Having a hard time choosing what to bring to a tournament in January. Want to practice a couple of different types of lists. Narrowed down to Imperial, but not sure if I should go with Palpmobile + 2 aces (I expect this to be common), Doom-Deci w/ Ace, or 3 Aces.

Since the other two lists are fairly well documents, I was hoping I could get some feedback/suggestions on this proposed triple aces list.

What are the worst match-ups for the list? How much is the lack of an init bid going to hurt the list? Would Carnor be a better selection than Soontir? And, you know, general feedback from folks with their finger more on the pulse of the meta would be nice!

STARSCREAM

Vader hunts aces, Soontir is tank/bait/token stripper, Maarek is control (via crits).

100 points

PILOTS

Darth Vader (35)
TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Veteran Instincts (1), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Maarek Stele (33)
TIE Advanced (27), TIE/x1 (0), Veteran Instincts (1), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Soontir Fel (32)
TIE Interceptor (27), Royal Guard TIE (0), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2)

I have been more of a fan of the Royal Guard with Vet Ins for the cost. The three ship build will have tough time against BBBBZ. Fly tight and watch the edges, use your speed and you should do well.

I have two questions:

How does one use Fel to tank? (Rhetorical)

Why does he have the title if you are only giving him one modification?

Make sure he always has 2 focus tokens before the combat phase.

Stealth device helps. 2 Focus + Evade + Autothrusters + 4 defense dice makes him a shadow of a fart.

Initial build featured SD on Fel, then I adjusted things (EU on Maarek) but didn't remember/care to remove the title on the builder.
