Boba Fett, Ghost Hunter

Since I had some success with Whisper and Chiraneau, I'm thinking about doing something new and fun for future events. An excellent opponent showed me just how evil a tactician, or two of them, can be to phantoms in two of the most tense matches I've played. I'm not sure if it has enough punch, but thinking about this:
100 points
Pilots
------
Boba Fett (49)
Firespray-31 (39), Proximity Mines (3), Veteran Instincts (1), Tactician (2), Engine Upgrade (4)
Black Squadron Pilot (17) x 3
TIE Fighter (14), Outmaneuver (3)
------
The idea is that Boba should be able to get some shots at a phantom before it cloaks, and if I get a range 2 shot, stop it from cloaking. Even though he'll move last, Boba might just be maneuverable enough to potentially hit with the mines, or at least make people break up formations if I get in close. The ties will either come in a block and hopefully deter my opponent from chasing Boba, or spread out and try to box them in, depending on the initial deployment. What do you all think?

I think it will do well if your only facing phantom lists but tournament wise will struggle against a variety of other builds with higher hp (bwings, falcons, outriders, deci,etc)

So what pairs well with a Firespray? I haven't used them in a while. I guess a doom shuttle and a speedy shuttle with Mara and FCS would be fun if I drop the mines.

I recently placed 2nd in our store tournament running:

Boba Fett - Veteran Instincts + Ion Cannon + Mara Jade + Engine Upgrade

Rexler Brath - Lone Wolf + Heavy Laser Cannon + Engine Upgrade

I had 3 turns the whole night where Rexler was inside range 2 of Boba, and as a result, Lone Wolf made him a TOUGH ship to crack.

The Engine Upgrades on both ships really helped keep them alive and mitigate the Defender's red on its dial.

That sounds fun, so maybe I'll try this. The proton bomb is there for hilarity's sake.

Proton Bombs are the best. :)
