Soontir,carnor,vader

By Velvetelvis, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Tinkering with three imp aces...

I'm appreciative of any input on this, I think I'm doing something wrong.

Vader,title,adv target computer, determination.

Soontir,stealth,ptl

Carnor jax,stealth,ptl.

98 points...

I know the intercepted title is a thing but....for what?

Is OK as is?

Who knows....

I've lost count of how many times Autothrusters has saved my Interceptors, it quickly becomes your best friend against turrets.

just added your squad up, on my screen it shows as 96 points so you can afford to toss Autothrusters on both Interceptors to bring it up to 100.

Interesting...thank-you.

Do y'all feel like this is a quasi original idea or an incorrect take on an established list?

Most people take Engine Upgrade on Vader to give him Boost and help him dodge those arcs, but then you'd have to give up points elsewhere if you still wanted to fit Autothrusters.

A lot of people give Vader Veteran Instincts, helps dodge and line up those shots.

Good to know. Thank-you for taking the time to respond. The feedback means a lot.

I tried this tonight and lost handily ...interestingly vader lasted the longest and I blame my lack of experience for losing the interceptors early. I just plain did it wrong and lessons were learned. Still....had fun and I intend to keep working at it.

Fantastic, the key thing is you had fun and are learning from mistakes.

Interceptors are high risk, high reward. They are awesome, but make you pay big time for mistakes. Keep learning. Keep practicing. You will become a terror of your LGS and people will start putting bounties on your Soontir.

Also, determination is not great on Vader. With only 3 hull, there's not a lot of chances it comes up. Sure its great when it happens, but it probably won't get used more often than maybe once every 5 games or so....to me, that's not a good return on investment, even for a 1 pt card. I would suggest veteran instincts in its place. Other good ones on Vader are lone wolf, juke, predator and outmanoeuvre (this one is better with engine though).

Turns out determination was a mistake...i used predator. Took me a sec to figure out why my total was not the same as what the fella above said (96) ... I was trying to fit the autothrusters and the list came to 101. So ..now that I've corrected for that I think the area to focus on is the ept on Vader. Thank you for the suggestions.

I am also thinking of swapping one if the interceptors for a phantom but I haven't checked what fits for the points yet,nor do I really have a reason to make the change other than "meh,might be interesting"

Triple Interceptors are a force to be reckoned with if you can get Autothrusters on all of them. Soontir, Turr, Carnor all with AT and Stealth Device, throw PTL on Soontir, VI on the other two, and have two PS 9 ships and a PS 10 with a 98 point bid.

An extra bit about Carnor, R5-P9 requires their pilot to "spend" their Focus token to regenerate that shield...

Tried it with VI on Vader... And....flew the interceptors correctly.

Much better!

I am pleasantly surprised by Vader, he's a tough cookie. I didn't think I would like it but I really do and now I would have a hard time swapping him out for something else and feeling good about it.

Vader is ridiculous, for the points.
