Yeah, that could work, except for 40 pts you can get a decently kitted Whisper or a fully decked Vader (when raider hits). Unfortunately for the delta, both are more effective offensively, a bit harder to kill and are PS9

I am especially looking forward to running this:

Vader w/ lone wolf, title, ATC, engine & proton rockets

2 royal guards w/ ptl, title, AT & stealth (or hull if you prefer)

I like it! Get it out on the mats and tell us how it does!

Personally, I miss a high PS ship against Dash and IGs.

I have thought about the following:

Rexler Brath (37)
Lone Wolf (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

Royal Guard Pilot (22)
Push the Limit (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Royal Guard TIE (0)

The royal guards are a bit more fragile but Rexler can hit like a brick.

?

Flavor, possibly.

Possibly becausr I was playing around with different combos and left them but why not?

Like putting Slave 1 on Boba even tho you don't use the upgrade
