So a few friends and I have just started to play X-Wing, and in my usual fashion, I went all out buying everything I could get my hands on. So far I have:

Rebels -
1 YT-1300
3 X-wings
2 B-wings (one Rebel Aces)
2 A-wings (one Rebel Aces)
1 HWK

Imperial-
4 TIE Fighters (two starter set and two expansion)
2 TIE Interceptors (Imperial Aces)
1 Phantom
1 Defender
1 Firespray
1 Decimator
1 Lambda Class Shuttle

Out of that, what have people been running that has been competitive? I know the winner last year was a Fat Han and Z-95s, but I don't think I have the skill to be competitive with Rebels. Thoughts?

Interceptors with push the limit sound pretty good, I plan to try them out tomorrow.

Whisper with Veteran Instincts is also deadly. She's in a phantom.

It's my understanding that that runs about 75 points, give or take. Beyond that, I don't know what's really that great. I'm having a lot of fun with my defender equipping Heavy Laser Cannon and outmaneuver, but people don't seem that impressed by it.
