Omega Leader, Inquisitor and... ?

By Hotziggety, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Just looking for input on which ship I should field to rounded a list with Inquisitor and Omega Leader in it.

The base of my list is this, leaving 43 points to finish things off:

TIE Avanced Prototype: · The Inquisitor (25)
Push The Limit (3)
Autothrusters (2)
TIE/v1 (1)
TIE/fo Fighter: · "Omega Leader" (21)
Juke (2)
Comm Relay (3)
-- TOTAL ------- 57p. --

Thanks for the help.

Light W8s (90)

The Inquisitor (34) - TIE Adv. Prototype
Push The Limit (3), Proton Rockets (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

"Duchess" (27) - TIE Striker
Lone Wolf (2), Adaptive Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

"Omega Leader" (29) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3), Stealth Device (3)

It's a real challenge to fly; the margin for error is razor thin. Every win is earned.

If you want something more conventional, go for Vessery. Inquisitor/OL/Vessery is an older Imp Aces List, but it checks out.

I like "duchess" in the list. Seems like it offers another difficult to pin down ship, a type which I do enjoy flying. Your recommendation got me thinking about "echo." If she had veteran instincts, she would also be a PS8 ace that's pretty difficult to predict. Have you ever given her a try?

Maybe a nicely loaded TIE/SF ... Quickdraw or Backdraft. Expertise, FCS, LWF, title, Pattern analyzer, maybe a missile if points permit.

I frequently fly Phantoms. They are my favorite Imperial ship. Stress, auto-damage and TLT are serious threats. Echo additionally has to worry about the abundance of pilots at PS9 and higher. Duchess has the same vulnerabilities as Echo. You just need to be aware and do your best to outfly the bad matchups. Flying any kind of repositioning ace is an uphill battle these days. FFG spent the last few waves punishing that kind of gameplay with a ton of anti-ace tools.

Solid options. If there's points in the list for a missile, then I would put it on Inquisitor. Prockets make a great deterrent against people closing to range 1 on him.

I've been having some fun with this lately:

"Whisper" (41) - TIE Phantom
Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Agent Kallus (2), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

"Omega Leader" (26) - TIE/FO Fighter
Juke (2), Comm Relay (3)

The Inquisitor (31) - TIE Adv. Prototype
Push The Limit (3), TIE/v1 (1), Autothrusters (2)

Comes in at 98 points.
