I've got Fett with Rec. Spec., VI and Engine Upgrade (he's meant to be the Phantom counter), and I've got Fell with PTL, Stealth Device and Autothrusters (if Scum doesn't arrive before the tourney then it'll be Fett and Whisper).

So I've got 18pt to play with. Currently I've been filling it with an Alpha Squadron Pilot, with no upgrades, and I've been getting crushed (although a lot of that is down to the fact that I haven't flown Interceptora in months and I've been making awful, awful mistakes, a lot).

I want to fly a Firspray and an Autoceptor, so no changes there, but everything else is flexible. Crazy ideas encouraged. I could wuss out and be boring with Whisper (which I will if I'm not getting the hang of the Autoceptors by the time of the tourney in a fortnight), but ideally I want something more fun and challenging.

I really want to run a three Autoceptors squad as well - Soontir, Carnor (with VI) and the free boost/barrel roll after attacking one, should be super fun, but I've got my heart set on making the Firespray + Autoceptor work first.

Boba VI

Soontir PTL AT Stealth

Academy Pilots x2

99 points

Dark Curse and Stealth Device?

Dark Curse and Stealth Device?

Isn't that 19pts?

Backstabber with Targeting Computer? It's sorta like an Alpha but you trade Boost and Greens for +PS5 and Target Lock.

Can I recommend you try Black Sq with DTF next to Boba? I love it. Or wingman.

Then the last 2 or 3 points are just whatever... Flechette Torp or Prox mine for Phantoms. OR if you think your Soontir control is really good just keep 2 pt initiative bid.

Hell, you could even put an extra hull on the Black for kicks!

And when I mean try this... i mean that I find that Black DTF is the MOST USEFUL UPGRADE EVER FOR DECIMATORS. So, it might be very very cool for you to try with the Firespray. Since the 2 green dice will cancel hits also, that means that damage that goes through has a higher % chance of being crits when playing with a Firespray.

Isn't that 19pts?

I was thinking of Night Beast. Night Beast + Stealth Device.

Thanks guys, I'll certainly try some of these ideas out! I take it you're all in agreement that the Alpha without SD or AT is a bad choice, and I would indeed be better with one of the suggestions above?

I do like the look of that, but do you think losing Rec. Spec. and Engine Upgrade diminishes Fett too much? Engine Upgrade almost seems essential to me for Phantom arc dodging (and even getting them in my arcs). That said, I suppose having both is a bit wasteful, without PTL. If I kept one, I think it would be Engine Upgrade...

That makes more sense math-wise. Although you've found me a potential 19pt plug-in for my Empire lists when I need one.
