Thoughts on this? Think it do well tournament wise?

Flew this last night.

Was fun and I wondered it this could do well competitively.

Jax

Ptl

Title

Stealth

Auto thrusters

Shadow

Sensor jammer

Recon specialist

Stygium

Omnicron

Palpatine

Trying something a little different from the popular fel/Vader w/ shuttle

I figured jax maybe decent counter to fel.

Range 1 and his defensive actions are rendered useless

Paired up with sensor jammer on a Phantom, plus palmobile for that extra defense.

Against tlt again there is auto thrusters, sensor jammer and palmobile to reduce hopefully a lot of the dmg, especially since half of the attack are usually unmodified

Played it against 4 bombers last night

All with assault missiles and seismic charges.

Was tough trying to avoid the missiles and not get stuck behind them, but it faired well

Only drawback I found is dmg output is low when shooting at ships with lots of hp

Bbbbz could be tough, but I think it could be done

If flown well it could certainly wreck some face. The Phantom in particular might prove challenging to use. The psychological threat of a Phantom mean people will often aim for it even if it isn't the best choice to do so. A palpmobile is also a very tempting target. If you can manuever both so your enemy have a hard time deciding which to target, you should be in business.

Yeah that is kind of the idea.

If my opponent goes after the Phantom or shuttle that'll leave jax alone, in which h case he can get in that range 1 bubble and sensor jammer will work, or the shuttle can hopefully soak up dmg and the other two can do some pain

But ya it's not easy to fly.

If you are wanting to use Jax as a counter to Fel you may want to consider Intel Agent on the Phantom.

Ya I did consider that actually

I kept it at 99 pts so I could try for int bid

That way if I'm against bbbbz or other ps2 ships (been flying against a lot of bombers lately) I can give him int.

If I have it chances are good my opponent would set up in a jousting position to my shuttle.

Though it's the ship that I'd rather die first, I don't want to get it set up across from a bunch of bwings or in my buddy case his bombers.

He's quite good with them, for what they can do

Its a tough call really

Intel agent would be on the Phantom, and that still requires a range 1-2 and in last night game for example, jax and the Phantom were split up pretty good.

It's a good idea and I will rethink that

Update

I've had a fee goes with this squad

I really like it.

Have beaten tie bombers with assault missiles and seismic (though was tough trying to stay out of arc and not get caught behind hid bombers)

A rebel swarm 2bwing Fcs, 2awing and a z, and a quad tlt list twice (2y and 2hwk, he doesn't have ywings)

And I lost bad to a Vader veteran instincts, vessery hlc and zeta squad (though I also flew it terrible)

So far works great against low ps ships and tlt. The quad tlt couldn't touch them. One game he did 1 dmg and that was to the shuttle.

Fun list to fly anyway
