What would you drop from this 102 point list?

By Talonbane Cobra, in X-Wing

Tlt on kavil is a criminal waste to be honest your rolling four dice to do one damage when you could roll four dice with auto blaster and do a potential four damage...

In total agreement with Hobojebus here; TLT is awesome, but a waste of Kavil's awesome ability. I would go with Hobo's list but outfit Kavil as follows:

Kavil

Autoblaster Turret

Predator

Unhinged Astromech.

Predator is almost as valuable as the Agromech, but Unhinged opens up his dial so much. Fly aggressive, get close, force those hits through.

I wouldn't change the turret with Kavil, I'd change the Kavil with the turret. Put a Thug in with TLT instead and enjoy your newfound surplus of points. Now you can put Predator or something on Talonbane.

Both Scyks.

to be fair I think Cartel mangler is the best scyk configuration you can go for. Still expensive at 20 points for nothing more than a crunchy Alpha Squadron pilot. I would take away the Agromech. TLT means unlike blaster turret you don't need focus. Also you could us a regular target lock action instead of trying to spend focus all the time to get the target lock. Glitterstim might work good on Talonbane for a burst damage but still Talonbane is no Corran, 5 Red dice does not compare to 8 red dice.

Arise and walk!

So, as of today, R4 shouldn't work with Blaster Turret, since there's no defender yet when you spend the focus to fire up the turret.

I agree with others as well about dropping the tlt. Your only maxing 2 damage so your paying all those points for Kavil but then not getting the most out of his ability. Either change the turret or change the pilot one or the other.
