Anything with tractor beams will be a great way to combat aces. After seeing them playtested I think them and Crackswarms will be the bain of regen and stack aces.

Omega Leader is a beautiful Ace Hunter. She can easily go toe-to-toe with almost any ace. I've played a game that came down to an injured Omega Leader against a full health Fel, and my Omega Leader easily dealt with Soontir's token-stacking shenanigans.

She? Is Omega Leader a woman? If so, cool!

Academy pilot

Note that i consider "aces" to be more of the Imperial variety than the rebel HP-regenerating tanks

Torpedoboat Drea. if a stresshog could get stress on an ace, Drea with R4B11 can usually drop a proton torpedo on them. a range 1-2 turret (ion or dorsal) covers the range 1 blind spot and helps her deal with arcdodgers.

I always refer to Omega Leader as a she. Same for Epsilon Leader. Don't ask why, just feels right to me.

My personal Favorite is Juno Eclipse. Accuracy Corrector, Proton Rockets, Veteran Instincts and you've still got your mod slot open for guidance chips when it gets here or other shenanigans.

For an ace hunter I always choose deathrain.

Advanced sendors, conner net, proton bombs, EM and ion pulse missiles. If you were so inclined you could adv, lock, drop a proton bomb, kflip then have a locked IPM shot in their rear. Conner net and the front drop also do a lot to shut other aces down

Well, if your looking for a ship that messes with Aces (and therefor is a huge fire-magnet) then Mux is your man.

Yes, Whisper is now PS0. Excuse me while I shoot him with TLTs now. Oh, and Soontir is next so you better get Vader stuck in quick.

OMEGA LEADER, OMEGA LEADER, and more OMEGA LEADER

The last tournament I was in saw Ten Numb with a Mangler Cannon supported by 3 PTL Greens do quite a number on my Palp Ace's list.

Still, Torkil Mux is not a solution for the problem of aces who are able to boost+barrel roll on PS 9.

TLT , Ion turret Y wing or a combo of the two will usually screw with aces pretty badly, plus, with four Y wings, that's 32 hit points on the table.

Crackswarm

Crackswarm is no joke. I underestimated them the first time I played them, and my 4 TIE interceptors crumbled. It was sad.

I don't have an "ace hunter." I have a squad that is capable of handling aces. Intelligence Agent on the shuttle allows me to see where my 4 Alpha Sq. Pilot TIE interceptors need to go to block the ace or line up shots (or both), and Fleet Officer allows the ones that Boost or Barrel Roll into position to still have a focus token. It's been pretty effective so far, but I haven't been to any Store Championships yet (they're all in March) so I have yet to see this squad rigorously tested.

Hey there. I just posted my battle report from a Store Championship event. It has lots of pictures. Go check it out!
