Tournament coming up. Empire list.

By Default02, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So just wanted to see if I could get some ideas and an answer to a question. First the list.

Commander kenkirk-63

Intimidation

Mara Jade

Emperor Palpatine

Dauntless

Engine upgrade

Darth Vader-37

Outmaneuver

Tie/x1

Adv. Targeting Computer

Engine upgrade

So the list is based around a cool idea of Emperor Palpatine with the Left and Right Hand and the dauntless flying into the enemy squadron and disrupting as much as I can. When I need to arc dodge I will boost as needed. When I start taking cards will use Palp and Kenkirk to stay up longer. Vader will do what Vader does and jump around trying to get rear shots. I will be targeting ships that are touching Dauntless so I can get the bonus to the damage via outmaneuver and intimidation.

Now I have ran this list before but I ran it with Rear Admiral C. And proton rockets on Vader and no engine upgrade on the dauntless and Vet instincts on the dauntless too. Though I won the match I felt I need more surviabiltly on the Dauntless. The question is should I drop Mara Jade for Isard for extra tankyness? If I did this change I think I would drop the engine upgrade and change to ion projectors to fill the points.

Another option would be to keep the same list but swap outmaneuver for Ruthlessness on Vader to help with swarms.

Ive run a similar list with good effect....

I used to run kenkirk/vader but have found that vader is too easily killed and is usually the first target for my oopponents. therefore i switched him out for Soontir Fel

kenkirk +Emperor+EU+Ysard+LW

fel+PTL+title+AT+stealth

=97

you could put a bomb on the deci but I like to have fel win the PS bid against other Fels. Once you have a damage card on Kenkirk, ysard and his pilot ability kick in along with LW and Palpatine makes for a survivable decimator.
