I love the Tie/fo. I love it's dial, it's available actions, it's stats and of course I love Omega leader.

With this in mind of got myself 5 of the little beauties and I'm planning on fielding the Omega squadron -

Omega leader + Juke + com relay

Omega Ace + push the limit + engine mk ll

Omega squadron pilot + Crackshot

Omega Squadron pilot + Crackshot

Omega squadron pilot + Crackshot

I know it won't be pulling up any tree's but has anyone used this squad? Any suggestions on what I could swap out? Maybe drop Omega Ace?

Maybe I should just fly the squad and prove to myself that a strong theme is not a strong squad

Why drop Omega Ace and ruin the theme? I'm not convinced push/engine is the best combo on the ace but YMMV.

I mean yeah, strong theme doesn't necessarily translate into strong squad

It could if you give into the temptation to use the far superior Zeta Leader over omega ace

Theme A+, I've recently been running 5 Omega's with Crack and Weapons Guidance. It's been fun, but the end game can be difficult sometimes so I upgraded one to Omega Leader and downgraded one to Wampa. Not all Omega themed but still pretty fun and pretty good.

Am I missing something or is that 104 pts??

What if you run it with a squad leader

Omega's (99)

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

Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

"Omega Ace" (20) - TIE/FO Fighter

Omega Squadron Pilot (18) - TIE/FO Fighter

Crack Shot (1)

Darth Vader (35) - TIE Advanced

Squad Leader (2), TIE/x1 (0), Stealth Device (3), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

Oh...yeah. Your right JSwindy, don't know what I was thinking of!

Well that makes the squad even less competitive.

So that is a bare bones Omega Ace, equals a rubbish Omega Ace, or another Omega pilot plus crack shot and 2 pts to spend on...initiative?

Or give Omega Leader PTL + engine mk ll and then OA can have crack shot as well?

Feels like I'm making everything a bit worse to fit in a single crack shot but it's still on theme...!

God no OL wants Juke/Comm or you're not using him. He may as well come with the cards stapled to him.

he does come with the cards airtight sealed in the same pack

WHich is why a lot of people are suspicious I guess, it's not like FFG to include all the cards for a strong build in one pack :V

Yeah, Omega Ace is terrible. When I first got the TIE f/o expansion, I looked as his ability and thought "That could be interesting, I'll test it out." I've literally never thought about including him in another list since. I came close to throwing away the card he's that bad.

Ha, yeah you think "All I got to do is PTL for a target lock and focus and it a solid 2 crits each time". And the one time in the game it actually happens like that? They roll 2 evades.

Ok, 4 x Omega squadron pilots + crack shot and Omega leader plus the usual load out it is. Just a shame I can't get at least a crack shot OA in there...
