So trying to work Redline in while creating havoc with another priority target.
"Redline" — TIE Punisher 27
Fire-Control System 2
Extra Munitions 2
Cluster Missiles 4
Cluster Missiles 4
Guidance Chips 0
Ship Total: 39
"Whisper" — TIE Phantom 32
Veteran Instincts 1
Fire-Control System 2
Agent Kallus 2
Advanced Cloaking Device 4
Ship Total: 41
"Dark Curse" — TIE Fighter 16
Stealth Device 3
Ship Total: 19
I'd change one of the cluster missiles into proton torpedoes so Redline can be hurty at any range.
Otherwise looks good!
I'm always hesitant on any munition ships having more than two missiles or torpedoes as I rarely seem to get enough fired off before they die. Therefore I'd be tempted to save 4pts on one of the cluster missiles and maybe go for a zeta leader with wired for 21pts, or make a build with an advanced prototype with title and some prockets? You might be able to do more by removing kallus giving you 25pts (1pt short of an standard omega leader build)
So ran the build today against a couple of builds in A friendly.
His first crew was Vader, Marek Steele and Inquisitor. Whisper and Redline focused on Vader who went down after first round of firing due to clusters from Redline. 6 hits guaranteed was interesting to see. Marek also met Cluster missles and whisper and was out, then a range 1 whisper shot on inquisitor who rolled blanks....
Second match up. Vs Dengar and IG-88C. Managed to get Dark Curse into a position the he didn't get shot, while creating a bad move selection for IG-88 because of Redline and Whisper. Sure enough IG-88 moved/stressed and got cut off rather than turn out and leave his back to me. Redline k-turns and gets two rounds of free shots with Clusters to finish off IG-88. Whisper and Dark Curse moved around to corner Dengar who took out DC. Whisper had an odd position had to K-turn of all things but Dengar couldn't take advantage even shooting first and Whisper finished off Dengar.
While not top meta builds it flew well and held up overall. Might try the proton toros for the range.
Good show! I am in love with Redline these days. You need to have ammo! Two munitions + extra munitions is the proper amount. With a Phantom lurking about, 'Red is likely to be a little lower on the old target priority list.
I like the idea of Dark Curse. He can be surprisingly resilient. I would keep tinkering with your list. I use a similar one, and I have been wanting to try out a Phantom. My only problem is I really suck with them! I'm looking forward to hearing how your next one goes.
