Thoughts on this

Ryad, x7, Lone wolf, Stealth device

QD title, rage, baffle

omicron palp

If flown right could throw 12-16 dice at a target in the first combat round. QD would probably be a first target maybe palp. In either case Ryad would probably be left until last which is where the Lone wolf really kicks in. 4 greens, 1 focus, 1 evade and 1 reroll in defence. Also means her attack is 3 red 1 reroll and a focus (if focus not used).

This squad also leaves a strong initiative bid which can really help QD fire that shot at another PS9 before they token up.

Was considering Baffle on palp as well but that only leaves 2pt int bid.

I think Lone Wolf works much better on higher pilot skill defenders, like Rexler. However I did have a boatload of fun with Ryad/x7/LW/Engine Upgrade. You can 2k and boost, or 3 turn and boost, or 5k and whatever. Just makes you far less predictable. You can adjust your arc just about anywhere each turn with that loadout which I would want more in an endgame situation. I'd take that over an initiative bid and just aim for blocking the opponent's ps9 aces in this list.

As for QD, I like PTL Baffle more than Rage Baffle. You can adjust your arc with a roll or get two modifiers before firing that first shot (rage does this too, just at the expense of a green maneuver next turn). Or you could upgrade Omicron to Yorr to help with QD's stress. I think you probably shouldn't mind if the opponent makes that call, but I can see you wanting to outbid Fel if he's a problem in your area. I would think that most PS9 aces going against this list would want to take the initiative for tokens, letting QD arcdodge if need.

If I were facing this list, QD would be my first target until he's out of shields, then Ryad must die (of course getting opportune shots on the shuttle if its there)
