2.0 Casual flying list - first time flying Empire

By moedin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Any critic on this? I have access to a limited ship list with a lot of TIEs, 2x Interceptor and Lambda shuttle to play Empire with in my friends 2.0 collection. I was playing Rebel in 1.0 but have not upgraded or bought into 2.0 yet so I am using this. Let me know what changes or list you guys would suggest, first time Empire player here.

Edited by moedin

This is a tough, fairly fragile list to fly "casually".

I'd swap the HLC on the Lambda to an Ion Cannon personally, and I wouldn't bother with the FCS on the Shuttle.

Hmm, I like that list! One interesting thing about Soontir is that he works just fine now with just Predator or something, so you can drop that other stuff and drop the cannon and system from the shuttle for 27 more points, which can be a whole additional TIE Fighter!

Just my opinion though.

Jendon does not allow target locks to be acquired by ships that cannot lock, so he's not doing much here. Maybe Sai?
