Glitterstim?

Ive played scum bobba, counter measures, glitter before. It was fun.

Tie/fo Omega Squadron with Predator. They are best in a group of three. You have no Howlrunner leash problem and three of them shred a PS 2 Y-Wing. They are easy to fly in a pinwheel.

I have read all the posts and mathwing on how the Tie/fo is to costly but so far in game play they have been great. The 2 Sengor Loop has been fantastic at reversing and staying out of arc. Back three of these with three Omega Ties and you can do very well against most meta lists.

I fully admit that I'm one of those who underestimated the TIE/fo when I first saw them. In practice, they're the old TIE Advanced with a better dial and a lower cost. Omega Ace with PTL can focus and evade, which gives it the same single-turn durability as a naked Storm Squadron Pilot with a focus token.

Another unexpectedly disgusting combo was PTL and Engine Upgrade on Zeta Ace. In a match against him, he was facing away from me, unstressed, and I figured I was safe for at least a turn as he would have to Segnor's and clear stress to get after me. Instead, the pilot did a hard 1, followed by a boost, followed by that crazy speed 2 Barrel Roll, and had me dead to rights.

I couldn't even be mad about it, because it was so cool.

PhantomFO I just did the Zeta Ace move you described on my gaming table. You cannot really appreciate it until you see it in real life, Wow.

Does this do what I think it does? It sounds like you end up behind your starting position.

That's exactly what it does.

If I had my home computer, I would diagram it with Vassal.

Derp, completely forgot that's an option

That's some prenerf Echo nonsense right there. I love it.

If interested, for Zeta Ace I had a thread recently depicting some of his options when with PTL and engine upgrade (and without)

Y-Wing + TLT

I think that is appreciated just fine.

Not by me

My personal favorite

Y-Wing with BTL and R2 with Ion Turret. A very competent dogfighter that puts out damage similar to TLTs, but adds control and punches harder at close range. Only 25 points too.

Wedge bb-8 Outmaneuver

Just flew this combo before I read this post and shredded a falcon with it. It may find a more permanent place in more of my squadrons.

Keyan Farlander + Opportunist.

Take a stress for an extra attack dice, discard the stress to work as a free focus action.

If you find you can't use Opportunist much because your opponent has evade or focus tokens, the third part of the combo is a higher PS ship to attack first and make your foe use their tokens before Keyan!

There is always counter measures with Captain Kagi. Add in sensor jammers and carnor jax for maximum frustration
