Alpha-class Star Wing - •Major Vynder - 49
•Major Vynder - Pragmatic Survivor (41)
Advanced SLAM (3)
Xg-1 Assault Configuration (0)
Ion Cannon (5)

TIE/ca Punisher - •“Redline” - 61
•“Redline” - Adrenaline Junkie (44)
Advanced Sensors (8)
Proton Torpedoes (9)

TIE Advanced x1 - •Darth Vader - 85
•Darth Vader - Black Leader (70)
Fire-Control System (3)
Supernatural Reflexes (12)

Total: 195/200

Something I've been testing. Needs work but more I think because I'm not used to flying these ships. Deep-ish bid considering there's an initiative spread.

Thoughts welcome.

Ive been running something similar and its been tearing **** up. I fly vynder with proton torps though and flank with him while everyone goes for redline. Vader chills until things are dead. Vynder been getting around 3 torps off every game.

With vynder and redline both with recharging torps, Vader is mostly free to go about his business as your opponent doesnt want either one running off and recharging.

Not sure if an ion cannon scares people the same way, and they can go aggressive for vader after redline dies.

I think there's a logic to swapping FCS on Vader for Afterburners. Those boosts can clear you out of bad situations, preventing you from losing that major point investment. Meanwhile, Vader has the action economy to just get new Locks. Something to think about. FCS isn't bad, but it's also probably some of the easier points to cut (Supernatural being fixed, and Redline having no real cuts available).

I'll also agree with @wurms that Vynder isn't too scary with only an Ion Cannon for 49 points. For the same price, you could run a Nu with XG-1, Proton Torpedo, and Ion Cannon. No Advanced SLAM, but you'll have a serious damage threat if left alone.

Another option: Vader with just Supernatural, and swap FCS and/or Advanced SLAM for some sort of Torpedo on Vynder (Proton or Advanced Proton).
