Imperial aces, four points to spend

By Nephlim24, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I have been working on a list, that won't be legal for awhile unfortunately, but cannot wait to fly. My problem is the last four points and where to put them.

96 points

Darth Vader (33)
TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Predator (3), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Soontir Fel (32)
TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2)

Carnor Jax (31)
TIE Interceptor (26), Push the Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Autothrusters (2)

I can give Vader an EU, which is always pretty cool, but so would a shield or hull upgrade on Fel, or passing out target locks with the Interceptors. So where do I go, or what do I cut?

Engine on Vader. Not even a hard decision.

Yup, Engine on Vader seems like the best idea.

I saw four points to spend and was thinking EU before I even opened the thread. Easy-peasy.

Where's the squad in question? Oh, there is under a nearly invisible black color. I might have said Targeting Computer on the two Interceptors but you have Vader sitting in there with no Engine Upgrade so this is really a no brainer here.

Would it be worth placing Veteran Instincts (2) on both of the Interceptors to effectively give you a 11, 10, 9 Pilot skill group?

I like moving last to position as a group and then fire first to try to collectively take out a ship.

Maybe on Jax but not on Fel. With the Barron getting VI means giving up PtL which would make Stressing out for that bonus Focus token much more difficult. While the Interceptor is good at shedding stress which is why PtL is such a popular choice to make Jax work best you'll need to be in close and he might not want the stress in there.

Good point. I might try this with Veteran Instincts (1) + Targeting Computer (2) on Jax instead of the PTL (3).
