Hi,

I've been a fan of the game for a long time, but rarely get a chance to play. I'm kicking around ideas for a friendly but still competitive tournament coming up. I'll likely be the only baby seal getting clubbed, so I want list that most of all is manageable for me. I don't want too many magic combinations and dependencies on ship to another. I'm still at the level of figuring out moving and shooting so, I'm picking ships that give a lot of liberty in that regard and also can handle what comes their way.

A list I'm working on is the following:

"Ladies Choice" (Imp 100)

[Defender] Countess Ryad - PTL, MkII engine, Tie/D, Flechette cannon. (40)

[Striker] "Duchess" - LWFrame, Ailerons, (Pattern analyzer?)(Swarm Leader?)

[TIE/sf] "Quickdraw" - Rage, elec baffle, MkII, Spec OPs (32)

Any tips on gearing them up, or changes recommended?

Thanks in advance!

Well, Duchess cannot equip Pattern Analyzer, and I don't think that Swarm Leader is the right choice with the list you have. I find that Expertise works well on her, as it had the same no-stress-request that Ailerons does.

Ryad...might not want TIE/D, nor would she want a Flechette. Any other cannon is generally going go be better, and you might want an EPT like Expertise or Predator or Vessery that will give consistent dice mods for your double tap.

Otherwise looks fun! Good luck!

Ryad (34)

• PTL (3)
• TIE/x7 (-2)
• TIE mk. II (1)

"Duchess" (23)

• Predator (3)
• Ailerons (0)
• Lightweight Frame (2)

"Quickdraw"

• Rage (1)
• Electronic Baffle (1)
• Sensor Cluster (2) / Weapons Guidance (2) [Not sure which is better]
• Spec Ops Training (0)
• Lightweight Frame (2)

Total 99

This is a pretty forgiving list maneuvering wise w/ a balance between offense and damage mitigation. You have two good end game ships between OL and Ryad. You want OL end game but Ryad ain't too shabby especially if you're ahead in points.

Good comments all thanks. I was at work, so didn't quite have Duchess figured out on the fly. I do like her with Predator - sounds like a pretty good automatic fix.

I have run Ryad with a cannon, since shooting twice was nice. However, the X7 mod looks pretty good - especially since I'll no doubt be getting shot often. I haven't looked at what the infamous nerf did to X7, but I think it got degraded.

@RevJJ - I like your list too, it looks like it's easy to fly - like I'm looking for, but, I've really been looking forward to flying a Striker and Countess has my attention.

I'll mull this over and see what comes up. Thanks so much for the advice.
