So I have my first tournament tomorrow. 100 points standard.

Soontir Fel: Push the Limit, Targeting Computer 32 pts

The Inquisitor: TIE v/1, Ruthlessness, Ion Pulse Missiles, Guidance Chips 32 pts

Echo: Fire Control System, Advanced Cloaking Device 36 pts

Sadly I don't yet own autothrusters or stealth device cards, otherwise I would use them.

I advise Push the Limit on Inquisitor as well as Fel. That gives him basically 3 actions per turn.

Also, I don't know if you have a copy of Veteran Instincts, but if you do, consider putting it on Echo. Firing and recloaking at PS 8 will be much better than doing them at PS 6. I'd drop the missiles from Inquisitor to get VI on Echo.

I don't unfortunately. Have not bought a firespray yet.

but PTL on the Inquisitor does seem like a better choice than Ruthlessness for the same points.

Echo is a lot of fun to fly, but Whisper's pilot ability is quite a bit better in the long run. The meta has a lot of PS (pilot skill) 6 ships in it at the moment, so Whiper at a 7 is a lot more reliable in cloaking first.

Whispers ability is nice and better in tournaments for sure. That being said i have a pretty decent record with echo against higher PS pilots. I would fly echo above 6 for sure though.

I had echo with a mini howlrunner swarm and anytime i flew against higher PS skill i would fly echo and ties more defensively, staying back and cloaking, and tried to wait for a good time to not cloak and get a good shot in. It involves alot more chance on your decloak though. One game i had to decide between cloaking forward or left, i really thought my opponent was going to turn in the direction of my left cloak so i went forward...wrong move lol. Otherwise i have played it pretty well.

I really like Echo's ability to use the curved template to arc dodge and stay mobile. Especially once I get VI so he's ps8 for sure.
