Straight outta Mos Eisley

By Suro Kawa, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Hello,

Limited to use small, front-arc ships only in our next league round. This is wat I have at the moment but I still have some room to fill in 4 points and still have initiative bid. Should I put some torps on the starfighters or fill in the HWK? All input is much appreciated! Kind regards, Suro

95 points

PILOTS

Old Teroch (30)
Protectorate Starfighter (26), Attanni Mindlink (1), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

Fenn Rau (32)
Protectorate Starfighter (28), Attanni Mindlink (1), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

Palob Godalhi (33)
HWK-290 (20), Attanni Mindlink (1), Twin Laser Turret (6), Recon Specialist (3), Moldy Crow (3)

1 - Engine Upgrade on Palob: use for range control and help turning around with the worst dial in the game.

2 - Vectored Thrusters on Palob and Flechette Torpedo on one Protectorate: Range control for Palob, stress 1 enemy ship

3 - Flechette Torpedo on both Protectorates: double stress 1 enemy ship or stress 2 enemy ships

4 - Seismic Torpedo on both Protectorates: get rid of pesky debris fields thay could hurt your Mindlink, and possibly damage enemy ships.

5 - EMP Device and Vectored Thrusters on Palob: Range control for Palob and a chance to ionize your opponent.

You said front arc only ships, are they going to allow the turret on the HWK? This seems like a format that is going to go super high PS aces for arc dodging, you could try to throw in some feedback Z-95s.

Have you thought about maybe Talonbane Cobra with Engine Upgrade and Attanni in place of the HWK? Having Two ships at range one shooting 5 dice and one that strips tokens seems hard to beat, especially when focus firing onto one target.
