Since I first set eyes on Edge of the Empire I knew I wanted a fleet of ships which were less Rebel and more Freelance. While I hope in the future there will be such ships as the YT-2400 and Cloakshape Fighters, for now I'm basing this list on what I know to be available:

Lando Calrissian

Millennium Falcon

Wingman

Concussion Missiles

Nien Nunb

Chewbacca

Shield Upgrade

Jan Ors

Moldy Crow

Wingman

Ion Cannon Turret

Nien Nunb

Shield Upgrade

This was my original 100 points list and I intended the two to work together but now I might split them up.

8 Z-95 ( yes 8 ) Tala Squadron Pilots

Cluster Missiles

Munitions Failsafe

I might split these up so that 4 join Jan and 4 join Lando. Might swap their "Wingman" for "Squad Leader".

GR-75 Transport

Toryn Farr

Shield Upgrade

Comms Booster

Shield Projector

Slicer Tools

Thoughts, opinions, mocking laughter...what do you think of my Epic smuggler list?

I would go assault missiles/mix and match between the clusters and assault. This will deter the inevitable swarms of ties (and maybe other z95s in tourneys) from grouping up too much (which formation flying in large groups is their strength).

My 2 cents.

Ah yes...the swarms. Good tip there with the missiles. Though I hope they'll be hittiles

Nien Numb can't be on both Lando and Jan, for starters.

I don't know if 1 main attacker, 1 ion cannon, and 8 TIE fighters will be enough to finish off whatever your alpha strike leaves alive

Why Cluster Missiles?

Unless you have Jonus or a FCS, Concussion Missiles are better, even against agility 1 targets.

Maybe he prefers range 1 over range 3?

Leave Nien Nunb with the HWK.

I didn't realise my list was an Alpha Strike...not going to complain if it is.

Why Cluster Missiles?

Unless you have Jonus or a FCS, Concussion Missiles are better, even against agility 1 targets.

It was for the "perfrom action twice" which I hope to cause significant destruction. When combined with the munitions failsafe it means someone is going to get a pounding. Though I can see where the concussion has advantages.

"Don't fire 'till you see the whites of their eyes"

Range 1 is my preferred range.

The advantages of concussion over clusters are

1. range 3 and
2. more damage.

Unless you have FCS, marksmanship or multiple focus tokens, clusters have only one advantage over concussion: Range 1. You choose clusters because you want to shoot at range 1. For range 2 (and 3) you use concussion.

Isn't Munitions failsafe a bad match for cluster missiles, since it is very unlikely that both attacks will miss.

Doh! oops

That was my first reaction...

Maybe a mix of Assault Missiles and Concussion Missiles?

Since I'm not really that keen on the Transport, though I'll probably still get one, I thought I'd see what I could do with 300 points to spend on just ships. Hopefully we'll see YT-2400 and Cloakshape Fighters in the future, with Ghost from the upcoming Rebels perhaps, so I can put together a more varied list. But sticking with my smuggler theme, here's what I've come up with:

Z-95 Headhunters

12 x Bandit Squadron Pilots

Ion Pulse Missiles

Munitions Failsafe

192 points

YT-1300

Lando Calrissian

Millennium Falcon

Draw their fire ( with so many hull and shield, it could prove helpful to other ships and... )

Concussion Missiles

Chewbacca ( ...chewbacca can deal with any consequences of drawing the fire )

Nien Nunb

Shield Upgrade

59 points

HWK-290

Kyle Katarn

Moldy Crow

Marksmanship ( trying to improve the effectiveness of the turret )

Blaster Turret ( there's enough ions and this just gives the HWK something to shoot with. Got enough points for a change to Ion Turret )

Recon Specialist

Shield Upgrade

38 points

289 points total
