Vader with cruise missile: Intensity or VI?

Thomax Bren with cruise missile: GC or LWF?

Gamma Squadron Veteran with cruise missile: Deadeye+LWF or Crack shot + LRS?

Deathrain with cruise missile: FCS + LWF or just LRS with no system upgrade? Is it worth using the cruises or just Acc. corrector + LWF + Bomblets is better?

Deathfire: Conner net or Cluster mines With Cruise, Ion or homing missiles?

Kestal with TLT: Intensity or Ruthlessness?

Oicunn flying with 2x TLT (max 50 pts): Expertise+Engine upgrade or Expert Handling +Rebel captive + Intel agent + antipursuit lasers (or ion projector) ---> 1st option would be good attack and a bit of range 1 protection for the TLTs. 2nd option sacrifice attack power for a really good range 1 protection and an annoying target. Basically your opponent need to take down Oicunn to get to the TLTs and theyll get stress when doing so.

Tks for your help!

For the third one definitely deadeye and LWF.

Better chance to get your missile off on the target you want without telegraphing it. Plus better durability.

Anyone else able to help?

1: Depends on your meta. VI > Intensity if you expect a lot of PS9 and/or aren't packing a bid, Adaptability is sometimes better than either, particularly if the rest of your squad is PS8, otherwise Intensity is great. Juke is also solid, Lone Wolf is also solid, even Crack Shot is not to be sniffed at. It's also well worth packing a Cruise Missile.

2: Chips. But also, Plasma over Cruise. Much easier to get the second shot off with Plasma.

3: Deadeye/Chips unless you're running UGR. LWF doesn't add THAT much to Bombers' survivability especially when they're often not taking focus or using it offensively, so better to make them punch harder when they're alive. Obviously, if you ARE running UGR, then add LWF as well, but then you don't need Deadeye, so probably Crack.

4: Both Conner Net AND Cluster Mines. And EM. But actually Bomblet Generator, Advanced Sensors, LWF, and UGR if you have spare points. DR needs to be cheap and infinite bombs for 3 points is the best option available.

5: Honestly, probably neither. VI. Move last, get better information.

6: Again, the third option. Vader/Gunner/APL/Trick Shot. Or the comedy build of Bo Shek Intel Agent Inspiring Recruit Dauntless Predator.

Ruthlessness only triggers once on TLT unfortunately

Oh derp he's 42 isn't he.

First option doesn't work but dump Pred down to a 2, 1, or 0 point EPT on the latter it'll be fine.

Kestal with TLT: Intensity or Ruthlessness?

Not TLT

Kestal's pilot ability is not really efficient for two shots of 1 point of damage. You would be better off with an Ion Cannon Turret since the Lt. can deny AT with the ability and use Crackshot against it to almost guarantee getting your target 1 Ion and 1 damage instead of 1 damage with a TLT. Otherwise, Kestal's ability does well with ordinance, like cruise missiles or homing missiles. For lesser budget option, Unguided Rockets benefit from Kestal's ability to modify the defender's dice instead of attack dice if your Focus token is not needed on the attack role. TLT on the Lt. is kinda missing the point of the pilot, imo.

For EPT, I would go Crackshot, Intensity, or Expertise.

PS Ruthlessness only triggers once off of TLT, but you do get two chances to trigger it. It works if you are just looking for a way to get Ruthlessness to trigger, but I wouldn't normally go that route unless you are going out of your way to try to tech against formation flying.
