How hilarious would this be? No range bonuses, no focus or evade and no target locks where you want them! Probably not super competitive but should be fun to play. I might run this at a tournament tomorrow.

If I were facing that list, I would burn down Kagi first. That is a lot of points invested in such a lumbering ship.

Which is why kagi really needs sensor jammer.

Sablegryphon posted a list almost exactly the same but a bit more annoying in the 'best' palpatine list thread (can't link atm).

It was:

Kagi w/ palpatine & sensor jammer = 39

Zertik w/ VI, title, ATC and TIE mk2 = 29

Jax w/ PtL and autothrusters = 31

99

All PS 8 makes moving easier. Palpatine allows your ships to deal more damage. Sensor Jammer keeps Kagi alive (especially if Jax is r1 from the enemy, and Zertik gets in there too).

The main weakness I see is lack of engine on Zertik. He really wants to get and stay in r1, but without boost, he may have trouble maintaining that position all game. Even without his shenanigans though, Jax and Kagi w/ sensor jammer are incredibly annoying (I've had fun with them in the past). Is it super competitive? Maybe not because there are some builds it will still struggle with, but man is it fun. The looks of frustration on your opponents' faces is totally worth it. Oh and practice your evil laugh for everytime you have to remind your opponent of one or the other of your ships' abilities

Personally, I'd prefer using Palpatine as the basically-an-evade-token-for-your-entire-fleet, than for more damage.

It makes this list Super annoying.
