rants about net-decking and taking any sort of list involving the Falcon, so I've come up with:

Royal Guard Tie, ptl, tc

Vessary

Echo, acd, vi

The other options are a three amigos variant, echo as above with Phennir plus ptl and two alphas, or wedge plus predator and r2, garvin plus r2, green sqn pilot plus outmanoeuvre and ptl, prototype pilot.

I love my Phennir list and my Xaxa but I just don't think either have enough guns or staying power against large ships. Any thoughts?

I like the Echo/Turr/2Alpha list just because 4x3+ dice guns is a lot of firepower. It's not tough, but it's tougher than the first list, for what it's worth.

I'd peel the TC off, in favor of getting Vessery an EPT.

Nevermind, the TC is to enable Vessery.
