I've ben toying with making a 100 point list with one interceptor, one advanced (newly-spoiled ones are allowed) and one Phantom but I'm just not sure there are enough points to allow all three to shine.
How would you make a list featuring all three of these ships? Can you make it work at 100 points?

This is my best effort so far. I wish I could fit Vader or Juno in though. And Autothrusters on Strom would help with getting close to turrets.
The idea is that if Jax and Strom get in close, they cripple the enemy's offence and defence, while also hitting hard. Meanwhile, Whisper can mop up from around the edges.

Still room to mess with things here, like if one wants to change the PS of the phantom or swap the targeting computer with a stealth or hull upgrade, as the list is sitting at 99 points. I think with the right setup this list can do well, depending on whether people go for an easy kill on a low ps phantom or try taking out vader with a big gun 1st, the RGP doesn't look as scary as the other two, which hopefully allows for him to get better shots off. Not the most orthodox list but I kinda want to try it
Jax wants to be at R1, and that is where he dies the most.
So why not give him backup?

Zertik gives him cover by being annoying and up close.
Whisper hangs back and snipes.
Carnor does his dance.
Edited by KeffischI think going with a low PS Phantom with a blocker setup could be very good for Vader and Soontir.
Soontir Fel + PTL + AT + TC + Title
Darth Vader + Predator + Engine Upgrade + ATC + Title
Sigma Squadron + Stygium Particle + Intel Agent + Enhanced Scopes
100 pts
Don't need much of an Init bid with that Sigma blocking the enemy Soontir! Haha.
I do the same thing with Fel + Whisper + Sigma and it works very well. Maybe you could go with Juno, but Vader just feels superior.
