Ghosts...whispers in the dark... PHANTOMS!!! (3 to be exact)

So I really want to run a Triple phantom list for the fun of it, and before I do I wanted to ask the community about it. Now I know what some of you want to/ are going to say "It's not meta", "are you crazy?" "BLAH BLAH BLAH". I want to do this for a couple of casual games, just for fun.

(I may use it in Epic, since this only fills out 100 points, and if I get comfortable with it, I may try it in a tourney, but I'm not holding my breath).

I was thinking something along the lines of this:

91 points

PILOTS

“Echo” (37)
TIE Phantom (30), Tactician (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Sigma Squadron Pilot (27) x 2
TIE Phantom (25), Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Any thoughts on how to round this out?

I really like this list:

Sigma Squadron Pilot (25)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Intelligence Agent (1)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Sigma Squadron Pilot (25)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Recon Specialist (3)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Sigma Squadron Pilot (25)
Sensor Jammer (4)
Recon Specialist (3)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Total: 100

Sensor Jammers are kinda hard to get multiples of if you play "legit" (the way FFG wants you to play: buy 3 shuttles to have 3 sensor jammers)

:P

Also I've played 3 Phantoms recently and its hard to make it work.

Vader + Steele + Popeshuttle wrecked my list so hard, can't outmaneuver them

Also lost to a Decimator + Doomshuttle

Phantoms are just too fragile against anything that can arc dodge or has a turret.

Borrow, beg, dare I say steal? ;)

If it is casual play, proxy the cards?

I have flown 3 Phantoms several times - and it is always a fun game, when I do.
