This is my fun list mostly because I haven't done much tournament at all and also because I love Boba Fett and just couldn't put him on the sidelines. Echo is also the most fun ship to pilot in all of x-wing.

FETTIGATOR SQUADRON (100 points)
1 • Boba Fett - Expert Handling - Autoblaster - Navigator - Engine Upgrade - Slave 1 (53)
2 • Echo - Veteran Instincts - Advanced Cloaking Device (35)
3 • Academy Pilot (12)

Thoughts? Am I stuck with Tie Swarm variations?

The Autoblaster is a waste. While it has a cool ability, having to be at Range 1 to use it sucks. If you really must have a cannon go with Ion or the HLC. I really do think that playing with that many points in Fett pushes you into the Mini swarm for options. That single Academy is going to be annoying for about a turn (if it doesn't die before then), and I'm just not sure you have the firepower with your other two ships to put you into a position the opponent can't come back from. I'd seriously consider not running Echo, and taking those 40(after dropping the Autoblaster) points and doing something else. You might even consider dropping the Academy and seeing what you can do with Interceptors/Bombers with the 52 points you'd have.

Step up, bro

Yo Chumb, do you think that 3 ship Imperial lists are viable in a tournament?

I think so, provided that you have some big, beefy ships involved.

Not Chumbalaya obviously, but 3x BH has always been viable. Beyond that Firespray/Shuttle/Phantom is something that seems to be getting some steam too. I like the 2nd list a lot better than the one with the Academy pilot, just wish there was a point to spare somewhere to get a Doomshuttle or Yorr instead of the Interceptor. Just not possible with Fett+Echo. List is extremely maneuverable though, and I think it would be pretty fun to pilot.

I agree I think the second list is a great idea, there is lots of fun slippery maneuvering there. I think I'll give it a try!
