As a fairly new player still, I've been browsing different builds for ships and squadrons to give myself ideas and to figure out why some upgrades see more use than others. I am rather fond of Interceptors, even if they require a small pile of upgrades to really make them the tournament staple several of the aces seem to be.

One thing I have noticed is that there doesn't seem to be an obvious pick between the modifications used alongside autothrusters, and I see stealth device as often as shield/hull upgrade.

So what do people use and why? I am running under the assumption that the second modification slot is being taken up by Autothrusters, as that seems to be more or less universal.

Stealth Device every time. Hull or shield saves you one damage (maybe one crit for the shield). Stealth device makes you **** near impossible to hit at all.

Work your way through the threads here and here.

A lot of good discussion by some very good players.

Cheers, there's a lot of good stuff in here. Seems that there really isn't a clear optimal choice, which is nice

Thanks,

You've nailed it on the head. It's all just opinions, and at the end of the day it comes down to what you want to use. Try them all out, and see how you get on. What suits me, might not suit you.

There was an article written about interceptors. It talks about the different uses of addons and how to build around which item you want to take.

That was the one bit that those previous threads did not cover, the addition of autothrusters. To my mind, they make the SD more reliable, though I would of course need to run some fairly hefty math on it to really know

Stealth if you'll have lots of tokens; shield if you're worried about Vader/Feedback Array/Crack Shot; Hull otherwise.
