Imperial Aces high, need help here sirs...

By clanofwolves, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I want to get a great, well balanced Imperial Aces vs. Aces list with the best pilots the Impire has, 3 on 3. It'll be a friendly coin toss tournament where the squads are set, a few cool prizes too. I think the 6 (unless you guys have better ideas) should be:

Darth Vader X1 Title + Lightweight Frame + Advance Targeting Computer + Outmaneuver + Prockets
Backdraft
Rage + Advanced Sensors + Sensor Cluster + S/F Title
Inquisitor
Title VI + Push the Limit + Autothrusters + Prockets
Countess Ryad
X7 Title + MkII Engines
Soontir
Push the Limit + Autothrusters + Royal Guard + Stealth Device.
Omega leader
Juke + Comm Relay

Good list? How would you net them out beyond titles and PTL on Soontir? What should the squads be? I tried Soontir, Ryad and Omega vs. Inquisitor, Backdraft and Vader as a test run last night; my dice were solid, I crushed the latter with the former. Let me know if that was a whacked list.

Thanks guys!!

Details......the devil's in the details.

I would possibly consider dropping Vader for a more durable pilot or having Soontir and Omega on opposite teams. Carnor could be a good substitute for Omega and can be built for 31 pts (ptl, autothrusters). What about--

Team 1

Carnor with ptl and autothrusters--31 Backdraft with crackshot, fcs, sensor cluster, lightweight frame, and title--36 Ryad with crack shot and x/7--33

Team 2

Inquisitor with ptl, autothrusters, and title--31 Soontir with ptl and autothrusters--32 Brath with juke and x/7--37

I tried to make the teams balanced and made it so that no team has a built-in initiative bid.

This. My idea too.....thx!

1.)

(100)

Darth Vader (34) - TIE Advanced
Adaptability (0), TIE/x1 (0), Engine Upgrade (4), Advanced Targeting Computer (5)

The Inquisitor (31) - TIE Adv. Prototype
Push The Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

"Quickdraw" (35) - TIE/SF Fighter
A Score To Settle (0), Fire Control System (2), Pattern Analyzer (2), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

2.)

(100)

"Duchess" (26) - TIE Striker
Veteran Instincts (1), Adaptive Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Soontir Fel (35) - TIE Interceptor
Push The Limit (3), Royal Guard TIE (0), Stealth Device (3), Autothrusters (2)

Rexler Brath (39) - TIE Defender
Expertise (4), TIE/x7 (-2)

My personal favourite aces right now are duchess, pure Sabah and countdown. Mainly coz I love the tie Striker, maybe switch someone out for on of those and use the spare points for upgrades. I think that's the best option but I am biased. Best of luck ;) keep backdraft he seems to be having great success at the moment (at least in my group, mainly against fenn)
