The squad i have so far is
Wedge w/ Expose
Porkins w/ Push The Limit, R5-D8 & Hull
Biggs w/ R2-F2 & ??
so that brings me to 96 points i cannot decied on the mod for Biggs Sheild, Hull or Stealth?
What are your thoughts and why?
Thanks!

You're going to hear often that expose is not worth it, and I would agree. Expose uses your action and drops your agility, wedge might get one shot off then he is dead meat, even with Biggs. Rolling 3 dice with a focus/TL is better than rolling 4 dice with no TL/focus.
Also I used to use R2F2 for Biggs and I don't anymore - it also soaks up an action, so now you have no focus for your evade roll, he'll be gone in no time.
Edited by CptnhalfbeardMy thought is Biggs and Wedge together and flank with Porkins i think i can get 2-3 turns with expose before Biggs bites it. i hope?
Sorry, edited my post then saw your reply - Biggs may help keep wedge around a little, but R2F2 is probably not going to help a lot, rolling 3 evade is nice, but with no Focus you'll still end up taking a good amount of damage. And if I see wedge and Biggs I'll try and keep wedge in range but not Biggs so I can fire at wedge.
I'm probably one of the few people (that I know of) that like expose. To be honest on most builds it won't pay off as others have said since it drains your action. I'm itching to try it on a green squadron A-wing equipped with expose, PTL, prototype veteran and chardaan refit. Comes to 24 points a piece. Not sure how competetive it will be, though I can say it sure sounds fun!
I suppose you might just swap out expose and ptl with opportunist and predator or something but hey.. having prototype veteran really opens up lots of options. I think the a-wing with prototype vet will be the only combination that allows for two elite slots.
Instead of Expose you can throw Torps on Wedge. Wedge with Torps can be deadly.
I really like running Wedge with Push the Limit and an R2 so he can TL+Focus and then clear the stress more easily. I can see Biggs helping him to stay alive if you use expose though.
I like the Porkins loadout. With your remaining 4 points, I suggest either going shield upgrade on Biggs (guaranteed extra hit point that doesn't care about crits) or put a torpedo on Wedge for a massive-damage alpha strike.
