I am a huge fan (pun intended) of Epic format and Huge ships, but when I saw Imperial Veteran pack, I came up with a list that, in my opinion, will dominate in Epic format. Sadly, there is no Huge ships involved.

Here is the list:

- 4x Glaive Squadron Pilot + Ion Cannon + Tie/D (+Crackshot if they cost 33 pts instead of 34 pts)
- Jonus + Extra Munition + Ion Torpedoes + Proximity Mine + Long Range Scanner
- 4x Gamma Squadron Veteran + Adaptability + Extra Munition + Assault Missile + Cluster Mines + Long Range Scanner
300 pts

Here how everything would be played out:

Bombers:
- They can deal massive damage to any swarm of ships.
- They can deal massive damage to Huge Ship and deal damage to the R1 escorting ships (Raider always have a Jonus pet and often a Holwrunner Swarm Tactic).
- They can block a huge part of the map with a field of 8 Cluster Mines and 2 Proximity Mine

Defender:
- They can deny Huge Ships energy gains with their Ion Cannon.
- They can take on 1v1 fights pretty easily once a Ion Cannon land a shot.
- They can escort the bombers if there is no Huge Ships.
- They can make ships land on Mines with Ion Cannon.

Jonus:
- The Ion Torpedoes help to escape whatever is left alive after the alpha strike of the bombers
- Of course, help the alpha strike of the bombers.
- Once the bombers are out of ammo, he can help with defenders ion cannon.


What do you think about it? How well does your Epic list would perform against this?

This would likely do very well in Epic, but I'm always a little sad to see an epic list with no epic ships.

Only advice is you might want to find a way to tank up Jonus, as he's going to be a huge target. Maybe drop all his ordnance for a shuttle + fleet officer upgrade, then adding Push the Limit and a Stealth Device? Just a rough idea, but I know he's got a huge target painted on him so you might want to protect him a little.

I am sad too that there is no huge ship, but I find it way too good (on paper at least) to not consider it.

I must confess I didn't know how to outfit Jonus, but I like your idea to make him more sturdy.

Maybe Tie Shuttle + Stealth Device + Moff Jerjerodd + Fleet Officer + Wired.

This would give him 3 defense die, a focus (and gives one to another ship) and can reroll all of his eyes. Also, if he happens to get the **** crit that make him lose his pilot skill, Moff is there to save the day.

Sounds like a plan to me! I'm not one to make hugely competitive Epic squads, but I feel having Moff there to eject crew members in case of a nasty crit is a good use of him.

Where I live everybody are very competitive. We all fly casual, but we pew pew competitively, even in Epic format.
