So I have a tournament tomorrow. I'm taking a Rear Admiral Whisper List. Here's what I got...

Rear Admiral (46)

Ruthlessness (3) for swarms

Isaard (4)

Gunner(5)

Rebel Captive (3)

Whisper (32)

VI (1)

Adv. Cloak (4)

For 98 total

I'm set on this list except for one thing. Do I drop rebel captive for Fire control on whisper?

I think the Decimator covers swarms and phantoms with ruthlessness and rebel captive but do I have enough firepower on whisper? What do you guys think?

If you go with FCS on Whisper, Id throw something like seismic charges on Chiri for extra swarm protection while still keeping the initiative bid at 99 points. I think you'll do well either way though, this list is pretty tough.

Actually, FCS is the route I would go. More offence is just awesome, but I would still suggest the seismic charges.

Changed my mind and went with Expose and EI on the decimator. FCS on Whisper. Went 3-0, never lost a ship, and only took 4 damage cards all day. I'd say it went well.

How in the hell do you only take 4 damage cards in an entire day on a Decimator with no EU? You should almost be taking 4 cards a round.
