Now that the Decimator (my favorite ship even though it is not that good) is getting its third crew slot back (and keeping its Gunner Slot) what fun Party Bus ideas do we have to make the Empire great?
Do you go all Darkside and pair Palpatine and Vader up together for a leisure cruise bromance across the stars?
Maybe a handful of officers along with Grand Moff Tarkin for some moral support?
Best and fun ideas are welcome...

Vader + the Inquisition on RAC maybe? Leaves 78 points for other upgrades or 1 or more escorting chaff.

That would be the "Ultimate Inquisition" list... I love it!

You could fit 2 FCS Advanced V1 Inquisitors in with it if you want to go full theme and have 4 points left over. I'm not saying its competitive, just mostly thematic (IIRC Vader and Grand Inqi didn't get along that well).

Edited by HiemfireDeath Troopers+0-0-0+BT-1 is cute on Oiccun
Caution: Piling a bunch of force users on a ship sounds like a lot of fun in theory, but without Maul or Hate it's always a bad idea.
Starting with 3-4 force tokens isn't worth much when you're only regenning 1 per turn, and make no mistake; on a Decimator, you're using either Vader or the Grand Inquisitor every turn. This means there will be only 2-3 turns in the whole game where you can use more than one effect.
Really not worth all that force premium IMO. 1, maybe 2 and you're okay. 3 is a hard no from me and 4 is a terrible decision.
On the other hand, I really like the synergy between Sloane and Death Troopers. Add BT-1 to the mix and put it on RAC and you have a crit-spewing stress-mobile.

🤨 I guess getting a free calc every turn you're at range 0-1 is nice on Oiccun. It's 13 points + Vader pilot though... Would almost be better to invest in one of the Inquisitor crews or Palp...

This is secondhand, but 0-0-0 is there to support the Death troopers, not the other way around. It actually leads to some pretty difficult decisions for the opponent. I think BT-1 got cut in the most recent build, though. Not needing the Inquisitor helps a lot, since the decimator's blues are appalling.

"Gimmi a calc or you get stuck stressed". If 0-0-0 is there to "support" Death Troopers then either the person who told you this doesn't understand that being stressed in range 0-1 of Death Troopers is worse than Oiccun having a pseudo force or the meta they play in really has a hard time wrapping their heads around that simple concept. Like 0-0-0 on Lando's Falcon ("Hey, gimmie a calc or gimmie an extra red die and restrict your maneuver options"), no one who is thinking straight is going to give their opponent a stressed target if the other option is a soft mod... The decision isn't difficult.
