Should I buy the shadow castor, if I do would running it with a protectorate and possibly a y wing work well.
thx for all future advice
Shadow Castor
What were you thinking of running? Asajj, Fenn, and a generic?
Most likely
How about this,
ventress, expertise, gyroscopic targeting, 4-lom, shadow castor title, feedback array, black market slicers.
fenn Rau, PTL, auto thrusters, title,
black sun soldier, black market slicers
98/100
I've been working on a Ketsu/Teroch/Z-95 list for about a week.
It's showing some promise, but it's hard work. I think Shadow Caster is one of the most fun ships to fly, but it requires some skill. It may seem like it can hold up nice with 10 health and 2 agility dice, but it usually burns quickly.
I'm having to learn when to hold off from fighting and when to zoom in and attack. It has good action-economy: A hard-3 with K-4 Security Driod gives you a Target Lock, focus/evade, and you'll be able to turn your mobile arc with Gyroscopic targeting at the end of the round.

If you run Assajj, you should have Latts Razzi for crew. I don't see the use of feedback array on her. If you have the new Syck's, you should run inaldra, with the light syck title, and use mindlink on all 3 ships. I have one with Inaldra, Fenn, and Dengar. It's fun to fly, and the Syck gets a lot more use than you expect.

A limiting factor for including a Y Wing is that they can't keep up with the Shadow Caster.
I'm planning to run Asajj Latts, title, Glitterstim and Inertia Damper, with Serissu (green dice haven't been kind to Asajj, and two Binayre Pirates with Slicers. When I put a Slicer on Asajj I rarely used it because of the multitude of actions available and because of PS 6 some of the targets had already distressed.

PTL Asajj/Latts make it so you care less about the vagaries of your green dice. As far as I can tell, Inertial Dampeners on the Lancer are a bum deal. The ship has a 180 degree diagonal arc and moves like the wind, and Asajj gets a lot more tanky for every evade action she can take. The timing on Asajj's pilot ability makes it so those slicer pirates will not get to hack the planet unless your opponents ships are stressing themselves for you.
Just some thoughts.

You probably have to compromise too much on Kavil for this to actually be worthwhile though
I really like Fearlessness on Asajj. Since she has to get within range 2 to give stress she usually ends up in arc to arc fights. This is even more prevalent due to the 180 degree arc that I usually keep on her.

I think running a Protectorate Starfighter with the Caster is a good choice. I ran Asajj (Glitterstim, Slicer, Latts, title, Gyroscopic Targeting, Fearlessness) with Fenn (title, Stealth Devive, flechette torps, Decoy) and a Slicer pirate (Slicer, ion pulse missile) in a recent tournament.
My poor performance was due to bad piloting and bad tactics. Fenn was massively targeted and I did not keep him out of harms way. I think the list would have been competitive if used by more experienced players.
