So I only have 6 Imperial ships so far, all small ships. 3 Fighters, 1 Advanced, 1 Bomber, and 1 Interceptor.

I've tried using all 6 as a swarm a few times, but didn't have the best luck. Mainly because using the cheapest option for them all gets me to 91 points already. That only leaves 9 points to bump up some PS a bit, or put some payloads in the bomber.

Recently I've had decent success with a 5 ship build though.

Howlrunner = 18

Major Rhymer + Advanced Proton Torpedoes + PTL = 35

Saber Squadron Pilot = 21

Obsidian Squadron Pilot = 13

Obsidian Squadron Pilot = 13

Total = 100

It's pretty dependent on a good first attack pass. Idea is that howl gets an attack on a ship and hopefully makes them waste a focus/evade. Then rhymer does his atp attack with ptl and either destroys or heavily damages the target. The remaining 3 then finish off the target if still alive, or attack a second target and hopefully do decent damage with howl's reroll ability.

Howlrunner + PTL/stealth + swarm tactics = 23

Backstabber = 16

Saber squad + PTL = 21

Gamma + seismic = 20

You have 1 tie left and one advanced. Stay away from the advanced. Go with a black squad + draw their fire + missile or dark curse + stealth, or mauler + VI/swarm tactics. Other options for those remaining points... You get the idea.

This is actually a really solid list.

Only recomendation I have is buy more stuff. Ahem (fire Spray)

Oh and dn't forget Darth Vader!

100pts

Howlrunner + Stealth Device (21)

Darth Vader + Engine Upgrade (33)

Soontier Fel + Push The Limit (30)

Backstabber (16)

Can run one like this:

99pts

Scimitar + Concussion

Tempest + Concussion

Alpha Squad Pilot

Academy Pilot x 3

or

99pts, if you have 2 PTL:

Major Rhymer + PTL + Advanced Proton

Turr Phennir + PTL

Academy Pilot x 3

These are what I would run.
