97 or 100?

By Deltmi, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I want to use a Soontir mini-swarm list at my next Store Championship (after Wave 6 drops), but I can't decide whether to stay at 97 or add 1 more upgrade to get me to 99/100. What say you?

97 pts

Soontir Fel

+ PTL

+ RG Title

+ SD

+ AutoThrusters

Howlrunner

+ Swarm Tactics

Alpha Interceptor

Academy x 2

I'm debating on either giving the Alpha Autothrusters and make the list 99 pts

OR

Put a Hull upgrade on Howlrunner to make the list 100 pts.

I'd go with Autothrusters.

Add some kind of upgrade.

What you do is ultimately up to you but another option is to make some changes to your swarm ships.

True. I was tinkering with dropping the Alpha and adding a BSP with DTF. Or upgrading to Obsidian pilots. Unfortunately, I couldn't fit 4 academy ties (it came out to 101 pts).

Those are two of the things I was thinking but not actually saying. Part of me was also thinking 'how could I fit some of the other named TIE Fighters in there?" as I'm seeing 47 points to work with if I lose Swarm Tactics. Could go with Backstabber, Dark Curse, and a BSP with a 1 point EPT which would put you at 100 points.
