I’m been thinking in this list a lot, do you think it’s got the punch to play top??

darth vader

VI, engine upgrade, cruise missiles, targeting computer, title

quickdraw

VI, title, Chips, harpoon missile, fire control system

Rho squadron

deadeye, harpoon missiles, chips

let me know your opinion please

Maybe change the deadeye for another VI

I’d drop Rho to Nu (swap chips for LRS) and get QuickDraw LWF and Optics - he looks quite brittle like that.

Definetly. Looks like a pretty strong list otherwise!

Seems fine.

That's how I'd build it too, or I'd ditch Engines on Vader. It's an interesting comparison: LRS has higher mods, but is telegraphed and vulnerable to things like Black One or Expert Handling. Deadeye is more flexible, but focus+GC isn't as good as Focus/TL, and it's vulnerable to Hotshot Copilot, which is making a comeback, partly due to Deadeye. Could a Crack Shot Rho with LRS make sense? Engines are nice for Vader's maneuverability, but he's not terrible as is. Advanced Optics is great, because it allows Quickdraw to start his missile run with Focus/TL. LWF is always solid.

I really think engine is a must have for vader in this meta, he really merda to avoid been shot

Another thought: Keep Vader as is, change QD as suggested, and use a control cannon Nu, or a TAP with title, AT, and choice of missile.

My friend is flying almost this exact same list but Sabacc instead of the alpha class and qd has a different mod. Its an effective list and i do like the idea of an a-class star wing instead.
