Need help with imperial list

By Noobninja1, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I really just want to know if this is any good,

The idea is that maarek and blackout bounce in and out of the tightly placed asteroid field and Omega Leader either runs away leading my opponent on, or nipping them in the bud should they ignore her.

What would you do to change it?

Criticism welcome

OL' blackout Marek 100pt
TIE Silencer: "Test Pilot "Blackout": Push the Limit, advanced Sensors, Primed Thrusters, First Order Vanguard, Autothrusters

TIE Advanced: Maarek Stele: Adaptability, Harpoon Missiles, TIE/x 1, Guidance Chips, Adv. Targeting Computer
TIE/FO Fighter: Omega Leader: Juke, Comm Relay

Not too bad. Blackout and OL are nice.

Maarek in TIE advance is not worth 32pts,imo. Best thing to do is put it on the table a couple times versus different archetypes, and see what works.

You can get more from a gunboat for less if you have one. Heavy hitter that can hit anyone, not just PS7 or below like Maarek, since he will need a lock on first engagement.

Gunboats:

Rho Squadron Veteran (21) w/ Deadeye (1), Concussion Missiles (4), Guidance Chips (2) Total: 26

Rho Squadron Veteran (21) w/ Crack Shot (1), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Linked Battery (2), Long-Range Scanners (0), XG-1 Assault Configuration (1) Total: 32

Lieutenant Karsabi (24) w/ Wired (1), "Mangler" Cannon (4), Linked Battery (2), Long-Range Scanners (0), XG-1 Assault Configuration (1) Total: 32

Think about your weaknesses of your other ships and plug that hole with your 32pts. I think you got PS7 and below covered. Alpha strikes and aces can give you problems, so I think you need to look there. Stressing can be bad also. So maybe think about Yorr+Palpatine shuttle (32pts). Blackout can land on Debris, PTL for Focus+TL, and end stress free thanks to Yorr. Or how about a tallon roll, then PTL, and end stress free?

Give you a PS11 ship to deal with aces:

Darth Vader (29) w/ Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Targeting Computer (1), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1), TIE/x1 (0)

Looking good on paper is one thing, your opponent following your well written plan is another.

I like your Vader build and replaced maarek with him.

Eventually I will buy a gunboat and then I can replace Oleader with that 21pter you listed. Thanks for the help.

Would you consider building a cheaper Blackout? Trick Shot, Collision Detector, Pattern Analyzer, AT, and the title is, in my experience, almost as effective as your build, but allows room for a more potent 3rd ship on top of Blackout and OL. Perhaps Maarek w/ ATC, Countess Ryad, Vader, an Alpha Ace, actually pretty much whatever you want.

I just played a slightly advanced list last night and though I lost, I don't blame the list, I flew like garbage, having made some horrible mistakes.

OL' blackout Vader (100/100)

"Test Pilot "Blackout" + Push the Limit + Advanced Sensors + Primed Thrusters + First Order Vanguard + Autothrusters (42)

Omega Leader + Juke + Comm Relay (26)

Darth Vader + Veteran Instincts + TIE/x 1 + Twin Ion Engine Mk. II + Advanced Targeting Computer (32)

I had so much fun with this list. Vader is freaking awesome. But he definitely needs to boost, twin ion engine is not worth it.

Omega Leader did exactly what she was meant to. Kept his aggressors busy for two rounds till she ezploded.

Blackout needs work, or maybe I make him Soontir. I don't know, seemed like an expensive do nothing. Shoot through an obstacle and your opponent gets an extra green and then loses 2 green... Meh. When I get a gunboat it is definitely filling that spot.
Primed thrusters are amazing. I was quite often stressed and out of range or about to fly head on into an obstacle and PT let me barrel into a situation where I had better survival chances or a shot at another player.

My thoughts are drop ptl on blackout and ion engine on Vader to get engine upgrade on Vader and I like snapshot, I was going to leave this blank or use adaptability.
