Imperial list for Regionals: help me decide

By Cartchan, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I'm currently playing this list:

CRIT FACTORY V2 (100 points)

“Quickdraw” [Marksmanship, Fire-Control System, Harpoon Missiles, Special Ops Training, Guidance Chips] (38)

“Backdraft” [Veteran Instincts, Fire-Control System, Harpoon Missiles, Special Ops Training, Guidance Chips] (34)

Captain Yorr [Collision Detector, Kylo Ren, Inspiring Recruit] (28)

With the new wave, I'm wondering if I should replace the Yorr by a Harpoon Alpha and put VI on QD. Any thoughts ?

So you got time to practice. I would put VI on Quickdraw. Marksmanship ain't great. If you can get practice in, then I'd do the Alpha. If can't get the practice in then Yorr.

Agreed, Marksmanship is questionable. I'd rather have the versatility of a normal focus action.

I know this is an alpha strike list, but I don't think those GC are worth it above LWF.

That doesn't leave quite as much room for the support ship. However, that might not be a bad thing. Your Lambda is very expensive, but you can get a similar effect from Targeting Synchronizer with your choice of TIE/FO Pilot!

I agree, there is no need for Marksmanship on Quickdraw. Better off making him cheaper and taking him up to 11 with VI. You are only delivering 2x harpoons, but if you make QD cheaper you can swap BD for Darth Vader and keep the chips on both. You would still have to fly the **** out of Vader since he doesn't have Engine Upgrade. You could also reduce Yorr to OG Pilot - I get why you want Yorr, but you could go down to Omicron Group Pilot and put Pattern Analyzer on Quickdraw instead.

VI advance optics on quickdraw.

Having yorr around is basically like having pattern analyzer since they can sloop and take an action. Not sure if kylo is needed. Op spec, mara jade, might be better. Make Yorr into a super support cuz he probably only going to ever get one action in a game. Yorr is awesome with SFs, able to hard 1, sloop, etc.
