The Imperial Inquisiton

By ChewfalconSolo, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I did some working around on this list and finally got what may appear to be a final version going.

Without further ado.

The Inquisitor

Tie Adv. Prototype

Autothrusters

TIE/v1

Adaptability

Squad Point total:28

"Deathrain"

Tie Punisher

Extra Munitions

Conner Net

Seismic Charges

Enhanced Scopes

Long Range Scanners

Squad Point total:35

Captain Yorr:

Lambda Class Shuttle

Rebel Captive

Flechette Cannon

Sensor Jammer

Mara Jade

Squad Point total:36

Total Points:99

The idea here is to have the Punisher be a wingman to Yorr while he absorbs and deals stress (Through Rebel Captive and Mara Jade).

The Punisher will be sort of escorting with ordinance and hopefully ionizing a lot of targets with 2 Connor Nets. As well as just plain blowing stuff up with Seismic Charges.

The Inquisitor was needed for extra firepower. The Omega Leader who I had in this list originally did not have consistently good enough attack strength to keep up damage.

So. What do you think?

Why Yorr? Just to beat PS3? Because I wouldn't expect his pilot ability to kick in much, if ever, in a list like this.

I worry about your firepower-- more specifically, the lack thereof. Deathrain's bombs are nice but it's only a few points of damage and he's got a two dice primary. The shuttle shoots well, but you have a Flechette on it. I understand why-- it's so you can combo with Deathrain's nets to land the coveted ion+stress combo. The trouble is that it further limits your damage output since a Flechette can only do one point. That leaves Inqi as your "heavy hitter", and he isn't hitting particularly hard with only Adaptability. And Inqi's also your only late-game ship, as Deathrain will run out of bombs and the shuttle will get flanked, and with that loadout I don't think he's up to the task.

If you wanted someone to fly in formation with Deathrain to go for the ion-stress combo, consider a new Defender with Flechette and TIE/D. You'll gain a lot of firepower in that trade.

I do like where you're now taking this. But how would you re format this list in that light?

Mara Jade was one of the reasons I started off on this list. The cannons just fit the idea so I threw them on (I'll admit I tend to suck at building anything in gaming).

But I liked the Shuttle. So I used it as the base for this list, and since I love Death Rain, I opted for him here as well.

But please tell me how you would tweak this! I really want to know!
