Favorite Palp Aces?

By fok12, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So, what is your favorite Palp Aces build? The classic Soontir/Vader/Shuttle or the new Inq/OL/Wampa/Shuttle?

There is a tournament this weekend and I'm kind of indecisive about which list to take and why, since it will be my second time flying either list. :blink:

I mean, Soontir is, well, Soontir and Vader sits at PS 11 with VI, making him the best arc-dodger.

On the other hand, the other list has 4 ships instead of 3, and Wampa, who everyone fears. The only draw back is the PS 8 aces.

All feedback is appreciated. :lol:

atm I run Whisper, Soontir and Palp as my main go to

Whisper & Inquisitor

Yorr/Vader/Inquisitor

With the rise of the U-boats, extra ships means more red dice to burn through that pile of shields/hull points. Inq, OL, Wampa, Palpmobile does look tempting.

I ran Yorr/Whisper/OL at our Regionals this past weekend and went 4-2 with it. Missed out on top 8 by 5 MOV :( It's a good list, but I had some difficulty against high Hit Point Lists. My only 2 losses came to a Kanan/Dash list (by 13 points - I got half points for each ship) and a Double VCX Kanan/Chopper list. 32 Hitpoints is a LOT to chew through. Though, I have to say Whisper did her best at trying. The Kanan/Dash list saw Whisper sneak 2 Crits through. Both were Major Explosions, one flipped up a Direct Hit, and the other was a Structural Damage (fat lot of good that did on a VCX with 0 agility anyway). Though, 5 damage from 2 crits ain't bad at all.

Im looking at trying palp. with 4 x black squad ties with crack shot.
