Decimator Firespray Lambda

One of the builds posted on page 1 is probably the best one.

Patrol Leader + Rebel Captive

Bounty Hunter

Omicron + Darth Vader

I'd say for any low PS big ship build, Rebel Captive is almost necessary to beat Phantoms, and Vader is pretty important to beat Interceptors. Other squads would rely on you outplaying the opponent and using that bulk to clog the board and survive lots of incoming fire.

That being said, you could run...

Patrol Leader + Tactician

Bounty Hunter + Tactician

Omicron + Tactician

That'd be a cool squad. Patrol leader doesn't get the MOST use out of Tactician, but you'd have a blast trying. Maybe could put in Oicunn instead.

Overall, though, I think I'll give that archetype a try.

Last night I ran a squad against my brothers BBE.

It went well! I didn't lost a ship, though the BH was down to 2 hull.
The Decimator and Fire show out whilst the Lambda hanged back to cover anything that zipped past.
Ben's dice failed him quite a bit and mine were strong, especially the few green dice I did have!
But I think I flew them decently,not getting the Fire blind sided and keeping the Lambda in good positions.
Tonight I'll be playing a few games against different people so we'll see how it goes!

Think this could be a nice version of the list as well:

Bounty Hunter (33)
Recon Specialist (3)
Patrol Leader (40)
Rebel Captive (3)
Tempest Squadron Pilot (21)
Accuracy Corrector (0)
TIE/x1 (0)
Total: 100

I am wondering about the pilot for the Decimator. Knocking it down could give him Rebel Captive as people have said. Or Ruthlessness for swarms.

Not sure I lose by losing the ability to ram ships.
