Trying Republic for a tournament

By Watcher42, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After a couple of games I really like this list but I wanted to know if there are any improvements that could be made to it

Obi-Wan Kenobi (47)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 2

Plo Koon (44)
Calibrated Laser Targeting (4)

Ship total: 48 Half Points: 24 Threshold: 2

Ric OliƩ (42)
Predator (2)
R2-C4 (5)

Ship total: 49 Half Points: 25 Threshold: 3

"Broadside" (36)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Ship total: 41 Half Points: 21 Threshold: 4


Total: 189

I liked the idea of having C1-10P on plo or kenobi but I was thinking that that larger the bid the better. Could seventh fleet gunner work well here?

One option would be to swap CLT for Foresight. It might trigger from time to time and offers similar benefits in most cases :)

I'd swap to Foresight on Plo since it gives you options at Range 3 (they don't get a range bonus and you can use it "for free" as a standard attack).

Keep CLT on Obi - it synergises better with his Focus-oriented pilot ability.

I have only had real success with Ric when he has Daredevil. Without that he doesn't have enough time on target.

Personally I'd drop R2-C4 from Ric and follow your dreams with C1-10P on Obi.

[edit: your bid will get smaller when Obi's points go up on Thursday!]

I, for one, am a HUGE proponent of CLT. If I am flying Plo, Obi, or Ani, I am taking CLT above 7B EVERY time - way more efficient as long as you are decent enough at lining up bullseyes. So...yeah, big fan of those two.

Broadside is, of course, WILDLY efficient as well - admittedly, if you had the points, I'd choose Matchstick with VTG too, and then use my Jedi to lock him for rerolls. But that's not really an option.

As for Ric, I'm not gonna lie, I just don't feel at all qualified to comment on flying him

I have fought ric with collision detector and it was nasty. It would cut into your bid but I think thats okay. There's something poetic about a 5pt bid with pilot skill 5.
