Whisper + Recon Spec + FCS + VI + ACD
Fel + Royal Guard Tie (Stealth Device, Hull Upgrade) + PTL
Mauler Mithel + VI
99 points
All ships are PS9. Whisper with Recon Specialist to basically spam Focus tokens and spend one for attacks and have 2 for defense. 4 attack dice.
Fel with the usual PTL, SD and HU to increase survivability. Maybe swap SD for Shield Upgrade for 100pts total. 4 attack dice at Range 1.
Mithel with HU again for survivability. 4 attack dice at Range 1.
99 points for a shot at initiative.
All are PS9 so I can see where my opponents land and can barrel roll/boost/decloak as appropriate and with all of them at PS9, I can choose any order of activation. They also all shoot at the same time so if I play it right, that's 1-2 small ships gone in one shooting phase.
So far, I've been having lots of fun flying this list and my defeats have been because of poor positioning or generally being unaware of the opponent's capabilities. I've played this list a few times now and I don't know if I'm just getting a bit more stupid (it happens!) but I can't seem to find a gaping weakness with it. I've taken down Falcons, Outriders, and even Shuttles with it and so far, Fel seems to survive most of my fights. I lose Whisper sometimes due to bad rolls; she can really only take so many attacks before the green dice start to betray her. Mithel usually dies when the opponent decides to take down the weakest ship first or if he ends up in the crosshairs of lucky attack rolls.
Today, I lost against a 2x Tie-D list with HLC on one and Lone Wolf on the other, plus a few other upgrades, but that was because I underestimated their white-K turn. I pressed the attack when I should've done hit-and-run-and-reposition-and-hit-again tactics and he just K-turned all over me. If I had avoided jousting, I could've had a better time but I wasn't thinking/concentrating very much since I had an Imperial Assault game coming up.
Please tell me what my build is weak against. I can't fix something if I don't know it's broken (or how it's broken).
Thanks for your time and advice!
