Can't wait for Vader + VI paired with Echo+ Decoy

Darth Vader — TIE Advanced 29

Sensor Jammer 0

TIE/x1 0

"Echo" — TIE Phantom 30

Decoy 2

Fire-Control System 2

Advanced Cloaking Device 4

Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor 27

Push the Limit 3

Autothrusters 2

EDIT: added list

Vader + Accuracy corrector = 2 hits every time and 100% of the time

2 hit results that can be evaded by your opponents agility dice and/or tokens. Accuracy Corrector should have its uses but I think Vader will be stronger with Advanced Targeting Computer.

Because no one can place a Proton Rocket better than him.

I protest.... Signed Col. Celchu....

ever since rebel aces, proc rocket vader was always kind of a sh*tty jake farrel. Fortunately, now he has his chance to distinguish himself ^_^

Vader

Tie/x1 title

ATC

Ruthlessness or Predator

EU optional

Ruthlessness is a terrible ept. Friendly fire isn't. Shooting your own blockers is not reckless, it is dumb which Vader is not.

Predator is vastly superior on a Tie Advanced, because it has only two red dice to roll.

EU on Vader is anything but optional. Only with EU you can make the most of Vader two actions, making him the ultimate arc dodger.

It's not optional if you want to fly him as the ultimate arc dodger.

Vader, Decoy, ATC, Title, EU

2 x Sigma, ACD, FCS, Intelligence Agent

Or, if you prefer, 2 X Shadow, SPA, FCS, IA

Vader pushes the Sigma most in danger to shoot first.

Vader is also a calculating bastard, if you ask me.

Which was what I was trying to express.

I'm going Vader w/ 3 generic Tie Advanced for the win.

EDIT: added list

If you're putting a Sensor Jammer on Vader it almost seems like you'd want Carnor instead of Soontir.

That being said, I don't think I'd take anything but ATC on Vader. I'm probably going to staple the title and a copy of ATC to my Vader card.

He has the 2 shields for a reason, make him use it

When the reaider comes out i will joust with vader while whisper and fel flanks. Or at least use vader as bait. He can take one round of attacks before disengaging, so things should turn out fine, i hope.

Well, he's no Juno Eclipse, but he might be worth flying all the same.

you and juno need to get a room already :P

She would be the BEST roommate. We could hang our pictures of starfighters on the walls, and share clothes and paint each other's miniatures. It would go over really, really well. I mean, I'd just have to caution her not to bring her psychopathic light-saber-wielding boyfriend to the house, but otherwise, it'd be great.

Nah,

Jake Farrell - PTL, VI, AutoThrusters, Proton Rockets, Awing Test Pilot 33 Points

I'd rather have Jake than this Vader:

Darth Vader - Predator, Proton Rockets, Engine Upgrade 39 points

Jake's got a better dial and he's 6 points cheaper. Vader may be a little more durable, but Jake is just a bit faster and a bit more manueverable. If they were the same cost, then Vader's durability may give him an edge, but 6 points is nothing to sneeze at.

You're going to be SO MAD when Juno isn't in the raider.

I like totally saw pictures proving she's in the raider. So there.

You saw what you wanted to see in some blurry photos with text overlays.

Time will tell. Until then, I get to be happy thinking about Juno Eclipse pilot cards.
