Playing with the bros tomorrow night, were a casual group so we proxy cards and after seeing the starviper preview I really want to give Thweek a go.

I know ill see Biggsy at some point so I made Thweek as annoying as possible because scum and itll let the other two rip, if not ill go with the highest PS. For Talonbane, I really wanted to have Intensity so should I drop the thrusters and embrace the in-your-faceness with him? I don't think ill be running into too many turrets or PWTs. And it could also help to have a bid so what should go?

Love the idea, but I feel like this list really wants some kind of initiative bid - it basically guarantees you'll be arc dodging with all 3 ships. I also think you've got way too many points invested in Thweek - he's your weakest-hitting ship by far, so you're OK if he explodes early when he copies Biggs. Cutting Virago et al from Thweek and upgrading Fenn + Cobra to PTL leaves you four points to play with; adding Cloaking Device to Cobra gives you a pretty healthy 3-point bid. Looking forward to hearing how this does.

I have tested Thweek a couple times, and he is just a giggle. But to echo @DeathToJarJar , he needs to be kept cheap. Even with all the bells and whistles, he is still awfully squishy - unless you can guarantee an adequate use of Shadowed and a solid bid.

I've also run TBC with Vaksai a few times, and he's still an easily-killed points-sink. Viktor Hel, on the other hand, loaded with Stealth Device, Scavenger Crane, and other toys to suit, is naughty.

And also agreeing with DeathToJarJar, I think PTL is really the best EPT for Fenn. Allows him to fully exercise his vessel in pursuit of his maximum brutality.

It's a fun list, the exact strategy for which I have not quite figured out. Let us know your results!
