So I've been toying around with so high PS builds and wanted some thoughts.

Wes

+Swarm Tatics

Cracken

+Swarm Tatics

2x naked Blues

From there you have 4 points to play with.

FCS on the blues.

Engine on Wes. I kinda like this one. Poor mans Turr. Wes shoots then Cracken passes him the action for a boost.

R2-D2 on Wes

R7 on Wes with Cracken passing him TL. This ones a gamble as you may or may not be shot at by the enemy receiving the TL. But with Wes on the board it's likely.

With 4 ships shooting at 8 someone important on the other side is either going to be dead or severely hurt.

I think Cracken is going to find his way into a lot of list. For 21 points you get the support of a PS8 buff and a free action. Sorry Garven. And that dial. Better than a X-Wing IMO.

Definitely not Engine Upgrade. If you boost him away, it may be difficult for him to make sure he can shoot the same target as the group every turn, and he needs to remain in formation for Swarm Tactics. I would go with the FCS on the Blues, or even upgrade them to Daggers so they don't drop to PS2 after Wes and/or Cracken are destroyed. R2-D2 on Wes could be worth a try, but I would start with upgrading the B-wings.

I really like Blues with FCS. I've been trying to figure out a list that can have all shoot at at least 7, but I keep forgetting about Cracken! He is so awesome and now he can make lists as awesome as four PS8 shots.

So, with a little more maneuverability:

Wes Janson - Swarm Tactics

Airen Cracken - Swarm Tactics

Biggs Darklighter

Tarn Mison

There is a fair amount of wiggle room, but I've tried making 4 ship lists that have Biggs and high PS shots, and this foots the bill. I really like Tarn as the last man because with Biggs he survives to late game, where he shines.

This list should be called aces and 8's

Wes Janson - Swarm Tactics

Airen Cracken - Swarm Tactics

Biggs Darklighter

Tarn Mison

I think this is the first list I've seen with just Xs and Zs. I like the mental imagery.

Alternatively if your worries about Wes surviving you could sub in Luke and take r2d2

I like the thought behind this, I would say to go with FCS on the Blues, best 2 points youll ever spend.

Best use for cracken in this list will be to reposition your B wings in the shooting phase. Let them BR after all movement has stopped and make sure they get the shot.

I'd focus killing Craken before Wes. Craken's ability and ST holds this build together. Once he's gone, it'll fall apart like a cheap suit.
