Okay, so I've played a few games. Bought and Traded some stuff. Ended up with 3 Starter boxes (2 New, 1 original) with the following expansions: VT-49, Imperial Aces, TIE Defender, TIE Fighter, and a Y-Wing. I've also got an Engine Upgrade, Gunner, and Soontir Fel/Carnor Jax.

I just put this together and wondered about the viability and what I could do to help it out:

Captain Oicunn + Push the Limit + Ysanne Isard + Gunner + Mara Jade + Dauntless + Engine Upgrade

“Howlrunner” + Predator

“Dark Curse”

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to X-Wing, most of us don't bite (don't mention Star-Viper or Scyks !)

As for the list I'd tweak it as follows,

Howlrunner

Captain Oicunn,,Predator, Ysanne Isard, Mara Jade, Dauntless, Anti-Pursuit Lasers (not sure this is amongst the cards you have but proxys are easy)

Obsidian Squadron Pilot x 2

Howlrunner is stronger the more re-rolls she can give so giving her some TIE buddys is always nice

Oicunn is a bit of a challenge, given you want to be trying to smash him into other ships it's generally a good idea to avoid Pilot Talents that are Actions, yes you can get actions via the Dauntless title but then you end up Stressed which means Ysanne can't trigger, the Predator EPT seems like the right choice for him. If you are still worried about stress you could drop the Obsidian Ties to Academy Ties and give Howlrunner the Wingman Talent (again you might have to proxy it)

Also pretty much expect the Decimator to explode every game, just try to inflict as much damage as possible before the inevitable happens.

Its a lot of points into a ship that goes down fast when focused upon whilst the 2 TIE/ln will have a lot of trouble making an impact.

I would go with a lighter decimator with a couple of aces or upgrade to the rear admiral and partner him with Soontir

I don't have Anti-Pursuit Lasers so I'd have to Proxy that. I put in Gunner instead of Predator, so switching back doesn't seem like a problem.

If I can't proxy something, what would be a good substitute for APL?

ingtaer,
I looked at the RAC and Soontir, but you either don't do a lot of upgrades and can get one other ship oryou load RAC and Soontir with tons of stuff
