Hey everyone! So i usually play empire but i have recently become obsessed with Attanni Mindlink and making it work well. I have played a guri/palob/manaroo list that did really well in a tournament. I am now trying to incorporate ships i hardly ever use. My most recent concept is below and i would deff appreciate feedback!

Kath (44)

Attanni

Ion bomb

Dengar

Tansarii (24)

Attanni

Hvy syk

Mangler cannon

Manaroo (32)

Attanni

K4 security

Unhinged

Any feedback would be great

I don't see what Kath is adding to this list. Mindlink really likes ships that all have the same Pilot Skill (at least if we are talking about ships that have forward firing arcs). You can make it work when PS is different, but there will be times when you are wishing you had complete control over activation order (which you get when PS is all the same).

So with that in mind, I would suggest turning Kath into a Mando Merc. You then at least get to choose activation order between 2 of your ships.

The points you save can then be used to put some ordnance on Manaroo so she can actually hurt things and not just babysit her wingmates with token feeding:

Mando Merc w/ Mindlink + Dengar = 39

Manaroo w/ Mindlink, K4, unhinged + plasma torp = 35

TPV w/ mindlink, 'heavy' + mangler = 24

98

You have 2 points left to play with. Instead of ion bombs, I would suggest something that you will get use out of every single match. Either Extra Munitions on Manaroo, or put Black Market Slicer Tools on both the Mando Merc and Manaroo. These are the new hotness and for good reason. Trust me, you won't regret having them ;)

Thanks for the ideas and feed back. Now i just need wave9 to release! I do like the idea of having the same pilot skill. Ill change it up and try it out! Thanks again

As usual, ill put here my attanni list:

39pts. Mandalorian Mercenary

  • Attanni,
  • Dengar.

31pts. Grand Findsman

  • Attanni,
  • Outlaw Tech/Tactician,
  • Mist Hunter.

and second one or

30pts. Kavil

  • Attanni,
  • Blaster Turret,
  • Unhinged Astromech.

The f31 is really great ship to give attanni, because of it crew slot and nice dial (almost no reds). I found, that g1as are good with it too, as they have some nice white manouvers and system slot (to take fcs and have almost always tl + focus + evade). Y-w with unhinged is really good too, because it has almost same good dial as f31, just is less durable. And overall i dont like scyks, beccause they die to fast and weaken the list early.

I like that. Will get me flying another ship i never do in the g1a

I agree that Kath should be swapped out for a Mando merc. Still, if you wanted to use Kath, tail gunner should add some value to your list. Good synergy ofc with her ability, and between mindlink and Manaroo, making sure Kath has a TL + focus for attacks should not be too difficult. That also opens up 3 pts for a torp on Manaroo.
