Vader, Vessery and Omega Leader - Target lock fuel

By Wise Guy Sam, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After playing in my very first competitive games outside of my own living room I found a deep love for Omega Leader. Since then I've been working on how I could make her great abilities worth even more.

By adding in Vessery I've now got another great reason to keep Omega Leaders target lock up. Vessery will now get his free TL on whichever poor sod Omega is locked onto. VI also ensures omega shoots second to take advantage of the tractor beams token. Combined with juke even 3 agility ships are going to take a lot of hits.

Last of all classic Vader also pairs well with Vessery wanting to target things that have a TL on. ATC is going to give me another source of near permanent TL. Last of all if adaptability lets me alter my PS each turn if I want I can have a PS 8 list to also have Vader shoot a target with a tractor beam token OR go to PS 10 to take care of those pesky PS 9 arc Dodgers.

2 point Initive bid is more accidental really. I ran out of upgrades to add.

Any thoughts or glaring holes - I'm rather new so might have made a complete dud lists :P

It's a good list. All of your ships are good targets for your opponent, so you'll have to either down a ship immediately or try to split up and bait them into turning the wrong way.

This hasn't been confirmed right? Most people around here simply assume it's a -1 OR +1 upgrade card, switching PS between rounds seems pretty chaotic.

No, not confirmed at all.

I feel it's likely (especially based on the preview) that equping it and you change or 'adapt' as needed each turn.

OR

It could just be a choose before the game which is also fine as PS8 Vader works better for this list.

Or there are several other ideas which could ruin everything for me :P
