We have a 3rd quarter tournament this weekend and I am stuck between two lists.

First is:

Palob Godalhi (20)
Deadeye (1)
Synced Turret (4)
Pulsed Ray Shield (2)
Moldy Crow (3)
Fenn Rau (28)
Expertise (4)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)

Contracted Scout (25)
A score to settle (0)
Plasma Torpedoes (3)
Guidance Chips (0)
Recon Specialist (3)
Scavenger Crane (2)
Unhinged Astromech (1)
99/100

The second choice is

3x Concord Dawn Ace (23)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
Autothrusters (2)
Concord Dawn Protector (1)
M3-A Interceptor: Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Attanni Mindlink (1)
99/100

I have not play tested either of them. I had a third list I did test with Kath and an IG but it kinda turned into a bust.

Mindlink. Always Mindlink. In a league where you had to take different list each week with a tournament at the end I went 18-9 overall but 13-3 with mindlink lists including winning the tournament with one. All 3 losses were very close too.

I flew three named Fangs last night and they were fun, but didn't rock my world. I get the feeling if you want to use lust two you're going to need to practice. A lot.

For list one I don't like the Palob build, but that's a matter of personal taste. Also I think you need more than a one point bid.

Regardless, my advice is practice like crazy and you'll do well!
