Trying to figure out what to pair with Kylo. I’m not a big fan of Gunboats songereya fluffy FO list:

(100)

Kylo Ren (46) - TIE Silencer
Push The Limit (3), Advanced Sensors (3), Primed Thrusters (1), First Order Vanguard (2), Autothrusters (2)

Zeta Specialist (27) - TIE/SF Fighter
Fire Control System (2), Lightweight Frame (2)

Zeta Specialist (27) - TIE/SF Fighter
Fire Control System (2), Lightweight Frame (2)

Are the SFs too underwhelming?

3 red dice fully modded might be worthwhile.

Thoughts?

Well firstly, those SFs need the title haha

Secondly, with generics, I think using Accuracy Corrector is a really cool way to pull off some shenanigans. 2 guaranteed hits of out 2 arcs might not sound like much, but in today's meta, it can be wonderful.

Good catch on title. Problem with Acc cor. Is that it’s 3 points and that puts this list 2 points over.

I’d drop Vangaurd title then. I have found that the best way to survive is the arc dodge and the reroll ability just doesn’t seem worth it for 2 points

I'd keep FCS, it makes it easier to trigger Kylo's ability.

I've been really digging the SF with Accuracy Corrector lately, and had been having trouble getting Kylo to fit in such a list. Then again, I've also often been shoehorning Sensor Jammer onto my AccC Zetas...

I think it’s good, idk if it’s better then two boats, but it certainly a worthy alternative, decent firepower and decent durability, especially if variance is on your side

Here is another idea for a all first order squad with a slightly better end game

Kylo Ren (TIE Silencer) — TIE Silencer35Push the Limit3Advanced Sensors3Primed Thrusters1Autothrusters2Ship Total: 44 "Omega Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter21Juke2Comm Relay3Ship Total: 26 Zeta Specialist — TIE/sf Fighter23Fire-Control System2Cruise Missiles3Lightweight Frame2Special Ops Training0Ship Total: 30

and for a less thematic squad you could just keep the title on Kylo and replace the sf with a delta x7

Here's a crazy idea, feel free to run with it as you like. I'd look for more guaranteed ways to get your crits in to keep the threat of kylo's ISYTDS a real possibility, and look at cutting tech and the vanguard title to make room.

I was thinking of something like Kylo with just PTL, AS and ATs, coming out to 43 points. Throw in Backdraft. LWF, VI, Spec Ops, FCS. 32 points, PS 9 and tosses those crits out the bum like it's taco night. Final ship, needs to be the nail in the coffin. Enter Omega Leader. Comm relay? Maybe, works well to keep you alive. Also consider stealth device if you just want your opponent to see you're rolling 6 defense dice on that range 3 obstructed shot they aren't modifying. Demoralizing AF. Only 1 point left, keep it for the bid. Slap on A score to settle on OL for that budget crit on any ace that you think might give Kylo **** for his tantrums and knock his *** down to PS 0 as soon as he tries to take that shot. Prefer Juke? Drop VI on backdraft down to adaptability and you've got room, just no bid and you're flying 2 8s and a 9. It's a little on the light side, with only 16 hull and shields. Try to nix the joust and drag the fight into the asteroids where your maneuverability and rear firing arc give you the advantage.

It's not beginner friendly, but it's not opponent friendly either. It's efficient, it's ruthless. It's imperial.
