Suhlak + 3 TLT Y's

Now that all the new goodies have arrived, I decided to try a fully optimized Suhlak, it just so happens he works really well with TLT Y-wings. They screen incredibly well for him.

N'Dru Suhlak (17)
Lone Wolf (2)
Cluster Missiles (4)
Glitterstim (2)
Hull Upgrade (3)
Syndicate Thug (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Syndicate Thug (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Syndicate Thug (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Total: 100
The general plan is the Y's screen for Suhlak to get into a prime spot, then he can unload a fully buffed Cluster Missile at something with lots of health and low agility. So far it's worked having shredded a healthy Ten Numb, but I feel like I'm going too many rounds without him firing a shot. I also need help maneuvering the Y's to fire without being fire at, should I accept jousts and just try to fly through?

If the Ywings are screening Ndru, how is Ndru getting Lone Wolf?

I used a very similar list last weekend, in two different tourneys, and ended up winning one and being 4th in the second. The main difference being the hull upgrade changed to 3 unhinged for the Ys, that would let me keep my range boon moving faster. You could say it went well, but Shulak is a liability. A Y would have done better in my opinion. Shulak must close distance too soon, and has a huge target over his head.

I never fired the full ultracombo-missile in any game, and he didn't provide much more. Also, 25 points starts to be a heavy investment for a z-95. The most annoying thing for this list are IGs, and even more if they have VI-FCS, since they move after shulak, and hurt you bad. Shulak is not a part of the list anymore :P

To avoid the prominent rise of the TLT I'll pair a very different kind of lone wolf with 2 Ys instead of 3, and that would be a IG2000 with sensor jammer, thrusters, LW, inertial and HLC. Most likely B, just in case I fight something agile and stuff.

I'd swap the hull on N'Dru for the GO-FASTER!!!! droid on the Y-Wings.

For the same cost, I'd try a triplet of Spice Runners (16) with TLTs (6) and Tacticians (2). They aren't the most maneuverable ships, but they can pull double duty as stress-bots, and that's not too bad.

I'd trade the hull for a stealth device on N'dru, also.

I only have one HWK myself, so I can't fly this - but it'd be interesting to see how it fares.

Except TLT HWKs do NOT want to fly AT the enemy. And if they are flying AWAY from the enemy, they can't use tactician. So TLT and tactician are sort of mutually exclusive (i.e. not a good combo).
