Oicunn, dauntless and saboteur. 50% chance to turn Oicunn's hits into crits for a stress. Obviously plenty of room for other tinkering, I'd personally always go with Mara Jade on Oicunn. Even with her it's only running at 50 points.

Might this finally be a reasonable use for saboteur or am I flogging a dead horse with this one?

I am currently messing with this build.

I've only flown it once, casually, but I like how it perfomed. Pretty much ram away and follow up with the HLC.

Saboteur is pretty bad.

It is limited to range one.

The target needs to have a facedown damage card.

It costs an action.

It only has a 50% chance to work.

Even if it works there's a decent chance to pull a crit that doesn't really matter.

Oicunn kind of takes care of the first two knocks against Saboteur because if he's ramming, he's definitely in range one and once he's through shields there's a damage card to flip. The rest of the problems with Saboteur are still there. Your action is almost always going to be better spent by taking a Target Lock. Even if the ship you rammed is the only ship in range and lower PS than Oicunn taking the TL will let you TL + Focus your shot the following round.

Yeah, I see your point. But I'm trialling a list where Oicunn has predator and is alongside a shuttle with a fleet officer. So he is getting rerolls and focus without an action. Engine is pointless if he's ramming, so his action is often going begging.

Sounds like an interesting list. Would you be so nice to fill in the whole details?
