26 points Imperial -What is better?

By USCGrad90, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Building a list for an upcoming tournament. I have 3 ships and need a 4th. I have 26 points left to spend and am down to picking between 2:

Option 1: Saber Interceptor+ PTL+ Autothrusters

Option 2: Tempest Tie Advanced + TieX1+ Adv TC + Stealth

Option one gives me a good arc dodger with higher PS, but Option 2 gives me more consistent damage with more capability to survive a first hit.

Omega leader Juke Comms Relay an option?

Doomshuttle is a 24 point possibility

if you're going to go with a low PS tie Adv AccCorrectors is better... also colzet is a definite option.

Colzet AC and Adv Homing missiles is 26

Kind of tough to say without the rest of the list...

Current ships:

Soontir + RTG +PTL +AT+Stealth

Night Beast

Zeta Leader + Wired + Comm Relay.

how married to having night beast are you, because if you drop nightbeast you can take a loaded up vader.

Vader

Predator

ATC

EU

concussion missile.

41 points

otherwise see above at my last post.

I already took Soontir and Night Beast in the first round. Adding Zeta Leader was my next plan and then trying to finalize for the 3rd round. Doomshuttle may be good. Also have room for Anti Pursuit lasers.

My vote is for Omega Leader With that bunch.

Alternatively, Colzet w/ x-1, FCS + Hull = 26.

Doom shuttle is also good....

Current ships:

Soontir + RTG +PTL +AT+Stealth

Night Beast

Zeta Leader + Wired + Comm Relay.

You want Nightbeast to instead be a Crack Squadron.

You want Zeta Leader to have Juke. This costs us an extra point, so we have 25 left.

You go Captain Yorr with a 1 point initiative bid/ your choice of 1 point upgrade. Probably best with the initiative bid to counter other Vaders and Soontirs.

This synergizes well with Zeta Leader and Soontir, and helps you in a match against a stresshog Y-Wing.

ALTERNATIVELY:

We make Night Beast an Academy Pilot. This frees up an extra 3 points. With Yorr and Juke in the build now we have 4 points left over for a Sensor Jammer on Yorr.

You are right on the 1 point bid, though. I can go with a base Doom Shuttle for 24 to get a 2 pt initiative or add Intelligence Agent or Tactical Jammer to go to 99.
