If you've got access to it, Soontir can use a Targeting Computer now too. Works nicely with his ability, as he's got more room to use that Focus token for defense if needs be. I usually throw the Targeting Computer and Afterburners on him.

That's not a terrible idea. Predator is the standard for getting double mods on him, but targeting computer isn't bad, though it reduces his mobility somewhat to use actions on it, instead of boost+BR, bullseye focus, predator reroll, you're losing a boost or BR, but getting more reroll power.

It ties in nicely with ships that can Coordinate those locks to him before he goes swooping in; and a TL + Focus shot at Range 1 from him can wreck many a ship's day.

If you have access to Targeting Computer, then I would roll with this.

  1. Darth Vader - Afterburners, Passive Sensors
  2. Soontin Fel - Marksmanship, Shield Upgrade, Targeting Computer
  3. Grand Inquisitor - naked boi

I feel like Inquisitor's Force Ability is too good to put Sense on him. With this set up you have 7 points to play around with. Soontir can still do a Roll or Boost after Locking a target. Or he can go for a Range Three Lock and then get in close and personal with a Focus, Marksmanship and Lock. Alternatively:

  1. Darth Vader - Hate, Afterburners, Passive Sensors
  2. Soontin Fel - Predator, Shield Upgrade
  3. Grand Inquisitor - Fire-Control System, Ion Missiles

For 0 bid, fully equiped Vader and Soontir and Grand Inquisitor able to set up a doubletap round for the Initiative 6 bullies.

Nice! Thanks a lot!

Just bought conv kit, 1 more inq, 2 interceptor, bomber, 2 alpha-class and phantom. So let the fun begin :)

Grand Inquisitor is quite okay being naked. You get 6 points of bid, which with an aces squadron is a lot. Grandchampionship was won by a guy flying a naked Grand Inquisitor, Whisper with Passive Sensors and Fifth Brother and Vader with Passive Sensors and Afterburners.

I'd fly a Soontir Fel with Shield Upgrade, Targeting Computer and Marksmanship/Crack Shot, then Vader with Afterburners and Passive Sensors and finally a naked Grand Inquisitor. Or alternatively you can substitute Grand Inquisitor with a "Duchess" with Shield Upgrade and Fifth Brother. Both options have a bid, either 7 or 2 points.

Sounds like a cool list.

I will try out Oli's GI, Whisper, Vader list. Thats looks like a lot of fun. Beginning to like Grand Inquisitor and tie Inq really much now.

-vader passive sensors afterburners

-7th sister

-2x scimitar tie bomber barrage rockets

very efficent list.

all 4 ships want initiative but is not a problem if they don't have it.

a good offensive output

7th sister can be very tanky ship.

you only have to play bombers carefully...
