Hello :)

ive playd around with your first list but with a lil differance,

Kath: mangler, vi, Eu, tactician.

Fel: ptl, auto, royal, Sd.

Backstabber.

had 1 win and 1 loss..

i had fun but i dont think its realy that good, it might just be me... but i ran against a list of b wings with hlc.. and lets just say kath didnt like it.

Third list... I'd consider switching Intel Agent on Echo for Recon Specialist and drooping the stealth Device on Backstabber. In fact, I'd swap Backstabber for Dark Curse! ;)

Yeah I don't think the third list is optimal as is.

I prefer:

Whisper w/ VI, FCS, gunner & ACD = 44

Echo w/ VI, FCS, recon spec & ACD = 40

Dark Curse = 16

This way, both whisper and echo are tankier and deal more consistent damage. Also, Backstabber with stealth device is an easy 19 points for your opponent to get an early lead--since he can't arc-dodge and against focussed fire, those greens will fail....just a matter of time! But Dark Curse is harder to kill (likely take longer) and your opponent may even ignore him (makes it more likely you can get 100-0 result).

But, ymmv...

Third list... I'd consider switching Intel Agent on Echo for Recon Specialist and drooping the stealth Device on Backstabber. In fact, I'd swap Backstabber for Dark Curse! ;)

Why would you rather have a two attack ship that is going to be ignored rather than ship that will either be a 3 attack ship that gets ignored or a 16 point ship that gets targeted before your more expensive ships?

Thought about that and it seems that a lot of people like to put gunner on whisper for more consistent damage.

Here is my idea behind it....... I should probably switch out intel for recon on Echo. But I do like the captive on whisper. Yeah the damage might be consistent but then you are locking that ship that fired into making a green maneuver. Depending on the ship that makes if fairly predicable which will allow you to plan to get better positioning not just with whisper but also with Echo.

I could drop SD off of backstabber but I would take him over Dark Curse in this list simply for the damage out put. With 2 phantoms on the board more often than not your opponent will look to bring all ships to bear on them to try and take them down quickly. This usually opens up backstabber to do what he does best making you pay for letting him attack out of arc.

These does seem to work better in the Meta in my area not sure how it would fair else where I'll post a revised list of Hide and Seek a little later
