Going to to my third tournament in as many years of playing X-Wing - more to support my FLGS then anything else ? . I love Strikers and want to get my Gunboats on the table in their 1.0 form. So what do you all think of this list?

100 points

Nu Squadron Veteran (26) - Alpha-class Star Wing
XG-1 Assault Configuration (1), Long-Range Scanners (0), Heavy Laser Cannon (7)

•"Countdown" (23) - TIE Striker
Adaptive Ailerons (0), Hull Upgrade (3)

•"Pure Sabacc" (25) - TIE Striker
Determination (1), Adaptive Ailerons (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

Big fan of the Strikers myself and I really like it. Looks like a fun list actually.
Could think of Trickshot on ol' Sabacc there as an alternative to Determination but otherwise, give it a go! Seems like a great way to say goodbye to 1.0 ☺️

Crack Shot is not a bad call on Sabbac.

He's moderately fragile and his special ability folds even faster than he does - giving him at least one turn of highly modified fire with a cheap discard EPT is not a bad plan. The other option is Adrenaline Rush; try using a Strikers' awesome ailerons + red dial combination without picking up stress or losing your action.

Great feedback. Having never used Adrenaline Rush I think that’s what I’ll take. Practice tomorrow afternoon so I’ll let you know how I go on...

If your not running linked battery, perhaps one of these instead:

Nu Squadron Pilot (18)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Flechette Cannon (2)
Linked Battery (2)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
XG-1 Assault Configuration (1)

Total: 27

Nu Squadron Pilot (18)
Harpoon Missiles (4)
Ion Cannon (3)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
XG-1 Assault Configuration (1)

Total: 26

Still gets you that 4 dice alpha, full modded. Provides control, and fletchette can slam and fire, while ion does ion things for Sabaac to get range 1. Can drop hull upgrade on countdown for more points. Fletchette lets you reload harpoon, get a weapon disabled, and still fire with linked battery mod. Linked battery is really nice.

Can do HLC w/linked and Harpoon/Concussion missile by dropping hull from countdown.

Thanks @wurms good builds but being a Galactic Empire/First Order only player and not into the tournament scene I don’t have the Guns for Hire Harpoon Missile expansion pack ?

You could drop to cruise missiles and get a linked battery for the other gunboat, too?

Won one, lost one in my practice against Rebels. First one I managed to get two ships in a kill box and devastated them. With only one ARC remains the other player folded. I was worried about that list too as he had stress control but I managed to avoid that ship. Second on I was up against the Ghost with Hera, Autoblaster turret, Accuracy Corrector. Horrible. Try as I might I was failing the get out of range 1 in the end. One turn insta-death when a Striker got caught. If I did get out of what would’ve been range he simply changed the dial with Hera’s ability and higher pilot skill meant he knew exactly where I was. When he got the last Striker in range 1 I stopped him rolling and just applied the damage cards! I hope these elements don’t make it to 2.0! No dice rolling horrible!
