Woah, that Redline is a bit overloaded. You'll never get to use all that ordnance in a single match.

Redline really likes FCS. In fact, enhanced scopes is terrible on him, because moving first actually hinders his ability to grab target locks (which defeats the purpose of taking him).

Redline w/ FCS, extra munis, and your choice of missiles/torpedoes, maybe one mine/bomb. I wouldn't put more than 2 missiles/torpedoes on him (that's 4 shots thanks to extra munitions). Cluster missiles has obvious synergy with his ability, so no reason not to take at least one of those.

If you really want to take a mine/bomb, then bombs are generally better on redline because they don't use up his action and he has a relatively high Pilot Skill, so its easier to use them (mines are the opposite---they are easier to drop on someone if your pilot skill is lower).

As for the shuttle,, I would drop the mangler cannon. Its effectiveness is dubious on a ship that already has 3 attack (there are some exceptions, but the shuttle is not one of them). Its generally best to keep a shuttle carrying darth vader as cheap as possible, since it is usually the first ship you lose, but if you want to give it something, I would suggest either advanced sensors or FCS (both help it get actions more easily).

There's more I could say, but hopefully that's enough to put you on the right track

Remember: A fully laden Redline is as easy to kill as a Cutlass: 9 HP and 1 agility doesn't last very long when its the most expensive ship in your fleet (and therefore focused down).

Thank you both. I will re build the squad and then i will update it here.

Thanks again

What about that list? Should I remove Soontir and add a mini swarm of Fighters??

Thanks!!!

still very heavy on the Redline points. you'll never be able to get off all them munitions.

So, no bombs and only missils?

if you drop to Ion bombs that frees up 3 points allowing you to take autothrusters and Stealth device on to Soontir, allowing him to live longer making him a longer lasting threat. to allieviate focus from Redline, also the Ion will help assure some pretty amazing range 1 shots from Soontir on turns after they hit.

I get 101 with Autothrusters and Stealth Device. :/

sheesh my math is off today

Either Targeting computer if you want Soontir to have TL or 2 point init bid.

Re: Homing Missiles on Redline. These are also redundant due to Redline's ability. Normally the big draw for this missile is the fact that it doesn't spend the TL in order to fire it (like most other missiles), but since Redline gets 2 target locks anyway, he doesn't care about this advantage. I would drop it down to a concussion missile, or another cluster missile and save yourself a point.

And this?

Can anyone give me some input on the last list I posted?

Thanks!

I hit the 'like' button because its alright - now get practicing!

What he said! Congrats, you've arrived at a solid list!

Hello!! I played this list lastnight against a Han Solo and B-wing with a lost. Han and the B-wing had iniciative which made really hard to properly use Soontir (not because it is, but because I had never plyed him without iniciative) in facto Sontir got killed after round 3 or 4 wthout even make an attack. Also, dropping the ion bomb was really hard since my rival moved his ships after Redline and it was hard to calculate it. Finally it was Lambda against B-Wing and I lost but the B-wing had only 1 hull left.

I liked the list but I need to learn to fly Soontir without iniciative and drop de bombs, any input on this?

Thanks!
