With it being star wars day do you think FF will finally reveal the 3 imperial commander?

Well it's 5 squishy ships that want to joust.
Could be tough to against another swarm or arc dodgers
Even though you have some shields and extra hull they are still quite squishy
I'd rather have another tie instead honestly
What I find with TIEs is if you have 1 or 2 named pilots it's easier to keep them alive vs 4-5 named pilots in a squad.
If you have 4 Academy let's say and lose one, it's no big deal.
If you have 5 ties that are all named and lose one it feels as though you really lost something.
I found this out the other night flying against a 6 ship tie swarm that was all named pilots.

Whats your backup for him?
Im using Bossk with Crack Shot, (not sold on this yet) Mangler Cannon, K4 droid, and an Outlaw tech

his backup is Kavil with TLT and Predator and N'dru with Lone Wolf and Glitterstim

Not really liking the z95 ship here but havent played a lot of games with it yet

thehoffman2787 reacted to JamieSpace in I have just bought a shuttle...now what? May 8, 2015

So I just bought the white space cow and I'm trying to think of nice semi-competitive lists to use it in

So far I came up with the below:

Captain Yorr — Lambda-Class Shuttle 24
Advanced Sensors 3
Intelligence Agent 1
Engine Upgrade 4

Saber Squadron Pilot — TIE Interceptor 21
Push the Limit 3
Stealth Device 3

Saber Squadron Pilot — TIE Interceptor 21
Push the Limit 3

"Dark Curse" — TIE Fighter

I used Yorr as it might be fun to occasional take stress from the interceptors so they can be more unpredictable next turn &. Dark Curse is mostly to fill the points and is always fun to run.

I don't have a mangler cannon card as of yet or Autothrusters. I know they are basically compulsory on interceptors .

Any other good builds for the shuttle with Interceptors, Firespray & Phantoms? (My imp stuff is a bit low)

How is Darth Vader on the Jan hwk290?

Farlander. Tycho would just laugh then circle around for free shots.
Also watch out for Defenders, Squints or A-Wings. Dumping that much stress on them isn't a big deal. At worst they'd just disengage for a turn or two.

A Falcon could be the starting point to a team. Then you can use your remaining ships to fill out the rest. If you don't want to do that a three xwing build works great.
