Vessery and...?

By Rolotamasi, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Long time troll, first time poster.

With Vets out I decided to put my hat into the ring. I love Vessery's ability and with so many good TL ships in the empire I figured he was a natural fit. I have two lists, I need help deciding between the two. Which is better, if any?

(100)

Colonel Vessery (40) - TIE Defender

Veteran Instincts (1), Proton Rockets (3), Tractor Beam (1), TIE/D (0), Guidance Chips (0)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter

Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

Darth Vader (34) - TIE Advanced

Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

-or-

(96)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter

Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

The Inquisitor (31) - TIE Adv. Prototype

Push The Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

Colonel Vessery (39) - TIE Defender

Veteran Instincts (1), Ion Cannon (3), TIE/D (0)

The second list has room to throw prockets on either Inq or Vessery. The thing I like is super accurate and control-y with everyone at PS8.

Tips/tricks/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The tractor beam hits more often that I thought. Anyone else have tractor beam luck?

I've been using this build lately:

Vessery, VI, Tie/D, TB, Mk2

Inquisitor, PTL, Tie/v1, AT, PRockets

OL, Juke, CR.

98p

It leaves a 2p bid which has come in handy several times. Prockets are an auto-include once you've tried them. I really like the list. I bring the biggest asteroids and try to lure the enemy close, to use the TB on them. Easier said than done, but it's worth it when it works.

So far I'm 10/5/1.

I like this. How about swapping the Mk2 for prockets on Vessery. This way you can throw on chips for an extra crit. Loses the point bid but gains another alpha strike one-time big blast.
