So the Strike comes beautifully packaged for it's points leading to the following. A caution to those with weak hearts.

"Duchess" — TIE Striker 23

Adrenaline Rush 1

Lightweight Frame 2

Adaptive Ailerons 0

Ship Total: 26

"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter 21

Juke 2

Comm Relay 3

Ship Total: 26

"Pure Sabacc" — TIE Striker 22

Veteran Instincts 1

Lightweight Frame 2

Adaptive Ailerons 0

Ship Total: 25

"Omega Ace" — TIE/fo Fighter 20

Adaptability 0

Pattern Analyzer 2

Ship Total: 22

Alternatively you can use Zeta Ace here as well just a matter of preference at that point.

Thoughts?

This is gonna be a beast, but a fragile one. So very fragile.

However, I can foresee it wrecking some face, if you can get things to work in your favour.

What's the ship between Sabacc and Omega Ace?

It's a Ctrl+C+CRtl+V mistake (my guess)

He is using ships of 25 points more or less.

That makes 4 ships total. The list shows 5 ships.

Looks like "Pure Sabacc" clone.

That would be correct. Edited build is at 99

I might suggest swapping out Omega Ace for Zeta Leader and Pattern Analyser for Weapons Guidance. Omega Ace's ability is brutal, but needs support (some way to reliably get target lock + focus on command - either by Push The Limit, an 'off-board' target lock, or whatever.

Zeta Leader isn't 'better' but is more self-sufficient, especially if you're determined to take Adaptability (to have 4 PS8 pilots).
