It does well against a lot of arch type's high ps archdodgers, get blocked by slamming k-wing or by sabine and out maneuvered by ps 10 jake, PTL users get abused by titless stress bot, np one ship does terrible and they work very well when coordinated

I think a second Gold + TLT will get more mileage than a (basically) naked K-wing for the same price.

Not to mention that Jake is toothless. He's not scaring anyone...

And Sabine seems a bit wasted here. No turret makes her a sad panda :(

The k-wing is there for slam blocking and intelligence agent, I see the benefit of having a second gold squad, I just chose the k-wing route for blocking.

The name is funny in the sense that you're giving yourself a million and one opportunities to block, hence "covering many bases", but also ironic in the sense that the entire list pretty much does one thing (block), and that's a thing that's only good vs. action dependent ships.

I often run Chiraneu with Predator, and he doesn't really care how much you block him. He actually likes to get blocked since it means he gets highly modified attacks against other nearby targets, while one less ship is able to shoot back at him. Poor Jake here doesn't even have autothrusters to deal with threats of that nature.

It seems a bit of a one trick pony. You need various tricks for various enemy types, imho.

Jake is there almost solely here for whisper, and being able to shoot before her. He has a built in 2 action economy which works enough, and sabine can widen her arc enough for me to not warrat a turret.

But I can see both of the concerns from your point of view as well. It's not an easy list to fly and make work but when u do, it's both satisfying and terrifying.

In the 6 games Iv had with this list I have lost jake, but I always wound up with 2/4 ships at the end of every game.
