RAC/Starkiller Base Pilot

By Cgriffith, in X-Wing Squad Lists

What do you think about this list for ship distribution to take focus away from Palpatine? I'm trying to make both ships threats, what adjustments can be made?

Starkiller Base Pilot (40)

Kylo Ren

General Hux

Title

RA Chiraneau (60)

Adaptability

Emperor Palpatine

Engine Upgrade

Title

My thinking was that this list is very effective in creating 2 ships that can push through damage while hopefully soaking up damage and deferring some with Palpatine; I was also considering removing Engine Upgrade to add possibly another crew (Vader, Rebel Captive or Operations Specialist possibly) to the Upsilon Class Shuttle. What are your thoughts, what adjustments could fit best?

My big issue is that you have Kylo and Hux on the same ship, and both of those crew require actions.

Other than that, I think it looks good!

I was yesterday thinking similar build: and my conclusions were similar with Kreen's. Get rid of Palp (you got hell of offence anyway) and upgrade shuttle to Kylo himself with VI - this way you have 2 PS8 fellas. For example:

Kylo + VI + FCS

RAC + EU + Gunner

That tops at 92 points, with everything essential in and im still wondering about last 8 points. Hux on kylo + Vader on RAC seems a bit scary combo. Or EU on Kylo in case he needs to 1v1 someone (that propably WILL happen). Dunno yet.

You could also do the Upsilon Title for a small control element. Upsilon title, Tactician on each gives a lot of stress being tossed around.

Thank you for the advice @Kreen & Vitalis
