Palp Aces after BMST

By StriderZessei, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Looking to see what changes Imperials will be making now that stress is more risky for Fel and Inqy.

I'm guessing lists will start using Vader again, maybe coupled with Vessery?

Here's the best I can come up with:

TIE Advanced: · Darth Vader (29)

Predator (3)

Engine Upgrade (4)

TIE/x1 (0)

Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

Lambda-Class Shuttle: Omicron Group Pilot (21)

· Emperor Palpatine (8)

TIE Defender: · Colonel Vessery (35)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

TIE/x7 (-2)

Just run palp jousters (x7 defenders)

Though I highly doubt BMSTs will be even nearly as widespread as some fear

The biggest reasons why they're cool is that they're illicit (not crew) and cost 1 point

Actually fitting enough of them in a list to get to feedback levels of "**** soontir" is not going to be so easy

Something like this?

Lambda-Class Shuttle: Omicron Group Pilot (21)

· Emperor Palpatine (8)

TIE Defender: · Colonel Vessery (35)

Juke (2)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

TIE/x7 (-2)

TIE Defender: · Countess Ryad (34)

Juke (2)

Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

TIE/x7 (-2)

If there's room for ptl on ryad, then yes

Ptl ryad helps set up vess and gives her full mods as well

Drop the mk 2 from vessery and upgrade juke to ptl on ryad. Game changer. Ryad don't care about no slicers.

If you are using palp you really need to run Stele with Juke. Ic been running him with Cherio/palp/VI/EU and it has been awesome. Palp setting up the crit for stele has been amazing. Running him instead of Vess in a palp shuttle list would have to be great as well.

If she's PTLing, she does.
