Happens to all of us now and then.

In addition to greater durability, the new equipment gives the Supreme Order pilots completely different possibilities than those available to previous generations. Some of them, however, show some similarities to imperial pilots and focus on providing support to fellow squadrons. Let's look at TN-3465, for example. If it is within range 0-1 of the defender, which is attacked by another ship of the Supreme Order, the TN-3465 can accept one critical damage, so that its squadron companion will change one result to a critical hit.

However, most pilots of the Supreme Order are not tearing up to the extent to help others, according to the principle "you can count on, count on yourself". Especially if they count attack bones, and those have little - as it was with their imperial predecessors. Two red dice do not provide enough firepower, so some of the pilots are trying to remedy this at all costs. Certainly, their determination helps them not to say fanatical devotion to the Supreme Order. Let's look at the "Burner", for example. The Resistance Movement makes him so much hatred that by performing an attack, he can decide to get a stress token (if he does not have it) to throw one more bone! As we know, this is one of the most powerful modifications of the attack, and the "Burner" is not the only one that has it. The next one is "Sygurant" , a pilot belonging to the Zeta Squadron. His attacks are effective both from close and from afar, because the basic ability allows him to throw one attack die more, not only when he receives a standard range 1 bonus, but also with an attack within range 3.

Commander Malarus perfectly embodies this idea in life. He has an initiative worth 5, and he is much better than other pilots, he can coolly assess the situation and make the right decision about the attack or retreat. Twice during the game, he can spend his non-renewable load and thus use his special ability. Malarus then gets a stress token and can change all focus results for hits or evasions to the end of the round during the attack or defense.

Stick around here long enough and you'll find that you can tell when anyone comes online just by that you suddenly get a bunch of notifications from them

Omega Squadron Omega, "Szum" , specializes in this matter and can really knock down. It is enough for him to reject the tracking and focusing token, and all the results of the roll can change to criticism!

'Komandor Malarus' has 2 glitterstims. Hm.

MynockDailyDiscussion #420

How cheaply would the Patrol Leader (Init 2 Decimator) have to be priced/what slots would have to be added so that you would consider a list with 2 of them as a serious option? What would that list be?

As an example, one answer I have heard was "Enough that both can have bombs and fit a Juke Soontir", which is 67.

Follow up question: Is the Patrol Leader scarier than the Bounty Hunter?

Why does no one use Darth Vader pilot?

I heard a rumor that he is almost Wedge tier.

Just submitted my Mynock Open list, can’t go back now! I named my list: @Musical Xeno, the house loses again.

Hah, I just came here to ask almost the same question!

My question is: If an imperial list does not have Whisper but another ace, is it wrong? Or in a different way: is Whisper the imperial QD in as much that a list without it is most likely just wrong?

From a certain point of view...isnt Vader just better Whisper?

Right?!

But Vader is 85 and Whisper 75, and Vader also wants the bid more.

They both have the (mainly) lateral premove movement, where Vader is reactive while Whisper is further.

Whisper brings guaranteed Juke+Focus, and Vader gets focus+tl with a guaranteed crit.

Both are on 5HP, Vader has more greens but Whisper has the extra evade after hitting.

Point is, they are very similar.

Bring both?

edit: for the offense, taking a 2agility ship as baseline:

Vader deals 1.57 damage if the defender has a focus, and 2.06 if he has not.
Whisper deals 1.07 damage if the defender has a focus, and 2.11 if he has not.

Now of course the actual comparison is the 1.57 vs 2.11 because Whisper can remove that green or deal the damage anyway due to Vader crew. Which is also why both together doesn't work nearly as well.

How does your Whisper get to 75?

Edited: I realized when you mentioned 75, you were still comparing Whisper and Vader, not putting them in the same list. I was making the point you can't have 75 Whisper because you can't get Vader crew and have Vader pilot in the same list which may be the main issue.

we basically hit submit at the same time: my Whisper has Vader as crew (so no, can't play them together...). Which makes her Juke so much more valuable. Then collision detector because that's the way to go

Say Vader Crew was generic.

Would 3 Sigma Aces with Juke and Vader be a good squad?

JESUS

YES

I mean, 4 Juke Sigmas are pretty good now.

Comparing 4 Sigmas with 3 Sigmas+genericVader: Just removing the focus would not be too much of a difference (around -0.5 damage, so even worse), but dealing the damage instead pushes that to +1.5 compared to the 4 sigmas.

And if 4 Sigmas are already good but 3 Sigmas+Vaders are even better, then clearly yes.

In light of all these Supreme Order throwing bones around (and in effect, make Kylo uncomfortable and jealous)...

Whisper is also arguably tankier. 3 red w/ focus vs. 3 green w/ focus/force is 0.638 expected damage, same vs. 2 green w/ focus+evade is 0.541 expected damage. Not a huge difference but worth considering given the 10 pt difference between the ships. Of course there's other considerations, like the fact that Vader can reactively arc dodge better and his force charges make him better against multiple targets. But if Vader does manage to get caught in multiple arcs he's usually toast. Super is amazing but its not as busted as it is on Luke who can pre-boost or BR. Vader can be cornered.

unironic yes?

My numbers have wedge making the cut 14% of the time and SNR vader making it 13% of the time. Wedge tier.
