I think with Hask you are better teaming up an ace with as many bodies as you can cram in. With a potential third die, a double modded Rivas is nothing to sneeze at.

I played this a couple times and have enjoyed it. ATC garnered a lot of calculates throughout.

Having that calculate on hand, when you do a red maneuver or bump is really nice. There also we're times where I still had my focus on the ties by the time I shot and didn't need to grab the calculate. But it's nice the fist couple turns or engagement being able to have most ties with focus/calculate from terex and atc. Terex is incredible value as well!

Although no bid for kylo is a bummer but I love the list.

If you don't mind losing Kylo, you can get a list that's brutally efficient, with SIX bodies, a TON of health, and lots of arc coverage... Plus, less triggers to remember!

I think this and Malarus with 6 FOs are the strongest Xi lists. Just stuff as many bodies in to mass fire and keep anybody from getting to close to the shuttle.

I like the sound of this list just not sure if it would be worth the upgrades to drop a SF and go from I2s to I3s.

Although I do like the list with Gideon and 5xZetas it seem great. I just can't seem to decide between that list and the one I'm posting.

More ships like the SF on the board seems great but one less and the others with Advanced Optics seems good to.

I'll probably just flip a coin to pick but if anyone has any actual play time with a list like the one I'm posting please let me know.

I also like this one with 4xSF I2s and Gideon loaded with Terex, Jams and Fanatical for the eventual damage.
