After an X-Wing drought of a few months, I finally have a casual game lined up.
And so, I'm looking for some fun fleets with what we have available.
Our combined fleets have:
6 Tie Fighters
2 Tie Interceptors
2 Tie Advanced
2 Tie Bombers
2 Firespray-31s
1 Lambda Class Shuttle
1 A-Wing
1 Y-Wing
2 YT-1300s
2 HWK-290s
3 B-Wings
3 X-Wings
We're fine with proxying upgrades.
Omicron Group Pilot + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade (32)
Bounty Hunter + Mercenary Copilot (35)
Bounty Hunter (33)
Lots of large base ships, giving you practice on flying them. The Firesprays are quite maneuverable. And the doom shuttle, if you can keep it in arc, will tear things apart.
you will not see this squad anywhere (probably for good reason) but i can say that it is fun and play and more competitive than it looks.
Darth Vader/Shield Upgrade/Assault Missiles (38)
Maarek Steele/PTL/Shield Upgrade (34)
Turr Phennir/PTL (28)
if u like fighters then this might be worth a try. assault missiles on vader could be homing missile or even concussion missiles. all 3 ships are flankers and are not designed for a frontal assault. double actions on all ur ships is very good. ur playing more of a cat and mouse game trying to get free shots and keep out of firing arcs (yes Han Shoots First would not be a great matchup for you, or anything with ions cannon/blaster turret). Having said that i narrowly lost a game to a double falcon squad.
the core of the squad are the tie-advaced but that intercepter (28pts) could be switched out for anything really.
two cheap tie-fighters, Dark Curse or Backstabber teamed with an Academy Pilot, Soontir Fel even an Omicron Pilot with gunner
totally depends on what u like flying.
These are not really in the casual mold and u might get a few frowns for playing it but...
Veteran Swarm
Howlrunner + Stealth Device + Swarm Tactics (23)
Dark Curse (16)
Backstabber (16)
Black Squadron Pilot + Veteran Instincts (15)
Black Squadron Pilot + Veteran Instincts (15)

with a few tweeks this squad can be altered slightly as well...

Backstabber (16)
Black Squadron Pilot + Veteran Instincts (15)
Black Squadron Pilot + Veteran Instincts (15)
