Sharing is caring

Hi all,

I'm new to X-wing, I could use some advice from experienced players. So, I came up with this:

98 points

PILOTS

Colonel Jendon [Weapons Engineer , Systems Officer, ST-321] (32)

Sienar Test Pilot [XX-23 S-thread Tracers, TIE/v1, Guidance Chips] (18) x 2

The Inquisitor [Juke, TIE/v1, Autothrusters] (30)

The idea is, Jendon tosses out target locks to everyone, resulting in evade tokens as well. Also, the tracers should be an on-demand evade tokens as well, but I might be wrong, and the evade tokens Id get wont be used, since they shoot late. Am I correct? That way, Inq should have that only. Thoughts?

Jendon passes blue target lock tokens. That's not the same as acquiring a target lock from thread tracers or just the basic target lock action.

...in other words, Jendon passing the lock doesn't result in evade tokens for the TIE/Adv. Prototypes. I think a shuttle with General Hux or Fleet Officer to hand out focus tokens will be better for your starfighter. Systems Officer is still solid here.

Also, Thread Tracers aren't ideal on the Sienar Test Pilots because they shoot so late. You can set up locks for the next round, at the expense of doing no damage. Probably not a great trade, imo.

Cheers, thank you. I did not know that its not counting as getting a lock... this way its not that lucrative. First idea was to fly Jendon+2 advanced ace with Advanced Targeting Computers, I guess that works.
