I don´t have six copies of Crack shot, so let´s get that out of the way!

I figure you have to be able to deal with Crack Shot swarm, maybe a rebel swarm while giving yourself some sort of late game chance against aces.

So, here is what I came up with:

Howlrunner/Crack Shot

Omega Leader/Comm Relay/Juke

Dark Curse

3x Obsidian Squadron

What I like about it is that you get 3 shots off against a Crack Shot Swarm since three of mine are PS6 or higher, and the whole swarm gets to shoot against a rebel swarm with a lot of PS2. Then you have Omega Leader and Dark Curse which have a lot of staying power and can be annoying late-game. Sure, Omega Leader is only PS8, but getting the highest PS is really tricky these days because you can face a PS11 Vader and a lot of PS10s with an initiative bid.

I really like the idea of Omega Leader in a swarm because he is cheap enough to make a 6 tie swarm with Howlrunner and it´s really iffy to target him early because of Comm Relay. He´s also really strong with that Howlrunner reroll, pilot ability and Juke.

In any case, this is the first time I have been excited about a tie swarm in a long while. What do you think?

If you're lacking Crack Shots I actually quite like your list Sixter. I might be tempted to switch out Dark Curse for Backstabber and run him as a flanker, but Omega Leader with Juke and Comms Relay is a true thing of beauty. Dark Curse is a pain in the rear. You're right to think that against a PS4 'Crack Swarm' (the two I'm running at the moment are 3xBlacks, 3xOmega's and five Blacks, Obsidian, Academy) you're going to get three shots off before they shoot, just bear in mind though that with low damage output from TIE's you're still likely to only take out one enemy ship so you'll still get hit hard in return... My point being, don't joust a Crack Swarm!
