Got to test my squad tonight,

Vessary, TIE mk.2, VI, HLC

Omega Leader, Comms booster, juke

Epsilon squadron pilot times two.

The three ties provide a selection of target locks which makes Vessary's target less predictable. Both games they tried to focus down the ties rather than the defender.

I didn't get to test the Brath/omega lead/zeta lead build that's been floating around the batreps board.

We have a friendly 14 person tournament coming up this weekend, and I'll probably fly this

Any suggestions on refinements? I was half tempted to shed Vessary's HLC to upgrade the epsilons to crackshot omegas...

Crackshot Omega's would be very useful and would spread around the hurt. But the 4th die and no green R3 bonus is soo good. All of vessery's dice have an 87% chance to hit (assuming focus and TL) so its like you have crackshot every round with HLC. I would try the Omegas. Makes you much stronger vs tlt lists. Let me know how testing goes

I have been testing a version with Crackshot Omega's in casual games and plan on flying the list at a tourney tomorrow. My version is as follows:

DF3

Colonel Vessery (35)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

"Omega Leader" (21)

Juke (2)

Comm Relay (3)

Omega Squadron Pilot (17)

Crack Shot (1)

Omega Squadron Pilot (17)

Crack Shot (1)

Total: 99

Well, I flew it and won tempted to swap out omega lead for zeta lead in my next testing phase. The lack of a second big gun can be crippling if Vessary goes down.

It really depends on who you are flying against. Omega Leader can solo most other ships in a 1 v 1 battle. Vessery and the Crackshots are more of an OL delivery system

If we are talking defenders i played against 3 of them. All with TB and title. One was vessery. It wiped the floor with me (maybe because i had not flown against TB before but nonetheless it seemed very potent)

With Tractor Beams and the titles we're going to see a lot of defenders for a while. I'm just trying to fly them before they become fashionable as I dislike flying meta lists
