It's a 3 pilot rebel list... And a poor one at that. If you want to go with the basic premise, at least put the PT on Biggs instead of the Dagger. With the logic being that the Dagger wants to use the HLC at R2-3... otherwise why pay 7 points for it? And now you get to shoot off PT+ Conc + HLC on the opening turn. But, besides for just fun, I wouldn't bother running it as it'll get torn apart by any competent player. Tycho is the best end game unit for the rebels, but you won't get to end game.
One problem I see is that if you are taking Biggs, then you are probably gonna have your other ships at range 1 of him to make use of his ability. That in turn makes you very likely to be targeted by Assault Missiles. As an Imperial player that often runs Assault Missiles on my Tie Bombers, I love to see Biggs for that very reason. I love it even more if Biggs flankers are A wings because then I can dish them damage without having to deal with there 3 evades. If you played me, very likely I would have 2-3 Assault missiles coming at Biggs in the first round of shooting. If you had Tycho near to him, your big ace would be severely hurt without using his great evade dice value. I guess my point is that A wings in general and expensive A wings in particular are not the best candidates to run with Biggs. Now if you are not planning on it and just using Biggs to shield your B wing, it is not as bad. I agree with Khyros and think you should at least give the PT to Biggs, so he would be able to shoot back better at range 2-3 while the Dagger lets loose his HLC. I hope this helps a bit, not trying to be overly critical.
Assault Missile weakness is not a significant detriment to a list. But only having 3 ships certainly is.
Were I you I would cut the Torpedos, R2D2, and the Torpedoes completely. That leaves you 12 points. I'd probably cut the Hull Upgrade and the HLC too. That gives you 22 Points for a whole nother B-wing. Cut the Dagger Squadron down to a Blue Squadron as well and you can even fit a FCS on one of them. Once Chaardan Refit hits you could fit two FCS's.
I know it breaks your theme/name, but 1/4th your list in paper is pretty significant.
Come back to this list after all the new rebel {scum} stuff hits.
