Kloud 7 Posted November 23, 2015 Tiny Swarm + Lambda-Vader (99) Carnor Jax — TIE Interceptor 26 Push the Limit 3 Autothrusters 2 Stealth Device 3 Royal Guard TIE 0 Ship Total: 34 "Mauler Mithel" — TIE Fighter 17 Push the Limit 3 Targeting Computer 2 Ship Total: 22 "Epsilon Leader" — TIE/fo Fighter 19 Ship Total: 19 Omicron Group Pilot — Lambda-Class Shuttle 21 Darth Vader 3 Ship Total: 24 New Damege Deck My idea is to get close the faster I can with the TIEs, and leave in the back the shuttle for make critics while the swarm is coming back Would you change anything?

blade_mercurial 2,091 Posted November 23, 2015 3 ships certainly is a 'tiny' swarm.... Anyway, I've never had success flying interceptors in formation. They don't like to have their movement options become predictable, although at least you could break Carnor away at any time and not really be any worse off, so there is that. In a way, its kind of a catch 22: if you don't want Carnor to be stressed, you have to fly in formation (therefore somewhat predictable) to keep his dial open (but he can't take full advantage of it as long as he's in formation). And once he breaks formation with a 'surprise' move, he's back to being stressed at the end of each turn, and therefore stuck on green moves like any other PTL interceptor... Epsilon Leader does give a significant assist to Mauler though, so I guess there's that. I still feel that it would be nice to have more ships, because Mauler is so easy to kill (despite possibly having 2 tokens for defense). Alternative would be: 2 academy pilots + howlrunner = 42 Jax w/ PTL, title, hull & Autos = 34 Vader shuttle = 24 100 1 extra ship, but 2 have PS1, so not necessarily better, although more consistent firepower and better overall durability...
