Imperial aces for tonight.

By dragonorta, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Tonight I'm gonna be flying a list that's close to the first or second list that I flew when learning Xwing. I've always had fun with Omega Leader. Any improvements I can make?

I would suggest to swap Harpoon and Cruise missiles. QD is more prone to do 3-4 speed maneuvers than Inquy who prefers green 1 speed maneuvers

I'm with @Cartchan on who should have which missile. I might also run Advanced Optics on QD instead of Pattern Analyzer. Both have strengths, but AdvO is going to lend itself more towards a big Focus/TL missile shot, which is ideal.

I see a very solid list here! No action econy BETWEEN ships, but heavy action economy on each ship, are the best lists I think. I think the missiles are swapped, for the reason described before.

PS. do you mind if I try it out sometime too?

Played the list last night. I definitely agree with switching the missiles. Trying to stay at range 3 while still using a 4 speed maneuver for Cruise missiles was tough with Inq. I switched Pattern Analyzer to Advanced Optics, and I can say that I play better with PA. But that might be because I played against Fenn in a Sheathipede and a Lowhhrick with hotshot copilot.
