I'm in a quandry and in need of advice....

By T70 Driver, in X-Wing Squad Lists

With the arrival of the TAP I'm looking to use the Inquisitor as a replacement for the Palpmobile in my list. The list is pretty much the standard Palp and 2 Aces:

Vader w/VI, EU, Title & ATC (35)

Soontir w/PTL, Title, SD & AT (35)

OGP w/Palp (29)

Total: 99

This is what I'd like to replace the Shuttle with:

The Inquisitor w/PTL, Title & AT (31)

The problem....I need to trim the list by at least 1 point. The question is...where? The first thing that comes to mind is Vader's EU. The question is what to replace it with. I have the mod slot on Vader and both missile slots available to use. I'm thinking probably Stealth or Hull on Vader instead of the EU.

I'd like to hear the forum members thoughts about this switch.

You could go with Accuracy Corrector on Vader, although that hurts his offense. You could drop PTL from the Inquisitor for something cheaper, maybe. Not sure how much you need it with the title equipped.

Predator or PtL on Vader, along with TIE mk II

You could drop EU from Vader and play him more conservatively now that you have two effective arc dodgers.

Just drop Soontir. I know, I know, crazy.

But if you don't drop Soontir, you will want an initiative bid, if you do, you don't care. Replace him with Jax and then you have two PS8s to compliment your PS11 vader.

Vader w/ VI, x-1, ATC & engine = 35

Jax w/ PTL, title, AT & either stealth or hull = 34

Inquisitor w/ PTL, title & autos = 31

100

Predator or PtL on Vader, along with TIE mk II

How do you shed the stress? Lots of TLT Stressbots these days.

I know the obvious answer is to not PTL, but wouldn't you have to more often not take it than take it?

Interesting and, with Carnor Jax, you'd actually benefit by losing initiative with his ability. Plus it'll give me 3 effective arc dodging ships and options at PS 8 for movement/shooting.

That's why you have the mk II engines. :P.

You could also take Outmaneuver of course, but either Predator or PtL open up relocation and evade actions.
