Looking at the second edition format, I have noticed the point cost similarity of these two pairs of ships:
The first is the top two TIE X1 pilots:
TIE Advanced x1 - Darth Vader - 73
•Darth Vader - Black Leader (70)
Fire-Control System (3)
TIE Advanced x1 - Maarek Stele - 53
•Maarek Stele - Servant of the Empire (50)
Fire-Control System (3)
Total: 126/200
The second is the top two Fang pilots:
Fang Fighter - Old Teroch - 56
•Old Teroch - Mandalorian Mentor (56)
Fang Fighter - Fenn Rau - 68
•Fenn Rau - Skull Leader (68)
Total: 124/200
I did include fcs for the TIE X's because I think the upgrade is a no brainer and it evened out the points. Both builds leave room for a nice support ship. However, I wanted to ask which has the edge? Concordia Face Off is amazing, but always threatening a crit is powerful as well. Force vs extra range 1 bonuses seems to lean towards force for me, but it's hard to turn down a fice dice attack. Token stripping seems to beat out crit choice because it is a more consistent threat, but again, close.
What are the thoughts of everybody else? Any standouts in your mind?
