Been toying with innumerable Gunboat builds... I’m really starting to feel like 2 Gunboats with an Ace (read also point fortress) might be the best build with them.

The above is just an example. There’s plenty of points (44) to build an Ace there. I’ve also played with x7 intensity (2 evade tokens and still a lock)

Me like....

Has the firepower to knock out Miranda or Nym very quickly

I like, but is it worth 6 points for Trick Shot on the Gunboats?

Yeah, the more i search for a list the more i'm feeling they either need to be the budget sword or the point fort shield (os1 expertise vynder).

Unless you like gimmicks (hux support or striden 1st turn alpha)

Vessery has /x7 title in this right?

Not got that far yet. Between Intensity, Expertise, Tractor Beam, x7... I can see so many different ways to make him work. Gonna need to play test before I settle on anything.

If Silencer releases enough before Regionals, might switch it in instead of Vessery.

I had 6 points left over.

Expertise and a hill upgrade might do more in the long run there.

With slam and the range of a HLC, trick shot insures there's no where to hide.

Also gives them an edge on generic spam lists and pulls them out of predators double reroll.

The basic archetype seems interesting. I think there might be some potential in Rho, too. Shooting ahead of Jumpmasters might be useful.

I've been really digging Outmaneuver on Defenders lately. Maybe it's just a phase and I'll grow out of it soon, but I feel like it's an underrated Elite upgrade on Defenders.

With Vessery specifically, I'm fascinated with A Score to Settle. It's almost like a 0-point Expertise, and with Focus-Evade and 3 green dice, you're fairly protected against the drawback.

I can see your point here.

Expertise Vess with stealth device is just.... so mean
