So this past weekend, I was able to attend my first Store Championship of the season, not sure if I'll get to make any others.

I was able to test out this list, and had a great time. I ended up 2nd, but the gap between my list and the winner isn't really close (Nym-Mirranda).

This list is fun, and typical empire flying is needed but it doesn't have enough firepower to take down the regen mirranda.

With Kylo being on the shuttle, you have to bring it into the fight, but that really helps when you have Yorr nearby.

Looking for any suggestions that might help. I'm assuming that the Kylo shuttle is where the replacement should come from.

My main comment is why exactly you want Yorr and Inspiring Recruit.

By which I mean - obviously I know why; he can suck up 1-2 stress tokens (depending on his own move) within range 2 and burn two off in a single green move. But whilst that option is amazing for, say, a TIE/v1 prototype or TIE interceptor with Push The Limit, Vermeil can come about 135' in a turn without using either an action or a red move, Quickdraw has rear guns, and neither ship has an ability which causes stress.

Yes, you can still have stress inflicted on you by R3-A2 or similar, but is that really worth nailing points onto the shuttle for? If all you want is a place for Kylo to stand, an Omicron - even a TIE Shuttle Scimitar Squadron Pilot - could do the same for less points, letting you kit out your 'aces' better (a missile for Quickdraw, for example).

Hi @Magnus Grendel, thanks for the feedback.

I took it for a few reasons. There was a lot of stress mechanics in our local area, which weren't at the SC.

I also wanted to make sure I could sloop with both QD and Vermeil, the 1 sloop is awesome.

the biggest issues were ensuing a couple things.

1. I want to make sure that I could jam after a 1 sloop.

2. I needed to make sure that Yorr was able to use Kylo. I didn't want to stack 2/3 stress and not be able to use Kylo.

The shuttle might be the better option.

By dropping from Yorr at 28 points to shuttle with kylo/LWF at 21, that frees up 7 points for something.

Heck, another reaper could make a much more effective Kylo carrier here, and help you balance out offense. Give the lower PS reaper Krennic and Kylo, so it gets a TL for attacking, while Vermeil has his ability and the condition.

Will look into that. Thanks, sure appreciate the advice.
