I recently got into X-Wing a couple of months ago and have been trying to play in local tournaments. However, I have only played in a standard 100 point tournament format. There is an escalation tournament coming up and I am finding out that list building is completely different compared to the standard format. The exact point intervals have not been posted as of yet, but I am assuming it is 60, 90, 120, 150. My resources are limited so I tried to make the best out of what I have or that requires me to buy as few additions as possible. Let me know what you guys think of my list. Any thoughts/critiques are welcome!

60 Point List

​Delta Squadron Pilot with Tie/x7 and Twin Ion Engine

Onyx Squadron Pilot with Tie/x7 and Twin Ion Engine

Total: 60 pts.

90 Point List

Add a Gamma Squadron Veteran with Plasma Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, Homing Missiles, and Guidance Chips

Total: 89 pts.

120 Point List

Add Carnor Jax with Veteran Instincts
​Total: 116 pts.

150 Point List

Add Royal Guard Pilot

Add Academy Pilot

Total: 150 pts.

Vessery, VI, X-7

Omega L with CommR and Juke

for 60 pts.

You lose some hit points but pack more punch with Vessery.

and i'm not an expert, but to me, it seems that Carnor without PTL loses positioning power for a pilot who need to go R1 to troll the opponent.

If you want it "naked" better with autothrusters, and still 28 points
