I've concluded Viktor Hel is the saving grace for the K-Fighter. The other pilots have potential, but I've watched him deliver on that potential twice now thanks to his ability. Today's match was fun, and despite my bad flying, he paid off well.

Viktor Hel + Vaksai + VI + Inertial Dampeners + Stealth Device + Engine Upgrade + Autothrusters + XX-23 S-Thread Tracers

Quinn Jast + Deadeye + Guidance Chips + Heavy Scyk + Concussion Missiles

Asajj Ventress + Gyroscopic Targeting + Latts Razzi

My dice started hot for the first round, but then cooled a lot for the rest of the game. I rolled max hits/crits on every die roll in the first round of shooting (including the missile), yet only got 4 damage into Guri because of her amazing rolls. It took me another 3 rounds of shooting to finally land the remaining hit and kill her (her rolls were that good, and mine that bad), and in the mean time she was passing free focus tokens to Fenn and a Contracted Scout. After that there was a hairy furball of bumping and me missing lots of shots. Asajj took heavy damage, but between Viktor and Asajj I was dishing out a lot of stress, and this helped me a lot (both in impeding foes and shedding damage with Latts).

I never managed to scratch Fenn, but I got half points on the jumpmaster and full on Guri. I lost Quinn right as we were out of time, due to barely flubbing her defense against Fenn, and also gave half points on Asajj. I managed to win on points, so not too bad.

I forgot to use tracers as always, but I actually did use the Inertial Dampeners! And to great effect too (got to shoot instead of bumping).

Quinn's munition... I should have remembered Harpoon Missiles; those would have been terrifying. Concussion Missiles are alright, but I'd have preferred Harpoons. But they didn't appear on my app for squadbuilding. >:(  The other munitions I'd consider are Ion Torpedoes and Cruise Missiles.

I hope everyone's having a good Wednesday!
