Squadmates!

I’m a longtime Imperial player and can’t figure out the final tweak for my latest list. I am most comfortable with aces. I don’t want to go straight gunboat super load out and kinda want to do my own thing. I don’t know if Kylo is best for advanced sensor/super maneuverable but he crushes a lot of points. So inquisitor is a good squirrelly ship with fewer options and more vulnerabilities. Also, defender is much better than AP but AP has its benefits and defender takes options away from QD. I feel like I am almost to a solution and have been flying both for practice and have had success but I’m just curious if I’m missing something or that you, the much smarter community, has a perspective that I am just not seeing. Thanks!! My two thoughts are:

Or

first one

Honestly the best way to get comfortable and understand your list is to fly them. Take List one and really fly it into the ground. You’ll learn from your reps if Kylo flies the way you want and to your play style. I found the AS isn’t suiting me but I am still playing in the pool to see if I can adjust and do start to like it.

You could put one of the 0 points EPT's on Vessery. I'm partial to A score to settle, but trick shot or adapt. can't hurt.

I haven't flown the silencer enough to say if I like it, but one of the guys in our circle flies that build of Kylo with 2 deadeye, Rho's, and he's a monster with it.

If your local meta has bombs at all, the Inquisitor is not going to end well. Nym with bombs will destroy him fast.

Split the difference? 36 point Quickdraw from List #2. 47 point Kylo from #1. Add a 17 point Epsilon Squadron Pilot with Advanced Optics. 100 points.

Love ASTS on Vessery. It's almost like a free Expertise. Well, not that almost, but still.

These are rather tough choices!

In the 2nd list, f you dropped Vessery down to a nice little Omega Leader, you would have room for Vader instead of Inky.

I don't particularly like the 1st list, as, in my time flying against Kylo, if he does go down, you're $#!+ outta luck, and that list makes him a key first target.

I like the look of the second list you have. Of course I may be a bit bias as I'm a fan of lists that include the defender in there.

Also agree with dropping ASTS on Vessery for 0 as stated by others above.
