Got a couple of ideas for Imperial 4-ship lists with everybody shooting at 8.

TIE Striker: · "Pure Sabacc" (22)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Lightweight Frame (2)

Adaptive ailerons (0)

TIE Phantom: · "Echo" (30)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Fire Control System (2)

Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Intelligence Agent (1)

TIE/fo Fighter: · "Zeta Leader" (20)

Adaptability (Increase) (0)

TIE Fighter: · "Scourge" (17)

Adaptability (Increase) (0)

-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

This sort of relies on playing Echo well and hopefully pushing some good damage through on turn one of shooting. Should get 2 4-dice attacks and 2 3-dice attacks if all goes well. The problem is all the EPTs were used to increase pilot skill and nobody really has multiple modifiers aside from Echo's FCS. I do love Echo though.

TIE Striker: · "Pure Sabacc" (22)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Lightweight Frame (2)

Adaptive ailerons (0)

TIE Striker: · "Duchess" (23)

Predator (3)

Adaptive ailerons (0)

TIE/sf Fighter: · "Backdraft" (27)

Adaptability (Increase) (0)

Fire Control System (2)

Lightweight Frame (2)

Special Ops Training (0)

TIE Fighter: · "Scourge" (17)

Adaptability (Increase) (0)

-- TOTAL ------- 99/100p. --

This list has a little bit more spread to the points and doesn't require as good of flying with a phantom. Doesn't hit quite as hard but has Backdraft and Scourge able to fire at a target right on time for their abilities to trigger extra damage or crits.

Looking forward to getting these both on the table and see how I like them.

If your goal is to fly 4 PS8 Imperials, then I think you're doing yourself a disservice by not including Omega Leader. I would argue that he is the best PS8 imperial pilot, and he's hands down the best value. The Inquisitor is also a very competent PS8 pilot. What about something like this?

Omega Leader w/ Comms Relay, Juke

Duchess w/ Predator, Adaptive Ailerons

Scourge w/ Adaptability (+)

The Inquisitor w/ PTL, TIE/v1, AT

At first glance, it seems a bit weaker, as only one of them has a 3 dice primary, but the Inquisitor is always throwing 3 dice w/ TL+F (and Evade for Defense), Duchess has 3 dice w/ a F and reroll, Omega Leader has just two dice (unless R1) but denies not only green dice modification, but also removes a positive E result, and then hopefully by the time Scourge is attacking, there's a damage card and he can roll an additional. None of them are reliant on the others, so you don't have to fly them in any sort of formation, and the kill order doesn't really matter either.

Yeah that is another good one as well. It just didn't seem to fit with them before when trying to get Echo or Backdraft in there. Maybe that's the best way to go and have a pretty well-balanced list instead of having an obvious target.

Backdraft could easily replace The Inquisitor if you'd prefer.

Omega Leader w/ Comms Relay, Juke

Duchess w/ Predator, Adaptive Ailerons

Scourge w/ Adaptability (+)

Backdraft w/ Adaptability (+), FCS, Spec Ops, LWF

Another idea:

Omega Leader (21)

• Juke (2)
• Comms Relay (3)

"Duchess" (23)

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

Tomax Bren (24)

• Unguided Rockets (2)
• Crack Shot (1)
• Lightweight Frame (2)

"Scourge" (17)

• Adaptability (0)
