Hi there,

i'm actually seriously thinking about using my Tie Bombers for an small local Tournament. I assume i'll face a lot of big ships (60min/round), therefore i hope 4x Cluster Missiles should be enough to kill or at least seriously damage something big in the first contact. Proximity Mines should do the rest.

The flechette torps with failsafe could help to reduce the threat of other smaller stuff on the board, f.e. phantoms.

Any Suggestions here?

Maybe drop Determination for Deadeye on Jonus? With only PS6, a lot of the stuff you're going to want him to torp with flechettes may not even be in range to lock onto.

i have a similar list:

jonus+vi+shield+seismic+homing

scimitar+assault+seismic

scimitar+concussion+seismic

scimitar+proton+seismic

its a lot of fun. I use thevaried ordinance because you never know what youll get at a tourney. The list is also flexible enough to switch out ordinance.

Id also suggest reading this

do you want to do all bombers or just mostly bombers?

because

Soontir (PTL, Royal Guard Tie, Stealth Device, Thrusters)

Jonus (failsafe, flechette)

Scimitar (cluster)

Scimitar (cluster)

could be an interesting list

Thanks for the ideas, i've changed determination to deadeye and removed two clusters for assault missile and an ion pulse for now to get some more flexibility.
