What's the theme for Fopocalypse?

I might suggest dropping cluster missiles, and grabbing Advanced Targeting Computer on Vader. It'll cause more damage than accuracy corrector.

If you run Vader, the only Systems Upgrade he should ever have is Advanced Targeting Computer.

Also, drop Swarm Tactics because it's useless when you have that many ships on the board unless you can chain them all together. Drop Cluster Missiles and use those points to give him a better Elite upgrade, such as Predator.

You're playing a 200 point game without using eight shuttles. You're doing it wrong.

Sometimes, you come across as a bit harsh. And then you drop a gem like this.

I like to think of Peregrine as uncompromising.

Someone might want to play a less than optimal list to challenge themselves.

Peregrine... you are hard core.
You could also run all 4 IG-88's (I'm 1 short... maybe I need to run a 50 point Boba Fett instead of the last one).

Or you could run 8 TLT Y-Wings.
Pesky 12 small-base ship limit in competative play, otherwise you could run 16 Ties or Z's. I imagine a board where you can'd to a maneuver without running into a filler ship.

There is a 32pt dog fight component and I can pick a build!!!

Give Soontir Autothrusters instead of TC. Give Maarek Advanced Targeting computer instead of Munitions failsafe. Give Vader Advanced Targeting Computer and Lone Wolf instead of Marksmanship.

...and Engine Upgrade. Thirty-two points on Vader without Advanced Targeting Computer and a decent Elite upgrade is a waste of thirty-two points. At a bare minimum, Vader should have Engine Upgrade and Advanced Targeting Computer.

Agreed with ScootyPuff. I know that it is supposed to be a fun event, but you don't do anyone you play any favors if you aren't playing a fully equipped Vader or Fel.

That's a 34 point build, minimum. Limit is 32.

Then find another 32 points because Vader without those things sucks.

There's a 39pt Vader in the OP?

Read the post I was actually replying to. It talks about a 1v1 32 point aces build.

Oh yeah, I see. I assumed that was just an updated list. The point still stands though, a competitive Vader doesn't fit into 32pts.

Anyway, there's a very recent thread for this http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/667513.page
