Almost triple aces advice.

By Salacious Crumb, in X-Wing Squad Lists

First off I don't have autothrusters.

I'm looking for advice on if you think this list will do ok in a tournement. None are the optimum build, but are they ok as is or is there something I'm not thinking of to make them better?

99 points Pilots ------

“Whisper” (37)

TIE Phantom (32), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Soontir Fel (33)

TIE Interceptor (27), Push the Limit (3), Stealth Device (3)

The Inquisitor (29)

TIE Advanced Prototype (25), TIE/v1 (1), Stealth Device (3)

I don't really like flying Whisper and Soontir together, just because they have conflicting initiatives. Whisper wants to shoot first, and Soontir wants to move last. Also, stealth device hurts when you don't have palp. I've actually had some success with tie mkii engines on my PTL interceptors, makes them slightly less predictable with green 3 banks.

Autothrusters, you want them, which free's up to point for Kallus, unfortunately not for ptl for the Inquisitor. I like the idea, but I am not sure on running the Inquisitor without ptl and even without ept at all. Adaptability for sure would be interesting to bring them all too 9 and focus down fast anything which comes at 9 or more to to establish that PS advantage.

Still, not sure if you idea really works. Worth a few test games at least.

If you dont have autothrusters, a triple ace list could be like:

Whisper + VI + FCS + Adv Cloak = 39pts

Vader + Adapt + Sensor Jammer + EU = 33pts

Omega Leader + Juke + Comms = 26pts

w/ 2pt init bid

or with same ships:

Vader + adapt + ATC + EU = 34pts

Echo + VI + FCS + Adv Cloak + Intel Agent = 38pts

Omega Leader + Juke + Comms = 26pts

2pt initiative bid

Whisper, FCS, Vi, Gunner, ACD, 44 pts

Inquisitor, ptl, title, at, 31

OL, Juke, Comms, 26,

101, damnit. I remember why I did not run this before. *g*

Echo would fit, but with PS8 she got some problems against nearly all aces who gonna shoot and kill her first. Might still be worth a try, if you can arc dodge based on her ability than all would be fine.

You could do:

Whisper/FCS/VI/ACD 39pts

Soontir/Title/PtL/AT/SD 35pts

Omega Leader/Comm/Juke 26pts

Sure, Soontir and Whisper have conflicting initiative goals, but that could work out OK since you´re not spending points on a bid anyway (so at least one of the two PS9s will benefit). Besides, you might not be facing a PS9 anyway.

In any case three awesome pilots that happen to be fun to fly and a pain to play against.
