Etahn A'Baht: R2-D2, Flechette Torpedoes, PTL, FCS

B-Wing - (56pts)

Blue Sqn Pilot: FCS, Mangler Cannon

Blue Sqn Pilot: FCS, Mangler Cannon

Hm, Flechette Torpedoes are interesting on Etahn. Then again, I don't know if those 2 points could be better spent elsewhere. He's going to be public enemy #1 in this ist, and I've always been hesitant to put munitions on whatever will be the focus of the opponent. However, a good stressful shot + some criticals could spell disaster.

This seems like a very scary list to be up against. I'm not sure how much you want to rely on Etahn's action economy, but dropping PTL for VI, and dropping the Flechette altogether would allow you to upgrade to Dagger Squadrons, which would help prevent Predator's 2-re-roll shenanigans on a 1-agility ship.

Overall, not something I'd want to fly against anytime soon without an arc dodger, and this could be hell on Earth (in space?) for turrets. I like it!

Thanks for that, it's much appreciated.

Whilst I agree that the Etahn will be the focus, I think 2 B-Wings with Mangler Cannons is something that people will maybe ignore to their peril.

I wasn't overly convinced at putting VI on Etahn, I reckon he's still not going to shooting first in a lot of scenarios, if I drop it, it gives me 2 points, any suggestions?

If you want more crits, he could Calculate.

I wonder though, if the Advanced Sensors wouldn't be more advantageous here than FCS on the B's. To give them a bit more flexibility after Etahn invariably gets focused down first.

Thanks for the reply,

Calculation might very well be the answer, I'll give it a shot. I'm not convinced about using Advanced Sensors on the B's though, as I'd effectively be giving up a free action after I shoot.

The sensors might ensure you have a shot though. .

They are more expensive though and that might be points you'd want to spend elsewhere.

For instance, 2 x Dagger, FCS, Mangler plus Etahn, R2-D2, Calculation and a Hull Upgrade to put Etahn in a Rebel Defender

Very true, it might be the only way I get a shot off!!!

Hull upgrade looks interesting.

More boys, fewer toys.

The more ships you have, the more crits you give.

I've taken Etahn w/ PtL, Adv Sensors, R2-D2, 1 B, 3 Z to the top table of a store championship. The build does suffer against phantoms in untimed games, though, which is ultimately how I lost. Etahn is very difficult to kill, but after a little over 2 hours he finally meet his demise.

I know deep down what you're saying is truer than a true thing on a true day, but part of me wants space tanks. Maybe that's why I'm pants

Can't argue with the rule of cool!
