Not a fan of any of them, but if I had to fly one, it would be the last one. Maarek is better than an inquisitor so that rules out List #1. Ive flown against 5 strikers and Wampa, so just 5 strikers, even though one is Sabaac, doesnt scare me so much. Versus any aces list, they are confortable once its down to three strikers or so and can ps kill one. The third list is just a very weaker version of imperial 5's. Instead of Howl, Scourge, Mauler you have 3 ps1 strikers which I think is a downgrade. So list #4 it is. I think inquisitors can last on the table for awhile. Just depends on flying them in a way to threaten the enemy enough to NOT attack Maarek and leave Maarek alive for the midgame when shields are depleting and Maarek just goes to work.

I've actually been toying around with the Advanced v1 too.

If you're looking for a fun list that can do well if you're on your game then give this a shot:

Inquisitor (38)
Supernatural Reflexes (8)
Fire-Control System (2)

Inquisitor (38)
Supernatural Reflexes (8)
Fire-Control System (2)

Inquisitor (38)
Supernatural Reflexes (8)
Fire-Control System (2)

Soontir Fel (52)
Predator (2)
Total: 198

Once you've gone a few games with Supernatural TIE v1 Inquisitors, you'll really miss it!

Supernatural boost or barrel roll into a linked red focus, blue maneuver, take a lock, evade or do the other re-position is nutty good fun.

I have a fair amount of flying time with the V1, but never with SR. I have considered it though. Soontir is one I’ve never flown.

You could do what a few of us are doing for our local CAC! Two of us are making a list for the other of a faction they don't own (I'm building Republic for a friend, he's building FO for me) and then I'm also going to be making a list of a yet undecided faction for another friend. We're all going in blind and won't know what we're flying till we get there!
