Thoughts on this set-up?

By MHamerR8, in X-Wing Squad Lists

The idea from this list is to bait with the Firespray/position well for mine and bomb drops and come up the rear with the defenders sticking together.

Intel Agent is good for when you have ships that have some kind of repositioning ability like barrel roll or boost. Your TIE Defenders have some repositioning but not the Firespray. I see the synergy with the proxy mines but it would only work if you guessed correct on your own maneuver in the planning phase and usually it would be obvious when to drop a mine. Bombardier might be a better choice.

Looks fun and all, but make all pilots ps 3 or drop down to PS 1 on both defenders.

I'd be tempted to do the following.

Bounty Hunter — Firespray-31 33
Cluster Mines 4
Extra Munitions 2
Slave I 0
Ship Total: 39
Delta Squadron Pilot — TIE Defender 30
TIE/x7 -2
Ship Total: 28
Delta Squadron Pilot — TIE Defender 30
TIE/x7 -2
Ship Total: 28

Now, spend the 5 remaining pts on something nice

Best of luck!

Intel Agent i was thinking of using for the firespray if i should drop a bomb or not and focus on another action that round. It can also help the defenders if needed. I never used it so i dont know the full potential it has. Thanks.

It looks like it may even beat championship
