New(ish) to X-Wing. Have a starter list that I would like advice about.

By Opjimus, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello FF X-Wing Community. This is my first post about X-Wing, and I've only been playing for a short while. I've had experience (22+ years) with other games, so I can typically grasp ideas quickly, so feel free to throw any advice at me that you wish. I'm a huge fan of the Imperial/FO ships, so I decided to start there. I have a fairly limited supply of ships at the moment, but that can be remedied pretty quickly (save for getting Palp from the Raider set. Wife's got a temper :P). Here's the list:

"Omega Grimlock" - 99 points (for initiative bid)

Lambda Shuttle - Colonel Jendon, Weapons Engineer, Collision Detector, ST 321.

Omega Leader - Juke, Comm Relay

Omega Ace - Comm Relay

Howlrunner

I know that I'm not the first person to use Jendon for TL transfer, and I've seen a few lists online that try to utilize this combination, especially with Omega Ace. After these two ships, the lists begin to vary, and I've yet to find a list that tries to use his boss Omega Leader. He benefits greatly from having TL, so I figured the synergy was good enough to warrant his inclusion. With the way that I believe this list will fly, I think that Howlrunner is the best I can do with the remaining points. I've tried to tweak the upgrades a bit to try to fit in other ships, but it just seems like this is the best combination of ships and upgrades without having anything really wasted.

The initial plan is to hopefully set up with all the ships within Range 1 of each other, so they have the network set up. Jendon TL's two ships, and hands one of the TL's off to the Omega Leader or Omega Ace Omega Leader and Omega Ace use the otherwise useless action to perform an Evade action and acquire Evade tokens that will remain until used thanks to Comm Relay. Howlrunner sits back with Jendon, while the Omegas take the front line. The next turn will be similar, but Jendon will hand off the other TL to the other Omega, and then focusing if within range of an attack, which will be bolstered further by Howlrunner. This will hopefully make Jendon's first (and perhaps only) attack as worthwhile as possible before he's forced to chase his own tail. With Omega Ace and Jendon alive, every attack from Omega Ace will result in a crit, as he will gain a TL and Focus every turn to spend for his ability.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback about this list, since it's the first list that I've come up with that I felt was worth threading about. Is it tournament worthy? Can it hold up against whatever the current main meta is? Let me know what you think, and thank you in advance.
