Theory Crafting - Stress busters..

By Papamambo, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I was farting around with a builder and came up with this list. Not sure how viable it is, but I may give it a try.

LAMBDA-CLASS SHUTTLE: · Captain Yorr (24)

Flechette Cannon (2)

Fire Control System (2)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Tactician (2)

Tactician (2)

TIE INTERCEPTOR: · Carnor Jax (26)

Push The Limit (3)

· Experimental Interface (3)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

Autothrusters (2)

TIE INTERCEPTOR: Royal Guard Pilot (22)

Push The Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

Stealth Device (3)

Now, I'm not sure if it might be better to swap out one of the Tacticians for Rebel Captive, (I know I need to find a point somewhere else) As it stands, being able to dole out 3 stress at range 2 is nuts. And being able to reach out to range 2 to draw stress from Carnor gives him the ability to perform 3 actions per round..

Pick it apart please..

First nitpick: Experimental Interface does nothing on Carnor Jax, he has no upgrade cards that can be used with it (Read it again, it isn't identical to PTL).

D'oh! Forgot about that. Oh well. Suppose I could drop the Autothrusters on him and change it out for a Targeting Computer. .

you could

you also shouldn't

you shouldn't even think about it

auto-thrusters is the single best modification by far for any ship that can take it, and it is also the only thing making interceptors reliably competitive against hateful turrets

also, no one likes jax and will try to shoot the hell out of him. Dude's even painted like a bullseye.

thrusters help

(oh forgot, EI doesn't work with TC. EI specifies upgrades with the action: header like expert handling or marksmanship)

True. I've rediscovered my love for Squints now that Autoceptors are a thing. But 3 actions would be nice. Vader with 3 would be ok I suppose, but he just doesn't have the same punch..
