You don't need to build around juke outside of just putting it on an x7 or relay FO

After that, it's just about how you play it

For example, if you fire at a higher PS opponent when he can't shoot you, then you don't have to worry about the PS difference

This is FAR easier to accomplish than you'd think for defenders because that white 4k may be predictable but it's also dead sexy and makes x7s ships your opponent simply won't want to joust

Secondly, if you want to use juke as permanent crackshot, all you gotta do is have something block the enemy and then x7 away

In a Palp Aces squad with Inquisitor and the shuttle, juke Vessery also can strip a focus token for the shuttle.

You don't need to, but layering a few things just kind of makes it a bit better. Maybe 2 ships with Juke and another with Sensor Jammer.

I'm loving flying my Triple Deee-Lite list. Countess with X7, Predator, and Stealth Device and 2 Delta Squadron with X7 and Stealth Device. Just fly them fast (3,4,5) for the free evade and keep K turning and jousting. They are nasty if flown well.

Edit: Triple Deee-Lite and build are trademark of Theibault. However, there is no court in the known universe that would go with this.

A couple of quick comments:

I agree that juke is worth more to a high PS x7. as you can get the benefit and are free to spend the token for your defence. I'm thinking Rexler, maybe with a fleet officer giving him extra focus tokens.

Just make sure to let your opponents know that the two Delta pilots have the call signs "Joker" and "Clown".

Just tried out a full-on Imp Vets build for the first time in a tournament yesterday. Got my first ever top four, previously I've only come as high as 12th.

My build was:

Colonel Vessery

-TIE/D

-Tractor Beam

-Veteran Instincts

Tomax Bren

-Crack Shot

-TIE Shuttle

-Tactician

Countess Ryad

-TIE/x7

-Twin Ion Engine mk. 2

-Push the Limit

Coming in at exactly 100 points.

I was about to write off Tomax with the Tactician, he barely ever fired my first two games, and never got Tactician off. Then in the last two he was co-MVP with Ryad, managing to stack up stress in the right circumstances to prevent K-turns and actions let Ryad swoop in behind ships and clean up, and the Crack Shot on Tomax was insanely good, it's not every day you get someone who can hit at range 3 through an asteroid with an unmodified 2 dice. And the psychological threat of infinite Crack Shot definitely helps.

Ryad is inasnely fun to fly, and despite her being only PS5, the sheer action efficiency and repositioning with those K-turns somehow helped her be a proto-ace hunter.

Vessery really needs the Twin Ion Engine mk. 2 though, in one round I flew him off the board at full health because I couldn't quite shed the stress from his 1-turn. Not sure what I'd take out to give him that upgrade though, possibly Tactician. I wanted him shooting first with the Tractor Beam to set up Tomax (which definitely helped on many occasions, reduced agility + Crack shot = bye bye ship). Plus, when Tactician worked on Tomax, it worked .

Anyway, I'm very pleased with Veterans, it takes two of my favourite TIE variants from the fluff and makes them even more fun to fly.

I had my first experience play with the Vets this past week with a win, which I was excited about.

The squad:

Countess Ryad [34]

Push the Limit [3]

Twin Ion Engine, Mk. II [1]

TIE/x7 [-2]

Tetran Cowell [24]

Veteran Instincts [1] (With advice from a friend, I swapped out "VI" for Adaptability.)

Autothrusters [2]

Royal Guard TIE [0]

Twin Ion Engine, Mk II [1]

Soontir Fel [27]

Push the Limit [3]

Autothrusters [2]

Royal Guard TIE [0]

Stealth Device [3]

Total Points: 98/100

I hope to try the modified squad out this week.

Oh man, I played some X7 Deltas w/Hull Upgrade. Man, those are some great blockers. And Tractor Beam/D Vessery is so fun. Oops, put Vader on a rock and in arc of my other two Defenders. Bye bye.

Yeah TB vessery is tons of fun to use, less so to face I'm told...Muwhahahahahahahahaha!!!

Well, I faced on and he put my own Vessery on the rocks. Still great fun though. I think people may have to adjust to Tractor Beams for a while.
