That list you thought was just for giggles but did really well

Oh, and then there is "Imperial Meat"....I used to fly this when I had a beer or two on board and could borrow a Lambda, haha!

I've been wondering how my old "Prince and the New Power Revolution" Xizor list would do these days. I'd like to fly it soon, if I get the chance. It did amazing back in the days of Turret-wing and destroyed Bro Bots. I would've made Regionals top 16 cut if my dice hadn't just gone artic cold. I couldn't even get a Decimator to half hull.

Prince Xizor (31)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Flechette Torpedoes (2)
Fire-Control System (2)
Black Market Slicer Tools (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Virago (1)

Binayre Pirate (12)

Total: 100

The only change I did was to put in Black Market Slicer Tools instead of Inertial Dampners. With FCS, you don't need the action as often, but might get to hit someone like Fenn Rau.

The trick will be all about the blockage. If I can block Fenn Rau away from R1 from most of the list, I think it would blast him.

That's a neat idea. I wonder if my 2PL and Countdown would be better as 2PL and Howl...

That could because the re-rolls are super nice on a the three, three dice minimum attacks. Imperial Meat really does throw a lot of red dice and is actually easy to fly as Howl can fly where she wants within the beefcakes. I tried dropping a Lambda to fuff up the ships with mods like gunner on the RAC and tactician on a Shuttle, etc. but the modded lists couldn't do as well as the naked overweight list shown; in my less-than-skilled hands anyway. Fun list that wins more than you'd imagine.
