Has anyone ever tried running all 3 large ships in a 100 point game?
I'm curious how that would pan out.
Their lowest PS pilots totals 94 points. So there is a little wiggle room.
36 hit points, a turret and a rear arc.
Say you did go for it. Would what you use the 6 points for? Higher PS? Crew? Upgrades?
That is only enough for 1 Engine upgrade. The firespray could go without one but the shuttle and decimator both need them.

I haven't got a Falcon so I couldn't use that card anyway. Imperial only for me.
Edited by SDCCI don't think every decimator build needs EU but without it the shuttle will have a tough time turning around and waste quite a few turns trying to get a bead on something.
I have run this to some success, I put Recon Spec on the BH and Vader on the Shuttle. The decimator doesn't really need anything his just a nuisance. The only thing id really change is Vader on the Shuttle so your lambda lives a little longer.
If a ship made way it would be the shuttle. But there isn't much that would fit in that gap points wise.
Perhaps....
The recon specialist goes on the bounty hunter.

I was in a small tournamnet the other week and these were the results and builds:
The Lambda, Decimator, Firespray build won all 4 of its games VS 2, 3, 4, 5
I was in a small tournamnet the other week and these were the results and builds:
- Patrol Leader + Shuttle + Firespray (RC on Patrol, Vader on Shuttle)
- Ibtisam + Jake Farrell + Corran
- Leebo + Chewie (Determination Leebo + C3P0 Chewie)
- Chiraneau + Whisper (VI build)
- Chiraneau + Whisper (Expose + EI build)
- Han + Wild Space Fringer (HSF + Outrider HLC)
The Lambda, Decimator, Firespray build won all 4 of its games VS 2, 3, 4, 5
They liked their large ships didn't they?
That looks promising though, thank you for sharing.
I ran it the other night and it did well. Used the shuttle for bait and the Firespray's rear arc and the Decimator to clean up after over running the opponent's ships.
I used the PS 3 pilots on the Firespray and Decimator and the PS 2 pilot on the shuttle. The Firesprary and the Decimator both had hull upgrades. The only ship lost was the shuttle. The combined shield and hull of 38 points is a bear to cleave through in 70 min.
I have a list consisting of this.
Oicunn - Determination
Bounty Hunter
Omicron Group - Vader
Its a good list and is solid against pretty much everything. I ran it in a tournament last weekend and went 3-3. That being said 2 of those losses were to dual phantom lists. In the first game I killed whisper and couldn't get echo, in the second I killed echo and got 3 points of damage on whisper, one shy. Its hard for people to manage since you have so many hit points and can trade off tanking duties when one ship starts to get beat down. In the three wins I had a 100-0 win, lost Omicron in one and lost Oicunn in the other.
What about Oicunn+intimidation, and two Omicron Group Pilot+Heavy Laser Canon?

The winner of the tournamnet lost the shuttle every game and the firespray 2 games, the decimator survived every match (1 game with 1hp)
I've been planning on using a Patrol Leader/Omicron/Bounty Hunter list next time I play.
I plan to use an EU on the Omicron and was thinking about giving it a FCS with my remaining 2 points. That or swap the Patrol Leader w/ Oicun.
I think a lot of people would leave the Lambda for last. With EU on there it allows it to get a lot more attacks in
My brother has a Falcon so I could possibly borrow EU.
That would give the Lambda more options as he's the only front arc ship in the squad and hardly the most manoeuvrable
I'd be tempted to fly the Bounty Hunter out and quickly K-Turn him, get the rear arc working as he comes back towards the turret, maybe with the shuttle moving up slowly behind. Covers a lot of the board.
I tried Deci + 2 shuttles, but it didn't work for me. Been doing deci + phantom lately, but I am concerned about that as a single throw of bad dice can kill a phantom. I'll give this a whirl soon.
I am thinking
Oicunn, RC, Determination
Bounty Hunter
OGP
Am I missing something? Why would you put recon specialist on the Decimator?
I've seen Ruthlessness be used to good effect. Very nice on a swarm.
Think I might try that.

The only Decimator I could see reasonably using RS would be Kenkirk, and even there the Firespray gets way more use out of it. Maybe a Gunner Decimator using RS would try to have Focus for both attacks? But it's still a waste of points compared to moving the RS over to the Firespray.
A DFL list? Definitely needs a Hillary crew! 
On topic, maybe...
Lambda+Vader: 24
Bounty Hunter: 33
Decimator+Fleet Officer: 43
100pts.

I've been running Oicunn w/Determination, Gunner, Rebel Captive, and Anti-Pursuit Lasers with 2 Omicron Group Pilot with FCS. It is very fun to play.
Sounds like a lot of hp to chew through. I can see it being a real challenge in 60 point matches. With margin of victory being a thing, i am curious to see it in action.
You don't need EU. If it were me, I'd probably put tactical jammer on each of them. That leaves 1 point for something. Maybe the moff on Deci?

Been running 1. for some time now and unbeaten after about 8 matches. Everybody goes after the shuttle and it does what it needs to do with Vader and dies every game.
Use the patrol leader to get behind the enemy and let him chase it.
The Bounty Hunter doing strafing runs [still loves that evade when damaged] seems to be the second juciest target for most.
Overall incredible durable. You shoot me whatever!
I had a list with all three, each with tactical jammers.
