Upgrade options

By Thormind, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Posted thi in the main forum but i did not get much answer. I want to build a 3 ship squad (or 4, if possible) with 1 restriction: it must include material from the last wave. Im not settled yet on the ship/pilots/upgrades i want. And im wondering about those choices:

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!

Kestal with Ruthlessness has worked well for me.

It was flying alongside Quickdraw with Fire control, Lightweight frame and Targeting Synchronizer. Elite talent was Swarm Tactics, but didn't really help.

Never hit my own ship once with ruthlessness, but did manage to take out a Stealth device'd Dark Curse.
