Rauboats without Attanni?

By LifeGain, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I really like PTL Fenn. People I play are used to Attanni, but I think they will be surprised by PTL Fenn. How do you think this list would do in a competitive environment?

Contracted Scout with Adaptability, Proton Torpedoes, Glitterstim, Boba Fett, and Guidance Chips

Contracted Scout with Adaptability, Plasma Torpedoes, Glitterstim, and Guidance Chips

Fenn Rau with PTL, Title, Autothrusters, and Plasma Torpedoes

Total: 99

Looks like a fun list. The torps on Fenn nice touch. I would go with extra munitions on the scouts. they come in very handy.

Attani opens Fenns VERY agile dial, allowing for those 2-speed Talon Rolls. PtL is good for just any two actions (eg: boost & barrel), but Attani gives everyone a Focus, without stress, and is incredibly effecient for a single point.

Basically, you can never go wrong with PtL, it just restricts Fenn into his green maneuvers.

As for the 'Boats, I would swap out Adaptability for Trick Shot. Unless you have a specific need for being PS 2/4, having the extra die to mitigate rock defense is invaluable. I also agree with Blackjack, and would try and find room for Extra Munitions. However, having the Proton & Boba does allow the removal of upgrade.

It comes down to whether you prefer more than one heavy punch for your boats, or the utility of removing upgrades.

You could always just run PTL Fenn and Atanni Jumps without the Boba crew for 100 points

It does look like fun, but honestly, Attani Mindlink is waaaay too good to not take, even over the go-too Ace card of PTL. Those focus keep him hitting and alive better that stressed positioning IMO. And Boba is a must-have.

But hey, you might have the new FennBoats and kill in the upcoming Store Championships.

Thanks for all of the replies so far! After playing with it some, I think I will be going to attanni since it is amazing. What about this new list?

Fenn with Attanni, Title, and Autothrusters
Jumpmaster #1 with Attanni, Proton Torpedoes, Extra Munitions, Boba Fett, Rigged Cargo Chute, and Guidance Chips
Jumpmaster #2 with Attanni, Plasma Torpedoes, Zuckuss, Feedback Array, and Guidance Chips

Total: 98

Have you thought about Kadboats?

This might work well with Mindlink since Kad can get focus, even if he stresses:

Contracted Scout [Extra Munitions, Proton Torpedoes, Boba Fett, Unhinged Astromech, Attanni Mindlink] (34)
Contracted Scout [Extra Munitions, Proton Torpedoes, Unhinged Astromech, Attanni Mindlink] (33)
Kad Solus [Attanni Mindlink, Proton Torpedoes, Concord Dawn Protector, Autothrusters] (33)

Really consistent, and seems like fun. I haven't flown it, but might now.
