What ships have been surprising you?

That is particularly naughty.

I've not got it on the table yet but we're playing some Hyperspace this week, so I've concocted this bulletproof, obvious auto-win, combat phase coord bounce plan with Wampa, SL Rudor, Feroph and a couple of Storm Squad Aces. 1 of the 2 will hopefully appreciate the late Target Lock...

I'm ignoring the strong probability that it will just fall flat on its face. 

....That's also a good one. A TIE advanced with a focus token (especially an elusive storm squadron ace) is actually reasonably tough - and Rudor can let it acquire a lock mid-engagement phase.

I think you'll have to work to justify it (since seeing Rudor as a 32 point upgrade to make a TIE/x1 work, you might as well have bough Vader as a pilot...) but looked at from another way Rudor only costs 9 points more than a basic academy pilot, and 9 points to make a TIE/x1 work isn't too extortionate a price since the easy answer (Colonel Jendon) isn't available yet.

Just trying to figure out who goes where is proving to be a significant work load :D
