Been flying the following for a while, it’s imperial and risky to put on the table but also fun and It kinda works. Ryad and Duchess can keep pointing arc to any target without much effort and Juke/x7 is a thing of beauty.
Countess Ryad (34)
Juke (2)
TIE/x7 (-2)
"Duchess" (23)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Adaptive Ailerons (0)
"Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Weapons Engineer (3)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Total: 100
Weapons Eng has been a failsafe for those turns I must switch targets/reposition and need the focus token to survive incoming fire. Might be better crew for her but having played with them all it W.E has served me well.
Stress lists are hard to fight but not an insta loss as low PS/low AGI ships die fast against powerful guns.
It usually plays like a trade: Duchess and Ryad for Whisper’s counter so that Whisper (with multiple locks) clean the table.
With this idea in mind, wouldn’t the following be better at it?
Captain Yorr (24)
Emperor Palpatine (8)
"Duchess" (23)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Adaptive Ailerons (0)
"Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Kylo Ren (3)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Total: 100
I’m losing Ryad (a beast) but Palpie giving a Crit to Duchess at PS10 feels nasty and a very reliable way of gaining more control over the engagement. Nym to PS0, Ketsu Blinded...all good news for Whisper.
Bonus: Yorr shoots before Jumps and Auzitukjzz and manage Whisper’s stress tokens.
Do you think it can work ? I don’t see the need to give some points to init bid, do you?
