As soon as I get back to in-person X-Wing, I'm going to have to get some lab work done.
Not that kind of lab work: this kind of 'lab work.
Moves fast. Hits hard. Blocks and Cracks. Grievous nasty; dude certainly has some kinda virus.

Bought 3x Servants of Strife, so I'm keen to put multiple Belbullabs on the table too. One point of tension:
Feethan Ottraw Autopilot (35)
Ship total: 35 Half Points: 18 Threshold: 3
Techno Union Bomber (25)
Plasma Torpedoes (9)
Landing Struts (1)
Ship total: 35 Half Points: 18 Threshold: 3
The TUB is often more durable because of Networked Calculations. Is always having 3 dice without lock worth the reduced durability?
I would argue that 3 dice, without the need for locks + shields, and a stronger dial is worth it. I think the hyena is great but droids need more droids for them to work. Each of these ships can function independently.

TUB also flies like... well.. a bath tub. 😄
Don't get me wrong, in the right list Hyenas are great. That actually winds up being *most* Separatist lists. But it's going to be a radically different kind of list. It's like the difference between playing classic Howlrunner TIE Swarm and playing massed TIE Strikers. Swapping part out for the other doesn't really leave you with the same list. Not necessarily a bad one, but just really different.

That said, if I was swapping out some Bubbles for Hyenas, I'd drop the Feethan Ottraws for two TUBs with Struts and Concussion Missiles, plus DRK-1 Probe Droids, for long-range locks. That'll help everyone, if you can get those locks off early enough. The pair of Hyenas won't be all that mobile compared to some FOA, but shouldn't be too bad, and the ability to land on rocks is nice.

Put this on the table recently:
Those Autopilots! I only flew Hyena/Vulture lists before -- those Autopliots give the list a lot of flexibilty because you have some true flankers. Still need to put in more practice. TA-175 hasn't been that relevant yet, so I'm wondering if I should swap the carrier out for Grievous or Wat Tambor...

That list is so clean, I like it.
