At my third Store Championship this season I brought a (now) prototype list of:

Captain Nym - VI, Autoblaster Turret, Extra Munitions, Cruise Missiles, Bomblet Generator, Havoc, Advanced Sensors, Guidance Chips  and Genius.

Fenn Rau - PTL, Concord Dawn Protector and Autothrusters

N'dru Suhlak - Trick Shot, Cruise Missiles, Guidance Chips and Glitterstim.

I played five matches, losing two. One against Fair Ship Rebels 2 and another against Whisper, Wampa and Kylo Ren with Palpy, which I lost firstly because I forgot the "I'll Show You the Dark Side" penetrates shields, putting Nym at ps0 and because the other player got extremely lucky with the dice, positioning and crit cards. I actually outplayed him and caught Whisper in a bomb in range 1 of Nym. Had he rolled two hits, I would've won. She then shot at N'dru, who was waiting with a five dice attack rolled a natural hit, hit, crit and the crit went through and flipped to a Direct Hit - no N'dru kill shot. Then Nym gave him to unavoidable hits from his turret. Whisper was at one hull. Then a couple og rounds later, my two hull Fenn was a millimeter from having Whisper in arc at range 1, and he rolled perfectly, so that was dead Fenn. Then when ps0, one hull Nym was having a five dice cruise shot, Whisper shot first with naked dice and rolled just what she needed to kill Nym. That probably kept me out of top 4. In another match, I killed Emon Azzameen in one firing round with a total of 15 dice. It was glorious. Advanced Sensors gave me an edge against other ps 10 Nyms, as I could take a target lock and then tallon roll behind them and fire a cruise missiles with re-rolls and GC. It also made him much more versatile with his bombs.

Anyways, the reason I call it a prototype list, is that I have 22-24 points, that I can play around with. If I remove Extra Munitions from Nym, I can get N'dru at ps9, making his missile so much easier to get off. Trick Shot is very circumstantial, and very diffecult to trigger and N'dru often died before shooting. With ps9 I can at least ps kill Miranda. I could also switch him with Serissu with Heavy Scyk, VI and Tractor Beam to place an enemy Nym at a rock or targetless to deny his shots. It can also help deny actions on other ships, by forcing them to fly through an obstacle in the following round.

Then I could also use Captain Jostero with Crack Shot, XX-23 S-Thread Tracers, Munitions Failsafe, Guidance Chips and Vaksai at 24 points.
