Looking for List Comments prior to local store championships/regionals

By firefighter35, in X-Wing

Hi All,

In anticipation for the this year's competitive run, and really wanting to see new ships in a build for them (not the same old swarm list, doomshuttle etc). Need some honest comments on this and I know some will be speculation based on some limited experiences playing with new ships!

Ok, list time:

Darth Vader + Concussion Missiles + Squad Leader

Gamma Squadron Pilot + Assault Missiles

Black Squadron Pilot + VI

Lt. Lorrir + Stealth Device

Total: 99pts

Basic plan here is to run Vader with the bomber to let missiles go with bonuses from SL and Vader's double ability. Then either run BSP with them or with Lt Lorrir? Was going to use Lorrir as a distractor, like Vader can be used for cheaper, and make use of the amazing amount of position options to get shots without getting shot. Simply want to take out main or hurt it a bunch with missiles and then use all ships to mini swarm the rest? Again, played this once and it worked but don't want to keep pressing this if it is a dumb idea? Trying to keep PS at or above 4 if I can?

Comments are welcome and other options can be suggested as well. I NEED a good competitive list for March that I can practice with!

Thanks in advance

what ships do u have available?

I have multiples of all imperial ships

id try and find room for a Bounty Hunter or Buzzsaw shuttle (Omicron + FCS + Gunner + Engine Upgrade), both of these ships are very durable and should help versus B-Wings which seem to be popping up in lots of rebel squads right now.

here are some possibilities:

Squad#1

Lt. Lorrir + Stealth Device (26)

Bounty Hunter + Recon Specialist (36)

Darth Vader + Engine Upgrade + Assault Missiles (38)

Total: 100pts

Squad#2

Lt. Lorrir (23)

Omicron Group Pilot + Fire Control System + Gunner + Intelligence Agent + Engine Upgrade (33)

Sabre Squadron + Veteran Instincts (22)

Sabre Squadron + Veteran Instincts (22)

Total: 100pts

I have a question about the shuttle. Seems to me more people are considering it but I think I am missing something!?

I tried the doom shuttle once and I had a hell of a time getting shots so I could use the crit ability.

The above rendition I have seen here often. How is it to be flown and why is it a good combo for the interceptor group?
