This list is something I will give a try! It have all that I needed in Imperial list. A bomber that will give maximum damage, Tie Defender with one more cannon attack, and nimble TAP.

What do you think?!

Tomax Bren (32)
TIE Bomber (24), Crack Shot (1), Extra Munitions (2), Homing Missiles (5), Long Range Scanners (0)

Maarek Stele (37)
TIE Defender (35), Tractor beam (1), Adaptability (0), TIE/D (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

The Inquisitor (31)
TIE Advanced Prototype (25), Push the Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

With the propensity for target locks from the bomber, Vessery might be a better Defender pilot if you have him.

Yes he is but his PS6 is not enough to first fire his Tractor Beam.

Oh yeah. I forgot that little detail; my similar list has a PS5 bomber in place of Inquisitor.

I would probably ditch LRS on Bren in favour of Guidance Chips. At PS8, he is not going to have trouble getting those target locks.

I appreciate LRS lets you TL on turn 1 and then focus on turn 2. This makes the Alpha strike stronger but makes it harder to get your second TL for the beta strike.

VI. Vessery is a WAY better pilot than Maarek in terms of ability, 1 point is a small price to pay to make the list work a lot better.

I think it has all the good synergies. If you are more worried about aces maybe go with Vess instead. Maarek vs generics and non aces is probably more scary... One crit can really do a lot of work..

I concur with going from Maarek to VI Vessery. He and Inqi (Inquisitor) work very well together, and Tomax gives you a redundant source. Plus now Inqi benefits from the tractor beam, too. The Mk II engines are the easiest place to get the point you need to make the swap.

Im liking it! All PS8 so can benefit from Vessery's Tractor beam (Tomax is gonna hit like a tonne of bricks)

I prefer the Proton Torps to push that crit through after everyone has shot and a good spread of target priority

So, the only thing is to get Veterans of the imperium ASAP!

I think that Homing Missiles and LRS is far more better. Enemy ships can not use evade and I will most probably have 4 hits (TL + focus). Than Inquisitor hits!
