Quickdraws, Rexlar, Support bomber

By Goseki1, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Paging @Biophysical ... Does this work?

Based on a list stolen from someone else where they had both SF's, I'm considering the below list. No bid but Rexlar at PS10 is still strong, with double focus from the support shuttle he might actually get to trigger his ability. I'm taking him more for his PS than you s ability though.

Quickdraw is Quickdraw, though with double focus might be better with Sensor cluster over Pattern Analyzer?

The support shuttle...supports and with wired hopefully lasts long enough to...support. With rebel captive making it a bit of a pain to shoot at.

I've rarely ever run a Defender with VI, but if theres any meta to do it in, this is probably the one. I think X7 is not the right call, though. If I were going to run it, I'd do TIE/D with Ion Cannon. That costs you 5 points. You can drop to a Scimitar Squadron Pilot on the shuttle, freeing up 4, then drop Rebel Captive for another 3. The remaining 2 points could be a bid, another crew, or turning Mk2 Engines into a hull upgrade. You probably want a bid because Nym is why you're taking PS10.

Basically I'm stripping points from the shuttle, because it's okay if that's the first thing that goes down, it's actually ideal. Your current list has Quickdraw as a clear 1st target, because the shuttle and Brath won't be doing a ton of damage.

I suppose that might run better. Are most Nym lists running at 99+?
