Alabaster Stress Patrol

By nigeltastic, in X-Wing Squad Lists

2x Omnicron Group Pilot (21)

-- Accuracy corrector (3)

-- Gunner (5)

-- Tactician (2)

Echo (30)

-- Advanced cloaking device (4)

-- Veteran's instincts (1)

-- Fire control systems (2)

The goal is pretty simple, fly incredibly slowly with the shuttles and when something is in range 2 use the accuracy corrector to modify your attack to 0 hits, trigger gunner, shoot again and score at least 2 hits with the full accuracy corrector. This leaves either 1 target with 2 stress or 2 targets with 1 stress.

To protect the shuttles from flankers, echo plays back and protects their slow moving butts, as well as cleaning up anyone wallowing in the stress pit. If someone jumps into range 1, you still have essentially a pair of buzz saw shuttles to deal out damage.

The other build I have for this puts engine on the void bovines and uses soontir fel with push the limit.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

IMHO, the combo Accuracy Corrector + gunner, as is explained here, is one the oddest combos. As I employ a sistem to shoot better, i.miss. I inflict damage and roll again.

Where are my Magic Card Holders?

I'd go with the second build, but replace Fel with Turr with VI+Autothrusters (Interceptors really want autothrusters), and 2 points leftover, which you could use as an initiative bid or... something.

should be called "the moo crew"

That's a fair point, I'm just concerned about the flanker being scary enough to pull a ton of weight and protect the shuttles from being dodged and murdered.
