Hey, everyone.

Been rolling a list around in my head this morning. I'd like to know your thoughts. The idea behind it is just to have crazy maneuverability, and then when you do hit, make it count.

The Phantom Strikes Back (100 Points)

• "Whisper" with Veteran Instincts, Fire Control System, Intelligence Agent, Advanced Cloaking Device
• "Duchess" with Predator, Adaptive Ailerons, Engine Upgrade
• "Pure Sabacc" with Expertise, Adaptive Ailerons, Engine Upgrade

For the record, I know that the standard Whisper has Agent Kallus but I don't have that card yet, so I figured the Intelligence Agent can help me figure out what I want to do with my re-positioning abilities.

The Striker and Phantom have conflicting Initiative needs.

Also, Whisper needs initiative bid. someone must become less, so he can become greater.....well, i mean last longer. if you get shot at uncloaked your toast.

What is even meant by this?

This. Even if it's just a point or two. Whisper NEEDS to be the one to shoot first. I would suggest dropping Expertise on Pure Sabaac, and give him Predator as well.

The Phantom with ACD wants to shoot first so it can cloak before other pilots of the same PS shoot. Phantoms want initiative. The Striker (especially Duchess) and other repositioning ships want to move after pilots of the same PS. These ships do not want initiative. In short; Phantoms have conflicting initiative needs with arc dodgers. This is why people don't fly Phantoms in the same list as Soontir.
