How is it working out for you? i have another list with , Redline, Torps/advs , Soontir (naked) and Vader with fcs and afterburners ) i think i wanna try that one out aswell

Would be interested to know how the Grand Inquisitor gets on. I love the ship but he seems very overpriced and his force management is problematic. Been loving Seventh Sister or a generic Inquisitor with SNR, but they don't anchor a list. Their main gun is a bit weak so they're more a massive nuisance than a main threat.

Either would save some points for a few more Redline toys, but it maybe leaves the list a little unbalanced.

You wanna talk PS kills.... oh man this!

Redline Forever!

Don’t worry about no Afterburners on Vader. He’s not going to flank. You straight joust with him right next to Redline. It’s hilarious but NO ONE will shoot Vader. They’ll go for Redline. It’s like he’s got old Biggs ability. They WILL kill Redline, but not before he gets both Torps off. Then for the late game you have Vader and Soontir. Wicked combo.

Soontir is your flanker but MAKE SURE that you’re not flying him conservative: 1) he’s the lowest priority target 2) you get the Biggs effect and want to make use of concentrated fire on Redline 3) you need all guns on target to start the PS kill chain 4) if they turn their forces around to kill a 54 pt Soontir (who is still guaranteed to get his shot at ps 6) and leave Redline and Vader behind them YOU HAVE ALREADY WON!

Be aggressive with this build. Good luck!

Possible Variant: I am torn about FCS on Vader. Don’t know whether to drop it for bid. Benefits are you save a lock for bumps/k turns. Downside is it’s effectiveness is mitigated by the target not normally remaining long enough after a Soontir/Vader/Redline barrage.

Also above is your shot order. Soontir should shoot first to strip tokens and shields followed by Vader and Reds crits.

Sometimes I don’t focus/lock with Redline because Vader/Fel will ps kill before Red shoots. I sometimes have to double lock to keep options open.

I like afterburners on Vader, FCS I could live without. Or swap in FCS and get more of a bid...
