This list is a variation on a list i like to play with

Delta Squadron pilot 30 pts

Tie X7 -2 pts

Tie mk 2 1 pt

Delta Squadron pilot 30 pts

Tie X7 -2 pts

Tie mk 2 1 pt

Patrol Leader 40 pts

Agent callus 2 pts

total 100 pts

the list has 28 hull points and each ship works independently and even though the ships are all low pilot skill it forces the opponent to choose target priority either go after the defenders or sink the decimator. its fun let me know what you think.

It's interesting, but is it substatially better than say...two AC TIE/Ad with a Deci? You can squeeze some more onto the tank and the T/Ads kinda look after themselves at that point too

i think the real choice between the tie advanced and the tie defender is in the movement. you get the crit with the tie advance and ac but you take the defender for its dial and im confident in a delta by itself. i do like using tie advances so ill have to try that.
