Kylo Ren (TIE Silencer) — TIE Silencer 35
Push the Limit 3
Advanced Sensors 3
Ship Total: 41
"Quickdraw" — TIE/sf Fighter 29
Trick Shot 0
Fire-Control System 2
Lightweight Frame 2
Special Ops Training 0

"Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter 21
Juke 2
Comm Relay 3
Ship Total: 26

Started to brainstorm a list that represents a hard decision for the opponent. Wanted to make sure each ship is working "well", but maybe not quite enough. Omega Leader could drop down to only "A Score to Settle", and then Kylo has Autothrusters and Primed Thrusters. But the last 2 points I don't know what to do with though.

Got a tourney this weekend, and was thinking about this list.

Using those two points for pattern analyzer on quickdraw might not be too shabby, with all the red on his dial it might come in handy. Either that or a two point bid, which for Kylo might be quite useful.

Do you insist on Omega Leader? I'm thinking, that Advanced Optics might make Omega Ace actually usable. Bank a focus token early, get into range 1, acquire TL, boom, eat 3 crits pls.

3 aces, all at PS9 for maximum flexibility. I found that the title can easily give you an extra round for Kylo when the green dice inevitably fails, so it's good to have. Alternatively, you can ditch it for Adv Sensors, and have a 1 point bid. I personally prefer having FCS for dice mods, and spending both actions on repositioning for maximum arc dodging shenanigans.

I agree with the above suggestion to use ASTS on QD, that's a nice, cheap mod. I'm intrigued by the idea to use a much lighter Kylo in order to fit OL. However, if you dropped to something like ASTS Omega Leader, Epsilon Ace, Howlrunner, another TIE, you could kit Kylo more effectively.

Not having Autothrusters on the Silencer is a grave error, and I personally think trying to make Kylo cheap is a mistake - he is an expensive pilot and you have to accept that as part of including him.
