I've been running this list to recent success, but I'm worried about its ability to sustain through a tournament.

Soontir fel

Ptl

Autothrusters

Stealth device

Sigma Squadron

Stygium

Mara jade

Darth Vader

Atc

Engine upgrade

Veteran Instincts

The basic ploy is to send fel wide for flanking while I edge toward the opponent with sigma and Vader, sigma a good 4-5 ship lengths ahead to hopefully draw fire when it's cloaked with an evade token.

Once I'm inside, I'm golden. Sigma is a pain in the ass when cloaked as she stresses anyone at range 1 to prevent the k turn so that vader and fel can swoop in uncontested on the flanks. If that isn't working, she can decloak and either present such a threat thst the opponent doesn't target Vader or fel, or else sit in range one with a focus token ready to meet face with 5 red dice.

The list works but it is unforgiving. Any of the three ships can go down easily if I bugger up or even if dice run hot/cold.

So, please help. Should I just bulldoze forward with this list as is, or should o switch Vader out for something more jousty-brawly to soak up shots and let soontir and sigma work their magic?

If I had just one more point I could swap Vader for a doomshuttle and an academy tie, which would be perfect.

I'll take the combined advice of this forum abd post my results!

- I'm a decent Pilot with a fairly well rounded understanding of tge game, so while I know it's definitely vest to fly what you know, I'm also very confident in my ability to adapt the list and play it well.

Cheers

I was running a list with a similar strategy (throw a damage soaking ship that wreaks havoc at close range at the enemy and back it up with two aces) with a completely different list of ships. Feel free to pick and pull from my list if any of my ships suit a role better. (Only ran the list twice but won decisively both times in casual games)

Vessery (wide flanker)

Lone wolf

HLC

Omega Leader (similar role to your vader, hangs back then engages at a distance)

Juke

Comm Relay

Cutlass Squadron (tank/control/blocker)

Accuracy Corrector (if they ignore your punnisher they take a fair amount of damage, though not as much as from a phantom)

Extra munitions

Ion bomb

Seismic charge (finished a ship in the first game after the initial pass, dropped this puppy then sent omega leader and the punnisher to block the other possible escape routes while vessery k turned for a shot)

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Food for thought. Similar strategy despite totally different lists.

Also, I feel like vader > doomshuttle + academy in this list. If you dropped vader for something else to fit that role I'd look for 2 crackshot black squadron ties and a system upgrade on your phantom (sensor jammer for added tankiness)

Tournament is in 2 hours - I'm thinking I should swap out both vader and the sigma for a loaded kenkirk, now.

I know you shouldnt switch lists just before a tournament, but im really worried about the foolishness of running three glass canons.

help!

Fly what you know and know well.

Don't second guess

I second the above post. You know your list and you've had success with it. Don't start adding more variables to the tournament. Take what you know. You'll do better with a list you're comfortable with
