League night is coming and feel intrigued by :

The Inquisitor (25)
Expertise (4)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)

Thats's 32 pts, ideas on what to pair him with?

Lazy option 2 defenders:

Countess Ryad (34)
Push the Limit (3)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Maarek Stele (TIE Defender) (35)
A Score to Settle (0)
TIE/x7 (-2)

Why give him expertise though? I don't understand the use.

goal: non-PTL Inquisitor so dial is open evey turn while keeping damage output steady with full mods

Dial is open. Action bar is closed. Action bar seems more important on a 4 hp ship.

Wouldn't expertise also be better on a 3 dice base ship?

Inquisitor is basically a 3 attack ship with that ability of his.

I ran the following and did really well with it. You could switch PTL out with expertise and maybe get rid of the twin ion engine on countess or the primed thrusters on backdraft.

The Inquisitor (31 total)
PTL (3)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)

Countess Ryad (35 total)
Juke (2)
Tie/x7 (-2)
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Backdraft (34 total)
VI (1)
Accuracy Corrector (3)
Primed Thrusters (1)
Special Ops Training (0)
Lightweight Frame (2)

True, but I meant one with 3 base to get the extra 4th. The way I see it more dice equals more chances to trigger the EPT.

Eh, with just evade and autos for defence he's going to get swatted.

I ran this list at a regionals event last month and went 3-3:

Omicron Group Pilot — Lambda-Class Shuttle 21
Collision Detector 0
Emperor Palpatine 8
Ship Total: 29

The Inquisitor — TIE Advanced Prototype 25
Expertise 4
Ion Pulse Missiles 3
Autothrusters 2
TIE/v1 1
Ship Total: 35

Countess Ryad — TIE Defender 34
Predator 3
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II 1
TIE/x7 -2
Ship Total: 36

The open dial on the Inquisitor is a powerful thing and can get him out of sticky situations, block higher PS ships, or be the bait in a bait-and-switch plan easily. Even with Palpatine support though he is extremely fragile and must not engage if there is even a chance that the opposing ships will turn in to attack him. This forces an extremely delicate and defensive play style with him that is difficult to master. He is the scalpel of the list and must be flown/applied as such.
