Now that the initial "OMG DooooOoooOOom!" reaction has passed most players are ready to happily ignore angled deflectors. Of course that just makes me want to tinker with it. With that in mind I'm not just posting the list below for critique, but ask that everyone post their own lists integrating AD. Let's make this upgrade situationally functional people!

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
Battle Meditation (10)
R4 Astromech (2)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Squad Seven Veteran (46)
Elusive (3)
Seventh Fleet Gunner (9)
R2 Astromech (3)
Angled Deflectors (6)

Squad Seven Veteran (46)
Elusive (3)
Seventh Fleet Gunner (9)
R2 Astromech (3)
Angled Deflectors (6)
Total: 197

The basic concept is obvious; use battle meditation to grant each ARC a second action to gain a reinforce token. With a bit of luck, the big guys can make it through the initial engagement with minimal dings and live long enough to disengage and recharge ... well everything.

Post your lists. Kibitz. Enjoy.

Angled Deflectors

(52) "Redline" [TIE/ca Punisher]
(13) Proton Torpedoes
(6) Angled Deflectors
Points: 71

(47) Lieutenant Sai [Lambda-class T-4a Shuttle]
(4) ST-321
Points: 51

(67) Darth Vader [TIE Advanced x1]
(2) Fire-Control System
(6) Afterburners
Points: 75

Total points: 197

Definately add Passive Sensors to Redline!!

Vi Moradi + Angled Deflectors

Rey + Rose Tico + Amilyn Holdo + Finn

Nien Nunb + Heroic + R2 Astromech + Integrated S-Foils + Pattern Analyzer + Black One

The base being the Pod + Ray with Holdo, snatching Moradi's reinforce token at INI 5, Nien is there cause he shares INI with Rey and is a decent threat.

The main problem, ofc, being that people will just try to kill the pod and its a 3 hull, 2 agility beast of a ship - but if you can hide it for a few rounds, they have to contend with Reinforced Rey.

Also: @JBFancourt That's a nice synergy between Sai and Redline's reinforce, gives him a pseudo adv sensors, while Sai gets reinforce or reinforce +TL. Neat!

Why not Passive Sensors on Redline? Seems better than the bid...

Hmm... Don't bother Reinforcing, just Focus.

Redline is an int 5 pilot, I have flown him... a lot. You just don't need it with his ability and makes the bid the value decision. Only sensors id consider of the top of my head would be ColDet and AdSen

Saw (Leia, Angled Deflectors)

Biggs

Gold Squad Pilot (Selfless, ICT, VTG)

Arvel (Intimidation, Predator)

Saw is there purely as support for this infuriatingly hard to kill list

4LOM - Angled deflectors, ADSen, Title, Crack Shot,

Zuckuss - Angled Deflectors, Contraband. Fearless

Palob - Angled Deflectors, Tiltle, Lando, Shield Upgrade
