Hi,

What do you think of the following 3 ship list:

1x Tie Phantom Echo, PTL, FCS, ACD, Recon specialist;

1x Tie fighter Howlrunner, Wingman, Stealth device;

1x Tie Interceptor Soontir Fel, PTL, Stealth Device, Auto thrusters, Royal tie guard;

Each ship is difficult to hit being 4 agility.

Howlrunner can help remove a stress and give the attack reroll.

A bit fragile but an be quite fun with a coordinated attack.

Echo with PTL and ACD prevents echo from Cloaking, unless you use the cloak trigger to activate PTL, but at PS 6 you'll probably want to use two actions to keep her safe.

also Howl is better in bigger groups...

I cooked this up.

Echo

PTL

FCS
Recon Spec

Stygium Particle Accelerator

Epsilon Leader (Tie/FO)

Comm Relay (unreleased)

Stealth Device

Soontir

PTL
AT
RGP

SD

Epsilon is better adapted at keeping up with fel with the added bonus of affecting everyone, not just one pilot...

Also the trick here with Echo set up is

Decloak

-Evade from SPA

--Trigger PTL

---Action

----Stress

Green Movement

-lose stress

Action.

so you go in to combat with:
A)No Stress

B) 2 Foci

C) 1 Evade

D) a barrel roll

But be warned, at a PS 6 with no 'negative' for being fired at (rebel captive) probably is the 'easiest' meaty target to hit in the list for high PS enemies.

Generally speaking, stress is the death of any Phantom. They are the ultimate arc-dodger and glass cannon. Anything that interferes with their ability to Cloak should be avoided at all costs.

If you are forced to make a Green maneuver every turn, it makes you very predictable and that should be avoided as well. The strength of the Phantom is their ability to be anywhere at any time.

It's not too dissimilar from a list I cooked up:

Personally I dont like Recon Spec on Whisper, as it relegates you to pretty much always focus. But you get a focus from an attack that hits anyway. if you're not going with Gunner might i Reccomend Rebel Captive.\

Is that a Soontir fel without PTL? those exist? Drop Shield to Auto Thrusters Daredevil to PTL 2 point remaining to give Whisper Gunner.

Soontir's pilot card should have a push the limit card permanently attached to it. There is no reason, I repeat, no reason (yet?) to run daredevil on Fel when push the limit exists. Seems cool or want to be different? Not worth the serious drop in combat effectiveness.

Daredevil on Fel's always worked for me. You get that nice turn and a focus

but you have Barrel roll, evade and a focus.... or a boost evade and focus. or a Focus evade focus.

Not saying I don't understand the concept behind PTL. It's really nice on Fel, but that sharp turn provided by Daredevil usually sets me up to delivering a crippling blow from outside their arc.

Daredevil does have its place on certain ships, and it might work for you in your local meta, but in the competitive scene Soontir is not without PTL.

DD has its place more on A-wings or on "full speed ahead Oicunn's"
