may get some defender play in

omicron/ palp 29

omega leader comm relay juke stealth device 29

coloney vessery mangler cannon, crack shot or VI (to taste) T.I.E. mk 2 41

total 99

It can work, definitely. Vader + Jax are not a bad duo, really. Your opponent wants both of them dead ASAP, but generally has to pick one to go after first, allowing the other to get good positioning.

Edit: wrong thread.

Whisper + echo?

Whisper + echo?

I was about to say, where's the Shuttle, Omega Leader, Whisper list? :)

Whisper with recon spec, advance cloak, fire control and vet instincts is crazy.

Decloak/move - move again, (moving last) then action(focus) shoot first (with 4 red minimum) then free target lock, free cloak, and lol like crazy as the other guy can't touch you. Rinse repeat. I've used this load out twice now and each time it accounted for minimum 3 kills, and never took a hit. With palp adding extra bonus, and vader on his wing.... Could be super scary. Try:

Omicron group pilot - palp

Whisper - VI, recon spec, ACD, FCS

Royal gaurd pilot - wired, title, auto thrusters, stealth device

=99

Tried to fit in Vader/turr phennir but couldn't do it. The Royal gaurd pilot is a close enough but lower skill. So he is likley to be stressed meaning wired kicks in and gets him those rerolls (so he actually excels in stress games) AND it's not a 1 off - wich I strongly dislike - while still being defensive enough to survive, while whisper does what he does.

"Whisper Control"

Whisper (ACD, FCS, Recon, VI)

Omega Leader (Juke, CR)

Jax (PTL, AT)

99 points
