Imps for Tonight

By TheHumanHydra, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Might be going to the store for game night for the second time ever. I need to figure out an Imperial list.

With two Interceptors, one Phantom and one Striker, what can I build? If I borrow a Star Wing, TAP, Defender, Aggressor or two, couple Fighters, or Bomber from my brother, can I build something better (preferably leaning on my own ships)? Here's a starting point --

Soontir Fel (52)
Predator (2)

Alpha Squadron Pilot (34)

“Whisper” (54)
Juke (5)

“Duchess” (42)
Predator (2)

Total: 191

-- but I feel there's too much squish and too much asked of my skill. I'm kind of scared of flying the Phantom.

The Alpha could become one of them new VTG Aggressor hotnesses (with but a three-point bid). Or a Barrage Bomber. Those would provide some more beef.

Soontir Fel (52)
Predator (2)
Hull Upgrade (7)

“Duchess” (42)
Predator (2)
Fifth Brother (9)

Sienar Specialist (30)
Ion Cannon Turret (4)
Veteran Turret Gunner (6)

Ion Cannon Turret (4)

I dunno.

Don't be scared of the Whisper Phantom, she just wants to kill everyone for you :D

Here is a very knife fight of a list, you seem to like Soontir so I made a point to keep him in the squad

Soontir Fel — TIE Interceptor
Predator
Ship Total: 54
Half Points: 27 Threshold: 2
“Whisper” — TIE/ph Phantom
Juke
Collision Detector
Fifth Brother
Ship Total: 74
Half Points: 37 Threshold: 3
Darth Vader — TIE Advanced x1
Hate
Fire-Control System
Afterburners
Ship Total: 76
Half Points: 38 Threshold: 3

As it stands this list sits at 204 the choice difference being either Afterburners with Vader or Collision Detector with Whisper. On Whisp CD will help your comfort flying near obstacles. I have found that afterburners on Vader helps with arc dodging/arc targeting.

Argh, am not able to go, it turns out. That's a real nice list. You're right, CD will help with my inevitable asteroid bowling. Unfortunately, Vader's not available to me as I know my brother will fly him. I'll have to think of someone else. Thanks, though -- I'm actually going to recommend that to my brother since he likes all three of those ships.
