I’m not sure heightened perception has as strong of a value in Hyperspace with a lot of the main i6 pilots removed from the format. I’m all-in on Optics Kylo myself.

I'm planning to have HP on Kylo with Mag Pulse, as anti I6 tech, but I do love AO on Kylo.

With reduced numbers of I6 I'm actually expecting an increase in their use. I'm guessing that people will be thinking along these lines:

1. Less I6's mean if I have one then I've got an advantage already

2. Dengar has had his points reduced so can be a cheapish power piece in my squad

3. Vader is still 3agi and 3 force and can still wreck face

4. Poe can finally come into his own

5. Vonreg will be OP with less I6's to move after him

Etc, etc.

It will remain to be seen if this will be true or not, but I'll practice for it and if it doesn't come to pass it'll be 9pts I can rearrange.

I would recommend giving Daredevil a try on the major. This ship is a great platform to try it since you can get a target lock then do the red boost. And one blue maneuver after clears both tokens. Normally a downside to Daredevil is not being able to have modded shots but the tie/ba doesn't have that issue.

Daredevil opens up a dial so much, especially for a flanking ship. I think there's a thread talking about Daredevil on soontir that can get into a lot of the tricks you can do with it.

But that's my personal preference. :)

the hard 1 to a hard 1 boost., intressting. When you say that the tie ba wont have any mods? Dont u take a lock for a strain if u remain behind the enemy ship? I would then hard 1 boost , a compleet u turn. Intressting. I will try both ways

Yesss, give Vonreg Daredevil! Proud Tradition is entirely too self-sabotaging on such an ace.

I second @kempokid with AdOps Kylo, it's all he needs to shine!

I would advise then rounding out the list with 2 Epsilons with Pattern Analyzer or Holo with Daredevil!

PT can work on Holo and Ember as Holo can pass off the stress and for Ember, technically, the trigger for the opponent is in the aftermath step of performing an attack and therefore they can't spend a focus to flip it (assuming they are damaged and don't want to take a crit).

No PA for hyperspace now. Could bump them to Zeta's w/ AdOps.

THANK YOU. This actually seems like a viable use of PT, even if it is very situational.

Yeah, very niche as you really have a small window of opportunity on Ember.

It also allows you to bring debris and focus after overlapping them.

I've tried this now in two games with great success. The 3 FO ties stay together and move into block and cause trouble.

The two SFs come in at the side. I flew Vonreng like Soontir.
