Hey all,

As part of my efforts to quit playing Palpatine Defenders (no withdrawal tremors yet), I offer this list for critique:

============
Rac Whisper
============

99 points
------

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (58)
VT-49 Decimator (46), Expert Handling (2), Gunner (5), Hotshot Co-pilot (4), Tactical Jammer (1)

“Whisper” (41)
TIE Phantom (32), Agent Kallus (2), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

------

I realized I didn't have the points for a kitted out RAC and Whisper at optimal performance (including at least a small initiative bid) so I thought Handling might be a decent sub for engine upgrade. And at ps8 he moves before Whisper making the jammer possibly useful (but no token stripping of Whisper targets).

Thoughts? (Mostly for friendlies/(re)learning how to fly non Defender lists, but I don't want to cripple myself) totally open to different crew combinations on RAC

My suggestions

Maybe drop VI on Whisper to Adaptability, am not too up on the meta to really know if there is a big difference between ps7 and ps8

Drop the Tactical Jammer. Kallus and Expert Handling and replace with VI and EU on Chripy and give Whisper an Intelligence agent crew, the agent is quite handy at helping you make the decloak calls

No keep the VI. You want whisper to be moving last and shooting first to get the cloak back to keep it alive.

: 4500pts

Lothlorien: 3500pts
Rohan: 1500pts
Serpent: 2000pts
Modor: 1500pts

In a practice match, I realized I really want RAC shooting first to strip tokens (almost as much Whisper wants to shoot first)... so for this build, it's Adaptability or VI on him.

But maybe there's a better crew combination?

I've always found a recon specialist useful. Can't have too many focus tokens... Inlet agent is also pretty solid choice.

I can't see recon spec being great for Chiraneau. At R1/2 he gets to change a focus to a crit anyway and he almost never has defense dice... on Kenkirk maybe, but there Isard is only 1 point more... intel agent otoh could be handy.

How about this:
99 points
------

Commander Kenkirk (58)
VT-49 Decimator (44), Expert Handling (2), Emperor Palpatine (8), Ysanne Isard (4)

“Whisper” (41)
TIE Phantom (32), Agent Kallus (2), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Or this:

98 points

Rear Admiral Chiraneau (57)
VT-49 Decimator (46), Veteran Instincts (1), Gunner (5), Hotshot Co-pilot (4), Intelligence Agent (1)

“Whisper” (41)
TIE Phantom (32), Agent Kallus (2), Fire-Control System (2), Veteran Instincts (1), Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
