I'm torn. I definitely see the value of Stralth on Soontir, but the Vader crew will destroy him. I like The way you have built Kath, with Predator instead of Lone Wolf. I think her base is too big for Lone Wolf when Soontir is zipping around. I've just recently had trouble with Firesprays becAuse TIE phantoms and interceptors can flank her so easily. I'm assuming the Black Sq. Pilot has Ruthlessness to help with swarms.
I see where you're going with your ships able to cover eachother's weaknesses. Kath can get outflanked by phantoms, but Fel can hunt them pretty well. Vader crew will tear Fel and BSP apart, but Kath can tank that kind of abuse. Against swarms, Soontir can dominate, but may get blocked, while Kath just doesn't have the damage outpu to tear through them; Black Sq. with Ruthlessness may help here, but it's hard to say how much.
I suppose it's worth a try, but it doesn't all click for me. For example, against a phantom Decimator squad, Ruthlessness doesn't get you far. Fel has to stay far from the DeciVader, and try to take out "Whisper" early. Once she's gone, it's Kath vs. a turret with a free evade. Her Crits will help, but it sounds to me like a tough fight.
Now maybe this is just my play style, but Stealth Fel doesn't do it for me. And maybe it's just my inordinate fondness for shuttles, but I prefer not to run Firesprays anymore. I would love to hear how you do. If you're comfortable with those ships, give it a try. I think you have put some good thought into it.
Edited by ParakitorThanks for your feedback. Black Squad is there for the Swarms. I do ok with the firespray but in the few games I've played I have missed engine. I could go with obsidian and give Kath Engine. Soontir has been good for me it's either stealth or hull on him I think.
Stealth is probably better than Hull on Soontir. And I really like Engine on Kath. With Engine, I'd be more comfortable with Lone Wolf. But it makes me want to reconsider your crew, and pick up something less action dependent...but it's tough to beat Recon Spcialist. It's not like you'll boost every round.
I like handing out stress with the Manglor even if I don't hit. Gunner would be useful against double aggressor builds but I have no idea what the local meta will be since scum hit.
