Tansarii Point Veteran (25) x 4 M3-A “Scyk” Interceptor (17)

-Fearlessness (1)

-“Heavy Scyk” Interceptor (2)

-Autoblaster (5)

Here is one list that I did theorycraft last night, I have high hopes to this list, but want to try out also same list with Attanni Mindlink, but I feel like getting that one free guaranted hit from Fearlessness is something pretty awesome!

What you guys think of this? Now that we have that extra hull for Scyks really got my hopes up for these litte devils that have been one of my favorites forever, but lack of hit points just always took me to another list..

Replace 2x the auto's with manglers

Fly em in pairs to cover each other

Fearlessness with an Autoblaster is scary as, but actually getting the shot is going to be hard. Worth it, though.

I wouldn't take Attani Mindlink autoblasters. Attani Mindlink messes with your ability to K-turn and maneuver whilst stressed (although it's good at getting tokens despite stress), and the restrictive range/arc limitation of the autoblaster may make that a problem.

Mindlink - if I was taking mindlink, I'd be more bothered about being able to engage at multiple ranges, so would probably downgrade to a mix of manglers, ion cannons and tractor beams.

I agree with the above. Keep things diverse. Personally i would try the following

TPV X2

Fearlessness

Autoblaster

Title

TPV

Mindlink

HLC

Title

TPV

Mindlink

Tractor Beam

Title

98 points

(TPV=Tansarii Point Veteran)

So you have two Scyks that can rush into Range 1 for some scary damage and you have a tractor beam to bring ships in proper position to be murdured (good chance of hitting due to tokens from Mindlink). The HLC Scyk stays back and snipes. Question would be whether it would be worth it for all the Scyks to be Mindlinked.

That's a very nice list. Scyks are surprisingly good at slow-rolling into range thanks to those green '1' banks that manouvrable few swarm ships have, whilst the combination of tractor beam and autoblaster is a logical one I'm surprised I've not seen suggested before.

PS5. What kind of target do you wanna shoot with AB? That's my biggest fear. I don'care about AB if I'm going to shoot at Z-95 or tiefighters. Maybe if you have a bumper...?

but even so, how much time you will trigger Fearlessness?

At this point, AM still better:

That's the list I will fly. But AB+Fearlessness on PS5...I don't think it will be work. What kind of targets are you looking for? range 1, arc-in eachother...don't know how many aces you will bring down.

And without a 1 straight?...meh, it's over my fly skill :-S

Still, it's just a tought, never tried it before. Send us your feedback
