In that case, very nice Stress Bomber build. I'll have to try it out.

It's absurd fun on the table. Most games, not only does he deal some stress, but he's the highest damage dealer too.

If I'm honestly looking at the objectively best/most competitive build for each ship, I think it goes like this:

TIE Fighter: WAMPAAAA!

As someone who plays against Wampa regularly, I have to agree. Just a pain in the *** that you can't ignore, or you feel is a waste to engage. Invaluable.

Are you actually going to update this to keep everything?

If we keep picking up momentum, yup. This has been good to see what people think. Gathered some ideas as well!

Firespray-31; debatable if one exists tbh

Lambda-Class Shuttle; debatable if one exists tbh

TIE Advanced; Vader with x1, ATC, Engine, and an EPT, current good options are VI, Predator, Juke, Lone Wolf, Adaptability, but Intensity looks like it will also go very well on Vader. Add Proton Rockets with spare points.

TIE Advanced Prototype; Inquisitor/v1/PTL/Autothrusters, add Proton Rockets with spare points.

TIE Aggressor; (Pending Release) difficult to tell without the dial but probably the low PS Generic with TLT, Lightweight Frame. Neither of the named pilots seem up to enough to merit a lot of investment.

TIE Bomber; 3 flavours: Deathfire/EM/Conner Net/Some Missile/Guidance Chips (or just EM Conner Frame, or EM Conner Frame Unguided Rockets once the Aggressor drops) for the low PS control piece; Tomax/Crack Shot/Chips/EM/Homing Missile for the high PS alpha, Scimitar/Fleet Officer/Systems Officer/TIE Mk2 for the support shuttle (or upgrade to GSV/Wingman potentially)

TIE Defender; /x7 and Juke, unless you're Ryad in which case /x7, PTL, Mk2, or Vessery who gets VI.

TIE Fighter; play a Rebel one or go home sadly. Crack Shot is the best build. Better in Epic play.

TIE Interceptor; expanding cloud of debris, mostly. PTL/RGP.Autothrusters/Stealth or Hull or Shield or Targetting Computer is the best build. Better in Epic play.

TIE Phantom; VI/Fire Control System/Advanced Targetting Computer/a crew of your choice if you have space, and the generics aren't worth running.

TIE Punisher; lol. Better in Epic play, and Deathrain is hella fun even if he is way way too expensive.

TIE Striker; Sabacc/VI/Frame/Ailerons with some support from something to give him rerolls.

TIE/fo Fighter; Omega Leader/Juke/Comm Relay is still the king.

TIE/sf Fighter; FCS/Targetting Synchroniser/Frame/Title is awesome, Intensity/Comm Relay/FCS is gonna be good when the Aggressor drops, and unusually, both named pilots and at the very least the EPT generic are actually decent, and QD and BD are both top tier.

Upsilon-Class Shuttle; debatable if one exists. Certainly, one hasn't really been identified yet. It's too expensive to be a pure support ship, but too lumbering and vulnerable to being flanked to function well as a gunship.

VT-49 Decimator; RAC/VI/HotCoP/Gunner/Engine with Vader or Rebel Captive.

Tomax Bren (31)

Tie Bomber (24), Crackshot (1), Tie Shuttle (0), Twin Ion Engine Mk.II (1), Tactician (2), Rebel Captive (3)

It's just a big ol' stress machine.

So we gonna add rockets to him once the Aggressor is out?

Yep. For 29 points he's a pretty solid damage dealer.

Tomax Bren (24)
Crack Shot (1)
Unguided Rockets (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)

Total: 29

You can add bombs to him as well if you have the points.

For a moment, consider the meta irrelevant. (Understandably a challenge right now)

Consider the GAME. 100 point squads not a factor. It comes down to what do YOU think is the best build for each ship (upcoming cards included). Answer as many or as little as you'd like, and feel free to edit. No need for detail or justification, just SHARE!

Firespray-31; No idea.

Lambda-Class Shuttle; Doomshuttle. Just Vader for 24 points. Sure, it isn't anywhere near as easily used as a Decimator with Vader, but it also costs less than half the points.

TIE Advanced; Vader with intensity, title, ATC for 32 points of power.

TIE Advanced Prototype; No discussion here, The Inquisitor with PTL, title, Autothrusters.

TIE Aggressor; (Pending Release) Probably Kestal with TLT, LWF, and Predator.

TIE Bomber; Gamma Squadron Vet with Homing Missiles, EM, Crack Shot and LRS.

TIE Defender; Vessery with x7 and Crack Shot.

TIE Fighter; Black Squadron Pilot with Crack Shot makes for an excellent filler.

TIE Interceptor; Pretty close between Carnor and Soontir, but ultimately it is Soontir with PTL, Autothrusters, and Targeting Computer.

TIE Phantom; Buzzsaw Whisper with VI, FCS, Gunner, ACD

TIE Punisher; Redline with Collision Detector, Proton Trops, EM, LWF.

TIE Striker; No idea, still haven't played it.

TIE/fo Fighter; Yeah, this one is clear. Omega Leader with Juke and Comm Relay.

TIE/sf Fighter; For me it is the economy Quickdraw SOTL posted about not too long ago: A Score To Settle, FCS, LWF.

Upsilon-Class Shuttle; No idea.

VT-49 Decimator; RAC with VI, Kylo, Palpatine, EU.
