been trying to come up with some good lists. here are some thoughts

soontir fel (27)

PtL (3)

stealth device (3)

total- 33

rexler brath (37)

predator (3)

ion cannon/ flechette cannon (3/2)

total-43/42

saber/royal guard (21/22)

predator (3)

(24/25)

total-100

could also put a pilot with an ability there. thoughts?

or

I'm running a list like the second one, but i swap ion for HLC and Jax for Dark Curse w/ TC. So far worked pretty good

Soontir

*PTL

*Stealth (Soon to be thrusters)

2 Delta Squadron Pilots

*Ion Cannon

(99, soon to be 98)

My personal favorite imperial list of wave 5, followed shortly by Ties and same Soontir with two bounty hunters. You could always switch it around by culling an ion delta for your favorite variation of Carnor.

The problem with the character Defenders is that Vessery's ability does not gel at all with Interceptors (they need those actions to stay alive, won't always have room for targeting computer) and Rexlar is just plain weird (and expensive!). I far prefer the generics, and with ions they become very deadly ships.

Character defenders have their place (Vessery is downright boss when used correctly), but you have to dig one out for them in the squad building process.

I give rexlar PtL so I can TL to boost my accuracy somewhat and when I'm using ion cannon especially on low agility ships the focus is less necessary since I am doing 2 damage max anyway

thoughts?

soontir fel (27)

PtL (3)

stealth device (3)

total- 33

colonel vessery (35)

VI (1)

ion cannon (3)

carnor jax (26)

total (100)

i'd drop the stealth device from Soontir Fel and give Carnor Jax a PtL upgrade or you are likely to lose carnor outright game after game

it seems to make soontir alive better though. would it work better to take a different pilot?

you're flying interceptors, man. You can worry about living after you're dead.

(With a name like that, though, shouldn't take long )

I'm currently experimenting with defender and interceptor lists, and am enjoying rexler with hlc and predator combined with jax and outmanuever. I'm still in the air on what to run with that but I'm playing with the idea of a doom shuttle. Rexler in this configuration puts out so much damage and jax is agile and obnoxious, it's a pretty decent tag team.

How about

Rexler with Ion Cannon

Fel with Push the Limit

Alpha Squad Pilot

Academy Pilot

They could pair off and make for two nasty little groups?
