So with the Firespray refit allowing a scum ship this could be a tactic many people see. Using two Y-Wings and a Firespray in a deadly tandem combo against imperial swarms. Example: The Y-wings use ion cannon turrets to render two TIEs virtually imoble. While the next turn the fires pray already positioned near the crippled ties upon revealing his dial places a seismic charge at his last location flying away leaving the helpless in the coming blast. This exact same maneuver can be performed but having the fires pray first place a proximity mine then having the Y-wings force the TIE into it.

So there is my idea sorry if it doesn't exactly work out or if it's been said I just thought I'd give two cents on the subject.

your idea has some merit for sure. its just that the low damage output of the Y-Wings makes it a bit vulverable to IG-88 lists and anything that has decent long range firepower such as decimator with gunner, pretty much any Falcon lists and that doughnut guy Dash.

Creating a deadly 'i can ionize you at range 2' bubble doesnt quite cut it when they can blast you with 4 attack dice or 3 attacks dice with gunner from range 3.

You can also use Cartel Spacers with Ion Cannons for less points. Also, they can fire further than R1-2. It probably works well with Emon, as well.

I ran something similar recently and haven't lost a game.

My current build I'm trying is this:

100 Points

I'll be running it tomorrow.

I ran the Spacer list against the following:

Vader+TieX1+ATC+EU+predator

Soontir+PTL+AT+SD

Carnor+AT

We ran out of time.

Carnor was dead. Vader had 2 hull left. Soontir had 1 hull left.

I had 1 spacer left with 1 hull so not a bad result considering the other list was arc dodging like crazy. I only got about 6 shots off the whole game but did some pretty decent damage with it. I will fly this list again and my Kath and the Thugs list is a lot of fun too.
