• Lady Godiva - Duchess 42 (no upgrades) 42
• Colonel Vessery 88 (Juke 4) 92
• Whisper 52 (Juke 4, FCS 3, Krennic 5) 64
  • Wiggle or bid, 2 points.

Two nimble little ships, with a hard-hitting tank in Vessery. Juke seems good on Phantoms since they get free evades when they decloak. FCS+Krennic is only 8 points, and will both set up turn-after-turn dice mods on Whisper, as well as powering Vessery's TLs and providing OptProt to one of the other ships in the list. Vessery lives longer, and shooting last he might be able to take advantage of the "expose a card" aspect of the 2e condition. On the other hand, Duchess shooting first could spend focus (58% chance to have a focus on 3 dice, so you don't need to spend a hit/crit) results to cancel shields, while barrel rolling or saving a token for defense.

I think you nailed that Whisper build, seems solid and lean. With more points, a hull upgrade could maybe be good on her because she doesn't pay too much for it, but it's by no mean necessary. Vessery is strong and synergize well with whisper. There's just naked duchess i'm concerned with. I'm not sure she'll be that good without lightweight frame anymore. But it's very cheap, so maybe i'm wrong!

Read Krennic crew again
It's one of the big deal of placing krennic in a phantom in 2.0, it make the system slot even better.

But I agree with you, duchess won't be able to feed vessery, so it's probably better to try and find a ship that can TL just for those time were you want to keep your options open on who to shoot.

maybe a tricked-out bomber would fit?

Oops, I was reading Kallus. Stupid fake space opera names.

She's just so cheap. 21 points in 1e equivalent. I can't really think of too much good stuff to put on her (Elusive? Strikers love S-Loops...). Anything else doesn't really make sense to me.
