Vessery suggestions needed

By Droidlover, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking to run this build, but not sure what ept or modification to put on Vessery. What suggested combos do you have for 5 points?

95 Points

Colonel Vessery TIE Defender

Dark Curse TIE Fighter

Targeting Computer

Academy Pilot #1 TIE Fighter

Targeting Computer

Academy Pilot #2 TIE Fighter

Targeting Computer

Academy Pilot #3 TIE Fighter

Engine Upgrade.

Engine Upgrade.

Then either VI or Calculation (depending on how much Dash you expect to see). The Engine combines beautifully with the white K and actually lets you turn the ship after clearing a stress. It's rather invaluable if you can afford it.

I like to bring at a minimum 2 ships with Vessery that can target lock to give you a bit more options. I think 4 ships maybe pushing it a little.

You could drop 2 TC and bump up to Backstabber. Nightbeast actually makes a great Tie for a TC. You can perform a green maneuver to get a focus, then TL.

Change dark curse to howlrunner with swarm tactics

Don't pay 8 points to use Vessery's ability.

Take Vader and a tempest with tiex1 and atc with Vessery
