All the new and old goodies starring Vader/Soontir/Whisper

[ForceM 1,456]

So i thought i would throw all the new toys Empire gets together with Whisper to built a totally OP list XD. What do you think? Improvements?

NEW ORDER 999

100 points

PILOTS

Darth Vader (34)

TIE Advanced (29), TIE/x1 (0), Determination (1), Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

Soontir Fel (32)

TIE Interceptor (27), Push the Limit (3), Autothrusters (2)

"Whisper” (37)

TIE Phantom (32), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

I know i am really tight on points and would have some other important stuff to fit in like a Stealth Device for Soontir, a better EPT or Engine Upgrade for Vader or a FCS for Whisper, let alone a point bid for initiative.

So i tried to fit in the absolute must haves only. Feel free to improve the list and let me know!

I played a very similar list to this one but I moved a few things around.

 

Soontir + PtL

Vader + EU/Title/ATC

Echo + ACD/VI

 

I really don't like Whisper, Echo is just brilliant and with the Engine Upgrade on Vader you have three very powerful and very maneuverable ships that can skip around.  

[Krynn007 2,445]

Well with fel and vader you have two big threats there so I like echo in this case

Echo

Advanced cloak

Veteran instincts

Fel

Ptl

Auto thrusters

Vader

Title

Predator

Advance targeting computer

I like the idea of the three pilots all being PS9, but I also like "Echo" much better than "Whisper". I think this is almost the exact list I came up with to try once we get Autothrusters.

[ForceM 1,456]

Yes the idea was to have an all 9 PS list for freedom of movement and firing and to have insane acion economy to boot.

I thought about Echo too, and what i could do with the 2 points. It would mean Predator on Vader, or perhaps even Lone Wolf and a 1 point bid. Or i could just take a Targeting computer on Fel, but that's a bit lower on my priority list.

Sadly even with Echo there is no way of getting EU on Vader.

Why bother with whisper when you could have another ps9/10 interceptor with auto thrusters! :-)

Yes Phennir or Jax. Just that they are less of a threat than Whisper. But they would allow for more upgrades... I have another list usin Phennir btw.

[Fnords 78]

Could do something like this to...

 

Soontir Fel (27)

Push the Limit (3)

Autothrusters (2)

Stealth Device (3)

Royal Guard TIE (0)

 

Darth Vader (29)

Lone Wolf (2)

Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

Engine Upgrade (4)

TIE/x1 (0)

 

Maarek Stele (27)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Advanced Targeting Computer (1)

TIE/x1 (0)

 

Total: 100

Taking your original list, you could do VI instead of Determination on Vader.  That would let you worry less about not having an initiative bid, because 11 is tough to beat.  As far as switching out Whisper for an Interceptor.  Carnor Jax would be awesome.  He doesn't do as much damage personally as Whisper, but Vader and Fel will do more damage (and take less damage) as they're shooting at ships without defensive tokens.

Well i have exactly that list saved in squad builder for if i would go 2 Advanced 1 Interceptor in the end.

But i will wait what Juno Eclipse does until i decide if i take Maarek or her!
