I want to fly a list of whisper w/ FSC, ACD, and VI, Echo w/ FSC, ACD, and VI, and a saber with PTL.

I think this could be really fun.

Thoughts?

Phantom Flight School (98/100)

==============================

TIE Phantom: "Whisper" (32 + 7)

+ Veteran Instincts (1)

+ Fire Control System (2)

+ Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

TIE Phantom: "Echo" (30 + 7)

+ Veteran Instincts (1)

+ Fire Control System (2)

+ Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Lambda-class Shuttle: Omicron Group Pilot (21 + 1)

+ Tactical Jammer (1)

I like that idea but Im going to call the 2 phantom list "The Ben Affleck"

Why Ben Affleck?

The movie Phantoms.

Once the advanced buff hits i'm gonna try this one out...

Whisper + VI + FCS + ACD (39)

Echo + VI + FCS + ACD + Recon (40)

Tempest + x1 + AC (21)

=100

Seems pretty solid, I ran double phantoms when they first came out but I had problems finding a good escort for them. Recon can be dropped for maybe Taction on Whisper for a bid.

I've had good success with this list - 2 named Phantoms and a Squint.

TIE PHANTOM: · "Whisper" (32)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Tactician (2)

TIE PHANTOM: · "Echo" (30)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Tactician (2)

TIE INTERCEPTOR: Saber Squadron Pilot (21)

Push The Limit (3)

So I stole is from the "2015 store championship list results" thread. This store had 3 of the top 4 end up being dual phantoms. Personally I'm really surprised that these lists did so well. In my old meta(Ohio) and my new meta(Las Vegas), Rebel captive is a popular choice on Decimators. I've always wanted to run dual phantoms, but I feel like Rebel captive would be an automatic loss for them.

I believe XWingTOMan has the cryodex for the Independence, MO (Kansas City) store championships yesterday, and I have video of the top table all day that I'll be editing and posting later this week. We had 34 players at the start, and top 4 was:

Winner

Whisper with VI, Gunner, ACD, Fire Control

Echo with VI, Recon Specialist, Sensor Jammer, ACD

Academy Tie

Second

Chewie with Luke, Predator, 3PO, Falcon

Eaden Vrill with Heavy Laser Cannon, Anti-Pursuit Lasers, Recon Specialist (I am not 100% on these last two upgrades, I know for sure it was HLC without the title though)

Top 4

Whisper with VI, Gunner, ACD, Fire Control

Echo with VI, Recon Specialist, Sensor Jammer, ACD

Top 4

Whisper with VI, Gunner, ACD, Fire Control

Echo with VI, Recon Specialist, Sensor Jammer, ACD

Curious that dual phantoms did so well. And also the top 4 lists are only 87 points, maybe it is a meta thing to deny the opponent a ship to kill since that list caps around 85 ish points and and the only option you get is an academy pilot then, which doesn't help incredibly.

The way it goes here is that our tables are dominated with ps9 so the echo is pretty much a non-factor in the meta.

I've had success with this build. It's a little unconventional

Patrol Leader (40 pts)

x2 Sigma Squadron Pilot w/ Recon Spec. and Stygium Particle Accelerator (30 pts)

Basically I use the cloak action to keep the phantoms at range 3 of the main engagement and have them lob shots in (much like using HLC B-wings). When they de-cloak and focus they've got two evade dice, an evade token and 2 focus so they are surprisingly hard to hit.

The decimator's job is to block and pin ships down so the phantoms can rip em' up.

I've found this list to be very tactically rich as a player since I'm having to de-cloak before most other ships move.
