Hey all,

So I have really enjoyed the complimentarity between Rex Brath and Whisper, both with Juke.

But this has left me with a problem: what to do with the remaining 56 points.

I've tried many things, and all have been good, but am wondering what others think could work in that spot. I am trying to get somewhat of a bid. Anyways, thanks for the ideas!

Sabaac to act as a taunt while Rexler and Whisper get behind the enemy.

Sabacc w Predator

This is exactly what I've been flying and I love it. I've been a huge proponent of triple aces and will generally fly this until I can find a suitable replacement for QD + 2 Silencers.

There's a couple variations. I actually have been using AdvS on Rexler, and it's amazing when you treat the Defender as a finisher. The occasions I sacrifice a little action efficiency for a turn are worth the inability to bump him or end up in an unexpected position.

Or I'll cut AdvS off Rexler, add Vader to Whisper, and move Sabacc to Duchess.

I call it Angry Birds, but I'm sure there's a better name out there.

Looks good! I like the idea of of Sabaac as it forces ypur opponent to attack your weaker ship, giving Rex and Whisper longer to go untouched. I find both are monsters in the end game. I'll have to try AdvSensors on Rex.

Another ship to consider might be a Reaper -- Vizier's coordinate action can give your aces that extra level of maneuverability. I'm a big fan of Advanced Sensors on the TIE Defender as well, though you might want to think about an initiative bid if you want to move last.

I really like this idea, actually. It gives me a little room for upgrades too (which I will try as Krennic and FCS on Whisper). I like Vizier helping them both with Action economy. Should be good!

This might sound off-the-wall, but what about flying Captain Kagi and keeping him within range 3 to pull all locks off Brath and Whisper every round? This would diminish the odds of hits getting through and making Brath and Whisper even more elusive. The Coordinate action could also be a plus.

Definitely not off the wall, I just haven't run into the same prevalence of TL's being so dangerous in 2.0 like they were in 1.0 alphas. Everyone is all about them Barrage Rockets. And my aces are generally split up making killboxes at R2ish from totally different directions.

Ion Cannon Turret Kestal on the other hand...

Now we're getting interesting.
