Now that a bunch of list drop their ps in favor of cool abilities could it be time to bring in some higher ps squads to help keep the meta diverse? Here is my list that runs three ps 9s

Quickdraw

title

Rage

Baffle

Soontir

PTL

Title

Stealth device

AT

Vader

Title

Adv. Target systems

Engine upgrade

Interesting that no one has replies. I like it, I think the masses are down on QuickDraw before she even came out of the box. I'll try this list, seems right up my alley.

If you are looking for variety a 34 pt Inq can slot in instead of Vader. Or you can go adaptability to keep them all PS9. That would give 3pts left to give QD stealth device. The baffle-rage still works because stealth device says you loose the dice when you are hit by an attack.

The sheer amount of QuickDraw haters are staggering. I don't find Vader to trump the perk abilities that inquisitor provides an aces list. Inquisitor provides the threat of jousting and with his range abilities I can see this being a bit more of a revamped imp ace list.

I will definitely try this out but I look forward to taking others down who overlooked the PS of their pilots.

Also as a side note I left vader without an ept on purpose, the first is that imps to the 9s sound better than two 9s and a vader and 2nd keeping them all the same ps means control of order of activations for them as well as for shooting, something I feel is very underwhelmingly used to be able to untangle fur balls and let's you keep the strongest hitter for last

I am just wondering how good QD will be without MkII - this upgrade makes it much easier to get rid of the second stress to trigger Rage 3 turns in a row.

So, I would suggest to drop EU on Vader and take MkII engines on QD and you have 3 points to spend on Vader (CS, Juke, Predator?) or keep some to have a bid.

I made this build a while back:

Vader (Adaptability, TIE/x1 title, Advanced Targeting Computer, Engine Upgrade)

Quickdraw (Adaptability, Fire-Control System, Special Ops Training, Twin Ion Engine Mk. II)

Soontir (Push the Limit, Royal Guard TIE, Autothrusters, Targeting Computer)

100 points

You could remove Adaptability on both Vader and Quickdraw to keep them all at PS 9.

In my experience so far the 1 bank and straight have been all I need to clear the second stress from rage. Mk 2 engines is still a good idea though. If you can make it without it though, do. Even 1 extra point spent on her is hard to justify (for me).

Just an idea, if you subbed Engine on Vader for a Missile and Guidance Chips, you could have a hybrid Ace/High PS alpha strike list. You'd have Fel's attack, a 4 hit throw by Vader, and two modded attacks from Quickdraw. 4 serious attacks at PS 9 is not something a lot of lists are prepared for. Engine-less Vader isn't as shifty, but you still have the Barrel Roll.
