If the sfs With optics aren’t ideal in hyperspace, how about something like this: (57) Major Vonreg [TIE/ba Interceptor] Points: 57 (76) Kylo Ren [TIE/vn Silencer] (3) Brilliant Evasion Points: 79 (33) "Scorch" [TIE/fo Fighter] (2) Fanatical Points: 35 (27) Lieutenant Rivas [TIE/fo Fighter] Points: 27 Total points: 198

Considering this for upcoming hyperspace tourney: Blackout & Friends (63) "Blackout" [TIE/vn Silencer] (4) Advanced Optics Points: 67 (32) Zeta Squadron Survivor [TIE/sf Fighter] (4) Advanced Optics Points: 36 (32) Zeta Squadron Survivor [TIE/sf Fighter] (4) Advanced Optics Points: 36 (32) Zeta Squadron Survivor [TIE/sf Fighter] (4) Advanced Optics Points: 36 (25) Epsilon Squadron Cadet [TIE/fo Fighter] Points: 25 Total points: 200 what do you see? Any specific weaknesses? Would you trade a sf and epsilon for Vonreg?

What does FO have to deal with swarms like that? Or how do you handle it differently with these ships?

Ended up going 2-2. My two losses were against a sear swarm (no idea how to fly this list against that), and then a guy who apparently just got back from the Las Vegas tournament (so I expected a loss). Won against a resistance 4 ship and imperial aces. I expected 0-4 as the newbie. All in all pretty happy with that day. Thanks everyone for the help.

Here’s where I think I finally landed. Since Vonreg is particularly squishy, I’m opting for a less mistake prone comp, at least until I get him on the table more: (27) Lieutenant Rivas [TIE/fo Fighter] Points: 27 (33) "Scorch" [TIE/fo Fighter] (2) Fanatical Points: 35 (39) Lieutenant LeHuse [TIE/sf Fighter] (10) Special Forces Gunner (5) Hull Upgrade (2) Fanatical Points: 56 (76) Kylo Ren [TIE/vn Silencer] Points: 76 Total points: 194 Any suggested final tweaks? Really appreciate all the help.

After testing last night, I’m considering an sf instead for that third ship: Tourney Option (54) "Holo" [TIE/ba Interceptor] (2) Proud Tradition Points: 56 (76) Kylo Ren [TIE/vn Silencer] Points: 76 (39) Lieutenant LeHuse [TIE/sf Fighter] (6) Concussion Missiles (2) Fire-Control System (2) Fanatical Points: 49 Total points: 181 would you at this point put AO on Kylo or sfg on leHuse? I do like the flexibility of all being fives, and holo seems very flexible and worth a try. Is this viable?

Is scorch+eps preferable to a named sf in this sort of setup?

Thanks for all the input so far. I’m definitely open to anything. If I did switch out Rush for Scorch+Cadet, how would you end up playing that squad differently?

Playing in my first extended store tournament coming up in a couple weeks. Since it's my first time, I'd love some feedback on a couple lists I am thinking of bringing. Bear in mind, I do have some restrictions on which ships I own ( 2 silencers, 1 ba, 4 fos, 1 sf, 1 Ups). I've only been playing for a few months and don't know too much about what our local meta looks like. Kylo Ren (76) Advanced Optics (4) Ship total: 80 Half Points: 40 Threshold: 3 Major Vonreg (57) Daredevil (2) Ship total: 59 Half Points: 30 Threshold: 2 "Rush" (57) Ship total: 57 Half Points: 29 Threshold: 3 Total: 196 View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v8ZsZ200Z236XW186WWY381X117WWWY386XWW&sn=New%20Squadron&obs= The thought here is that I am somewhat comfortable with aces (which doesn't mean I'm good at them), and I would have less to focus on if I am only paying attention to 3 ships. I'd throw optics on Rush, but the 4 point bid might be nice. OR Captain Phasma (39) Special Forces Gunner (10) Ship total: 49 Half Points: 25 Threshold: 3 Lieutenant Tavson (64) Ship total: 64 Half Points: 32 Threshold: 6 Omega Squadron Ace (28) Fanatical (2) Ship total: 30 Half Points: 15 Threshold: 2 Omega Squadron Ace (28) Fanatical (2) Ship total: 30 Half Points: 15 Threshold: 2 Lieutenant Rivas (27) Ship total: 27 Half Points: 14 Threshold: 2 Total: 200 View in Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v8ZsZ200Z385XWWW182WWY289XWWWWWWWY267X181WWY267X181WWY265XW&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs= This one would focus on bullying with Phasma and spreading damage with some synergy with Tavson's extra actions and the FOs strength increasing as the game progresses with fanatical. Rivas is kind of the odd one out, but there were only 27 points remaining. Advice?

Hi shincan, Yes, you will need conversion kits to play any 1.0 ships with 2.0. New pilot cards with initiative changes, dials, etc. For only a couple ships, it may be more worth it to invest those resources into 2.0 expansions instead of two conversion kits... at least at this point.
