Hi everyone, I've been trying to find something decent to do with Saï with the shuttle title and a Decimator.
The idea behind it is Coordinating the Deci with Saï. Taking a Reinforce action with the Deci, thus giving Saï a Reinforce also + a Target lock if any ennemis ships are close to the Deci.
How to load them, with what Wing mate
What are your thougths?
New Squadron
(47) Lieutenant Sai [Lambda-class T-4a Shuttle]
(2) Tractor Beam
(11) Emperor Palpatine
(4) Shield Upgrade
(2) Fire-Control System
(4) ST-321
Points: 70
(76) Rear Admiral Chiraneau [VT-49 Decimator]
(14) Darth Vader
(5) 0-0-0

(6) Proximity Mines
(2) BT-1
(3) Shield Upgrade
(4) Swarm Tactics
(4) Dauntless
(6) Ion Torpedoes

IMHO that won’t work.
My thoughts are you still need something mobile to cover your butt:
New Squadron
(52) Grand Inquisitor [TIE Advanced v1]
(2) Fire-Control System
Points: 54
(76) Rear Admiral Chiraneau [VT-49 Decimator]
(14) Darth Vader

Points: 94
(47) Lieutenant Sai [Lambda-class T-4a Shuttle]
(0) Jamming Beam
(4) ST-321
Points: 51
Total points: 199
Was thinking something Along the line off:
New Squadron
(47) Lieutenant Sai [Lambda-class T-4a Shuttle]
(2) Fire-Control System
(4) ST-321
Points: 53
(76) Rear Admiral Chiraneau [VT-49 Decimator]
(4) Dauntless
Points: 80
(32) "Mauler" Mithel [TIE/ln Fighter]
Points: 32
(32) "Scourge" Skutu [TIE/ln Fighter]
Points: 32
Total points: 197
Question is, would you drop Dauntless for Swarm Tactics on RAC, and potentially have 4 attack at ini5 ?
Edited by HellvomitI’m a Deci player and I cannot emphasize enough that dauntless is ABSOLUTELY necessary!
Read this if you’re thinking of taking the Deci out for a spin. It’s a great read even tho you’re wanting a 3 ship build.

5th bro Whisper fits
or grand inqy with fcs sense. Leaves 8pts for gergerrod boosts. Sense the enemy in system phase and boost RAC and SAI accordingly. Get those surprise blocks.
Or Echo with Fifth and Juke?
Ok I've tried this a lot on Fly Casual (I know it's bit as good as real players matchup) and I must say it feel really good.

remove fcs from lambda and take grand inquisitor with sense and advanced sensors
Sai (Title, Jamming Beam)
RAC (Grand Inquisitor)
Soontir (Predator)
So Sai does Sai things, giving RAC a Reinforce, taking a reinforce, and getting a lock. RAC locks and has GrInky to potentially focus, rotate, or coordinate Soontir. Soontir does his excellent Ace-y things to cover the big b@stards' blind spots. If Sai goes does, GrInky guarantees RAC continued access to reinforce/lock, or, on a bump, reinforce

I like this a lot. I'm really hoping Grand Inquisitor crew sees a little drop in January. It's never used.
I tried this in a tourney earlier this year, points were different though, I think for the bid I had to drop dauntless. Only game I lost was against a rebel junk swarm but only played a 5 games total with it.
You're right, Sai and Deci approaching, both reinforced and with other mods going on is quite intimidating. And then it just flies past and butt shots anyway by which point, Soontir is firmly inserted and doing his thing I would consider targeting comp on Soontir now with this, the co'ord into repostion is strong and then he can TL as an action.
