Opportunity to jam.

By WWHSD, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was thinking that Opportunist and Sensor Jammer would make a nice combo. I was trying to find a good place to try to use them together with Imperial ships thinking that I'd have a bait ship with Sensor Jammer and other ships with Opportunist.


The ships that carry Opportunist need to be good a dealing stress and less of a priority target than the bait ship. The bait ship needs to be durable enough to let opponents take a few shots. I couldn't find a combination of ships that would meet my requirements. Either the bait ship is a low enough priority target (Shuttle) or not really durable enough (Phantom).


I realized that the IG-2000 would probably meet my needs. Both ships can carry Opportunist and Sensor Jammers and not worry about which ship your opponent is trying to kill.

I'm considering switching out Sensor Jammer to FCS and the Mangler to an HLC on B and giving C PTL instead. This would make one of the ships a designated target and the other the hard hitter. I think it would be difficult to get people to attack the more defensive of the two IG-2000s.

38pts to use both on a Blackmoon. 40 for Etahn.

Carnor Jax would be a good guy to fly with some people with Sensor Jammers.
