i present This

Brath

Vessery

VI

Tractor Beam

Tie/D title

Omega Leader

Juke

Comms relay.

100 points even

thoughts?

I already played this but without the extra Tractor Beam movement on small ships (just the -1 Agility token). It rocks. Nasty.

Tractor beam IG88s laugh at you.

Tractor beam IG88s laugh at you.

tractor beam 88's do no damage?

theoretically

I don't see the point of Brath in this list. Yes, he's PS8 and that's nice and all, but considering what he's doing here, I think a lower PS ship that saves you some points would be equally effective.

For example, a Glaive (assuming 34 points) saves you 3 points, allowing TIE mk 2 for it and Vessery, and still 1 point left for crack shot. Also, by going Glaive, Vessery doesn't need VI anymore and can take crack shot too. The drop from PS8 to 6 is not huge, since there are few small based ships in that range that you see an awful lot (and would like to tracter before they shoot). If the PS 7/8 small based ships are on the rise, then I could see going for PS8...

Alternatively, with a Glaive, you could go with the new adaptability cards (presumeably you need two of them----one for Glaive and one for Vessery). That would leave you 3 points for a hull upgrade on Vess...

i was just using cards we know.. TBH i'd rather have Stele with Tractor/title/ Calculation(or crackshot) (assuming his pilot ability is the same)
