Oicunn and whisper

By Comely, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So in my endless indecision for what to pick for the store championship this weekend I made this list:

Captain Oicunn 54

Predator

Emperor Palpatine

Intelligence Agent

Whisper 46

Advanced Cloaking device

Veteran Instincts

Sensor Jammer

Gunner

What would make this list better? Is this list better or worse then Oicunn with two FOs as seen below?

Oicunn 53

Palpatine

Captive

Omega Leader 26

Juke

Comm Relay

Zeta Leader 21

In both lists, oicunn is 'suffering' from lack of speed----he'd be much happier with an engine upgrade!

I've never needed Engine Upgrade on Oicunn. You move first and bump. You can't boost into contact with the enemy.

I suppose if you are facing another large base ship with EU it might be too difficult to reach them.

Perhaps with Daredevil to do a double bump. Take the EU + Title so you don't roll for Daredevil damage. It's a lot of points, but can pay off if used consistently.

hmm well that can be fun I'm not sure it's worth the points. here is something I threw together based on that.

TIE Phantom: •"Whisper" (46)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Sensor Jammer (4)

Gunner (5)

VT-49 Decimator: •Captain Oicunn (54)

Engine Upgrade (4)

•Dauntless (2)

Daredevil (3)

•Darth Vader (3)

Total: 100/100

I think it's worse but you could kill soontir fel in a single turn if you got a bump on him and there would be nothing he could do.
