Keep it simple with Vader on a Patrol Leader. Adding Gunner and going for Oicunn with Crack Shot is nice if you have the points. Use this for anti-ace work and then chuck in a couple of Tie Bombers to deal with larger, lower agility targets. Should work even better when Gamma Squadron Veterans arrive.

Plays very differently from a standard imperial list with no arc-dodging or Palp-dice shenanigans. Tends to be fast games too. You need to dish out damage quickly because those large, low agility ships will start to melt under sustained firepower.

This is the cheese I bring to the table.

Rear Admiral Chiraneau — VT-49 Decimator 46 Calculation 1 Recon Specialist 3 Tactician 2 Ship Total: 52

Its nice to change 2 focus to crits and ion the trash out of them aces :-)

the difference between your typical, boring cowardly "RUN AWAY!" turret-dependent VT-49 and freaking CAPTAIN OICUUN is a vast gulf separating the plateau of sheer suck from the peak of some of the most fun you'll ever have

seriously, when you have something THIS imposing

do you really think you should running away from the enemy, firing shots behind you as you flee for the safety of daddy palpatine?

no! you go right for the throat and you gore those lesser ships on those ever so prominent horn/tusk things that someone thought the ship needed

the VT-49 really only has one pilot worthy of that awesome imposing model, and it's Captain "badass motherloving" Oicuun

Captain INDAFACE Oicunn FTW!

his eternal redhead Mara compation, the ominous Rebel Captive that ruins lives, friendships and families, and Moff "AW SHEEEIT, DAMAGE WHEN OBSTRUCTING" Crit-eater Jerjerrod

I really love a Suicide Oicuun. Dauntless, EU, Daredevil, Gunner, Vader; gives you a boat load of health just charging at your opponent. If you smack him the smack him again. And you still have plenty of room for a Agent Kalus Whisper with FCS, ACD, VI.

If you fly Oicunn on an epic base and peg, you get a intimidation for free.

You know what looks awesome sitting next to a decimator on the play mat? A raider.

i never thought of that. I always considered Daredevil to be a boost action but it isnt it says its a maneuver. So it can bump with that.

Impressive....considering usually i just baaaarrrily miss with oicunn that would be very handy.

Though i dont see the point in dauntless. Focus isnt that important on him.

If you put Isard on Oicunn w/ Experimental Interface, you could trigger Daredevil during the combat phase off of Isard's evade action, which would give you an actual maneuver during the combat phase after *everyone* has moved, letting you careen into whoever was currently in the way, or even possible out of arc.

Hmm. How the hell have I never thought of this before? Don't even need to take that useless Dauntless title to do it, either. It does double stress though, so that's at least one full turn before you can use Isard's action again.

Doom Deci is Vader-onl Patrol leader, Oicun's devious Bro4Life

almost always worth running vader on it

This is FUN!
