First time going into a tournament this sunday. I know there are a ton of meta lists out there and I am not really pushing to get first, I like fun different lists (whodathunk), but I am looking for some tweaks of feed back. I really like the idea of some super maneuverable, hard hitting aces, so I went with this 100pts

Soontir Fel (27)

Push the Limit (3)

Stealth Device (3)

Royal Gaurd Tie (0)

Autothrusters (2)

Points: 35

Turr Phennir (25)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Stealth Device (3)

Royal Gaurd Tie (0)

Autothrusters (2)

Points: 31

Darth Vader (34)

Calculation (1)

Stealth Device (3)

Tie/x1 (0)

Adv Targeting Computer (1)

Points 34

The idea of the list is complete arc dodging. I know there are a lot of turrets out there but I can rely on autothrusters and stealth to help mitigate that. If I see Vader getting into trouble a quick double evasion should keep him safe enough.

On the offensive side of things the interceptors should be able to close in fast and out maneuver just about anything granted I can fly them right, and Vader with his target lock and focus actions in one turn almost guarantees 2 crits on a ship.

Might be a one trick pony list but it sure it fun to fly.

seems ok, your biggest problem would probably be bombs, especially with a lot of Nym and Miranda lists out there.

You are correct, this list is very vulnerable in today's meta, but it is still fun to fly, and has potential if you are smart and get some lucky matchups.

Soontir there is a good build, as is Turr, though he is not the strongest Interceptor.

Vader, however, needs some slight changes:

Give him VI and AT. Higher PS on him, the better. AT is just more useful than SD.

Don't be afraid to disengage with these guys if things don't look good and spend a round or two getting into a better position. Be patient. They are not hammers.

Vader can't take AT, that's why he is a bit more challenging to fly these days, he should have Engine upgrade to help him dodge and control rng

OH lol right. I was gonna suggest EU but the points weren't quite there.
