Hi all,
I've been playing scum for the longest time and want to go back into another faction for a bit. I'm looking at the Imps and the TIE Defender as I really like the ship but obviously there are some limiting factors with its high cost.
Here's the kind of thing I was looking at using the new TIE/fo targeting computer with Vessery:
Vessery + Mangler + Marksmaship + MK II (43)
Zeta Sq. Pilot + Stealth Device x3 (57)
100pts
I've run the Mangler/Marksmanship combo and really like it for the crit production. I figure the Stealth Device might help with TLT defence for some of the time as well. I went for the Zeta's to avoid the Pred double re-roll and to have first shots on swarm lists.
-------------------------------------------------------
Vessery + Mangler + Marksmaship + MK II (43)
Zeta Sq. Pilot x2 (32)
Academy x2 (24)
99pts
-------------------------------------------------------
Vessery + Mangler + Marksmaship + MK II (43)
Zeta Sq. Pilot + Weapons Guidance x2 (36)
Howlrunner + Swarm Tactics (20)
99pts
I'm keen to see how Weapons Guidance plays. It seems like a useful upgrade for those times when you really wanted an eyeball and rolled blanks.

I'm still very early in the experimentation and I'll be interested to hear others' thoughts on getting the defender working.
