VCX TLT+AC+tactician+gunner/luke lets you triple stress at range 2:

Rebel

TLT

accuracy corrector

gunner/luke

tactician

51/53

TLT shot, 1 stress, 2-3 hits with AC

TLT shot, 1 stress, intentionally miss with AC (cancel dice, do not add any) to trigger gunner

primary attack, 1 stress.

total: 3 stress with 1 TLT and 1 primary shot.

I was thinking what to finish it with. Maybe R5P9 Poe with a proto pilot, or a 2nd VCX.

That accuracy correcter interaction is really clever, but I think FCS could be even deadlier. You can use the target lock from the first attack to reroll hits/crits on the second for the same purpose (ableit not as reliably), and the ghost's primary weapon with a lock + potentially a focus is going to do a lot of damage. Plus, it's more useful when you're shooting at a ship outside of arc and you're not going to be able to use Gunner.

As far as wingmates, I'm not sure - haven't gotten a chance to play with the VCX yet myself. I've seen people pair it with Biggs (with R4-D6 and IA) and Tactical Jammers on the Ghost to mitigate the u-boat threat, so that's another option.

Not a bad concept, however, anyone who takes a look at this list will avoid range two line the plague, which isn't too difficult.

also with TLT, if one hits then the "attack" hits and wouldn't trigger gunner even with the intentional cancellation of dice, atleast thats what i understand the rule to be with gunner and TLT's. now if you want to double stress, canceling the dice each time with accuracy correct and then go for the primary weapon attack , that should work great.

I'm pretty sure TLT and gunner works. I think the ruling is that aside from target declaration they're considered separate attacks, so missing one of them should trigger gunner.

thanks, just looked for clarification, you are correct sir. that is a lot of stress!

what do you think of this, 1st list has regen poe and a Z blocker, 2nd list has 2 procket A wings with AT, 3rd list has 2 PTL procket A wings. all wingmen can try and block the range 1 approach so at least some target should be at range 2

1.

stressboar with AC, 51

poe, VI, r5p9, autothrusters, 37

bandit, 12

total 100

2.

stressboar with FCS , 50

2x green A wing, prockets, autothrusters, crackshot, adaptability, title, 25

total 100

3.

stressboar with FCS, 50

2x green A wing, prockets, PTL, adaptability, title, guidance chips, 25

Not bad for 50pts! I will keep this in the back of my mind. 3 talas, 2 with concussion missiles + chips for alpha strike, and 1 with Ion missile to synergize with Stressboar.

I like you greens with prockets and crackshots as well. Those with Ghost should take a scout out, then are solid blockers.

Your Stressboar with the normal 26 point stress hog would be pretty irritating to fly against. I like Ezra on the shuttle with elusiveness and Hera and that's an even 100 total. I may try out your Stressboar with those 2.
