So I've been playing with a few variates of lists with the VXC-100 and I really like this.

Playing this in the local league the last month and another local stores tournament the other day.

Roark is very nice to have with that PS 12 trickery. The way it normally plays out is the opponent guns for chopper and then realises chopper is shooting first. So then they go straight for the HWK. Thats when chopper comes in and blind sides the enemy with FCS and his 4-5 primaries, hopefully landing in R1 to get off his ABT too.

When its all said and done and if they manage to destroy Chopper or I think it's neccasry to have another threat on the board to win, I can drop Hera at PS9 and Navigate my way to victory. So many people \have found it frustrating trying to pin Hera down, especially after she sees where everything is going almost before she moves.

Has gone 1w-2l to 3xPredator T=70's

1w vs Dengar / Kath

1w vs Corran + B-Wings

1w vs Poe/Biggs/Sabine

1l vs Whispers 2xTAPS

Roark Garnet (19)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Tactician (2)
"Chopper" (37)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
Dash Rendar (2)
Ion Projector (2)
Ghost (0)
Hera Syndulla (Attack Shuttle) (22)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Navigator (3)
Phantom (0)
Total: 100
The Other list I like the look of trying is
Kanan Jarrus (38)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
Recon Specialist (3)
Lando Calrissian (3)
Experimental Interface (3)
Ghost (0)
"Chopper" (37)
Fire-Control System (2)
Autoblaster Turret (2)
"Zeb" Orrelios (1)
Dash Rendar (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Total: 99
Chopper jumps right in to the front limes to cause bumps and bruises while Kanan hangs back a bit and double focuses, then landos for hopeful extra focus/evades while reducing incoming fire for both ships, then no needing to target lock either because of fire controls. I have a 1 point initiative or I can use it to upgrade one of the upgrades for example, Kanans Autoblaster, into a dorsal or his Fire Controls into Reinforced Deflectors.

Is the local meta swarm or u-boats? what are you going to see? I feel like 2 ships vs 6 or 7 is a hard sell. Though 2 vs 3 is a better match up. Both lists look good i would just try to gage what people in your area are doing.

The current meta in my area is Triple Aces in Imperials/Rebels, 2 x Large Ships in imperial or scum or mini swarms of loike 4-5 ships, I see what you're saying though, 2 ships vs 6-8 ships of swarm will be a tough match.
