I'm building Vader, Carnor Jax, and Soonir Fel. My question is in your Opinion would adding Twin Ion Engine card to the Tie Advanced giving him more green maneuvers, OR leave it off and go for initiative at 99 points. I could add Crack Shot but the one point is the big question. Thoughts please

Does Vader have Engine Upgrade? He's probably maneuverable enough without the Twin Ions.

If hes debating giving vader twin ion engines, he clearly doesnt have engine upgrade equipped. They use the same slot.

Vader: (29)

ADV.Targeting + tie/x1 (1)

Adaptability (0) Total.(30)

Corner Jax:(26)

Royal Guard Tie (0)

Stealth Device (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Push the limit (3) total.(34)

Soontir Felix (27)

Same load out as Jax (8) total.(35)

So 99 points.

The one point is the question.

It's a fun arc dodging list where hitting hard and first is key.

Will you be playing stress? Advanced's are some of the most predictable ships in the game when stressed and without autothrusters, Vader is action dependant to stay alive. Twin ion's help that. 99 va 100 isn't a huge iniative gamble so you may be better off with it. If you defiantly want to pass iniative you might want to drop stealth off carnor and add the engines to Vader for a 97 point list that should always be moving last.

Thanks, I'm going to drop both Autothrusters for engine upgrade. I'm good at avoiding fire so the Autothrusters were just an afterthought anyway.

Drop Vader. Without Engine he loses a LOT and he's surprisingly fragile. Replace with OL or Inq.

If you're set on that setup, yeah, go for TIE mk2. Current meta you'd need two or even three points to get an good init bid.

Taking Autothrusters OFF of an Interceptor?

HERESY!
