Comfortably Numb

Posted this as a response in another thread but wanted to get a general consensus on Comfortably Numb

its definitely an interceptor/phantom killer. However, i was also thinking it could hold its own against tankier lists. Leebo has a ton of damage mitigation. thoughts?

Ten looks like the build I had on him last weekend. I put torpedoes on him too plus Fire System Control.

I also thought about putting Engine Upgrade on him too, give him Boost Action

The list looks pretty good, nice build on ten, always doing at least 1 crit, if he hits.

I'd drop counter measures for engine upgrade, dropping the Tala to a bandit.

3 points for. 1 off agi increase seems a bit steep to me.

You might wanna try a Ten Numb list with Wes Janson to make him even more kill-y.

Deagles- your list looks real fun to play. Im scared to put too much into Ten in competitive play. I think he will make for an easy, albeit fierce, first target with so many points.

spike-i really like the wes ten combo but havent had much success in tournaments with xwings

stronghammer-Ive considered switching out counter measures for the boost. im really on the fence about it. the boost wont help much against turrets but against nimble ships it will. counter measures really saved my ass last weekend. N'dru with LW came in with cluster missiles. I dropped counter measures and then he only got his normal attack due to the loss of TL after being hit by Ten. He landed a couple of hits on the shields then Leebo finished him off. But thinking again...how many people really bring ordinance to competitive settings anyway...i think i might jsut switch it out

For me, it's then one off that's the killer, whilst if he is the only ship left and everyone is shooting you would be the best time, you might not even use it or just use it because it's there, thus a wasted 3 points.

Even on a lower Ps ship, with the engine and BRoll options, you can move quite a lot.

All the best.
