The list link

The idea of the list is to replace epsilon leader as the forth wingman with a bomber shuttle. Omega Leader and Zeta Leader attack first, so they both use their juke + evade combo. Omage Ace attack last, take away the evade tokens of the two others in order to use swarm leader. Obviously the 4 guaranteed crits are never welcomed by the opponent.
The drawbacks are that it is more difficult to handle stress, and that the bomber does not generate evade tokens.
However the strong point is that the other Ties in the list benefit from 2 focus and 1 target-lock free tokens. Futhermore the Tie shuttle with the lightweight frame is more durable than Epsilon leader.

What do you guys think ?

Omega Ace could use pattern analyzer instead, so that they could be less predictable when setting up the killshot. It seems like a fine list either way, though.

You *really* don't want to be taking OL's evade token every round. And if you plan to, the Comm Relay is a real waste of points.

If I was looking at OA with Swarm Leader I'd look at including Epsilon Ace with Targetting Synchroniser. 5-crit attacks? Yes please.

I like the list, but I'm worried that it doesn't do anything that Palp Defenders doesn't do better. Defenders are more durable, harder hitting, and you've got Palpatine instead of Omega Ace's modifiers. Four critical hits aren't as useful as you'd think; two hits + two crits does the same thing when evade dice cancel the first two.

As for in-game tactics, Omega Ace is especially vulnerable. TIE/fo fighters pop pretty easily, even with focus + evade tokens.

Looks like a fun list. Just be wary of spending the evades at the wrong time on OL and Zeta Leader.

This is one of my worries indeed, I thought that spending the evade at the first salvo is maybe not the best idea. Perhaps it is better to use them while the ships are dogfighting. I still have to play the list to have a better idea about that part.
