I just started playing X Wing this month, and am trying to find a cool Aces-style list that suits my play style. I've done the standard Soontir/Carnor/Turr build, as well as a few minor variations of it, and I've decided that I really love the way both Phantoms (specifically Echo) and Interceptors fly. However, running just those ships tends to leave me pretty vulnerable in terms of total hp for the fleet, so I wanted something with a little more durability in there as well. With that in mind, I've come up with the following list:
"Echo" - VI, FCS, Intelligence Agent, and Stygium Particle Accelerator
Juno Eclipse - Predator, TIE/x1, and Advanced Targeting Computer
Soontir Fel - PTL and Autothrusters
It definitely makes sacrifices on both Echo and Soontir (downgrading ACD to SPA, no Stealth Device on Soontir) but Juno provides some solid damage potential and is one of the only Advanced pilots able to keep up with the other two without needing an Engine Upgrade.
Some alterations to the build that I'm considering include:
- Change Juno's Predator to VI, upgrade Echo's SPA to ACD
- Change Juno to Darth Vader, lose Echo's Intelligence Agent
- Drop Juno's Predator to give Soontir a Stealth Device
Thoughts, questions, comments, concerns?
