I've been a member of the BGG forum for years. I haven't posted much lately, but it's a good forum. If this is where we go, I'll be there.

If you really want to be annoying, you might look at this: Krassis Trelix - Firespray-class Patrol Craft [65] Ion cannon [6] 4-Lom [2] Conner Nets [3] Total [76] Zealous Recruit [41] Total [41] Zealous Recruit [41] Total [41] Zealous Recruit [41] Total [41] Build total [199] I've not used Krassis, but I've used multiple Fangs. I also know the effects of a ship being ioned. So I'm thinking with Krassis having both an ion cannon and a Conner net (and 4-Lom) that he could be fairly effective at delivering an ion token or three. Therefore... it seems like the above might be pretty good. We've got an Extended tournament coming up the day after Christmas, so if I don't run Guri I might have to try this one.

1) Guri w/Predator; Kavil w/Dorsal turret, Expert handling; Zealous Recruit; Zealous recruit Total 195 2) Skull Squadron Pilot w/Predator; Skull Squadron Pilot w/Predator; Black Sun Assassin w/Predator; Black Sun Assassin w/Predator Total 198 I prefer simplicity, and both of the above builds work. Build 2) originally had all four with Crack Shot, and at 198 you could change two of the four Predators to Crack Shots.

I was really curious how these guys would do against the higher initiative pilots. There are enough of them that usually you're getting shots on the target you want to shoot at.

It was a hyperspace event, so no shenanigans.

There were only four of us, so it was an extremely low count player pool. I finished 2-1, with my loss coming on points (something like 66-ish to 25-ish) to a four Naboo build (Ric, Padme, Anakin and Dinee, all with regen).It came down to the last die roll, and one of my Alphas blanked on a defense roll. Both wins were 200 to 50-ish. One was against a Jango/swarmlet five ship list, and the other was against a Fenn/Han/Teroch list. I didn't get the final standings, but I don't believe anyone was 3-0. This is definitely a list I'd play again. The list choice was between the six interceptors, or five Sabers and Night Beast. I finally decided on the six interceptors because, well, because six interceptors. How often do you get to do that?

Ran the following variant of the above yesterday: Saber Squadron Ace - 35 Saber Squadron Ace - 35 Saber Squadron Ace - 35 Alpha Squadron Pilot - 31 Alpha Squadron Pilot - 31 Alpha Squadron Pilot - 31 Total: 198

Edited your list for you.

^^^^^ This. I mean, I wouldn't even *think* about running six interceptors in Extended...

Aren't they in Listfortress? The following is shown: CORUSCANT INVITATIONAL - GALACTIC CHAMPIONSHIP 2020 FINALE It had 189 players.

I haven't run them with a heavy yet, but basically "controlled chaos." I imagine with a heavy, it'll be similar. Start them together, then starburst them on the first turn to divide them up. Have them converge on the first target from several directions.

Five alphas and two academies seems to cause some panic sweats, also.

You just mentioned "upgrades," you didn't specifically mention "missiles."

Or proton or concussion bombs or seismic charges. Yeah... I can't find anything, either.

Yep, you're correct. I've arbitrarily drawn the definition of a swarm at six, so Fenn plus four doesn't quite get there. I was commenting more on the scyk part of it, as opposed to the quantity.

Absolutely... Fenn Rau - Fang Fighter (68) Tansarii Point Veteran (29) Marksmanship (1) Autoblasters (3) Total (33) Tansarii Point Veteran (29) Marksmanship (1) Autoblasters (3) Total (33) Tansarii Point Veteran (29) Marksmanship (1) Autoblasters (3) Total (33) Tansarii Point Veteran (29) Marksmanship (1) Autoblasters (3) Total (33) Build Total (200)

The last time I played against a Sloane swarm I killed the Sloane carrier last, and still won the game. Sloane seems fine as is.

Just a few initial thoughts... I don't have much experience with some of this list, but I'll try it next week. I think the fact that there are five ships helps. I'd use Sunny on any list. Seevor can be decent, especially if most or all of the rest of the build engages after him. The kimo can be pretty good if there are other threats, which there are in this list. Any Kihraxz in any list... thumb's up.

I've heard a Vader with Vader Lego target lock never misses on the re-roll. Is that true?

I've flown the four skull list, and like it. I've found Snakebite to be as much fun and similar in feel, but a little harder to pin down by opponents. The two vipers do that. I pair up the fangs, and pair up the vipers, but keep the pairs close enough so they can mutually support each other. I do tend to fly the fangs a little more cautiously than others might, though, so I generally tend to shy away from Fearless. This "version" of the four fangs tends to fit my play style a little better. Plus... it's starvipers. I mean, come on.

^^^^^ This.

Yep, I believe another inexpensive Talent or two (in the 1-2 cost range) would help, as well as a missile or two in the 3-4 cost range. Right now it doesn't seem like they can take advantage of the double Talent slots, especially in hyperspace.

You might not like this one then. All Fours... (39) Rampage [TIE/rb Heavy] (6) Synced Laser Cannons (3) Target-Assist MGK-300 Points: 48 (43) Seventh Sister [TIE Advanced v1] Points: 43 (42) Fifth Brother (TIE Advanced v1] Points: 42 (36) Saber Squadron Ace [TIE/ln Interceptor] Points: 36 (30) Gideon Hask [TIE/ln Fighter] Points: 30 Total Points: 199

Apologies in advance if the name has already been used. Skull Squadron Pilot (47) Crack Shot (2) Total (49) Skull Squadron Pilot (47) Crack Shot (2) Total (49) Black Sun Assassin (48) Crack Shot (2) Total (50) Black Sun Assassin (48) Crack Shot (2) Total (50) Build Total (198) Fangs are fun. Vipers are fun. So I figured, what the heck...

Our local store has been having events once a month, and alternates between hyperspace and extended. Either format is fine, although I probably slightly prefer extended.
