  • I LIKE:
    • Omega Leader remains solid with that build, and if ignored, can become a frustrating late-game threat.
    • Running a truly First Order thematic list is awesome.
  • I'D CHANGE:
    • Consider swapping Advanced Optics on Kylo out, for Primed Thrusters . That lets him tear across the board with virtually no concern for stress, and at PS9, he's usually going to be arc dodging whoever may be shooting at him. It also saves you 1 point.
    • Collision Detector is free, and could be equipped to both the Silencer and TIE/sf. It's highly situational, I admit, but it COULD save you from some damage, and it's conceivable that you might want to barrel roll over or onto some obstacle or another.

So my suggested changes:

  • Kylo Ren (Silencer): Push The Limit, Primed Thrusters, Autothrusters, Collision Detector (41 points)
  • "Backdraft": Veteran Instincts, Advanced Optics, Lightweight Frame, Collision Detector, Special Ops Training (32 points)
  • Omega Leader: Juke, Comm Relay (26 points)
  • Initiative Bid (1 point)

I think Kylo is too light here. He begs for Adv. Sensors or FCS, and FCS is also very very good on Backdraft. I would downgrade one of the other pilots in order to get the title and a good system on Kylo.

Backdraft also really wants a decent kit-out, too, though. Leaving a systems upgrade empty feels like a heartbreaking waste.

I'd almost consider Backdraft/Blackout/Omega Leader with a decent loadout of kit rather than try to fit Kylo in.

I know its a heartbreaking waste of the system slot . ;)

I just needed another opinion .

I rather go with nu squad instead of Backdraft and loading Kylo full of stuff .

I like that, but I might drop Advanced Optics to Primed Thrusters.
