In the team epic event at World's, I played against Soontir Fel with swarm tactics knocking up a 6 ship Jonus Swarm to initiative 6. That had potential to do a ton of damage. Great flying by me partner kept the damage down by spreading out the shots to multiple targets along with her insane evade rolls. I agree that Diamond Boron will be a thing. I had that on my Jonus and he caught 4 Sigmas with one missile. Being able to use a Tie swarm with 7 named pilots was a lot of fun, but keeping track of all the abilities got a little tedious.

So, we knew we that wings activate at the Ini of the wing leader. Are you saying wings also engage at the Ini of the wing leader? That could be nasty.

I'm not seeing Marrak Steele, who has the ability to pick crits that get extra effects based on where he's shooting a huge ship from.

It's a good point. He can get away without Dreadnaught Hunter for sure because he had a higher chance of activating the Precision Shot no matter his attack vector. It's just that sometimes the Precision Shot from his position isn't great, and having the option to choose a more damaging crit is nice. For example, if you absolutely must get their weapon offline, it doesn't matter where he is in relation to the huge ship - you have a high likelihood of drawing a crit with the Precision Shot that turns a weapon off.

She's good (Sloane), but she was already mentioned in the companion thread that focuses on crew. She will paint a huge bullseye (pun intended) on whatever ship she's placed on, so it will be interesting to see how she's played. Probably Turbolaser fodder, but that is a pretty expensive weapon to use.

Admiral Sloane might become a target, but on a Raider, that is not always bad. It can take on small ships and big ships. You more worry about ships running away with her.

Tarkin is going to be brutal!!! He can give TL's to ships that can't even get them on their own. I built a list with Raider + Targeting Battery + Tarkin as well as 6 Tie Interceptors and 4 Tie Fighters. The TL will really help.

Agent Kallus is also going to be fantastic to hunt a Huge ship. A Raider with a ton if Bonus Attacks is going to love the free Calculate for EACH attack. Crazy good and only 5 pts.

Minister Tua is good for obvious reasons. It translates to get a free Reinforce for 1 Energy.

Moff Jerjerrod will be good for lists with lots of ships. Put him on a Gozanti.

Perceptive Copilot will be good for obvious reasons.

I can even see Gonk being good. 1 action to get a Shield. Not bad for a ship with 2 Actions. Can also have a nearby ship Coordinate the big guy to do a different action, too.
