Lock on target on round 1. Reach range (ideally with a focus). Fire at VP 7.

Fragile

But savage

Bravo

I really like this, might have to give it a go next time I play. My only addition would be why not add Minister Tua to the shuttle for 7 points (or something else), you're engaging at I7 so you don't need the bid.

Bid can still be important for activation -- if you move first, they'll have a much easier time getting out of your arcs, at which point it no longer matters what you engage at.

But unless I'm missing something why would you spend all those points on jendon and high PSd shooting to do 3 dice attacks?

(I'm experimenting with imperial alpha as well and currently prefer to pair Jendon with Proton/Barrage gunboats)

Very true, However, I've been playing 4 tie punishers each at I2 and haven't had much arc problems vs generics. In 2nd edition there are far fewer re positional abilities and those that we have seem to be strapped to aces (who would move last anyway). The fact you want to engage at range 3 with ordnance really opens up your arcs too.

The strength is in the expose. You're rolling 3 red dice with focus vs a maximum of 3 green dice and maybe a focus/evade. This means that most shots should result in a faceup damage card (once you get through shields!) which can be devastating and depending on the list you can focus down one ship or cripple several. You could then do a 5 speed straight next turn and boost to set up for the next round of missiles.

Well.. the way I see it fully modified 4 dice attack with embedded crit > fully modified 3 dice with extra expose. And attack at PS7 vs PS3 is nice, but you're paying the cost of the whole TIE bomber with missiles to pull it off (Jendon, 3 Barons with concussion and scimitar with concussion is 200). The one that ended up working for me (won a small 3-round local tourney with it) was

Sure there are probably dozens of better lists than this one. I posted it just because of the fun combo at VP7 thanks to Heightened Perception. Actually, this trick is Empire-only (for once).

Agreed, although Instinctive aim trick is interesting as well (No need for Jendon anymore, can't be jammed)
