I love three ship builds, and this Silencer is so dang sexy looking I gotta get it on the mat. I just seems like a natural fit would be a couple GUNBOATS to go with it.

Do you guys have any list recommendations for this archtype?

I’d do Kylo with AdvS, PtL, AT, Title, Primed Thrusters alongside two Rhos with Harpoons, Crackshot, LRS. For most competitive, that is.

For most fun, I’d do Kylo with FCS instead, drop one boat to a Nu and up the other to Vynder, cus he’s awesome.

Great responses guys! My first chuckle of the day.

And the bartender responds, "Listen, she's always going to Push the Limit and take an Evade. Oh, sure, she won't spend it, but she wants to force you to Focus. Pretty soon, you just gotta decide if you really want to maintain a Target Lock, or if it's time to get back to your Long Range Scanners. "

You have just confirmed my belief that there are some really strange people haunting this forum. Glad I'm not alone!

2 GUNBOATS and a Silencer Walked into a Bar

One would think at least one of them would have ducked!

Entered topic looking for a punchline. Glad to see @DampfGecko is on the ball.

2 Rho's with HLC, LB, XG1, LRS, and Crackshot leaves you with 36pts.

Imperials have a TON of great ships that are 36pts to slip in there: Vader, Quickdraw, Backdraft, Deathrain, Maarek(defender), Vessery, Ryad, Soontir, Jax, or just another Gunboat.
You can squeeze Blackout in there since he actually likes Trickshot and its a free card, but he has a lot of action problems if you try to purposely use his ability in that build.

Yeah, I haven't played the Silencer a lot, but.... I think you're just better off running Quickdraw and two GUNBOATs.

Does anyone have experience how Lightning Reflexes fare compared to Crack Shot on Rhos?

"2 GUNBOATS and a Silencer Walked into a Bar"

All these years and I never knew Gunboats had legs...

It has 5 wings limbs, after all...

But don't ask me what the 5th limb is...

It is a good thing that ASTS is unique...

I have tried a few games with Lightning Reflexes on a couple HLC Rhos. I think there's a legit argument for both. It's probably a meta call. If expecting lots of aces that have the ability to negate 4 dmg (or at least consistently 3), then Crack Shot. If expecting a lot of high health low agility, then Lightning Reflexes to keep time on target.
