TIE Interceptors and a Shuttle

By Regnak, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Never flown Interceptors or the shuttle before, reckon this will work?

Turr Phennir - Daredevil

Saber Squadron Ace - Daredevil

Saber Squadron Ace - Daredevil

Lieutenant Sai - Ciena Ree + Advanced Sensors

198 pts. Thought about adding a Jamming Beam to the shuttle on the off chance it was useful as a 2pt bid doesn't seem to be enough.

Jamming beam is useless, so better to keep the 2 point bid. You will not need it very often, but when you come up to other Initiative 4, its unlikely they will bid and you will be glad you have the choice.

Daredevil seems wrong on Interceptors - they want to be able to use their autothrusters.

And Sai deserves the title lol

I looked at the title and then thought about Tarkin, they don't work together however. Alternative build for the shuttle is Omicron, Krennic, Tarkin and Advanced Sensors.

What else should I look at putting on the Interceptors?

I go with crack shot. Bullseye arc is not super easy to line up all the time, but you should be able to get it at least once per game, and that's all you need to get value out of crackshot. The nice thing is, you won't be forcing it---when it happens, you get a free point of damage more or less. As you get more experienced with the list, you will find it easier to plan for the bullseye and it will happen more naturally. And extra damage is always helpful.

It also has the benefit of freeing up more points. You could use them for the shuttle or possibly go with Soontir instead of Turr (if you did take Soontir, then predator is definitely worth it over crack shot on him).

Oh and I would try to stick with Lt. Sai in the shuttle. That ability (plus title) is quite worth it if you are going to bother running a shuttle.
