Looking for squad list that are special (meaning very unconventional), but can be very good WHEN working hard with and changing a bit the classical way of playing. Hard to explain, but for example such as A-wing crack swarm or good atanni mind link lists, feed back array swarms.
Any ideas? The crazier the better
PS: Please nothing like "if you train hard you can win with everything"
Quad TLT was so 2015. Penta HWK ABT is the new black

You mean with vectored thrusters?
Sable Gryphon had a really cool list he talked about on the latest S&V podcast - it's pretty pricey to run w/o proxies but it certainly fits the bill as unconventional:
18 Scimitar w/ title, Tactician
19 Scimitar w/ title, Tactician, Intel Agent
20 Scimitar w/ title, Tactician, Agent Kallus
21 Scimitar w/ title, Tactician, Rebel Captive
22 Scimitar w/ title, Darth Vader, Hull Upgrade

Interesting, I actually didn't think about vectored thrusters. I figured you could toss in your flavor of 1 and 2 point crew members. But barrel-rolling ABT HWKs would be fun

Depends how you spent your points, personally I favour charisma and intelligence which works fine as long as you have three points in strength and endurance.
I'm still waiting on having a free mess day to run 5x Scimitars with Tacticians, and a smattering of other crew. Also 5x Scimitars with Seismics and EM. I've run them with 5 Proxy mines, 2 with EM, and one of them gets bumped to Deathfire. Utter chaos. Entire areas of the board were off limits.
Cloak and dagger
3 x Sigma, IA, SPA
Backstabber
I am something like 30-7 with this list. (yes, I play it alot. By miles the mst fun list I've ever flown)
It can handle anything that does not like to be blocked, so most things. ps 1-2, advs, bb8, tlt's are not much fun thou. Setting up that first round of fire is the key. Vs. aces, you will probably be cloaked for the first round of fire, and then, with IA working, you bring the hammer down hard. If 3xCS is common in your area, drop stabber down to an obsidian for a 3 point bid. If 97 pts CS are common, bring ehanced scopes on the phatoms. But stabber is the better choice vs. anything else, often drawing fire away from the far more dangeros phantoms.
Hope you try it. Very tricky and rewarding list to fly!
the answer is bombs
plays literally like nothing else the game can offer, especially advanced-SLAM Wardens
case and point: you can u-turn to victory
(ion was a stand-in for wep's disabled)
that's
Warden
-conners
-extras
-a-SLAM
-autoblaster turret
biggs
-r4-d6
-integrated
miranda
-sabine
-seismic
-extra
-TLT
Edited by ficklegreendiceI am always in favour of more bombs. Easily the most fun mechanic in the game.

Because bombs crazy combos and auto damage is the answer!
I am running Miranda w/ Sabine, proximity mines, conners, EM, TLT, proton bombs and a guardian w/ bombadier, conners, TLT, EM, proton bombs. I am having a blast by getting multiple ships with each proton bomb. Took 2nd in a small tournament yesterday.

Mara jade doesn't work well with ships that are already stressed.
Delta/D/Tractor Beam/Mk2
Delta/D/Ion Cannon/Mk2 x2.
I've not yet tried it, and I'm not going to except on Vassal, but it seems like it should be hilarious. The potential for shepherding big ships off the board is just funny. Especially if you can catch them stressed.
Edited by thespaceinvaderTook this to a double asteroids tournament. Was fun.
