Taking A Different Track

Recommended Posts

Here is a list that I have been playing with that is a TON of fun.  While I don't think it will win in a competitive scene, I am thinking about taking it to a local store championship just to bring something different.

 

*Soontir Fel

-Royal Guard TIE

-PTL

-Shield Upgrade

-Stealth Device

 

Yes, I know that Stealth Device is hit or miss.  However, doing what I can to make sure that the first round of shooting is at range 3 gives me enough dice to make it work.  Yes, if it works once it equals a Hull Upgrade, if it works more than that, it pays for itself.

 

Sigma Squadron Pilot

-Intel Agent

-Enhanced Scopes

-Stygium Particle Accelerator

 

Omicron Group Pilot

-Enhanced Scopes

-Autoblaster

-Intel Agent

-Mara Jade

- Anti-Pursuit Lasers

 

These two ships offer something that most players don't expect or use - the ability to go first, and see where your opponent is going. A lot of times where they are going is obvious, the question is did he do a hard 2 or 3, what straight, etc.....    By getting there first you can:

1.  Setup an ambush with the Phantom

2.  Setup a "Blocker" with the Shuttle

3.  Use the Shuttle to do 1 damage with APL

4.  Stress them all @ range 1 with Mara.

 

 

So, this entire list is setup to have two ships move first, and then a final ship (which can get into great position with all its abilities) get into a great covering location.  And, with Fel's PS 9, very few ships can match or beat it to get into an even BETTER position.  True, Turrets are a problem, and both the shuttle and the Phantom are sitting there for quite a while before they can shoot, and are easy targets.  I have with a few (un)lucky dice rolls had my Phantom killed outright before it could ever take a shot.

It'd be fun to fly I think. I'm not certain how consistently you'll be able to block with the shuttle. It's not very mobile. Not certain if you could squeeze an engine upgrade onto it by rearranging a few other parts.

Ran buzz saw whisper, captain Yorr and Soontir Fel today to some success. People really underestimate the shuttle! I like your version, I just prefer two PS-9 monsters charging about.

I know that is the Gencon Winners list, but I had already independently fleshed out everything except I was running a Doom shuttle before.
