Trick Shot is nice but Silencers really need PTL, Adv Sensors let’s him hide behind rocks and pull off his ability much more than FCS.

So I would run this list if you want to stick to Mauler.

If if you want to have some fun with Omega Ace and roll 5 Crits I would run this.

If you want to maintain the PS7 theme then Scourge with Crack Shot would be an obvious addition. Alternatively, give him Trick Shot and swap Crack Shot on Omega Ace from Swarm Leader as per @Tbetts94 suggestion above.

I really like the addition of Scourge and it definitely completes the PS7 theme. (Only thing now is I need to get his card...)

Proxy! When you’re starting out proxy everything. That way you know what you like and don’t like.

Vynder could also sub out for the TIEs, preserving the PS7 theme!

Why not give Wampa a try?

We're having PS battles (where every ship has the same PS) and my PS7 list is Whisper, T.P. Blackout, and Zeta leader. Built it to be 98 points to make sure I get the initiative bid to keep Whisper safe, but it should be a monster to deal with. Vynder and Backdraft also work really well, but the other player is running them both and I didn't want too much of a mirror match up.
