So for various reasons I want to try a list with PS10 imperial pilots, of which I think there are only three that are viable. Grateful for thoughts here.

There's 2/3 points left over I could use on bombs or other ordnance. But I'm not really sure what's going to serve me best.

Quickdraw doesn't really have much speed or repositioning jank, Vader doesn't have Autothrusters or as much consistent offensive bite.

The RAC is mostly default, Dauntless to boost through any bumps or take actions as needed, Inspiring Recruit there in case if double stress.

VT-49 Decimator: · Rear Admiral Chiraneau (46)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Gunner (5)
Hotshot Co-pilot (4)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
· Dauntless (2)

Total=63

TIE Advanced: · Darth Vader (29)
Adaptability (Increase) (0)
Engine Upgrade (4)
TIE/x1 (0)
Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

Total=34

TIE/sf Fighter: · "Quickdraw" (29)
Adaptability (Increase) (0)
Fire Control System (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Special Ops Training (0)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
Total=35

Cheers!

I don't know about the value of Dauntless and Inspiring Recruit on RAC. Between Gunner and his pilot ability, he just doesn't care that much if he doesn't get his actions. I would be tempted to Drop Dauntless and replace Inspiring Recruit with Vader crew so that you can reliably dish out the hurt to slippery Aces. Gunner RAC is one of the few ships in the game that can be guaranteed to delete Fenn in 2 turns of firing if necessary.

I am not convinced that Pattern Analyzer is a great buy for Quickdraw, particularly without a self-stressing mechanism. With RAC to strip Focus tokens, I rather like Sensor Jammer for extra protection and then Predator to provide rerolls. This bumps up the price a bit of course. Here is a PS9 list I have flown a couple of times very successfully.

62 RAC (46), Adaptability (0), EU (4), Gunner (5), Hotshot Copilot (4), Vader (3)
38 Quickdraw (29), Predator (3), Sensor Jammer (4), Lightweight Frame (2), Special Ops Training (0)

I get your point about dauntless, however, I've been able to boost through a lot of small base ships that have gotten good blocks in quite a lot of times. Certainly something to consider changing though.

That Quickdraw build with Hotshot RAC is brilliant!
