So this is my first Post. I was so excited about the TIE Reaper article today, that I just had to post.

The Tactical Officer and Director Krennic (or more to the point Optimized Prototype) are game changers for my love of the Empire. I present to you:

Beauty and the Beast

TIE Defender - Countess Ryad (34)

TIE/D (0)

Twin Ion Engine MKII (1)

Push The Limit (3)

Tractor Beam (1)

VT-49 Decimator - Captain Oicunn (42)

Engine Upgrade (4)

Push The Limit (3)

Ysanne Isard (4)

Tactical Officer (2)

Director Krennic (5)

Total 99pts

So, the fun begins when Ysanne kicks in. Keep both Pilots stress free during activation, then at the beginning of combat Oicunn can take an evade action to PTL either

A) Coordinate the Countess to Barrel Roll Arc Dodge then PTL Target Lock (assuming a Focus Action during Activation)

or

B) Boost Arc Dodge himself out of harms way

The Countess gets an extra shield, can strip shields by spending dice (during Primary attack) and Oicunn gets a Free Target lock during Combat after the Countess attacks!

I am just beside myself on how awesome this sounds... wondering if reality matches what is going on in my mind right now.
